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.

Peaceful Getaway
Our stay at this cozy ranch house had wonderful views. We were able to walk around the property unobstructed. At dusk and dawn, we were able to see the elk that hang around this area.

Lovely Stay
We were very impressed with the location, close to Helena but far enough away to be a quiet mountain retreat. The cabin was amazing with lots of character. Very happy with our stay.

This was our first time renting a property…and they set a high bar for others to follow! It wasn’t high-end luxury at all…but it was exactly what we needed. Two of our four days we just sat outside and soaked in the quiet and scenery. We watched as the deer came up to the fenced in yard as our dog looked at them curiously. The 1917 ranch house has the characteristics that our grandparents and great-grandparents talked about: thick walls, quaintness, and very family orientated. With no WiFi and limited cell service, it was perfect for us to exit the pressures of today’s lifestyle and detox from our stress. The 4 R Ranch should stand for: Relaxing, Renewal, Refocus and Reconnection.

I am a 3 year old moutain cur. I loved jumping around your farm chasing the birds and bugs. My people parents live in an apartment and i don't get to roam freely too much. I was so excited to see your wonderful farm, I will definitely be bringing my people back again.

Peaceful Stay
This house and property is perfect to unwind and relax. It’s tucked away but not too far out of Helena. We loved have a big yard for our two dogs to roam on. The home was clean, cozy and comfortable. The sunrise and sunsets were beautiful! We will definitely be back next time we’re in Helena! Thank you Patti for an amazing stay!
