Seasonal Openings for Summer, Fall and Winter in the Mountains of Montana!

The 320 Guest Ranch offers an authentic guest ranch experience to our guests. Homesteaded in 1898 the 320 Ranch looks to provide a Montana experience to our guests in a ranch setting that offers flexibility for the traveler. We strive to provide an authentic western adventure tailored towards modern travel preferences.

Situated in the heart of the Gallatin Valley the ranch is located within the Gallatin National Forest. We are 12 miles from Big Sky and 36 miles from West Yellowstone.

About 320 Guest Ranch

One of the things that makes the 320 Ranch stand out among other guest ranches is the staff’s friendly, professional, down-home hospitality combined with the warm and historic atmosphere of our classic Western ranch.

We offer 58 modern and comfortable cabin accommodations, ranch activities, and wireless internet.  Our ranch is open and staffing year round.  

Our authentic Saloon offers relaxation in the after-hours, pool games and more, and our on site restaurant, McGill's, features superb wild game specialties of the house prepared by our Chef.  Activities abound with Yellowstone National Park and whitewater rafting just 10 miles down the road, and trail rides, hiking, biking & fly fishing access on the ranch.  In the winter, our ranch offers Sleigh Rides and is only about 35 minutes to the Big Sky ski resort!  There are lots of outfitters in the area for snowmobile rides and cross country skiing too!

The Employee Experience

Because most of our staff lives and works on the property lifetime friendships are often formed. The work can be hard and long but we are all rowing the same boat to provide our guests with an amazing experience. We also understand that our employees come to Montana to enjoy all that we have to offer so we try to offer limited overtime and be fair with days off so our staff can get out and enjoy all the amazing things this state has to offer!

Employee Perks

You can make full use of the ranch facilities including horse back riding, fishing and hiking on your day off and get to spend a season (or longer!) in the great outdoors.

Getting Here and Getting Around

Due to the ranch being somewhat isolated, many of our staff will drive to the ranch.  If you choose to fly in, the Yellowstone International Airport at Gallatin Field in Bozeman, Montana is the closest airport (56 miles).  Please let us know ahead of time that you are flying and we will have transportation scheduled to pick you up.  If you decide not to have wheels, usually you can hitch a ride with a fellow teammate who is going to town.
