This was my second trip to the bar w guest ranch. It's a smallish ranch were the staff (which outnumber the guests) all know your name. There are about 50 horses and the focus is around riding and ensuring that each guest does as much or as little as they want. They match your skills with a horse for the... More

hey guys - if ever you are thinking of going to Bar W - do not hesitate! We travelled all the way from France, spending 25 hours either side for the journey and it was worth every second. I was a beginner and terrified of horses and if I told you I was going through meadows and up and down... More

This was our first time to a guest ranch and it was great! Can't wait to try it again. We had such an awesome time and the experience was beyond our expectations. The entire staff was so nice & friendly & VERY accomodating. It was a vacation that I will always remember. We had great trail rides each day and... More

We spent 8 weeks in America and the best week we had was at the Bar W ranch! It was even better than our Carribean cruise and time at Disey World. It was definitely the staff who made the week as fantastic as it was, though the fact that it is a beautiful part of the world certainly added to... More

To celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday, we took a trip to the Bar W Ranch in hopes of having the time of our lives~ and boy ~ we sure did!! The staff treated us like family, catering to our every wish (both spoken and unspoken request). We were exhausted (in a good way) at the end of every day due... More

I had my first ever dude ranch experience (and first ever trip to Montana) in October 2011 for the Cowgirl Up week at the Bar W. I traveled alone since this was something I had always wanted to do but was no longer willing to wait for someone to come with me. Let me say it was the most memorable... More

We visited Bar W Guest Ranch in December and loved every minute of our stay there. The guest house is so comfortable and we really enjoyed the communal breakfast every morning prepared by Katie and shared with other guests and Andrew the ranch hand. The town of Whitefish is really close and so charming! Skiing was fabulous! Lots of fun... More

We visited the Bar W Guest Ranch for a week in late August and still can't stop talking about what an amazing experience this was. We rented the Eagle's Nest which had a bedroom, living area with small frig, and loft area. This was a good arrangement for two couples or a couple with children. The deck looked out over... More

Stayed here as part of the Photography week in October 11. Without doubt one of the best holidays we have ever had, the waether was kind and the accomodation and staff are absolutely brilliant. Nothing is any trouble to anyone and we paricularly enjoyed meal times where everyone sat down together, this helped to create an atmosphere which brought strangers... More
