Mountain Sky Ranch sits on 8,000 acres of wilderness in Paradise Valley, close to Yellowstone National Park. Originally a working cattle ranch, the property diversified in the 1920s to welcome guests.

A selection of one to three-bedroom cabins are scattered around the main lodge, with views of the surroundings. The majority of the log cabins have been beautifully restored from original buildings, each is unique and furnished to a high standard of rustic design.

Horse riding is the most popular activity at Mountain Sky with a team of passionate and experienced wranglers on hand. Other activities include fly fishing in the Paradise Valley, hiking with knowledgeable guides or playing a round of golf. There is a spa for relaxing and a program specifically designed for children of all ages, so everyone will be kept entertained.
