WELCOME

Be Our Guest in All Seasons

320 Guest Ranch honors its rich history and celebrates Montana’s pioneer spirit. The Gallatin runs through our property. U.S. 191 runs past the gate, with Big Sky to the north and the west entrance of Yellowstone to the south. Few guest ranches near Yellowstone sit this close to both.

Our ranch is hundreds of acres that people have lived and worked on since 1898. We honor that rich history through lodging, food, and activities, and by welcoming every guest with a neighborly "Howdy folks, come on in!"

Summers

Summer at our Montana ranch starts at the river, and the trout are in it. After breakfast, head out with our wranglers on a horseback ride, wade into the river, learn the basics of fly-casting with our instructors, or drive into Yellowstone, and still be back for dinner.

Winters

When the snow begins to fall, a whole new world of adventure awaits. Big Sky's ski lifts are just up the road. Try your hand at ice fishing with local partners. Back here, the pasture goes white and stays quiet, and a team of draft horses pulls a sleigh across the once-green, riverside pasture. Come back cold and find the saloon open.

LODGING

A Home Away from Home

These are not your ordinary hotel rooms. Our Montana cabin rentals run along the river, the mountains, or the pasture, and vary from small, single bedrooms to full, and every one has log walls and windows big enough to see the country from a warm bed.

Luxury Log Homes

Seven homes at the base of the mountains, a short walk from McGill’s. There’s room for a whole family to go quiet after a long day outside.

Riverfront Log Cabins

100 yards from the Gallatin River. Open the shades on the big windows in your Montana cabin, and you get the stars and the sound of the river.

Words from the people who’ve stayed here

“Five days at 320 Ranch reset something deep in us. The silence alone is worth the journey – but then you add the fishing, the food, the kindness of the staff.”

The Harrison Family
Portland, Oregon
“We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect wedding venue than 320 Guest Ranch! It is truly the most stunning location, and everything was even more beautiful than we could have hoped for. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the ranch and they loved being able explore the gorgeous grounds and enjoy all the activities the ranch had to offer. It made our wedding feel like a full weekend experience that we’ll all cherish forever.”
Jessica and Ryan
“We really enjoyed our stay at 320 Guest Ranch. The location is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and amazing scenery. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy Montana’s natural beauty. We would definitely stay here again!”
Dzenan Carkovic
“You can’t beat the views! The location is spectacular, being 30 minutes to Big Sky town center and 40 minutes to the West Yellowstone Entrance. We have a very quiet and enjoyable experience over a short 3 night stay. We visited in mid September which is end of season for a lot of local activities (rodeos, rafting, horseback rides, etc) so be sure to call around if that’s on your list. Lots of local trail heads to hike. The ranch offers its own horseback riding and fly fishing lessons. We signed up for fly fishing lessons at the ranch with Andy and he was great! Knowledgeable, great sense of humor and accommodating to our needs! Everyone welcomed us in and were very polite. We would definitely stay here again!”
Tammie Cansler
“We had a two night stay at 320 and absolutely loved it. The staff, accommodation, restaurant all were first class. We did the horse riding and beginners fly fishing and the activities team for both were brilliant. Couldn’t fault the place, only regret in hindsight is not trying to squeeze in an extra night on our trip”
Leon Newth
