My husband and I brought our kids on an 8-week drive across the country. Most of the time was spent camping, but we added in a 5 day stay at the Covered Wagon Ranch (CWR). When we pulled in and saw the row of cabins we knew we made the right choice. After getting a tour of CWR we went... More

I have just returned from a fantantic week at CWR. There are many things that keep me returning each summer. Not only areTim's meals fantastic, but the wranglers are knowledgeable and friendly and do their best to make sure every rider has a good time. The horses are well cared for, the scenery spectacular, and the cabins are charming. The... More

Since coming back from a road trip on which Covered Wagon was a real highlight, we have been mulling over what it is that makes CW so special. The wonderful setting? The charm of the cabins? The sense that the horses are cared for with great skill, without the experience being so "expert" that it puts off novices like us?... More

Spent a week at the ranch for our first dude ranch vacation ever. I don't think anything could have been better. Debi and JT make everyone feel like family, the food is incredible (plan on gaining a few pounds, because you won't be able to resist) and the wranglers are friendly and really want to give every rider a great...

Don't doubt the reviews, it's all true! My fiance and I stayed 4 nights the last week of August and were so sad when it was time to leave. First, the location is amazing, beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see. When you first pull into the ranch itself, it doesn't jump out as one of the most... More

I really don't know where to begin.....and being speechless is not the norm for me!! This was a wonderful family experience from start to finish. Our children (16,14 and 8) were expecting some form of our standard beach vacation this year, but were "shocked" to learn we would be going to a ranch in Montana!! After a big "sell" and... More

We have just returned from 5 days on the ranch. Maggie and I can only say,that we all know there are a lot of ranches across the USA to choose from,we were lucky enough to find the Covered Wagon Ranch via Tripadvior site. This ranch is a true refelection of what we wanted a ranch to be,Maggie is a very... More

Montana has a popular bumper sticker that reads in essense, "Montana is Full, go somewhere else!" That's how we feel about CWR. It's truly a "gem" which our family would like to keep to itself but it and its surrounding beauty would be a sin not to share with others. From the owners, managers, cooks, staff and wranglers-"top shelf" all... More

We just returned and are still talking about the great people, great horses and beautiful scenery at the Cover Wagon Ranch. The food, cabins and staff were the very best. Our pack trip with Jacob, Brian and the two mules was a highlight of our trip. If you want great riding, excellent food and friendly people the Cover Wagon Ranch... More
