Lonesome Dove Ranch

WARNING! DO NOT CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. Unfortunately, the owners of this ranch do not honor their policies, do not honor their bookings, and apparently have no access to their booking system to make changes. We canceled our trip 9 months in advance due to health issues, and the owner Sharron, charged us the full $1200, against their policy. We are currently working with law enforcement both in our home city and Kalispell to remedy the situation, but you should avoid the hassle.

Stayed in one of the Glamping tents. Wanted to stay in a TP, but only twin beds in those the stay was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Offered a wonderful home cooked breakfast in the morning. Would recommend if you were looking for a unique experience in Montana.

This was the highlight of my roadtrip! If you are wanting nature and a warm hearted welcome, this is the place to go! From the first phone call to the end of my 1 night stay (I wish I could have stayed longer), all the team were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was amazing. I arrived at closing time and Sharon, Charlie waffles and a couple of other ladies were there to greet me. They stayed to make sure I knew where to go and took the time to answer all of my questions. I stayed in the Tipi, which was super clean and smelled great. This was similar to camping but with a bed.. which was very comfortable. I had my camping gear so I was able to provide food for myself as it was pass dinner time. The view I had from the picnic table of the tipi village, buffalo and nature with deer walking through and a turkey wandering the grounds filled my heart and soul with gratitude. Wood for a fire and breakfast was included in the price of the stay. Breakfast was very tasty. I walked through the place and greeted the horses (from outside the pen) all animals were happily munching on hay. They are well fed and cared for. The next morning, breakfast was delicious and I was only able to fit in a 1 hour ride. They went out of their way to accommodate this ride. There was a 2 hour ride scheduled for later in the day but they made the one hour ride happen at an earlier time. It was a private ride and I have to say, hands down the best trail ride I have had. Thanks to Brownie; a quick stepping mustang and Alabama (sorry! forget your human name;)) Taylor I think.... He quickly assessed my riding skill, picked an amazing horse for me and adjusted the ride accordingly. So a huge Thank you to this family owned Guest Ranch/Rescue team! I'm already planning my next trip to stay longer. From reading other reviews on here: Keep in mind people this is a working ranch and rescue and if you are expecting a 5 star hotel experience then go to a 5 star hotel. Just a FYI. ;)
