The actual stay was awesome, food, dinner, and comforts were up to expectation and on brand with my previous experiences here. However, I booked a two night stay through hotels.com, and was informed after I checked in that I would have to check out the next morning because they were closing. Due to the price of finding another place to stay on the same day, I just cut my ski trip short and went home. I have yet to be reimbursed for the night I was unable to stay, despite talking to two people at LMR and one person at hotels.com customer service. And now

Lone Mountain Ranch is a one of a kind montana experience. It’s quiet, peaceful western ranch vibe is just what is needed for an ideal vacation. The staff is welcoming and kind. Even if you’re not staying at LMR, the horn and cattle is a gem of a restaurant.

This is the ultimate Montana experience! There is a fancy restaurant on site, but the sleigh ride dinner is the highlight. Tons of activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing etc. on the property. Excellent hospitality (morning coffee delivered to your cabin, luggage service).

A True Winter Wonderland
The Ranch is beautiful. It was not clear where to check in, but once you entered the Outpost building, everything was there. VERY cordial staff in a beautiful surrounding. The cabins are incredible, complete with a woodturning fireplace or stove. There was a welcome basket in our room complete with a bag of carrots to feed the horses! Dinner at the Horn and Cantle was incredible and do not miss the Sleigh Ride dinner. What a magical place!

We were made to feel by all the staff that every other guest on the property was more important than us. We were celebrating a very special occasion, but we were treated as if we were a nuisance. From check-in, where the receptionist was visibly annoyed that she needed to assist us, to being ignored by the hostess as the restaurant where we had a dinner reservation, we were made to feel like chopped liver. It was awful. There were many other mishaps in terms of the service we received that I would be happy to discuss with the property manager, because I know that they would not want their guests to feel unwelcome as we were. On a positive note, our cabin was wonderful, we loved the coffee delivery, and the property beautiful.

OK stay, not safe practices during a pandemic.
The property was great, the area was amazing, the horse ride was so beautiful and the staff were all super nice. That said, the room was surface clean, all surfaces were clean, but I had a hard time breathing in there, the spaces under the beds had such a thick layer of dust the wood was barely visible. It was no wonder we had a hard time breathing in there. We ended up sweeping the room and spraying it down ourselves. Honestly, we lived with it, but if you have severe asthma, probably not the best place to stay. The place was really a nice place to stay, but not a single staff member had a mask on, which meant zero guests had masks on, and there was no distancing at all. They supplied masks, and had made changes like no turn down service, but there was zero safe distancing practices from staff and zero mask wearing so it totally defeats the purpose. It was really concerning that they would put guests and staff members at risk like that. We wanted a break from COVID lockdown but it wasn’t a relaxing experience because we were told they had taken measures to “be safe” before we went there, but in reality it was the most unsafe we’ve felt in months of lockdown. We ended up pretty much locking ourselves in the cabin outside of some distanced activities outside. If a safe getaway during the pandemic is what you’re looking for, this isn’t it. That said, it was a nice resort, with great staff, and a great property. But overall, the experience landed us at an “OK.”

Beautiful setting. Our cabin to have a stream running right by it. Wonderful variety at breakfast. Staying for six days, we never got tired of the breakfast. The staff is mixed. This resort hires college students on summer break. Their enthusiasm is delightful, their technique’s not perfect, but they are all great kids and try hard. The seasoned workers are more professional. We were at this resort on the bed and breakfast plan and did not avail ourselves of any activities.

Simple Rustic Luxury
Came out to Montana to look at property. We chose LMR because we didn’t want to do the usual condo rental. It was a good choice. The service is great - zero complaints, great friendly people. The best part of the LMR is that it felt like we were alone. We rarely saw other guests. It felt like we’d rented the entire place. The cabins are more than adequate. There’s no TV ( bravo!) but there is WiFi , a wood burning stove, super comfortable bedding, a couch, Coffee/tea, great bathroom. Super nice cabin. In short it’s very quiet and it was nice to be away - really away. Restaurant is convenient- Always open with coffee/tea available. Food is really good - several choices that were tasty at best. Breakfast is a nice touch before heading out. Local coffee. We went for a snowshoe walk ( we “ snowshoed” I guess). Lotta trails and really scenic ones at that. There is $15 cost for a pass plus the snowshoe rental - fair enough. Rental shop is great , as are the people there. Apprentice this is the place for XC skiing. It’s not my thing but there are loads of trails that extend into public lands. Stunning scenery abounds in the entire area. Ranch is 5 miles or so from the Big Sky Resort ( also uncrowded ). Easy drive even in snow. We also drove over into the Northern aspects of Yellowstone - about 30 minutes. The area, BS generally , has NO chain or franchise businesses. Fantastic ! We used local restaurants , grocery stores and other merchants!

Cozy cabin in pristine setting
My daughter and I chose Lone Mountain Ranch for a long weekend getaway because we both wanted to learn to cross country ski. We stayed in Bitterroot cabin and found it quite comfortable; we even spent one morning just enjoying the fire in the wood stove and watching a movie on our computer. I appreciated all the sets of hooks for drying wet clothes and the stove was great for warming our boots and gloves. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was updated and modern with a great rain shower and extra nozzle which felt good after a long day of skiing. the staff at Lone Mountain are all top notch from the moment we were picked up at the airport until we were dropped off for our flight home. Martha, our ski instructor, was excellent, and we both learned to ski after taking one lesson and practicing on the beginner trails at Lone Mountain. The bartenders in the saloon are all extremely pleasant and helpful. Food and drinks were all amazing. I would love to return to the ranch someday for more skiing or just a relaxing weekend in a lovely setting.

Sick slicker meets the ranch!
Ok, this will be an interesting review! First off I have to say that the staff here has to be the nicest people I've meet at any resort or hotel. The willingness to accomodate are that of the finest luxury brand hotels, the service was great! That being said I had to take myself out of my bubble of luxury stays and fine hotels and make it like an adventure as if we were camping (which I've never gone camping in my life until now) When I booked this I had no idea of it was getting, so the first night I was rather annoyed at the parlking, as it was a longs ways to the cabin and it was 40 degrees so the snow was melting and it was a muddy walk. Then I found that there is no TV in the room, I quickly I set up my lap top and was streaming the networks! I was quick to remind my two young boys that this is an adventure in camping and we need to make it fun! It took me a day to change my attitude and I decided when in roam do as the romans then the place really grew on me. At nights we made a fire and watched tv on my large lap top, our days we spent skiing so we made the nights cozy! The menu at the main restaurant I would put up against of the best restaurants in any major city, the food was amazing! The small quaint saloon makes for a great place to grab a drink, Kyle the bartender was fantastic! I was told that about half of the cabins have been renovated, mine was not but at the same time it made it rustic and authentic Montana! It ended up a being a great stay!
Hi Patrick! Thank you for your kind feedback, we strive for excellence here at the ranch. Thanks for mentioning Kyle in the Saloon, we hope to welcome you back in the future!

BEWARE OF HIDDEN CHARGES
The setting of this ranch is lovely: nestled into the woods with pretty log cabins surrounded by pine trees. It is conveniently located near to Big Sky ski resort. This must have been a wonderful dude ranch to visit when it was still privately held and a historic family business. I was under the impression that it was still privately owned when I first arrived. But the corporate greed which governs the management of this establishment soon revealed itself. The food in the dining room was expensive and poor quality. The breakfasts were repetitive and unimaginative (it should not be a problem to make custom/bespoke omelettes or eggs when you only have 4 guests) consisting of the same cold scrambled eggs served each day. I was traveling with my 12 year old daughter who doesn't eat much to begin with. One evening we decided to have two appetizers but wanted to split an entree....I was surprised to see a $5 split charge added to the tab. It was a rather ungracious gesture on a night when there were only 3 people in the restaurant. After a four night stay, as I was checking out, the girl at the front desk handed me an extra bill for a $150 resort fee. This was never mentioned when I was checking in and I was not aware of it until that point. When I protested she back peddled on the fee and removed it from my invoice, for which I was thankful, but the argument spoiled my mood whilst on holiday and left me with a bad taste for the place.
