Intersected by a meandering alpine creek, Lone Mountain Ranch is nestled in a valley backing up onto mountain ranges just 18 miles from Yellowstone National Park. The property dates back about a century and has been a rough-luxe family dude ranch for than more 30 years. The working ranch offers all-inclusive escapes from the everyday grind brimming with an array of exhilarating outdoor activities. The freestanding cabins, many of them original 100-year-old structures, are strewn across the beautifully upkept grounds. Accommodations are warmly appointed with authentic country Western style furnishings, featherbeds and down-home patchwork quilts. Each of the individually designed lodges has a private entrance and features a small sitting area, cozy wood or gas burning fireplace, electric heat and a private in-cabin bathroom with a tub and shower combination.

LMR is a special place. This is our second summer spending time at the ranch. The cabins are authentic and well-appointed. Last year, we stayed in a duplex (didn't love it) and this year we were in Aspen-which was fantastic. The days are packed with fun activities outdoors with professional wranglers and guides. The evenings are spent at the Horn & Cantle which is a top-notch restaurant or the family BBQ which was a change of pace and fun. All surrounded by gorgeous views. I found the staff to all be quite friendly and professional. A special shout-out to Taylor and Jess in the Outpost, Wranglers Nina, Natalie and Peyton, Will who seemed like he was everywhere, and Ava, Bella and Robert in the H&C. Can't wait for our next visit.

This was our first time visiting LMR. The attention to details for setting up and planning the trip was excellent, very attentive to what we were interested in and what activities we were looking to do. The highlights, the food was good, we ate at the saloon for dinners and the live music was a nice ambience. The horse wranglers and all the barn staff were very helpful and attentive. They ensured that we were safe and that we were comfortable ridding the horses. The trip to Yellowstone was enjoyable, as the guide was very knowledgeable about it. We had a small group which was nice and allowed us to decide on where and what sights to see. The cabin was quiet and the sound of the creek was a nice touch. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job maintaining the cleanliness of the cabin and the sweet treats, cookies, chocolates and truffles was a pleasant surprise to find every night when we returned back to the cabin. The transportation being included within the package was a key factor for us to stay at LMR. The pickup and travel to the ranch was fine, our driver was on time and very friendly. We were the only couple in the car, so we had private transport to the ranch. For our transportation back to the airport when we were checking out, that did not go as smoothly. Just with the current issues happening within the airports, we had assumed we were going to have ample time to arrive at the airport. The ranch informed us that they gave us a 3 hour window based on our flight departure time, not boarding time, for when we leave the ranch. When we inquired about this, the staff told us that was the time and that there were no other drivers available if we needed to leave earlier. There was no flexibility on finding another option to leave earlier or to make changes. The trip was relaxing, up until we left, with the uncertainty of making our flight created a stressful situation for us.

Words cannot describe my feelings for this place! We had such an amazing time at our 4 nights stay at the ranch! We had the summer discovery package and this really made things easier and more smooth for us! We did so many things, the food was amazing, the stuff so kind, nice and helpful! We definitely must come back to this mountain paradise! Mr Jo, Mr Danny, Maddy and Hogan if you read this thank you for your kindness and politeness! Maddy thank you for teaching me even a little how to ride a horse like a cowgirl! Wish you the best to you all!

This was truly a trip of a lifetime for our family — so special that we’re already dreaming of coming back again and again! The staff is phenomenal and made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely incredible — every meal exceeded our expectations. We did have a small hiccup with our cabin, but it was handled graciously and resolved quickly. Now that we’re back home, we’re already counting the days until we can return.
