Our Montana guest ranch has 10 historic log guest cabins, accommodating approximately 20 total guests. Each cabin has a slightly different unique character, with 5 two bedroom, one bath cabins; and 5 one bedroom, one bath cabins. The cabins retain much of their original 1920’s character, but comfortable beds and bedding allow you to rest up each evening for the next full day of mountain enjoyment.
