We had an incredible 3-night stay at Montana Hill Guest Ranch! Elaine and Al were amazing hosts—so warm, friendly, and thoughtful in every detail. Their property is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views in every direction. It was so peaceful and relaxing, the perfect place to unwind. We loved seeing the animals wandering around—it added so much charm to the experience. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we can’t recommend this place enough. Truly a 5-star getaway!

I stayed at Montana Guest Ranch and absolutely loved it.

The highlight was the optional steak dinner – cooked to perfection and served with a hearty country feel inside the owner's home. Being from another country, this provided the real Canadian

experience with some wonderful hosts.
