Nine Quarter Circle Ranch Vacations Lodge

NINE QUARTER CIRCLE RANCH

Nestled in a small mountain valley nearby Yellowstone National Park, the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch is far away in the sense of both place and time. You can ride 360 degrees from the ranch without ever needing to trailer the horses, and there is terrain to explore for all ability levels. The log cabins are all unique and graced by homemade furniture and quilts made on the ranch. The cabins have private baths, most with tub/shower combinations, and range from single-bedroom up to four-bedrooms to accommodate larger family groups. Most are heated with both wood stoves and cadet heaters.
