If vacationing at a dude ranch is on your bucket list, then Lone Mountain Ranch in Big Sky, Montana, is where you want to be. An authentically western experience with a historic feel along with the recently renovated B-Bar-K Cabin is how to experience the ranch lifestyle firsthand.
Ever since its homestead in 1915, Lone Mountain Ranch has been a symbol of the American West. Located in the scenic town of Big Sky, Montana, the ranch offers warm and welcoming hospitality to all guests who want to experience ranch life. With history in mind, B-K has served many functions over the last century including use as a schoolhouse, central ranch dining room, and a wellness center. All major papers making Big Sky a town and Big Sky a ski resort were signed there.
In the 1950’s, the ranch was home to a logging company where the cabin was converted to a schoolhouse for the logger’s children. Now, this historic and luxury cabin serves as the perfect destination for any occasion and groups whether it be for couples, families, or group getaways. Tucked away in Montana’s beautiful wilderness, B-Bar-K offers privacy, comfort, and top-shelf amenities with recent luxurious upgrades, all while maintaining the unique history and story behind it.
Built in 1936, B-K (pronounced B-Bar-K) is now available for guest stays with room for nine people to sleep. Totaling three bedrooms and three bathrooms, guests will enter the cabin into the expansive open living space with an oversized fireplace and a large dining table. Beyond that are two private suites each with king-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms, a children’s bunk room with two twin beds and a private bath, and a pull-out couch in the living room. Centrally located on the property, the cabin is just a short walk from the Horn & Cantle Restaurant and Saloon and activity center.
