"Set across 6,600 acres in a western Montana valley, this all‑inclusive 19th‑century homestead offers large-family accommodations such as the Moose House log cabin (sleeps up to 11) and neighboring Red Tail and Golden Eagle houses that each hold up to 10 people, plus more private lodging options. Guests can tailor activity levels from horseback riding and snowmobiling to frontier-skill classes, sapphire mining, and guided naturalist programming; a dedicated kids program (Flint’s Forest Rangers) serves 4–12 year olds, making it easy for adults to enjoy independent pursuits." - Kathryn Romeyn
"This Relais & Châteaux property occupies 6,000 acres at the base of the John Long Mountains and curates an extensive roster of outdoor and ranch‑life activities that can fill multiple vacations: Flint’s Forest Rangers Kids Club (ages 4–12) focuses on pond and creek exploration and outdoor skills, while adults and older kids can tackle a ropes course, pan for sapphires, join guided photography workshops, or lace up snowshoes in winter. While many experiences are covered by the all‑inclusive rate, a small number (spa treatments, float trips) carry additional fees, and there is no in‑room dining. The Remington Room in Granite Lodge is ADA‑compliant; all‑inclusive winter rates start around $2,300 and rise seasonally." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
