Where do I begin? I'll start by saying I am back home in NY yet I am homesick to go back to Covered…read moreWagon Ranch - what an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. There is simply nothing like it around. I was a solo traveler (33F) from NY never having been to MT or out west - reading reviews online I liked that the ranch didn't seem to be like a "mill" and looked like more of an individualized experience & boy was everyone right. I was immediately put at ease before I even booked when I called the ranch and Melissa spoke with me right away answering all of my questions - she is extremely knowledgeable, responsive & informative. Upon booking she sent a bunch of information for packing/activities/etc. - there were absolutely no surprises and I felt very prepared for the trip & of what to expect - if you miss something it's because you didn't read it carefully & that's on you! My cabin immediately felt like home - it was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. There is so much charm to the ranch. Every meal was better than the next. Melissa, Kurt, & the wranglers are the real deal - they know the country better than the back of their hand & I was so impressed by them all. Having never experienced this kind of country I quickly went from being apprehensive to eager to go out every day and explore simply because of how at ease the wranglers made me feel. Kurt & Melissa have a real talent for reading horses & people and paired everyone PERFECTLY with their horses for the week as well as the group I rode with. I have never seen better cared for/happier horses in all my years of riding - I don't even want to say my horse's name here (& I won't) because I selfishly want her for the next time I go but she was really just such a great horse. There are not enough words or space in this review to say how much I loved this ranch and how much I appreciated the kindness and warmth Melissa, Kurt, their 2 boys, the guests, animals, and the entire staff of the CWR showed me. This place will forever hold a special place in my heart & I look forward to coming back as many times as I can!!

Expecting a five star experience, we received one. Not only was the lodge in an ideal location, the…read morepeople throughout the organization were fantastic. The food was great and the service across the board was exemplary. And needless to say the fishing experience was topline with super experienced guides David Kern and Isaac Corman. The true test of an experience, however, comes when one sees how management deals with an issue. Our issue was that the air conditioning broke and the first night the room was unbearably hot. They had an AC team come in and although they couldn't fix the unit while we were there, they had a portable unit installed to take care of the immediate issue. And more importantly, Manu, the manager, worked to reach an acceptable arrangement to cover our discomfort. Overall - I would definitely return and recommend for others to come see what they have to offer.

I've never fly fished in my life (TBH, I rarely even FISH). So when I learned our 2022 corporate…read moreleadership trip would be a 3-night fly fishing excursion on Montana's Madison River, I was honestly skeptical. But not did I learn how to cast a fly (and land a Trout!), but my visit to Madison Valley Ranch ended up being one of the best trips I've ever taken. From the moment you walk in the door, the ranch rolls out the red carpet. After being welcomed with a cold draft beer and tour of the property, we settled into our very comfortable guest rooms to unwind before dinner. Whether you plan to fly fish or not, the entire ranch is designed to make you feel at ease, and at home -- from the incredible back porch views to the outrageously good dishes served up at every meal. Manu and her team take customer service to a new level, from equipping you for an incredible day on the river to selecting the perfect bottle of Cabernet to pair with your dinner. No detail is too small for them, and no request goes unmet. The accommodations are as comfortable as any 4-star hotel, the meals as delicious as any gourmet restaurant, and the views as beautiful as a slice of heaven. And with ample meeting space for corporate groups, its the perfect setting for a team-building escape. I simply can't say enough about Madison Valley Ranch -- whether you're an experienced fisherman or just learning to cast a fly, it's hard to imagine a better place in America to put your rod into the river.

My friends and I were staying at one of the Spanish Peaks cabins which provided full access to the Club. We were able to get delicious breakfast every morning before hitting the slopes, and were also excited to go back at the end of the day and grab some much needed drinks. Staff will help you remove your boots and will even heat your ski boots overnight! The locker rooms are also really nicely furnished. We learned while we were there that everything is only a few months old right now so we were really there in the ultimate peak condition. One of the other really cool things is that the Spanish Peaks resort is open only to guests. It has trails that connect you right into Big Sky so you can ski both resorts, but if you're staying at Spanish Peaks, the slopes there are included with your stay. Trails were wide open, freshly groomed, and it felt like we had our own private place to ski/snowboard. On Friday night there was a live band playing the bar area which was really nice. Also, I need to mention that our bartender Patrick (Murph!) was just phenomenal. He was friendly and attentive and clearly a great guy. He knows a lot about the area and gave us some good food suggestions. He also makes a mean Montana Mule. The Club was pure luxury and I would highly recommend visiting.

Sadly, I didn't experience any paranormal activity, but I slept wonderfully in my cozy bedroom at the end of the hall and down a few steps. This place is quaint and cute! When booking, pay attention to the room type-some of the rooms come with a private bath, others have a shared bathroom. There's a lovely seating area and coffee in the morning so you can mingle and chit chat with the other guests. After all, you probably bumped into them in your bathrobe on the way to the bathroom anyway. Might as well have a cup of coffee together!

When we checked-in, Ronnie, at the front desk, informed us that our standard room with two beds…read moredid not include a private bathroom, so we would have to use a shared public shower and separate toilet. She said she already rented the the only other room with two beds that had a private bathroom to their one only other party. We could get a different room with a private bathroom, at an additional cost. We were already paying $169/night! These days I thought standard hotel rooms all come with a private bathroom! Well then this is a historic hotel, located in the historic Virginia City of Montana,, where originally there probably was no indoor plumbing! So who knows what a historic standard room meant? This standard room without bathroom looked to be about 12' x 12', with two twin beds, one night stand, and wash stand nicely crammed into it. Perhaps there was room enough for two adults if they were munchkins who had only the clothes on their backs! So I asked Ronnie if there were any rooms with a shared bed with private bathroom. She immediately offered my sister and me a room (without additional fee) with a full bed, two night stands, an old-fashioned vanity, chair, and very small closet that had a private bathroom. While a vast improvement, there was still only enough room to walk in the room after we piled our suitcases on the vanity and luggage rack. My sister reported that her side of the bed sagged, probably due to previous guests sitting on the bed while dressing since there was little else to sit on. This room had so little walking space that we felt even the housekeeper wouldn't be able to clean our room without knocking over our preecariously-balanced belongings. With only one other party, I really don't understand why we weren't offered what we had reserved, let alone a free upgrade, in the first place. We would not stay here again.

Our family of 5 (three kids, girls aged 9 and 7, and 5 yr old boy) just returned a few days ago…read morefrom a week in Yellowstone National Park followed by a week at Nine Quarter Circle Ranch. There are a lot of trips that are fun but don't quite live up to the highest expectations, but our time with the Kelsey family at NQCR was a rare thing in that it far exceeded our wildest expectations. By the end of the very first evening we had already been welcomed as warmly as though we were family, and our kids each had found a friend among the other kids on the ranch. By the second day the kids were all asking if we could please schedule again for next summer. Even though I had chosen NQCR for its famous kid wrangler program, we had no way of knowing just how much fun they would all have. Their days were filled with horseback riding, various crafts, playing on the playground and just exploring the gorgeous ranch with their new-found friends. The only problem we had all week was when we had to convince them it was time to wash and go to bed since the sky was light until almost 10 every evening. This left my wife and me free to take advantage of the twice daily rides (where we both significantly increased our horsemanship skills), the fly fishing and a few hikes to take in the amazing views. We really never rode the same trails twice, and I feel if we had stayed a second week we still wouldn't have seen all the stunning scenery surrounding the ranch. The menu was varied and we looked forward each day to the fresh and tasty food their chef cooked up. In fact, as beautiful as the ranch was, as awesome as the horses were and as comfortable as our cabin was, the real treasure here are the Kelseys and their staff. From the wranglers to the kitchen and serving staff, we enjoyed being with everyone there. It was great to see so many employees working with obvious joy and we will miss all of them almost more than everything else from our stay.
