A lot has changed in a hundred years at the Covered Wagon ranch.

Thank goodness for refrigeration!

And rental cars! In Vic’s day, he’d pick guests up from the train station with a literal covered wagon.

Cabin 5 used to be the Lodge!

The grain shed used to be an outhouse.

And the tool shed used to be the barn!

But some things never really change too much.

Dogs will be dogs,

kids will be kids,


and ranch babies will always steal show.


Exotic wildlife still roam the property.


People from around the world enjoy a good fire just as they always have.


And friendships are still growing in the wild mountains of Montana.

Absolutely loved our visit and hope to return next year.
Great pictures. Loved our stay there in 2024. Best trip of my life. The riding was emotional for me and breathtaking. We enjoyed every minute of our stay with you all.
There needs to be a photo book with some of these in it!! Shows the fantastic history of this special place!! Can’t wait to see everyone in August!! ❤️
We do have a photo book out on the Lodge coffee table, so you’ll get to see even more cool history when you come visit.
Loved my time at CWR (Sep 2021 and 2022 ; my trail riding partner PISTOL, the sweet pig who stopped by my cabin for a visit , and the cat that came in and slept on my bed. Great hosts, good food and fun people. Always a most excellent adventure.
Love ‘The Covered Wagon Ranch’ and the people who put their heart and soul into making the experience so special. Many wonderful visits and memories that will always be cherished.♥️
