Ranch House in the Elkhorn Mountains

The renovated Ranch House is perfect as the gathering place for a romantic retreat, or home base while watching wildlife and exploring the Elkhorns. It is part of a 900 acre working cattle ranch that borders National Forest. We are about 25 minutes outside of Helena, Montana, so we are close to town, but secluded in the mountains. There is access to hiking and biking trails minutes away.

The house has 2 bedrooms with double beds and a fold out sofa bed. It has a fully functioning kitchen and a smaller bathroom. There is also a covered porch to take in the mountain views and a fire pit to enjoy the stars of the Big Sky during the evening. Often during the summer, a herd of elk grazes in the hay field right out the back door.

This 100 year old home has been updated and added to slowly throughout the years and has a lot of history to tell. It is great for people with a sense of adventure and don't mind the classics. Although the house is very clean, some wear and tear from being lived and worked in are inevitable. Come and enjoy real Montana ranch living in a mountain oasis.

The ranch house is also the perfect halfway point for travelers visiting Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks looking to keep an authentic Montana feel.

It is a very charming and unique house.

We loved the atmosphere of the property and how beautiful, scerene, and quiet the landscape was. Our kids got to enjoy seeing both farm and wild animals. The home was unique because of it's age and it was fun to stay in an original homestead. You can see the love and care that has been given to preserve this beautiful old home.

This cabin was adorable. It was a little more attached to the ranch than I expected, however the animals added to the charm. My dog and I enjoyed our relaxing stay.

We had a great weekend...it's very remote but close enough to town to enjoy other activities. Its an old farmhouse with lots of charm and gets cozy with the wood stove. We'll be back again.

We loved this place. It's as cozy as a mountain cabin should be. The extra treat was the piano! My husband played and played. Thank you for that! We'll stay there again when we visit Helena.
