The Ranch is situated on 6,600 acres in Montana’s Gold Country which includes a blue-ribbon trout stream for fly fishing enthusiasts.

This all-inclusive adventurer’s paradise affords a range of outdoor experiences:snowmobiling, shooting, horseback riding, skiing, ice skating and snowboarding, as well gourmet meals, wine and liquor.Each activity included our own private guide and was exclusive to our party. At times it felt like we had the entire property to ourselves.

One highlight of our stay was our accommodations at the Cattail Cabin. Our lodging included twin master suites, a living room with an enormous stone fireplace, and early morning baskets of freshly baked muffins and coffee were dropped at our doorstep each day.

The Silver Dollar Saloon is the evening entertainment spot, fusing a stereotypical cowboy saloon with modern luxury. With saddles for barstools, a private bowling alley, a movie theater, and pool tables, there were no dull moments during our time at The Ranch.

Saying good-bye was hard to do. However, it was a bit easier to leave when we booked another trip for next year.
