The Cheff Ranch is situated in a picture-perfect mountainside setting, overlooking the breathtaking Mission Valley, where we run cattle and raise our Tennessee Walker studs and 150 head of horses on 15,000 stunning acres.  Guests can choose to take part in the daily routine of our ranch, or embark on an adventure to explore the beautiful surroundings either on horseback or by foot, or go for a dip or a canoe ride in our lake.

Once you arrive, you’ll enjoy accommodations in one of our guest rooms or cabins and you’ll experience the first-rate hospitality that the Cheff Ranch has to offer. 

We do our best to make you feel at home, from our delicious ranch-style meals served right in the lodge to packing you an optional picnic lunch for a long excursion to Swartz Lake or Glacier National Park.

And for those days when taking it easy is the goal, you can breathe in some fresh mountain air and the scent of fresh pine and fir trees as you relax on the ranch lawn.  Or take a good book out to the beautiful waterfall located just beyond the guest rooms.  If you fancy yourself a budding angler, you are welcome to catch and release some of the cutthroat trout in our lake.  The Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge is just below us in the valley, where you can enjoy ample opportunities for fishing and bird-watching. 

We are a nature and history lover’s paradise.  Minutes away we have Flathead Lake (the largest freshwater lake in the Western United States), the National Bison Range, Ninepipe Museum of Early Montana and the Jesuit Mission in St. Ignatius.  Just a short, two-hour drive away are Glacier National Park and Hungry Horse Dam, both of which are well worth the trip.

We offer several Guest Ranch Vacation Packages. Your full-service week-long package includes lodging, delicious meals, horseback riding, whitewater rafting and much more.

Our ranch has also been the site for many beautiful Ranch Weddings.  Our guests enjoy the intimate setting and accommodations that our historic ranch has to offer. We host Montana Ranch Weddings, Corporate Retreats as well as Family Reunions. 

Please contact us for more information.

 

Our Montana camping accommodations

Our seven guest rooms are housed in a rustic lodge building that also offers laundry facilities.  Rates include three hearty meals, lodging and two daily horseback rides.  A one-week trip consists of seven days and 6 nights, beginning Monday at noon and running until Sunday after breakfast, and including a day ride and a ½-day whitewater rafting trip.  Guests are welcome at any time to make use of the canoes and to swim in the lake.  And as mentioned, if you’d like to roll up your sleeves and help, there is ample opportunity to pitch in.
