Happy December, from Flathead Lake Lodge. While the ranch is bundled up and cozy this time of year (while also welcoming guests to our winter seasonal restaurant, Quarter Circle), our full-time staff are here at the ranch getting things prepped and ready for 2026 and our 81st season.
If you have Montana on your mind, we’d love to invite you to consider a getaway at our ranch. Of all the places to stay in Bigfork, Montana, we offer something a little different: all-inclusive weeklong summer stays on the shore of Flathead Lake.
With our ranch’s 2,000 acres of terrain, this place is best described as a summer camp for families. For 2026, our family season kicks off May 31, while our final family week wraps up September 6.
If you’re looking for available dates for 2026, we have a handful of openings sprinkled throughout the following weeks:
-May 31-June 7
-June 7-14
-June 14-21
-June 21-28
-June 28-July 5
-August 9-16
-August 16-23
-August 23-30
-August 30-September 6
And while it’s hard to nail down the best part of the ranch for families, here are a few things we love: the relationships/friendships that are build among guests, watching folks set out on horseback trail rides with our experienced wranglers, Wednesday night steak fry and the peace that comes from allowing yourself to unplug, relax and reset at our home along the shore of Flathead Lake.
If you’re interested in getting away to a Montana guest ranch this summer, get in touch here or call us at 406-837-4391.
Happy trails,
Chase
