A Family Retreat to Alpine Falls Ranch in Montana

Spread across 800 acres of pristine Montana wilderness, Alpine Falls Ranch offered our family a rare and unforgettable escape into nature, adventure, and connection. From the moment we arrived, the expansive mountain views, fresh air, and warm welcome from the ranch team set the tone for the week.

While not a resort, the ranch provides a high-end, personalized experience with the warmth and hospitality of a close-knit team that lives and works on-site—creating a welcoming, family-like atmosphere.

We stayed in the Mountain View Villa, a spacious and beautifully designed home that quickly became our haven. With over 9,000 square feet and five bedrooms, each of us had plenty of room to unwind, while the generous shared spaces made it easy to come together for meals, conversations, and quality time. We enjoyed peaceful mornings on the patio, soaking in the views and sipping coffee. Evenings were especially memorable—enjoying billiards and cocktails at the Six8 Saloon, savoring chef-prepared meals featuring local ingredients, and ending the night around the fire pit or watching movies together in the private theater.

Our days were filled with curated adventures that showcased the best of Montana’s wild beauty. We rode UTVs through forest trails to the serene Diamond Lake, went fly fishing in pristine waters, tried our hands at clay shooting, and experienced the thrill of white-water rafting in the Clark Fork River. Horseback riding through the ranch’s expansive terrain was another highlight, offering a chance to connect with the land in a truly immersive way.

It was a place where our family could simply be—together, grounded, and inspired by the natural beauty around us.
