Winter is an exceptional time to have an elopement and honeymoon, due to the idyllic wintry landscape, stunning contrasts with wedding colors, lower rates and more availability. Some activities, like downhill skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice skating and cross-country skiing are only available during the winter months – making them a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for you and your guests.

It is a short distance from the Beaverhead-Deer Lodge National Forest and the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Area, as well as Discovery Ski Area. Nestled at the base of the John Long Mountains, our 6,600 acres of ranch land also encompasses four miles of frontage along Rock Creek, a Blue Ribbon designated fishery that flows into the Clark Fork River. To the far south, soft rolling hills give way to snow-capped peaks of the Pintler Mountains. Northward, cottonwood trees stretch along the valley floor following the creek flowing deep into the Sapphire Mountains.
