Bar W Guest Ranch

Horseback riding is central to a week at the Bar W, but we also offer plenty of activities out of the saddle. Help with the chores (if you like, of course), fish for big pike on Spencer Lake, hike the miles and miles of trails, mountain bike, swim in the lake, throw horseshoes, learn to fly fish or play volleyball, or a leisurely game of pool. You can even test your archery skills or try your hand at breaking some clay pigeons. All this and more is what you can expect from a ranch vacation at the Bar W.

Wait until you sit down to taste some of the best down-home cooking, this side of the Mississippi – Montana style! All our meals are served with love family style by our own cooks. To start your day, a wonderful breakfast might include bacon, eggs, homemade coffee cake, and fresh fruit. Lunches are served in the dining room if you are on the ranch, or out on the trail and packed in your saddlebag to make sure you’re able to maximize all the fantastic riding we have to offer. For dinner, you can look forward to steak, chicken, and BBQ cookouts — all mouth-watering delights that should not be missed! Nobody leaves hungry.

The main lodge is 6,200 square feet of classic elegance and traditional western informality. The lodge has 6 bedrooms, 3 common areas, and a game room. A cabin designed by the Amish offers 2 suites that overlook the pasture and the surrounding forest full of wildlife. Finally, Glamping (glamorous camping) has really come of age here at The Bar W. The ranch offers four luxurious canvas tents with custom log beds with electric blankets, heating and air conditioning, log futons, a kitchenette, a porch overlooking the pasture, and a private bathroom located a few steps away.
