Big Sky.
Big Sky's hotel inventory is still developing — most lodging is condo-rental or the Yellowstone Club (private members-only, excluded). The genuine independent inns are more in Bozeman (the Lark, Element by Westin excluded — Kimpton excluded), and in the small Gallatin Valley towns: the Sacajawea Hotel in Three Forks (1910, restored), the Lark in Bozeman.
