Lone Mountain Ranch

Lone Mountain Ranch sits on 150 acres of big sky wilderness, in the heart of the American Rockies. A stay here is all about getting off the grid and reconnecting with nature through an array of activities — all without compromising on comfort.

The ranch has a small, intimate feel with just 25 log cabins, all perfectly spread out, but well-placed within walking distance of the ranch's main lodge and Horn & Cantle Restaurant. Each cabin has plush beds, log-burning fireplaces and its own outdoor seating area for soaking up the sunshine. There are complimentary bottles of wine, cookies and Montana-grown teas in each cabin. Guests can also enjoy luxurious toiletries, underfloor heating and multiple windows to enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery.

Dining in the Horn & Cantle Restaurant is a highlight of anyone's stay. The ranch's culinary team create daily-changing buffet spreads and the à la carte menu has excellent choices to suit all preferences. The food here is exceptional, and with three meals a day included in your stay, you can dine well.

Activities at the ranch change with the seasons. Summer at the ranch offers lush meadows in abundance, best explored on horseback or mountain bike. Hundreds of lakes surround the ranch, and these can be enjoyed on canoes, paddleboards or lakeside hikes. During the winter months, the ranch is the perfect place to be if you enjoy cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. With thousands of acres of cross-country trails, guests are well-placed to enjoy the wilderness in a winter wonderland setting.
