Taking a bold cue from our state animal, the living spaces feature authentic ranch accents, like leather chairs, fresh flowers, a stone fireplace and traditional pottery.

This luxury cabin sleeps up to 12 people in six bedrooms, five with an ensuite bathroom, and one with a bathroom just outside the door. Upstairs is the largest suite, with a king bed. In addition, there are two more queen bedrooms. The lower level bedrooms are comprised of a queen and two twin beds/converted king, respectively, each with its own bathroom. In 2023, the garage was converted into a King bed executive suite with ensuite bathroom, including a bathtub and shower. This level also includes a full kitchen, dining room, sunroom, laundry room, wood-burning fireplace, and a nighttime stargazing from the back deck hot tub. Rise and hike to Top of the World on hiking trails that pass right by the house and continue to two of The Ranch’s five peaks.

“We just had the best experience at this wonderful dude ranch in Montana. It is everything we had hoped for and more! The service was wonderful, from the time we were picked up until our return to the airport. The property and accommodations are wonderful and more than comfortable. We loved all the activities that are available daily (it's like a summer camp for grownups). The fly fishing, shooting (pistols, trap, etc), horseback riding, and archery were great fun. But what made them all special were the guides who gave us great instruction and clearly have a passion for what they do! ”
