I Knew From My Very First Visit...

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE IT ON EARTH

There’s no place in the world quite like Montana, from the stunning mountains to the wildlife, it’s a truly one of a kind place. It’s been a blessing to my family to be able own a small slice of it where the magic that makes Montana so special can truly be found. If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime experience in a place that will instantly feel like home, Spotted Bear Ranch is the place for you. Our family has made many trips here together, making memories that will last for years to come, and we would love to extend this invitation to you as well.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

There’s something here for everyone, from the world class fishing and hunting expeditions we offer to the ability to disconnect and relax in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. We know there is something here that will be able to provide you with the authentic Montana experience. Perhaps best of all, you’ll be treated to a world class dining experience by our chef on-site.

We are here to share out little piece of paradise with you and make it your home for as long as you want to stay.

We hope to see you here very, very soon.

Jeff Signature

Tucked away in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Spotted Bear Ranch is ready to give you quintessential Montana views. Snow capped peaks, beautiful rivers, forests and wildlife are all right here.

It is the ultimate place to disconnect and spend uninterrupted time with family, friends and nature. A place where you feel at home, can call home and where anglers’ and hunters’ memories are made and outdoor traditions live on.

The fishing and scenery are amazing. Best Cutthroat fishing out there... I overheard one guest say this is the best Orvis lodge he's ever been to. And he's been to 5 or 6...

My son and I had a great experience at Spotted Bear. We fished three days, including a hike and wade on the Spotted Bear River, and float trips on both the upper and lower South Fork...
