Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set on a ridgetop just south of Columbus, you’ll find this tucked-away Montana ranch, where sweeping vistas of the Stillwater and Yellowstone Rivers are framed by the dramatic Beartooth and Crazy Mountain ranges. This family-owned spot is no wedding factory, meaning you have the freedom to create a celebration that’s just right for you.
- The transformed Hangar, once used to store airplanes, is now a fabulous event center. Three large garage doors open onto a sprawling patio to encourage an easy indoor/outdoor flow…and to provide your guests plenty of opportunities to enjoy the crisp mountain air and the sparkling stars overhead.
- The luxe Lodge is your wedding weekend home base, with accommodations for up to 14 guests along with a chef’s kitchen, walk-out patio, dining & sitting rooms, and game room. The highlight is the exquisite primary suite, which is perfect for wedding party prep or a honeymoon retreat—there’s even a private sauna!
