lone mountain ranch

Sleight ride dinner! So much fun, the horses, the food, the singing. It was one of the best evenings.

We were here as a group of very mixed skiiers - some young kids who had barely been on skiis, and some hard-core skiiers that put in over 12 miles a day! This place was wonderful for all of us. Also rented equipment for some. Good equipment, reasonable prices, and good service. I do think that the trail pass is a bit pricey, but I understand that it takes a lot to keep up all those trails.

Big Sky fine dining is a bit behind in sophistication; this is one of the better places. The staff is friendly, and the food is good. Serious restaurant aficionados may find it a bit rustic, but the surroundings comfortable and pleasant enough. About a 10 min drive if you're staying at Big Sky Resort.

We went on the sleigh ride dinner in February. The ride out was beautiful, and our driver was great. Once you reach the cabin, the chef and staff were both friendly and superb. Dinner consisted of a soup, family style dinner with prime rib, and dessert. All of our dishes were delicious, with the dessert being particularly wonderful. The musical entertainment was the perfect fit. Would definitely recommend.The only thing I would advise is to dress warm, as it will likely be very cold. There are blankets on the sleighs and a wood-burning stove in the cabin, but dressing in layers would be wise.

The sleigh ride was magical. The horse drawn sleighs pulled us through the trees on a crisp clear starry night. The meal was very good and the entertainment made the evening a real "cowboy" experience.

Went up to Lone Mountain Ranch for the Sleigh Ride dinner and found it to be very enjoyable. First off, the value of a free shuttle from your lodging cannot be underestimated--what a great start to the night and makes the trip worry free. Try to get there a little early and enjoy a drink in their beautiful lodge. They serve some wonderful wines up there. The wine for sale was a little on the expensive side, so I would highly recommend bringing your own bottle if possible. The food and entertainment was very enjoyable and the ride itself up to the cabin was beautiful. Great for couples and a must-do in Big Sky.

Rustic cabins with all the amenities , gourmet food, and great Nordic skiing. Yellowstone trips and ski instruction optional.

The sleigh ride with dinner is offered most nights in the winter at Lone Mountain Ranch. We had a fun experience, all bundled up under blankets on the sleigh as we made our way through the woods. The dinner was delicious and served family style. Wonderful service, amazing horses, and happy people! Beautiful way to end 2014.

What a fabulous way to spend New Year's Eve. The ranch provided free shuttle service from our hotel, which was great. Check in went smoothly, and we were able to purchase wine to bring to dinner, as well as get free hot cider for the ride up. We had a cold but clear and brightly moonlit ride for about 20 minutes from the lodge to the cabin in a sleigh that seated about 12 pulled by the most gorgeous horses. Beautiful snow covered trees and a sky full of stars made it magical. At the cabin, our assigned seats were cozy and the prime rib dinner, complete with soup, vegetables, potatoes and huckleberry cheesecake was superb. Our entertainer, Bruce, sang some touching original country songs, with plenty of time for conversation in between sets. Hosts, drivers, and everyone could not have been nicer. After the ride back down, we were able to take photos with the horses and then were treated to a fireworks show on the front lawn of the lodge. Great evening all around enjoyed by kids and adults. Book early!!

We enjoyed the ranch via the extensive Nordic ski trails after our lesson with Andrea. She was an excellent instructor and was especially patient with my young daughter who was successful with some of the skills but struggled with stopping. She also demonstrated local wildlife and eco knowledge which made the trails more fun. Tons of trails that we only briefly explored one day - beautifully groomed. We also took a snow coach trip to Yellowstone on a different dayv- Leslie was our guide. She has a wealth of knowledge and was an entertaining guide - so professional. We spent the entire day with Leslie's expert guidance snow shoeing the Geyser Basin. We weren't staying at the ranch but they treated us like their guests and took excellent care of us - right down to the thoughtful lunches and snacks. We had lunch in the dining room one day as a break from skiing and found it to be lovely, delicious and proud of their local offerings...I had the Reuben with Montana beef pastrami, my daughter had the Gyro with Montana lamb. Highly recommend the LMR and will likely return with anticipation.

Rented CC ski equipment & had a lesson one day & next day rented snow shoes and had a guided tour. All the staff were very helpful and even switched out equipment to make sure I had what would work best for me. Martha was the cc ski instructor the 1st day & we requested her to be tour guide for the snow shoeing & she was EXCELLENT at both.

We love that you were able to join us for some "peace and quiet" this past September. Fall is one of the most incredible times at the ranch, and staying in the Blackbear/ Cougar cabin was a great choice. Being able to disconnect from the busy world is important for all of us, and we are so happy that we could share this place with you. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Horseback riding in Yellowstone is a favorite for many visitors to our ranch. We are grateful to have the ability to offer this experience to our guests, so they can see the less traveled side of the Park. Thank you for sharing this experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your Lone Mountain experience with us. There is a lot to do here in Montana, and you certainly took advantage of the many activities available. We really appreciate your recognizing of our employees, as they are the most important asset to our ranch. We feel very fortunate to have all of them! We hope to see you all back at the ranch again next summer, so you can have another well deserved relaxing vacation!

It sounds like you had a great experience in Yellowstone! We believe that everyone should get the full experience when making the trip to America's first National Park. Thank you for sharing this. We would love to have you and your family stay with us at the ranch next summer!
