SK Ranch
is a year-round
black angus cattle ranch and grain producer
located where the sunlit prairies meet
the Rocky Mountain Front
under Montana's
Big Sky.
SK Ranch is a real, working ranch...
We are not a dude ranch nor are we a flashy resort.
We include you during our every day work and leisure time. Below you will find the details of what we offer and how you can customize your stay with us.

Lodging:
You have several choices for your sleeping arrangements.
Our cabin is fully furnished and decorated in a cozy, western motif. The main room has 2 queen beds along with seating and a table. The bathroom has a shower and a sink with plenty of towels.
We have teepees if you wish to get in touch with your outdoor surroundings. ( This is recommended for a shorter stay or (vacancy provided) an overnight relocation from your cabin.)
There is also the opportunity to stay in a authentic 1910 homesteader's house. Minimal changes have been made to ensure your stay is comfortable, yet as close to the old west as possible!

Meals:
We proudly serve home-cooked meals with lots of our own ranch-raised beef, home-grown vegetables and made-from-scratch desserts! You can expect real ranch specialties such as Dutch-oven cooking, Rocky Mountain Oysters and an all-out steak dinner. You tell us what your drink and snack preferences are and we'll be sure to have plenty on hand.
Special accommodations are available for those with dietary restrictions.

Ammenities:
The main ranch house has free local and long distance phone and fax service, as well as dial-up Internet.
There's a comfortable sitting room with satellite TV, a small library, games, puzzles and a full cookie jar!
Don't forget about our outdoor fireplace...it's a great way to spend the evening swapping stories while listening to the night sounds of the prairie.

Activities and Excursions:
When you stay at our ranch, you are considered part of our family...and part of our labor force! You are welcome to participate in as much or as little of our daily lives as you'd like. If you are content to sit in the shade sipping iced tea while watching the wildlife and listening to the sounds of the great outdoors, that is perfectly acceptable with us. However, there's always plenty of work to be done and if you have a mind to fix fence, round-up cattle, clean barns, help with branding or any of the other daily activities on our ranch, we can put you to work.
Read more and view photo galleries of a typical day on our ranch.
Be sure to ask about our natural horsemanship clinics and training sessions.
As mentioned above, part of your 5+ day package includes a one-day excursion to a local area of interest. Popular destinations include Glacier National Park, Two Medicine Dinosaur Center, Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, C.M. Russell Art Museum and Museum of the Plains Indian.
Please note that excursions have a 75-mile limit and do not include an overnight stay at your destination.
