The Kimmel Ranch is located on the prairies of North Central Montana approximately 20 miles from the Canadian border (south of Saskatchewan). We have gophers galore, badgers, coyotes, whitetail, mule deer, and antelope. It's a great place to gaze at the stars under the Montana Big Sky, see spectacular sunsets and sunrises, or watch the storms roll in majestically across the prairie. If you like, do nothing at all, but listen to the quiet of nature, or more likely, the wind howling across the miles and miles of landscape. In addition, with every booking, you get some ranch-raised beef that you can take home with you, ship home, give to a friend, or donate to your favorite non-profit. We help you handle it all.
Our property consists of 3,700 acres with access to nearby public land rich in potential for hunting, birding, and more!
Our property is also a great location for outdoor recreation opportunities. We are always open to new ideas for ways that people can enjoy our property. If you don't see your desired activity, please click the "Contact Tricia K" button, and we'd be happy to see if we can accommodate you.
Camping is permitted on the property. We can also accommodate your RV (no hookups available), please just coordinate with us. Local lodging is also available in Chinook (48 miles) or Malta (70 miles).
Please be aware that because this is a working ranch, there will be specified areas that will be inaccessible when you arrive. There is plenty of room to roam, however, and we will give you directions to the places you can recreate.

Bio
History of the Kimmel Ranch
Around the time of the turn of the 20th century a young Talbert Shaw boarded a west-bound train with his mother to leave New Hampshire. After unloading their belongings in Harlem, Montana, they rode a freighter north across 26 miles of wild prairie land to an area of Montana nicknamed "The Big Flat", so called for its high elevation and mostly flat landscape (save for some wildlife-rich coulees).
As an adult in the 1920s, after purchasing the ranch next to his mother's homestead, he married Ms. Lydia Kimmel, a young widow with four very young sons. He "added on" a couple homestead shacks to a Sears-Roebuck house, and the couple farmed and ranched together until Talby's untimely death.
Lydia's youngest son Pat M. Kimmel assumed operation of the ranch at the tender age of 16. After a stint in the Army, Pat returned home and continued the family business, eventually swooned and married a little Wisconsin girl named Jenny, and had four children of their own. Pat passed away in an accident in 1991, leaving his high school-age boys to pick up where he left off.
Today, the ranch is owned and operated by Pat's oldest son, Patrick J "PJ" , his wife Tricia, and their two sons Shane and Trever...just three Cowboys and a Cowgirl. They purchased the ranch from PJ's mother in 2001, and have continued to improve and change and build the operation.
In 2017, the ranch did a slight pivot in its management practices to become more soil health conscious and regenerative than it already was. We look forward to sharing what we're doing to leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
