We have some neat amenities, like our wood-fire stovetop and spring house cooler, which are big favorites for the guests we've hosted so far! The cooler is spring-fed from freezing cold mountain water. The cabin is included with all hunting bookings that are 3 or more days. We can accommodate single day bookings; however, lodging will not be available. It's also available during the summer with our outdoor rec package!

Our History

My great-grandfather, Charles "Moab" Lovely, came to Montana from Kansas in the late 1800s and homesteaded here in the Shields Valley, building the ranch and passing it down from generation to generation in our family.

The ranch is 134 years old, as evidenced by the original ranch deed, signed by Theodore Roosevelt, which is still in our possession.

The Property

Our beautiful 790 acres are located nine miles east of Wilsall, right at the base of the Crazies, in the shadow of Iddings Peak (10,938 ft) and Crazy Peak (11,178 ft). On the ranch Basin Creek joins the South Fork Horse Creek as it winds into the valley to eventually feed into the Shields River.

Access to the Gallatin National Forest and amazing hunting opportunities are available nearby.

Ranching is in our blood, and from our family to yours, we are excited to share our way of life with you!
