“Wonderful views, wonderful animals, wonderful breakfasts & especially wonderful hosts!”

“Happy kids, happy parents. Thank you!” Tim, Kim & kids
At Mandorla Ranch Retreat, even a grizzly bear has been known to wander by now and then.Nearby Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge, with an abundance of diverse migratory birds (birdwatchers love this location!), and the National Bison Range, offer a lot of diversity of wildlife to observe. Plus don’t miss the Museum of Early Montana with a fascinating collection of western and Native American artifacts from this area.
Enjoy hiking, biking, river rafting, and horseback riding nearby. A lot of major local attractions can capture your attention for a day. Rodeos, powwows, music, and festivals are among the numerous seasonal events held throughout the summer
