DISCONNECT to RECONNECT at the incredible Dancing Spirit Ranch.
With more than 150 acres of Montana’s legendary wonderland to explore, the grounds have over 5 miles of walking trails, ponds to kayak on, and gardens to explore. There are beautifully crafted standing stone sites on the property that draw inspiration from around the world. The owners of this property have created a peaceful oasis that consciously blends the creations of man and nature. The native grasses and trees planted have become home to many wild animals that can be spotted daily grazing the fields and roaming the sky. The intention behind Dancing Spirit Ranch is to provide guests with a laidback yet luxurious retreat in nature where one can simply reconnect with the stillness and splendor of the elements around them. From onsite massage to meditation huts, one can find exactly what they need to unplug.
Beginning in the summer of 2021, Dancing Spirit Ranch officially became farm to table with their very own, craftily created, organic garden. They have worked long and hard to build an organic, sustainable garden to feed guests. Their chefs are constantly working to create menus inspired by the daily offerings, always highlighting seasonal flavors. Enjoy a festive meal in Rio’s Clubhouse, the newest hut tucked amongst the garden overlooking the Whitefish River.
And, of course, Dancing Spirit Ranch is in the middle of northwest Montana’s legendary, recreational wonderland. Located 6 miles southeast of Whitefish, which was just named Montana's most beautiful town, we are a short drive from Glacier National Park, Whitefish Mountain Resort, and many pristine lakes that are woven between beautiful rivers and streams.
