Expecting a five star experience, we received one. Not only was the lodge in an ideal location, the…read morepeople throughout the organization were fantastic. The food was great and the service across the board was exemplary. And needless to say the fishing experience was topline with super experienced guides David Kern and Isaac Corman. The true test of an experience, however, comes when one sees how management deals with an issue. Our issue was that the air conditioning broke and the first night the room was unbearably hot. They had an AC team come in and although they couldn't fix the unit while we were there, they had a portable unit installed to take care of the immediate issue. And more importantly, Manu, the manager, worked to reach an acceptable arrangement to cover our discomfort. Overall - I would definitely return and recommend for others to come see what they have to offer.

I've never fly fished in my life (TBH, I rarely even FISH). So when I learned our 2022 corporate…read moreleadership trip would be a 3-night fly fishing excursion on Montana's Madison River, I was honestly skeptical. But not did I learn how to cast a fly (and land a Trout!), but my visit to Madison Valley Ranch ended up being one of the best trips I've ever taken. From the moment you walk in the door, the ranch rolls out the red carpet. After being welcomed with a cold draft beer and tour of the property, we settled into our very comfortable guest rooms to unwind before dinner. Whether you plan to fly fish or not, the entire ranch is designed to make you feel at ease, and at home -- from the incredible back porch views to the outrageously good dishes served up at every meal. Manu and her team take customer service to a new level, from equipping you for an incredible day on the river to selecting the perfect bottle of Cabernet to pair with your dinner. No detail is too small for them, and no request goes unmet. The accommodations are as comfortable as any 4-star hotel, the meals as delicious as any gourmet restaurant, and the views as beautiful as a slice of heaven. And with ample meeting space for corporate groups, its the perfect setting for a team-building escape. I simply can't say enough about Madison Valley Ranch -- whether you're an experienced fisherman or just learning to cast a fly, it's hard to imagine a better place in America to put your rod into the river.

Their ability to book our unit for this winter has been incredible! We now have nearly 90k in total reservations on the books in less than 8 weeks! Also, the physical property management of the home has been very efficient regarding completion of projects and the communication/execution for maintenance related issues. Ascend Properties recently oversaw the complete updating of our bedrooms, creating a beautiful rustic modern look. I highly recommend Ascend Properties if you are looking for a topnotch vacation rental management company in Big Sky.

We came across this place in my search and were able to order "to go" and enjoy our meal on the big wrap around porch. We ordered from their basement dining menu and everything sounded delicious. There were even clearly marked GF items. My husband and I both ordered burgers made with Montana Wagyu beef and loved them. Unfortunately they don't cook them lower than medium but they were still excellent. Mine had bacon which had unique smoke wood flavor. The GF bun didn't deter from the overall meal thankfully. The side house salad was nothing special, but very good. Really glad we stopped by!

Holy hell. First time in Big Sky and I am absolutely in love…read more The resort is MASSIVE...like, "I‑did‑three‑full‑days‑of‑boarding‑and-still-didn't‑hit‑every‑lift" massive. Every time we thought we were getting our bearings, we'd discover another whole zone tucked behind a ridge. Big Sky really does live up to its name. We kicked things off on what was supposed to be a "warm‑up run," but joke's on us, it was long, challenging, and honestly kind of brutal... in the best possible way. These runs are no joke and some of the longest I've ever ridden. But once the legs woke up, the rest of the day just flowed. Endless terrain, great snow, and barely any crowds. Absolute bliss. Had to pop into The Montage on the far left side of the mountain, and wow, the cocktails are phenomenal. Pricey? Yes. But you're on a mountain this bougie... what did we expect? Totally worth it. And let's talk about that gondola to tram combo up toward Lone Mountain. INSANE. The views are surreal, the exposure is wild, and the access is next‑level. Will I ever attempt the Big Couloir? Absolutely not. Do I love knowing it's there for people braver (and crazier) than me? Absolutely yes. Between the bowls, tree runs, off‑piste pockets, and wide‑open cruisers, there's truly something for everyone and somehow it never feels crowded. Big Sky has officially earned a top spot on my favorite‑resorts list. No question, I will 100% be back.

Fo $116, one adult, one senior ticket you could ride the tram/gondolas and the ski lift all day. The tram took you up Lone Peak so far then you transfered to the gondola for the rest of the accent to 11,116 feet. It was well worth the price of the tickets. The staff were very friendly, gave helpful directions and instructions as well as informative. The whole area was clean and well laid out. There were plenty of food options and shopping, places to sit, chill, relax and enjoy the phenomenal views from gound kevel. Free parking. Riding the open air ski lift was super fun

There are so many food options close by that it was hard to make decisions on where to go! We stayed here three nights over a long weekend for a friend's wedding. We were greeted by the home owner, who showed us around and told us about the house history. There is a great musical tower in the living room that you must see if you go. There is a rabbit in the yard who enjoys peanuts! Who knew? Came right up to us and took a few peanuts from our hands. The room was gorgeous and when the window was open you could easily hear the water fountain feature in the yard, which was incredibly relaxing. We hardly ever take naps, but on this stay the bed was so comfy we ended up lounging happily! We had a breakfast one of the mornings, which was so tasty - mushroom omelette with fresh fruit on the side. It was made on site by the owner and a friend of his and you could tell that care was put into making it. Overall: A+ Book in advance (they fill up quick), feed the yard rabbit, enjoy breakfast and venture around the grounds!

I'm going back in June, which will be my 10th consecutive year staying at this lodge. My reasons for going back year-after-year are now numerous. The fishing is consistently beyond comparison - the guides are the best in Southwest Montana; the large, nicely appointed, double occupancy guest rooms are cleverly separated by a step down and partial height partition wall, which provides a nice separation between roommates; the food is superb - gourmet quality and plentiful; and Jay and Mary, the lodge owners, are the nicest, most charming hosts you could ever hope for! Five Rivers Lodge is operated as a well-oiled machine, catering to the guest's needs and special requirements - all of which combine to make a stay at Five Rivers Lodge a memorable, rewarding experience. It's no wonder that it is frequented by so many known fly fishing greats. I highly recommend this lodge!
