Mountain Sky Guest Ranch

We traveled to the ranch with 4 couples for the all-adults Fall Adventure week and had a blast. Everything, from the facilities to the food to the service and activities was top- notch. Can't say enough good things about the management (Josh & Dillon), Office Staff (Sam and Alexis), Wranglers (Dustin, Ella, Emily, MaryRose & Garrett) and servers (Malia and Hannah) that took such good care of us during our stay and went above and beyond to make the week truly special. We participated in so many fun and well-managed activities like horseback riding, archery, clay shooting, fly fishing and (my personal favorite) the beautiful spa. The therapists (Victor & Anya) were incredibly knowledgeable. This is a must-do while on property. The ranch is well-located, in close proximity to both Bozeman and Yellowstone, and the facility and grounds are the absolute perfect mix of rustic and comfortable luxury. Golf being included was a plus & the course is breathtaking. Highly recommend Mountain Sky if you are looking for a high-end ranch experience that is top of the line!

What an incredible experience for a first family experience! Staff was top notch. Food was amazing. Who knew a city boy would love the outdoors so much! Great memories!

After two challenging years visiting Mountain Sky, the ranch is back to delivering the kind of experience we'd been accustomed to enjoying for many previous years. The riding is still superb, the setting spectacular, and the complex series of rides offered with meals runs smoothly. There are a few kinks: lunches are odd combinations of food, the baking is uneven (you can tell when Pam is doing her great baking,) and the service is leisurely and untrained. The yoga class needs to be more challenging - guests kept falling asleep - and one day no teacher appeared for 7am yoga.||However, real strides have been made and the quality of the food overall is impressive, especially at dinner. The cabins are immaculate and luggage gets moved instantly; Alexa at the front desk is great. Overall, we had a great time and will be back next year!

Wonderful and hospitable staff! Breathtaking experience! I feel very fortunate to have been able to experience this wonderful place!

It doesn't get much better than Mountain Sky's location, resources, facilities and hospitality, but what truly sets this place apart is the staff. Alexa is an unbelieveable host and her ability to treat you as the only guest on the ranch is truly unique, she remembers conversations and emails months prior and works tirelessly to ensure that your experience is second to none. Pete is another wonderful employee who earnestly wants to deliver on your every expectation, anticipating your needs and delviering on a very high level. We have visited Mountain Sky 3x over the last decade and what keeps us coming back is their ability to evolve with the times, but to not lose the rustic charm and simplicity of mountain life. We consider ourselves very fortunate that the Mountain Sky team has opened up to us over the years, and if you have the opportunity to join them, you'll understand what I mean.

We just came back from a week's stay at the Mountain Sky Ranch and it was a truly unforgettable experience for the entire family! This was our first stay at Mountain Sky and our group consisted of 3 generations of our family ranging in age from 7 to 75.||||The ranch is situated in a beautiful mountain setting with breathtaking views in every direction and offers a wide variety of activities for every age group. The riding program is world class and offers many different riding options for riders of all skill levels. Our group consisted of 5 new riders that were riding for the first time and we enjoyed two meals rides (lunch and dinner) and a morning ride. The wranglers we rode with did an excellent job of teaching us the basics of riding and making us feel comfortable during the learning process. The rides we were able to experience will not be soon forgotten and as a father there are not many prouder moments than seeing your 11 year old son decked out in cowboy boots and a hat, grinning ear to ear while living out one of his childhood dreams on the back of a horse in the mountains of Montana!||||Another highlight of the trip was the Rising Sun Golf Course. This course is world class and is as private as golf gets, our group played it twice during our stay and both times we were literally the only group on the entire course. It is 5 Star all the way and if you are a golfer, it is not to be missed!||||The spa and wellness center at Mountain Sky are top notch! We enjoyed several massages and our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the heated swimming pool and large hot tub and our kids loved the milk shakes and popcorn that are served daily in the pool area. We found the food served at the ranch to be excellent and especially enjoyed the BBQ served at the dinner ride and the Friday night seafood buffet.||||Last but certainly not least I wanted to comment on the staff. The staff at Mountain Sky makes you truly feel at home and part of a big family! They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome and are the key to the whole experience, we genuinely thank you for all that you did during our stay to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Every day was the best day ever! We traveled as a group (2 couples) during spring Wild West Adventures/adult only package. We started the day with 7am yoga at the most beautiful yoga studio overlooking the trees/mountains/ranch. The floors are gently heated and the ambiance is unequaled. The equipment and props are clean and plentiful. Sophia is topnotch and prepares you for the day of riding, hiking, or golf. She is precious, gives excellent cues and guidance, and reads the room like a pro. Our spouses are new/novice yogis and they loved morning yoga too.||Morning rides with the experienced wranglers exceeded all expectations. Our ride to the horse pastures with Caleb was one of the most magical mornings with indescribable vistas. Don't miss the ride from the upper to lower ranch! Cowboy Jack and Wrangler Kassidy-highly recommend. And A+/5 stars to Ben who gave us great technical pointers on our last ride of the week. Shout out to Nutmeg and Melman - our horses for the week! Thanks Julie, head wrangler for providing an excellent experience and remembering our names! ||In the afternoons, we soaked up the vistas from the golf course. We hesitate to share because we don't want to let this secret out! Matt gave us great pointers at the driving range and we hope he will be back in 2023! We appreciate the ease of playing golf at Mountain Sky as the clubs and cart are provided and we could play at a leisurely pace since we had the back 9 to ourselves. Don't miss the view from the 15th tee box!||4:30pm restorative yoga with Silas was a welcomed reprieve and I've never felt so relaxed! ||The wellness/spa facility is beautiful and we love the relaxation room. Highly recommend Sophia and Abbi for massage. ||Don't miss the outdoor hot tub that overlooks the mountains!||Mountain Sky makes this vacation hassle-free with access to laundry, bountiful food, cozy robes, walkable upper ranch, shuttles to lower ranch, variety of activities, and cash free/wallet free experience. The shuttle to and from Bozeman added to the ease of travel. ||The GF pastries and coffee cake were delicious! We hope next year the vegetarian/GF options are more creative for supper. ||Remember to pack layers, a vest, sunglasses, sunscreen, cowboy hat and boots, slippers for mornings/evenings in the cabin, swim suit, and hiking shoes. Leave your laptop at home! We enjoyed the technology disconnect. ||Prepare for days full of activity, relaxation, beauty, mountain air and vistas, and friendly staff! ||We would love to extend our visit by a day with check in on Memorial Day. We need one more day on the ranch...and especially for the guests who travel from the east coast, an additional day is welcomed! ||Thank you Erin, Julie, Katie, Dylan, and all the staff for an A+ experience! We look forward to returning in 2023!

My expectations were really high based on how expensive this place is. My 10yr old boy and I went and we had the time of our lives. There is so much to do and very easy to meet other people which made it very fun for my son. The staff was amazing, food was good and the amenities were top notch. We are going back next year if that tells you anything. Don't worry about the cost. You will forget about how much you spent but you won't forget the memories! This place definitely exceeded my already high expectations.

Mountain Sky has been our dream vacation for the last two fall seasons and we've rebooked for 2017 already. My wife and I just wrapped up our second stay with them for an adults only 5 night stay. The ranch is truly like nothing else we've experienced. At the beginning of your stay the head wrangler catches up with you and pairs you with 1 of their 130 horses that are wonderfully trained and cared for on site. The food is one of the major highlights for me and you will enjoy plated 3-4 course dinners each night, with several entrees to choose from at each meal. The cabins and amenities are great, but what really makes your stay special is the people, both the staff and guests, that you spend the week with. I can honestly say it is the best customer service experience I have had to-date, and that doesn't do it justice, because you leave there feeling like family. Things to consider: 1. The Guest Ranch appears pricey to some and we definitely agree that it's a considerable amount of money to spend on a 5 night vacation. That said, we left both years satisfied and without any regrets. 2. We have only visited in late September and early October near the end of their season. Both stays had at least 1 day of rainy weather. You can ride horse and do most activities even with rain, or just read and drink coffee next the a roaring fire, but weather and timing of the visit may be something to consider. 3. Alcohol is not included but the bar is very generous and has a great wine list. That said, we've brought special bottles of wine to the ranch to enjoy with dinner, without issues.

Incredible location, accommodations, horses and staff - not cheap, but worth every penny.

This was one of the best trips I had ever been on! The kids got to do what ever they wanted and we had everything at our fingertips! It is good for all ages and the food was amazing! I would recommend this for couples and families! The massages were amazing the yoga was incredible and the horse back riding was great! The food was kinda terrible though and it was extremely over priced.

Unbelievably beautiful and the highest quality accommodations, food, and services. Also unbelievably priicey, and too many of the guests are right-wing Republicans. Ignore them, ignore the prices, and have a great time. Owned by Arthur M. Blank, co-founder of Home Depot. The corral staff is remarkable with first-time riders as well as with superb riders.
