Here you will find the opportunity to ride, fish or mountain bike in the sparkling Montana air. Horses are ranch horses and are chosen for you by your level of ability. We have 'tried and true' for the beginners and 'good, fast' cow horses for the more advanced. There are new riding opportunities every day as well as team penning and cattle work once or twice a week. And no head-to-tail riding!!
Rides are varied for any ability, and half-day rides take place every day. One all-day ride takes you to the Indian pictographs. Sweet-smelling cedar log cabins, and the best home-cooking for miles around, entice today’s visitors to this beautiful part of Big Sky country.
This family-operated ranch runs 1,300 head of cattle on 25,000 acres, and good riders are invited to join in and lend a cow-hand once or twice a week - the work is always there, but so is the fun!

Accommodations  are the finest, with lodge and privately-spaced cabins (with a scenic view) crafted of sweet-smelling cedar logs, a variety of authentic western or antique appointments, plus the best home cooking this side of the Crazies! Your appetite may surprise you (it's the sparkling Montana air) and the meals served family-style in the lodge are prepared to satisfy and please-from hearty country breakfasts and fresh bread daily to sizzling steaks off the grill...and snacks in between.
