FAVORITE SUN

Looking for a fresh twist on the green getaway? Go west! The Lodge at Sun Ranch offers a special brand of New West luxury in the middle of a 26,000-acre Montana eco-ranch.

And don’t worry; you needn’t be a Rough Rider to find contentment at Sun Ranch. The rustic luxe seclusion of the lodge—which caters to no more than 16 guests at a time—offers a ranch experience that’s far from “dude.”

Kicking back at this ranch, where scores of wild animals are as at home on the range as the pampered cattle, includes propping your feet up on the deck railing for unparalleled views of the Madison Valley and enjoying gourmet meals made from local and organic ingredients. And the staff deftly combines outdoor adventure—from horseback riding to fly fishing to naturalist-guided hiking to custom tours of nearby Yellowstone National Park—with personalized learning for a meaningful connection to nature.

End your trip with a “green tour” of the sustainable ranch or explore the Native American connection to the land with an archaeology tour—or just wander a nature trail at your own pace, experiencing the real luxury of wide open spaces.
