The LodgeThe Bob Marshall Wilderness Ranch provides a gorgeous lodge nestled between the Mission Mountain Wilderness and the Bob Marshall Wilderness, in the heart of the Swan Valley. Although our lodge is very remotely located, being surrounded on all sides, but one, by Forest Service land, it is only a few miles from a state highway, affording easy accessibility. Our lodge is located 21 miles North of Seeley Lake, Montana on State Highway #83.

We constructed the lodge on a hillside which overlooks the beautiful Swan Valley. From the expansive windows of the lodge the view is breathtaking and gives the impression that you are deep in the heart of the wilderness. Whether relaxing out on the main deck or from within, the view encompasses the magnificent Swan Mountain Range to the East, the glacier peaks of the rugged Mission Mountain Range to the West, and the expansive Swan Valley below. It is truly a spectacular setting.

You will appreciate the beauty and wildness of the area, offering the ultimate in scenery and solitude. You will be impressed by the first class table set offered to our guests, as well as the utmost in warm, personal accommodations. We serve hearty, tasty meals ranch style and will do everything possible to assure your visit with us is a memorable experience.

The lodge is available for business or family retreats, horseback riding, sightseeing, photography, cross country skiing, snow mobiling, horse drawn sleigh rides, or just getting away from it all. It is a wonderful place to relax around the fire while looking out at some of the most beautiful country imaginable.

Our horses are well trained, sure-footed mountain trail horses. Our guides are skilled professionals who make that special effort to assure your ride will be a wonderful mountain experience. During the winter we schedule cross country skiing and snow mobiling retreats. There are numerous mountain logging roads, which have long since been closed to automobile traffic, that offer some of the best conditions you will ever find for these winter activities.


The Bob Marshall Wilderness Ranch is a wonderful jump-off point for some of the best fishing, hunting, trail riding, and mountain-gawking left in the U.S. And Virgil and Barbara and their crew will treat you like family." Bill Rooney, Managing Editor, AMERICAN HUNTER MAGAZINE
