Alta Ranch

CABIN, GUEST RANCH, VACATION HOME | Darby

The Alta Ranch is tucked away in the beautiful Bitterroot Mountains 90 miles south of Missoula and 30 miles southwest of Darby. With just 6 vacation homes (authentic log cabins) on 350 acres, the Alta Ranch offers plenty of privacy and room to roam.

The 6 log vacation homes, nestled in the pines, are attractively furnished in lodge decor and feature a wood stove in the living room and a fully equipped kitchen and gas barbecue grill. The largest can sleep 12.

The upper West Fork of the Bitterroot River flowing through the ranch for about a mile is an excellent trout stream, ideal for walk-and-wade fly fishing. Other things to do on the ranch include canoeing, horseback trail rides, gold panning, campfires, hiking up our mountainside, wildlife viewing, or just plain relaxing. Fly fishing lessons on our large pond are also available. Schedule fishing and float trips down the West Fork with an outfitter. Natural hot springs are nearby.

The ranch is open all year. The minimum stay recommended is 3 nights. Rates vary from $160 to $400 a night. For more information including pictures, visit the Alta Ranch website at http://www.altaranch.com
