Rain, Snow or Sunshine we would love for you to spend your visit to Montana in our guest house. If your visiting Montana you already know it is a great place to be any season. So, whether you're visiting Montana for leisure, fishing, hunting, rodeo, kayaking, boating, skiing, snowmobiling, golfing or just passing through our beautiful state we have the perfect little guest house by the river that will allow access to all these activities and more. We are an hour or less drive to your favorite activity. Check in time is 4:00 p.m., Check out time is 11:00 a.m. (Unless other arrangements have been made with us)

Our guest house is nestled in the Gallatin Valley within steps from the East Gallatin River which runs through our property. We offer free WiFi, fully equipped kitchen, front deck and a BBQ gas grill, parking is right in front of guest house. We're 6 miles north of Bozeman, 45 minutes from Big Sky and just one hour from Yellowstone National Park.

This little gem is located out in the country on a working farm, so you're truly exposed and can experience living on a genuine Montana farm. Wake up to nature's sounds and nestle into a cozy bed in the evening. Prepare your favorite meals in our charming fully equipped kitchen. While relaxing on our log cabin deck you can enjoy the gorgeous views of the Bridger Mountains or take a walk along the river. Very often a few White Tail Deer, Canada Geese and other waterfowl walk or fly through the land. Don't be surprised if an occasional friendly bunny or robin stops by.

We offer tours of the farm where we grow crops such as alfalfa, wheat, orchard grass, barley and peas. You can visit our friendly critters which consist of alpacas, one great white pyrenees ( Laramie), our chickens, sheep, cows and of course our yellow lab Cheyenne and her little buddy Cody. You can take a tour of the iconic Dairy Barn and parlor which is now a home for our Alpacas and during lambing season our Ewes. If season allows you can experience how the crops are grown, maintained and harvested if interested.

You can fish the East Gallatin River which is steps away from the guest house. Enjoy many activities such as fishing, hiking, skiing, Bozeman Hot Springs, Chico or Norris Hot Springs, hunting, horse back riding, Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky Ski Resort, downtown Bozeman's restaurants, museums, live theater. During summer and fall months enjoy our live Music on Main Street or Shakespeare in the Park.

    Our stay at the River Ranch Guest House was amazing! It is very close to the airport, but you do not hear the planes much at all. It is also close to Bozeman and Belgrade. The house is small, but it had everything we needed and did not feel cramped. Each morning and evening, we enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the peafowl and alpacas with the beautiful Bridger Mountains in the background. Luanna and Bruce were wonderful hosts; Luanna brought us some carrots to feed the alpacas when she took us on a tour of the farm and both of them shared information about where to hike near the farm and what to do on our way up to Glacier. We didn't get a chance to walk along the East Gallatin River much, but maybe next time. Such a pleasant escape from it all!

    We loved our stay at this beautiful home! The house faces the mountains with a peaceful, relaxing view, and the porch with rocking chairs was the perfect spot to unwind. It’s located on an active farm, which added to the charm, yet it was incredibly quiet and serene. The owners were exceptional—friendly, welcoming, and available on the premises if we needed anything. The house itself was spotless and exactly as described on VRBO. The location was also perfect—just 5 minutes from the airport and only 15 minutes to downtown. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

    It was a paradise. It's close enough to town and restaurants...but far enough away to be totally relaxing. The guest house is cozy. The bathroom is TINY...but we were able to make it work. NO AC...yikes! But it cools off so nice at night that it was delightful. We didn't cook...but the kitchen was nice. It was so relaxing sitting on the porch...or next to the alpaca field. The peacock and pea hens were a hoot to watch. The owners were really great!

    This is the kind of place that eases the tension of trying to see all of Yellowstone in a few days. We were challenged to find enough time in our schedule to linger on the perfect porch. We strolled the pastures to the river's edge, skipped stones and stood with our mouths agape at the surrounding mountain views. Its just a perfectly beautiful location. The guest house is well supplied and was found neat and tidy. Comfortable beds and a hot shower were just what we needed at the end of our full days. Our 10 year old grandson was in heaven the whole visit. No screen time even requested!!!

    Although the setting was pleasant, there were no significant views as shown. The grounds were neglected, with no clear path to the river due to overgrown grasses and fields. While the farm animals were enjoyable to watch, bird waste made it difficult to sit on the front porch. The overall exterior maintenance of the property seemed overlooked, The inside was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, including coffee beans, a grinder, and a French press.
