    Far from ever😄

    Beautiful setting, our room was gorgeous- very luxurious. Live music was excellent and the dinner was outstanding! Far from everything.

    There was a fire pit listed but upon finding it we were sorely disappointed. It was covered with a foot of snow. To put this place over the top they should’ve had it going!

    The property is really pretty. Our room was upgraded to a King Suite and it was huge! Breakfast was good.

    This property is a fabulous place! We only stayed one day here but can not wait to visit it again very soon! The rooms were great and I loved the back porch views. Our room had a nice fireplace inside and was a great added feature for the snow outside. The cookie delivery was darling and we can not wait to go back and fish and hike the property!

    The staff was phenomenal. We arrived late after the desk representative was gone and booked late. The other staff helped us get checked in and were very nice and helpful. We had driven many miles to find a place to stay and this was an amazing stay when we were stressed out from driving to find a place! Will be back again!!

    The rooms could use some updates but that was a small thing.

    Rainbow Ranch Lodge was an excellent facility. From the front desk to the housekeeper we were 100% satisfied. Special shout out to the Bartender Mary, the Chef Tony & our housekeeper (didn't get her name). We had a dream vacation and will definitely return!

    Beautiful Montana lodge with a great restaurant for a relaxed vacation stay (or celebration)

    Bathroom, general room cleaning, little pricey for what you get. But overall a great vacation stay.

    Beautiful (renovated) lodge surrounded by Montana river/ hills, in a quiet area (but nearby Big Sky ski resort). Cosy lounge with bar and fireplace. Luxurious whirlpool build on top of a little creek. Hiking trail starting directly behind the hotel. Very (intrinsic) friendly, helpful and engaged personnel. The general manager is also very flexible and customer friendly (this is appreciated!). We also liked it is still small scale (only a few rooms and people). Fresh breakfast. Overall a great vacation place to relax. We would recommend this lodge and would like to come back. The lodge also has a very good restaurant (This chef (and his team) can cook!, high quality /special food and reasonable/good size portions! (which is rare to find lately)).

    The site is beautiful, renewing in spirit and peaceful. The cabin like rooms were relaxing due to the porch area. The breakfast was plentiful and so delicious with the freshly made pancakes, the gourmet sausage and bacon. The lobby and lounge areas were like a bright warm hug.

    The rooms need art, and better design - or little personal touches like fresh flowers. The restaurant was very good but dinner is insanely expensive - so be prepared!

    Hot tub is the star of this property! The riverside rooms are spacious and have a fireplace, which was lovely. Bathrooms have been remodeled and are gorgeous. The team was accommodating and we really enjoyed our stay.

    found out when we arrived that the restaurant Was closed for a private party. We partially booked this resort because of the access to the restaurant for our elderly family member. We drove up a few miles and brought pizza back - So it all worked out. It was sort of like booking a motel with a pool for the kids - only to find out when you get there that the pool is closed for a private party. It all turned out fine - just sort of a bummer. Also - bring your own kindling if you want to use the awesome fireplace.

    Amazing property on the river. Easy on/off access from the highway. Very clean and quiet. Staff was friendly and breakfast was great.
