Sunset in Montana

We are not a "dude ranch" where you spend your entire vacation and meals with dozens of other people. This is your time and your refuge.

All-Inclusive Bison and Adventure Programs and Activitiess

Our programs are all-inclusive, from the 3-night weekend package to the 1-week (or longer) vacation package. We offer your group at least one activity daily (more if we can fit them in), but if you’d rather just sit back on your cabin porch surrounded by the bison herd - well, you can do that too! Check out our 6 day / 5 night itinerary (PDF), add to it, change it around, make it for more or less days... you decide! This is your private bison and wildlife adventure vacation.

Interacting with Bison

What our guests say:

Pam and Craig,

I was hoping to actually write out a letter to you to give you a personal thank you for our trip out there much sooner than this. I have to say I haven't been the same person since I came back. The kids are all excited to go back out and stay for a lot longer. It seems it's all they still talk about.

You have made a big impact on my little family for things we have experienced. The views, the people, the life out there, wow! We had a lot of firsts for new experiences out there. As far as the Bison experience went. Oh my! It surpassed anything that I've ever thought. Coming to see you has opened many new doors for my kids, as well as myself, in so many ways. I just wanted the both of you to know that. Your ranch is truly a home away from home.

Thank you so much -you have made an impact on me and my family. We've become much closer, and we shared a great experience with you that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Julie H, New York, USA

A family out on a horseback ride

Mountain Horseback Ride

Your adventure would not be complete without saddling up in Big Sky Country. Riding high up into the mountains, we meander through meadows and under the forest canopy. When everyone is ready to get off and stretch out those saddle kinks, we gather around a bountiful picnic lunch that has come along for the ride.

Ghost town Hot springs

Hot Springs Spa and Ghost Town Trip

Visit the old West, soak in mineral-laden hot springs, have a relaxing massage and see a big slice of some of the most scenic and awe inspiring country in the world. You will know why they call Montana "Big Sky Country".

People around the campfire

Nightly Campfire Cookouts

Campfires, s'mores, nature presentations, or just a time to hang out with your friends. Nothing beats sitting around a campfire next to your tipi, surrounded by a bison herd, serenaded by the coyotes and lulled by the gentle grunts of the bison talking to their calves.

Cliffs along the cruise Cruise view

Gates of the Mountains Cruise

Follow in the exact footsteps of Lewis and Clark on an exciting portion of that marvelous journey.

The interior of the sweat lodge

Sweat Lodge

The sweat lodge ceremony is meant "for all the human beings, Natives and not, and it's of great help in every important moment of life" (Black Elk). The Sweat Lodge helps people to return to their origins, to let go of what has become a burden and to challenge life, and in doing so finding new strength and energy to move towards the future. Indeed, a strong, intimate and deeply touching adventure.

Airport Transfers

Airport or Hotel Transfers and All Program Transportation

A cheerful basket of fresh Montana snacks and cold drinks will be waiting for you when you are picked up at the airport. From the moment you arrive until your visit is over we will take care of the driving and let you enjoy the breathtaking scenery. We provide all transportation during your stay, including pick up and return to Helena or Bozeman airports or hotels. Other Montana cities can be arranged.
