Not bad for the price

Staff is very friendly. Good hot and cold breakfast options. Restaurant is pricey for dinner but tasty. Shuttle makes it easy to get to the mountain but it only runs every hour and can get quite crowded. I didn't think the hourly schedule was going to be a problem but it can take anywhere from 30-55min to get to the mountain depending on which shuttle you take and it is only a 20 minute drive. Overall, happy with the experience and was worth the price.

Nice traditional lodge

Buck's is a great place for families or friends who prefer a quiet, down-home lodge to a fancy hotel. There is a free shuttle to the Big Sky ski resort, which picks up every hour and takes about 30 minutes. After skiing, the two huge hot tubs (more like small swimming pools really) are the place to be. The guests and staff were very friendly, a true Montana experience. Best of all, a hot breakfast buffet is included with stay. This is a legit breakfast, the type you'd pay $15+ for elsewhere.

This was the perfect place for our family to stay to ski at Big Sky! Hot tub was useful. Breakfast was an awesome way to start out the day. Short drive up the mountain to ski. Rooms were really nice and it was very quiet. Great place to stay!

Surprising value

On arrival we received an upgraded room for free. King with Jacuzzi, free breakfast. Very comfortable, friendly and helpful staff. Only negative was their destination restaurant was closed for dinner until later in the week, as our stay was just before the Big Sky winter season gets going.

Celebrating my 65th

From the time we check in until we left 2 days later, we were treated like family. The Lodge was perfect for drives to Yellowstone. The resturant was exceptional. I had Red Deer, then Duck. Wow! This Lodge is rated 4.5 stars. Should be a 5*. Jamie our server was top notch. Anna, the Bartender was the best. Can't say enough. Kudos.

Loved It!

Great staff, clean rooms, restaurant and bar were good. Location great. We used it as base to visit Yellowstone, river rafting the Gelatin, and flyfishing on the Gelatin as well as sightseeing in the Big Sky area. Restaurant seems a little overpriced for the quality.

Buck's T-4 lodge

It was a great experience staying at the lodge in Big sky. We went into a Yellowstone Natl. Park for 3 days and needed to drive for about 1 hour from the lodge to the park. It was a enjoyable to drive since we could enjoy beautiful national forest on the way to the park. But if you want to focus into the Yellowstone, I recommend you book lodges in the park or in west Yellowstone. For us, it was a last minute deal and we preferred comfortable and better amenities with reasonable rates. So this lodge fit perfectly to our needs. The room was very clean and the cleaning service was great as well, everyday. It also includes a breakfast which was fine. (Enough to save energy for us to explore the park) I recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to Yellowstone and wants to have a good rest.

Buck's T-4 Lodge...Wonderful!

The hotel is next to rt 191 so you didn't have to drive around looking for it. It has a wonderful western decor and the grounds are immaculate. The rooms are large and comfortable. We had dinner at their restaurant and it was very good. Then enjoyed the breakfast off the patio next morning. This is a very scenic area and we enjoyed it very much.
