In a nutshell, the owners and staff are very nice folks, our cabin was clean and comfortable, however we both thought there are better dude ranch options out there if you're looking for a full week stay. They cater more as an outfitter guiding 7-10 multi day pak trips, which leave and arrive at various times during our week stay. The guest that stay at the ranch, are more of an afterthought. They allow guests to stay & ride for just a couple nights/days and then continue on with their Montana vacation. If you're looking for a 2-3 night stopover, sleep in a cabin and ride a horse a few times this is your place! If you're looking for a full week stay at an authentic dude ranch there are better choices. We had a good time, and the scenery from the lodges patio is beautiful, but the quality of the lodge, food, cabins, barn corral area, spring fed ponds were furthest from "authentic dude ranch" of the five ranches we have visited.

No cell service, no internet, no TV, no vehicles, just your own two feet or horseback to get around. To get to this ranch is typically on horseback, packing in all the items on a mule or a trailer behind the draft horses. But if you time it right they will take you by boat to the Y of the Sun River which is were the lodge is at. Three meals a day are provided with the package and you can decide what you want to do for the day. Horseback riding to the mountains, hiking up the amazing trails, fishing in the river, or spending the day in the sun in Medicine Sprinsg. (Natural Hot spring) This is also fabulous after a long hike btw. The meals are delicious, the service is exceptional, the cabins are basic, yet perfect. (I have never slept better) The outhouses are modern day bathrooms with showers. For you hunters out there, I hear the Elk hunting is amazing. The scenery is breathtaking. That release of the constant need to check your phone slowly disappears. To worry of what's going on with the stock market fades away. The appreciation and gratitude for every minute in the day skyrockets. The reminder that the journey to the top of every mountain you climb is one step at a time, so enjoy each step!

We had a delicious breakfast the next morning with local sausage, eggs, blueberry pancakes with homemade huckleberry syrup and fruit. The best part was the conversation we had with Ann and a fellow visitor from Germany about the region. It was everything I had hoped for and more in a visit to a bed and breakfast. The next day, we were able to explore Ninepipes and the National Bison Range which are both a short drive from the Lodge. We plan to make Bear Spirit Lodge a regular destination point.

I am now subtracting a star because two and a half years later the rental agent takes issue with my four-star review claiming that I am "inaccurate." There are no inaccuracies in my post. We had a great time although we have several small quibbles about the property manager which kept this from being a five-star experience. I even left out the part about how the website says "pets allowed." When we arrived with our dogs the manager was SHOCKED. She actually told us to keep our dogs inside so the owner of the house who lives next door wouldn't see them. Dogs inside in July in Montana? Are you kidding me? (We did keep them up on the deck most of the time because there were lots of deer and we did not want to disturb them). If the website is as detailed and accurate as you say it is, it would have specified a pet policy other than just "pets allowed." It didn't. It still doesn't. This is on you, not us. As I said, it was a beautiful home and a fabulous location! It was money well spent. But the rental agent lacks communication skills and is not overly adept at being hospitable. The pet conditions were vague. If she didn't tell us to take our trash then she has really poor communication skills because both my sister-in-law and I heard her say to take our trash. And no, it was not clear that ALL the bedrooms in the house had twin beds and the only queens were together in the loft. (How does anyone expect to rent out a vacation home with such idiotic sleeping arrangements if they are described accurately?) It is too bad that this business owner denied my comments had any validity or were even accurate. A smart business person appreciates a four-star review especially if it has a bit of constructive feedback. Anyways, I do not appreciate being POKED for giving a four star review. Upon reflection, perhaps my review WAS inaccurate. I have revised my star rating accordingly. I was (not) surprised to see that the size of the Trout Bum portfolio has been drastically reduced to five properties. The house we rented is no longer being managed by them either. And if you look at their five star reviews, every single one of them is from a user who wrote their review shortly after this date and have written no other reviews ever in the five ensuing years. "Fishy."
