For a memorable family vacation, reunion, fly fishing trip, retreat, wedding, honeymoon, hiking, or relaxing getaway, visit the Alta Ranch!
The Alta Ranch is tucked away in a picturesque and pristine setting in the Bitterroot Mountains 90 miles south of Missoula, Montana and 30 miles southwest of Darby, Montana. With four vacation homes (authentic log cabins) on 150 acres, the Alta Ranch offers plenty of privacy and room to roam.
The five charming, fully furnished, log cabin vacation homes vary in size; the largest can accommodate eleven. Cabins feature a wood stove in the living room, a fully equipped kitchen and gas barbecue grill, 2-3 bedrooms (linens provided), 1-2 bathrooms (towels provided), covered porch, laundry, and private campfire site.
The Alta Ranch is open all year round! The minimum stay is generally 3 nights. Families, couples, singles, nature lovers, hikers, anglers, hunters, photographers, honeymooners, and outdoor enthusiasts are welcome. The ranch is an ideal location for family reunions and religious or business retreats.
The cabins are very clean, carpeted, and attractively furnished in lodge decor. Cabins feature a wood stove with plenty of firewood in the living room, a complete kitchen, 2-3 bedrooms, 1-2 bathrooms, covered porch, telephone, and electric baseboard heat throughout.
Two-thirds of a mile of the upper West Fork of the Bitterroot River flows through the ranch. Enjoy excellent walk-and-wade trout fishing on the ranch all year round or visit the Selway, Salmon, Bitterroot, and Big Hole rivers nearby.
Watch moose, elk, deer, and a variety of small mammals, waterfowl, bald eagles and other birds from the porch of your private, hand-hewn log cabin nestled in the pines.
Other things to do on the ranch include canoeing, gold panning, hiking, biking, campfires, cross country skiing, skating, snowshoeing, and simply relaxing. Horseback trail rides, float trips, and natural hot springs are nearby.
