Intersected by a meandering alpine creek, Lone Mountain Ranch is nestled in a valley backing up onto mountain ranges just 18 miles from Yellowstone National Park. The property dates back about a century and has been a rough-luxe family dude ranch for than more 30 years. The working ranch offers all-inclusive escapes from the everyday grind brimming with an array of exhilarating outdoor activities. The freestanding cabins, many of them original 100-year-old structures, are strewn across the beautifully upkept grounds. Accommodations are warmly appointed with authentic country Western style furnishings, featherbeds and down-home patchwork quilts. Each of the individually designed lodges has a private entrance and features a small sitting area, cozy wood or gas burning fireplace, electric heat and a private in-cabin bathroom with a tub and shower combination.

Perfection! Lone Mountain Ranch was everything we hoped it would be - and more! No detail is missed in providing a special and unforgettable stay - from the morning coffee deliveries and sweet notes, to the evening specialty chocolates and treats - they think of everything! We renewed our vows for our 10th anniversary and Tammy worked hard to make sure everything was perfect! The Horn and Cantle, Saloon, and Auric Room are first class and provide not only amazing food, but top notch customer service! The employees of every part of the ranch love working there and it really shows! Beautiful cabins, great food, friendly people, horses, elk, and stunning nature all around! Perfection! We will most definitely be back - a piece of my heart lives there now ❤️

Great time visiting LM. Food, dining, staff and accommodations were superb. Would rate them all a 5 star. So why an overall 3 star rating you ask. The gist of my trip was to XC-ski to my heart's content. With over 50+ miles of groomed trails this was the place to be. Trails were well groomed though there was one spot where a sizable log was hanging over the tracked part of the trail - one would have to be 3 ft or less to get under it! Now to why the low rating- signage, signage, signage!!! I printed out a map ahead of time to get an idea of where I wanted to ski. Upon adventuring I found the trails to be poorly marked. Names of trails are of no use when the names don't match the map. There are very few intersections with numbers posted even though numbers are on the map. In one instace the sigh showed Beaver Slide to the right yet the map showed to the left! There is an app you can download that will show where you are on the trails. I am there to ski - not to have to pull out my phone to see where I am. No fun having to take off gloves in -23 degree and check an app. It was also mentioned about QR codes coming - same issue - I don't want to have to be using my phone! There should be trail maps available at the Outpost. There should be trail maps at the intersections showing "you are here" or at the very least have numbers that correspond with the map numbers. I was told better signage is coming - hopefully these are some ideas you will consider when doing so

This is our third time coming out to Lone Mountain Ranch with my family. Everyone had a great time and loved everything about the Ranch. Cabin was great, and the food and Horn and Cantle was amazing. They used to give out welcome baskets which had carrots to feed the horses. For some reason they do not offer them anymore which my kids were a bit disappointed about. Other than that the trip was fantastic

A overall wonderful experience! We stayed in the Bald Eagle cabin for 3 nights in January on the ranch, and it was like staying in a winter wonderland. This place is magical. The staff were excellent and first class all the way. They had great accommodations, blending modern conveniences with rustic Montana vibes. We really enjoyed not having a tv in our cabin, but a record player instead. We took advantage of the included Nordic skiing, snow shoes, and carrots to feed the horses and goats. They also have a new Cigar Cabin that was great. We did the Sleigh Ride dinner one evening and it was also extremely magical. The price was well worth it. I think bringing kids 10 and up would do well at this dinner, but kids younger than that would be challenging. Overall we can’t recommend this place enough!

Our family had never visited Montana (and I will admit that we had watched too much Yellowstone which was our motivating factor for visiting Montana) and we conducted significant research before we selected Lone Mountain Ranch. I highly recommend that you consider Lone Mountain Ranch for your stay. We had a party of seven and we stayed at the B-K cabin. Before arrival, we were concerned that the pictures were not align to the "aesthetics" of the cabin. Thankfully, we were wrong and the cabin was AMAZING. It was spacious to accommodate all of us including bathrooms and we enjoyed several nights of games during our visit. Additionally, we loved using the fireplace, we CONSTANTLY had a fire blazing, and we appreciate concierge taking our requests for more wood and getting us tools. If you love food like our family does and love new food adventures, your family will love the saloon/restaurant too. In particular, we loved the morning staff (who was the same staff every morning) because the staff was very personable and welcoming (thank you). Again, the food was amazing (breakfast, lunch, and dinner and they will accommodate all food allergies and accommodate all of your needs) and we experienced all the specials (Lone Mountain Ranch, thank you for your creative and talented culinary staff). Also, the sleigh ride dinner was an amazing experience which I will not spoil for anyone but I doubt that this curated experience can be duplicated in my opinion. Lastly, I recommend that you experience all that the ranch has to offer - nordic skiing guided tour and snow shoe guided tour on the ranch. Concierge also assisted with other activities and I am appreciative of their services. My main goal was to relax and not stress about anything for a week and the Lone Mountain Ranch concierge exceeded my expectations and it was nice to enjoy a vacation where customer service was the number priority (instead of just talk). Sincerely, Lone Mountain Ranch, thank you for our number 1 vacation to date (and we have had international experiences too). I have a bucket list of other vacations to take but I may consider another trip to Lone Mountain Ranch.
