Our trip to Nine Quarter Circle, July 1-8, 2012 This was our third time at Nine Quarter Circle. I wish I could say it was consecutive years, but time does not permit us to go every year. There are plenty of families that are fortunate enough to do just that. Once you visit you'll understand why they have such a... More

"Summer camp for all." What a great statement! We love that YOU love the ranch and all we do. We are so happy to have you and all of our "regulars" return - sometimes every summer, sometimes every couple of summers. It is truly our goal to make your stay not only memorable, but irresistible so that you return again... More

My 8 year old daughter and I took a girls trip to NQCR.... we fell in love with the owners, ranch folks, guests, horses and the beauty of the area. This is not just a vacation, this is a place to be a family again, escaping the realities of busy city life. It was a joy to watch my daughter... More

Thank-you so much for the great review & kind words. We love introducing everyone to our lifestyle, but especially kids. We've seen so many bloom here and it's a wonderful feeling to have them want to come back year after year. We'll see you both again this summer! More

We have visited the Nine Quarter Circle three times with our two children and simply love it. For families that find it almost impossible to unplug, both literally and figuratively, the ranch is the perfect getaway. With two daily rides, a softball game, hay ride, square dance and the never ending fun of chasing bunnies under the porch, throwing rocks... More

My husband and I brought our three children (eight, five and two) to the ranch to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We have never had such a relaxing, fun, happy family vacation. Each one of us had great times on our own, and also lots of good family time. Each night there is a new family activity, and each night before... More

Several years ago I came upon an advertisement which I could hardly believe. It mentioned a "Cowgirl Quilting Retreat" at the Nine Quarter Circle - one week spent with two world-renowned quilt instructors in the beautiful mountains north of Yellowstone with plenty of spare time to ride horses, fly fish, hike, or just sit on the porch gazing at the...

My family and I just returned from the 9QCR, and were sad to leave. The setting is beautiful, as the ranch is located about 5 miles off the main road. Every morning we woke up, we just could not believe how breathtaking the view from our cabin was. We had a very nice two bedroom cabin, so the kids were... More

I had never ridden a horse before nor been to a dude ranch and was unsure what to expect but, notwithstanding the sore knees, I was commandeering my horse across raging rivers by the end of the week.

I woke up at home yesterday, still on Montana time. After my coffee I felt like I needed to go somewhere, do something, be ready.

Lifelong memories and familial bonds are just two of the amazing “side-effects” to an All-Inclusive Dude Ranch vacation. While the deep rest and relaxation rejuvenate you, the awesome scenery will feed your soul. The many activities and sports that you can enjoy will provide you with experiences and memories that last a lifetime!

You may also enjoy hiking the area, viewing wildlife and wildflowers in abundance and you can even bring a bike to explore some awesome mountain trails! In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in many other traditional activities such as campfire, hayrides, square dance and more! In addition to all of these benefits, our on-site fly-fishing guide, the children’s programs, meals, and much more are all included in your stay! These all combine to create a unique and ideal location for your vacation. Owned and operated by the Kelsey family for over 60 years, the Nine Quarter Circle is “magical”.
