On the plains just east of the ranch, The Nature Conservancy's private 18,000-acre Pine Butte Swamp Preserve protects lush wetlands, rolling prairies, brilliant wildflowers, and abundant animal life including bears, badgers, coyotes, and many bird species. The nearest town is Choteau, 27 miles west.  The closest airport is in Great Falls.

The Ranch accommodates up to 25 guests in ten rustic, yet comfortable cabins set among the aspens, cottonwoods, and firs that line the South Fork of the Teton River. Built of native stone and wood, each cabin is complete with fireplace, private full bath, and handmade hardwood furniture.

The central lodge with its huge fireplace and homey front porch provides a perfect spot for guests to gather, settle in, and get to know each other. The Natural History Center, a large cozy cabin next to the lodge, houses reading materials, photographic exhibits, maps, fossils, and a small gift selection.

 

Dining

Family-style meals, served in the lodge dining room, feature healthful food presented with simple grace. Each meal is a delicious event emphasizing garden-fresh produce and unrivaled homemade breads, soups, and pastries.
