Madison River Valley Vacation

We vacationed at Lost Bear Ranch recently and were very pleased with the stay, the property has amazing views of the Madison River Valley. The cabin is easy to get to and is very comfortable… a slice of heaven.

Perfect

I hate to brag on the cabin - it’s kind of like telling other parents about a great babysitter, you want to keep that a secret - but everything about the location, amenities and host is perfect. This was our second family vacation to Lost Bear and we will be back.

A Little Piece of Heaven

This house is even better than the pictures! Absolutely beautiful! The cabin itself is immaculate, hot tub is huge, and the property and views are priceless! We got to see a deer with a fawn right in the yard every day. Wonderful experience, we're hoping to stay here again soon!

July 2022 vacation

The photos of the property were very accurate and my family was very happy with our stay. The home is extremely well maintained, the property is very private, and there is plenty of space for family to stretch out. The location is ideal for fly fishing, visiting ghost towns, accessing National Forests. Everyone in our party would be happy to spend another stay at this beautiful home. Lastly, the owners are very friendly and responsive.

My Next Home

This property was exactly as described. It is beautiful and I want to live there. The inside of this cabin is a perfect size for a family to stay. The interior is so warm and cozy. The view from every window is great! The outside is very quiet and secluded. This is exactly the type of invironment I want to live in. The stress just melts away!

Sprinkling of Yellowstone & world class fly fishing

Too 3 rental for us over the past 15+ years of multiple vacation rentals. The property pics don’t show how great the views are. Also a Pro photographer might show better how nice this cabin is. We loved it. So well equipped too. Great spaces to relax inside and out. You can see my beloved Madison River off in the distance and great Mountain View’s.

Location location

The house is set in a peaceful and quiet place. It has two creeks surrounding the property with a few of the mountain range. House is perfect! Every amenity one would need. The host where friendly and communicated with us throughout the process. Resident deer that visit in the mornings along with other wildlife makes for a tranquil setting.

Spectacular views that overlook Ennis valley and the mountains of Big Sky

I have already recommended this house to 5 of my friends. No really! The house had everything a vacation stay could offer. We enjoyed being in the middle of nature with the accommodations of a complete home. The furnishings are incredible art pieces of wood, which we admired, and they fit the house so well. The road up the house was too steep for me to ride my bike, but my husband liked the endurance challenge. While we waited to see wildlife, our dogs had a blast making sure no strange scent went unnoticed. The hot tub was a plus. We’ll be back!

Amazing ranch experience!

The Lost Bear Ranch was exactly what we see looking for! We came to Ennis/McAllister for a wedding and wanted an authentic ranch experience and the lost bear ranch was perfect! The house was clean and organized. Check in and out was very simple. The owner Patty checked in a few times but unfortunately cell service is limited/we were at a wedding event when she called, so I never spoke to her directly but it was a non issue! Would love to come back and stay again! Listening to the river rush in the hot tub at night star gazing was heavenly!

A wonderful Montana experience

Top notch all the way! This lovely log cabin, nestled next to the Revenue rock formations in Mcallister could not hand been better. From the beautiful vistas, the relaxing North Meadow Creek and the expansive, star-filled night sky (Milky Way included) , to the kind and attentive host, our trip was flawless. Thank you for creating the perfect getaway.

Breathtaking Views and Exquisite Log Home

This log home is amazing. The interior is all tastefully chosen and made up of high end quality decor and furniture… lodge, bears, moose, and western. All our favs. The beds were beyond comfortable, the bathrooms gorgeous, and the great room/kitchen wonderfully accommodating. My hubby particularly enjoyed grilling on the brand new Weber and we all enjoyed the awesome, bubbling hot tub, even in the rain. While admiring the gorgeous 360 scenic views of the mountains and rushing rivers, we were visited by a local moose, a baby doe only a foot tall, and a few deer. The communication with the owner was outstanding. We were well taken care of in this rustic, elegant VRBO rental. You will love it there.

Magical stay

Our stay at Lost Bear Ranch was magnificent🥰. The view from the front porch provided a stunning, ever evolving backdrop to our trip. We couldn’t peel ourselves away to go inside for the night. But then the beds, ahhhhhh, sleep city after all the fresh air. We had a visit from a curious young moose, several birds, prairie dogs and deer😏. Location was divine, with one of the best restaurants I have been to in a while, right at the end of Meadow Creek, The McAllister Inn😋. Thanks Patricia for a trip of a lifetime😁

Pictures don't do it justice - this place was incredible! Definitely make sure to follow the supplied directions and don't rely on Google Maps to get there - it's quite a bit off the main road but totally worth it. Can't imagine going back to Montana and NOT staying here!
