Lodging

The 320 Ranch has reserved a block of cabins for us for October 5-8.  There are still cabins available at a reduced rate (10% off) that is good until JUNE 15. Here is a link to the 320 Lodging site so that you can see the cabins they offer, and here is a map of the 320 Ranch. You can call the 320 Ranch at 406-995-4283 to book rooms. In order to get our discounted price, please mention our names. If you have questions about lodging, you can also email Meghan Larson at Meghan@320ranch.com. It is probably a good idea to reserve rooms early. We encourage you to coordinate your lodging and to share cabin space. Some cabins have kitchenettes–be sure to ask when you make a reservation; some have microwaves and most have [outdoor] charcoal grills.

(If you miss the deadline to book under our discounted price, you can still get a 10% AAA discount.)

If you would like to stay off of the 320 Ranch here are several options, in order of decreasing proximity to the 320 Ranch:

Camping in the Gallatin National Forest behind the 320 Ranch.

Not for the novice camper, as there is no way for us to know if it will be 70 degrees and sunny or 25 degrees and snowing in October in Big Sky.

The Cinnamon Lodge

The Cinnamon Lodge is very close to the 320 Ranch and has great rates for rooms. Unfortunately, they do not block out rooms. However, as rooms at the 320 Ranch fill up, we recommend checking here next.

THE Rainbow Ranch

The Rainbow Ranch has a number of very comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting, a short drive down the road from the 320 Ranch. It’s the fanciest option for lodging in the area, short of the lodges at the Big Sky or Moonlight Basin ski areas.

Buck’s t-4 Ranch

Buck’s T-4 is a locally-owned piece of history with extraordinary dining and a stuffed mountain lion.  Bucks has offered to set a block of rooms aside for us; more details to come.

Other Options

If the lodges listed above fill up or if you have any special requests, we can suggest some alternate locations to investigate. These will likely be further away, more expensive, or both, but the Big Sky area has a lot to offer and you shouldn’t hesitate to look around for something that tickles your particular fancy.
