Dancing Spirit Ranch

Dancing Spirit Ranch This family owned historical property located in the incredible beauty of Northwest Montana.

A unique retreat in Northwest Montana, Dancing Spirit Ranch is a nature-filled, laidback luxury rental property and retreat center located just 20 miles from Glacier National Park. Nestled within this nature sanctuary is a small compound of buildings that offer guests a wide variety of activities and gathering areas. The 100-year-old restored Barn houses a commercial kitchen, dining room, library

and fireside sitting area. The Schoolhouse is an ideal location for many types of meetings and workshops. The seven-bedroom Bunkhouse has an Old West feel coupled with plush mattresses and warm Pendleton blankets. The Little White House is a former schoolmarm’s cottage that borders the 14-acre pond. This quaint village is the perfect base for all your pursuits of the ranch's activities. With more than 150 acres 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.

Happy Spring Equinox🌱

We always LOVE these powerful days in Nature that signify the turning of the wheel and the changes that come forth with each season;

how the light and energy that comes from the earth informs our next movements if we sit quietly and listen.

Our hearts usually let us know ahead of time that there will be changes, but the energy that comes -especially with Spring Equinox- also seems to bring the faith and courage to act on what is now true.

For us here at the ranch, this year’s Equinox is bringing forth a Sacred Pause.

Instead of continuing the journey outward and calling in all of the beautiful hearts and souls that have graced us with their presence over these last eight years, we are now turning inward. It is time for us to take the time and space as a family to deeply listen to our own hearts and the land here that we call home.

Something deeper is being asked of us, and we will be taking this sacred time to excavate what that is. 💙🙏

“We have seasons when we flourish
and seasons when the leaves fall from us,
revealing our bare bones.

Given time, they grow again.”

There’s power in Rest + Retreat. ‘Tis the season ❄️

Sweet memories from out Annual Cider Press Party + Apple Bake-Off a few weeks ago 🍎🍺✨

When it comes to gatherings at the ranch, this one is always a crowd favorite. After thousands of apples pressed (with everyone’s help), we yielded over 50 gallons of fresh cider - a new record!!

We may be biased, but apple cider never tasted so sweet 🫶🏽

Gratitude for all the helpers that came out and celebrated with us!!!

Our Story

This family owned ranch has a rich history going way back before they bought it over 25 years ago. Previously home to the Half Moon Mill, remnants of the past are often found throughout the property. From antique dinner plates, to railroad artifacts surfacing in the tilled crops, to the barn that we now congregate in today, this ranch is constantly merging the past with the present. Not only does each building hold a story, but many of the details scattered throughout hold one as well. There are many present day creations that you will find on the land that also hold great significance. With nature being their greatest inspiration, this family has dedicated their lives to the well being of this land. They grew organic crops for nearly 20 years; now only a couple alfalfa fields remain, while the rest of the land dances with forests, tall grasses, a gentle river and ponds. If you’re lucky, you can sit by the fire with one of the family members of this property to learn all about it.

As a small, family-owned and operated business, our hope is that our guests feel a part of our tight-knit unit. One can find elements of each family member throughout the ranch...You can admire the creativity of Gordon in each building, as he is the mastermind behind it all. Katherine's incredible dedication to the land shines through all of the stone sites that she has built over the years, and if you're lucky, you can experience one of her mesmerizing gong baths. Their daughter, Robin, and her husband Tyler, run the operations and love spending their time getting to know the guests. You can find them cheffing it up in the kitchen, teaching yoga classes, and working their magic all over the property.

This ranch, first and foremost, is a family home. Grandkids' laughter can be heard in the distance. Spontaneous visits from all of our pups happen on the daily. Neighbors pop in and out to borrow tools. We cherish our time here on the ranch together, walking the trails, celebrating holidays, fishing with grandkids, and much more. We know how blessed we are to call this place home, and it is our honor to share it with you.
