The owners and staff at Bear Creek made us feel welcomed. The cabins are small yet comfortable. We started each morning with a delicious home cooked breakfast. Free to walk around and talk with the horses, dogs , and cat. This family treated us as family. A wonderful trip to the area. Bear Creek made it great!!

This was the most perfect place to stay for the Montana/GNP experience we were looking for. Great hospitality and a wonderful location between East and West entrances to the park. 10/10! We will be back!

We stayed at Bear Creek Guest Ranch for 4 nights and it was perfect. Dusty, Bill, and family are so kind and make you feel like you are just a part of the ranch. Homemade breakfast in their cabin with the other guests was amazing and a great way to get to know other guests. It is right in the middle of the west and east glacier entrances (about hour from each) and was a great central location. The cabin was clean, cute, comfortable and so unique. I highly recommend them!

The staff at Bear Creek Ranch were so friendly and helpful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ranch. The horseback ride was so beautiful and the horses were a joy to ride. Bill provided excellent instruction and guidance. The breakfasts were delicious and there was enough for seconds! We felt that we were really experiencing what real Montana is like!
