5 Mountain-West Retreats from Ski-In Luxury to Lake Views

On a quiet cul-de-sac in Donnelly, 87 Clearwater Court offers one of the resort’s most direct ski-in/ski-out positions—an everyday luxury that turns winter into a seamless rhythm of first tracks and easy returns. Inside, the residence is offered fully furnished, allowing the focus to stay on time outdoors and evenings spent unwinding. A private hot tub extends the experience beyond the slopes, creating a simple ritual at day’s end: boots off, steam rising, and the mountain air close at hand. Set at the end of the court, the location brings an added sense of privacy while keeping the resort lifestyle front and center. Seller incentives are offered, and the setting is poised for effortless getaways in every season.

From its elevated setting in Emigrant, this contemporary one-level residence frames Emigrant Peak through a striking wall of windows in the primary suite. Inside, an open kitchen, dining, and living area is unified by a vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace, with acacia hardwood flooring continuing through the main living spaces and bedrooms. Douglas Fir doors add warmth, while both bathrooms are finished with Carrara marble–design tile on floors and shower surrounds. Maple cabinetry and dramatic quartzite counters carry through the kitchen, flex room, and laundry-mud room, creating a cohesive, modern palette. The layout includes a primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a flexible room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, office, or den. Outside, a back deck with Fiberon plank decking offers welcome afternoon shade, and an oversized two-car garage includes a dedicated workspace.

From its elevated setting in Sheridan’s 27-Hole Powder Horn community, this five-bedroom, three-bath home is designed for both easy everyday living and effortless entertaining.

Large windows draw in abundant natural light and frame spectacular mountain views. The primary suite leans into comfort with an oversized walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a relaxing soaker tub. Practical details—an oversized pantry, a spacious laundry room, and over 700 square feet of garage space—keep life organized. Outdoors, a corner lot, beautiful landscaping, and a fenced backyard set the scene for unhurried mornings on the covered front porch or evenings on the back porch, unwinding in the hot tub.

Along the water’s edge in Livingston, this 10-acre property pairs a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with the kind of working-and-playing spaces that suit everyday Montana life.

The land is equally equipped, with a chicken coop, garden, and greenhouse that invite a slower rhythm and a closer relationship to the seasons. For time outdoors, Shields River access is about a mile away, Yellowstone River access is roughly three miles, and BLM access sits just 200 yards from the property. With Livingston approximately 11 miles away, weekends and weekdays find an easy balance.
