"Seclusion in a canyon and 6,600 acres of Montana wilderness make this 19th-century homestead turned all-inclusive retreat feel like off-the-grid living made easy, offering more than 35 guided activities—from horseback riding and fly fishing in summer to cross-country skiing and sleigh rides in winter. You might mountain bike past wild bighorn sheep or sharpen your archery skills by day, then unwind at The Silver Dollar Saloon, complete with billiards, a bowling alley, and saddle-stool bar seats. Accommodations span the original homestead barn and luxury log cabins to glamping in wood-and-canvas tents outfitted with lavish amenities like a standalone bathtub, and evenings often end with a meal at Buckle Barn where live music and line dancing ensue." - Nicole Kliest

"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.

"An all-inclusive western Montana ranch resort where kids can pan for sapphires, develop naturalist skills, and learn about ranch life (animals included), while adults can try clay shooting or rimfire-range target practice — a family-oriented, activity-rich ranch immersion." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.

"A sprawling guest ranch in Montana that blends Western adventure and luxury across a 10-square-mile property, with an enormous variety of included activities—fly fishing, mountain biking, photography classes, sapphire mining, horse-roping lessons—and a kids club that runs nature- and treasure-oriented excursions. Shared social spaces (a western-style bar with bowling, table tennis and karaoke) plus extensive winter programming (downhill and cross-country skiing, sledding, ice skating, hockey and snowmobiling) make it a year-round destination for tweens seeking autonomy and hands-on challenges." - Travel + Leisure Editors
