320 Guest Ranch

8/10 Good

"We overall loved our stay but maybe we didn't read the fine prints enough and that is on us. I would warn against booking a ranch stay in October as they have nothing to offer but a roof over your head during this time. The restaurants were closed, the horses were gone and there were no activities running. Walking the grounds was beautiful and it was cute having the resident dogs running around. Funnily the Love Island usa cast was staying there the same time as us in a cabin nearby and you could see around the ranch things set up for them only, the communal fire pit was set up but not for guests, for filming.. it would have actually been nice if they did this for their guests as the nights were cold and it would have been fun to immerse in some sort of activity. We stayed in a "deluxe" cabin apparently, it was clean and had a fire place, bed was comfy. A family moved in next door to us and the wall is shared and not sound proof at all just fyi if you're wanting to have some peace and quiet... Breakfast was a bit of a grab and go situation and we appreciated the generosity in what was being offered. You definitely need a car to get around outside of the ranch but a need to know is that there are pot holes everywhereeeeee on the ranch and unavoidable and they make you sign a waiver that if something goes wrong with your car, they will not be helping you. So be extra careful! Staff were friendly!"

10/10 Excellent

"I booked this room back in February and forgot just how large & spacious it was! Wow! I traveled alone on this trip, and my room could have had 8 people stay in it so this felt like a house to me, and i loved every minute of it! I arrived late night to the hotel and due to some woman expecting a package from the hotel's mail room, the front desk person wasnt there for 10 mins. When she arrived she was very nice and helpful, as the wait was from this woman & her finding a package. The lodge itself was a bit confusing as to where to check in & park at first, but thankfully i was directed to the right hotel and the valet guy helped park my car as it was a bit far to lug all of my stuff from their parking area. My room was extremely clean, and with the space and full kitchen, I loved it! The view and the balcony in the morning were both spectacular, and i made sure to enjoy in in the morning with my bathrobe & coffee before I got my day started and checked out. If I am ever in Big Sky again, i will definitely stay here."
