In the winter, the ranch is very low-key. A few hours cuddled in the huge leather armchairs soaking in the winter views of the pastured horses with a steaming cup of tea after a long day on the slopes was pure heaven. The hot tub looked amazing, but the snowy chill in the air scared me off of testing it... More

We had been to Bigfork in Sept 2012 and loved it so wanted to see the area in winter. We were not disappointed. The B W was wonderful, we were the only guests and had the lodge to ourselves. Awesome views, great accommodations. The lodge was great, comfortable, hot tub, music, grounds. We had breakfast only, what a fablusous meal.... More

We booked Christmas week at the Ranch in January 2011- that was the best decision we ever made!! Our 4 children, their wives/significant others, 6 grandchildren (ranging in age from one month to 7 years) and my 83 year old mother in law enjoyed the week! There were 17 of us in total and we never felt like we were... More

Everything was perfect! If you like to "do things" on your vacation, this is a must. But at the same time, you got free (personal) time. The ranch was beautiful from the lodge, to the lake, to the mountain ridges. The food was awesome - thanks Terry and Amy! I ususally don't eat meatloaf and had two pieces. The trout... More

The staff goes out of their way to be sure the guests have everything they need and they are always upbeat and friendly. The trail rides are varied plus the ranch... More
