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.

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.

Top notch! Beautifully decorated and comfortable cabins, great restaurant, and the sleigh ride dinner will make memories. We’ve now been three times in our lifetime and it continues to get better and better, but I’m not sure how you can do better than 5 stars EACH AND EVERY TIME! Keep up the great work Team LMR!

If you want to get in some good horse-back riding in a pretty cushy place, this is where to go...excellent fly-fishing nearby, excellent food (huge portions and they know their beef!). Accommodations were excellent and cozy...could use a couple of dressers instead of armoires in the cabin we had (Coyote) and more clothes/towel hooks in bathrooms. Service was outstanding!

A very memorable, thoroughly enjoyable, long weekend with my wife at Lone Mountain. This is my 3rd time in Montana and I've stayed at other 'high end' ranches but I have to say I really loved the authenticity and relaxed vibe of this place. The cabin's were very well appointed (that bath towels were amazing!!) and each one has their own vinyl record player which was a nice touch. The food and drink were excellent with a nice selection of steaks, game meat and fish. Breakfast was a highlight with a very nice buffet with real maply syrup; a la carte options included a breakfast burrito that my wife absolutely loved and was cooked perfectly. The staff is amazingly friendly and nice and everything is just so relaxed. I went fly fishing on the Madison, my wife went hiking, and we both did line dancing one night during a special BBQ night (they had a band that I swore had to be professional as they were so so good!). Really just a great experience and kudo's all around to Lone Mountain!
