Description

Lone Mountain Ranch (LMR), situated on 148 acres in beautiful Big Sky, Montana, was first homesteaded in 1915 and has long been recognized as one of the premier guest ranch resorts in the country. The property consists of 30 rooms located within 24 unique cabins as well as the Horn & Cantle Restaurant and Saloon, the Ranch Hall, the Outpost, equestrian facilities, event venues and meeting spaces. A National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World, LMR is listed on the National Registry of the Historic Places, a member of the Dude Rancher’s Association, and once voted the #1 Nordic Ski Resort in North America by Cross Country Skier Magazine, LMR offers authentic luxury accommodations, genuine Montana cuisine, exceptional service, and a stunning array of outdoor recreational pursuits. Combine these attributes with proximity to Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky Resort, as well as Bozeman Airport, and we believe the LMR guest experience is unlike any other in the American West. The Auric Room is a unique and intimate culinary and wine and bourbon tasting experience housed in a space that is simultaneously contemporary and steeped in Montana heritage. Members and their guests will find a private, 25-seat dining venue with booths, banquet tables, a 6 seat bar, private kitchen, private bathroom, and cigar terrace. Rustic reclaimed oak flooring and timber walls hearken to a different era while elements lie a thick black marble bar suspended on an ebonized base add mystery and a modern feel. The effect: an intimate, hidden zone of quiet hospitality specifically created for members. LMR Vision: Lone Mountain Ranch is a destination where guests disconnect from the world, while connecting with others through unforgettable adventures in a natural setting. Moments are crafted through discovery, exceptional people, fun activities, and a breathtaking environment.
