Big Sky Vacation Rentals: MVC Swift Bear Chalet

This beautifully curated Big Sky retreat is stylish, sophisticated, and sets the benchmark for luxury Big Sky lodging. A natural nirvana nestled in the trees with breathtaking views of Lone Peak and the Andesite Mountains, ski-in/ski-out access to 5,850 acres of Big Sky beauty and Big Sky’s best wildlife viewing.

The beauty of Big Sky is captured perfectly from this 4,000 sq ft custom lodge with thoughtful design and detail throughout. The sunlit great room and outdoor deck provide warm and inviting spaces for friends and family to gather! From meals cooked in the gourmet kitchen and shared around the table, to nights in front of the fireplace or stargazing from the hot tub, Swift Bear Chalet provides a feeling of privacy and calm.

Swift Bear Chalet is perfect for large group getaways and comfortably sleeps 11 guests in four unique and individually decorated bedrooms with a sofa bed in the upper loft. Rest easy knowing that this home is environmentally and green energy conscious with a Geothermal HVAC and LEED Platinum Five Star Plus rating, leaving a significantly lower carbon footprint than the standard rental.

Swift Bear Chalet is situated near the Moonlight entrance, ski accessible, secluded and private, yet conveniently close to all of Big Sky’s year-round attractions and activities – a short drive to the bustling bars, grills, and cafes of Big Sky’s Mountain Village Plaza and a perfect basecamp from which to explore Big Sky Country and Yellowstone National Park.
