Private Montana Ranch Retreat - Hot Tub + Ranch Access
Come experience Montana from your own private home on a luxury guest ranch. Free Spirit Ranch is a spacious four-bedroom, four-bath retreat at Ranches at Belt Creek, surrounded by the Highwood Mountains, open range, and the kind of wide-open Montana landscape that makes you want to stay outside until the stars come out.
Free Spirit gives you the best of both worlds: the privacy and comfort of your own Montana vacation home, with ranch adventures, clubhouse amenities, dining experiences, and concierge support right outside your door.
Wake up to mountain views and quiet mornings, spend the day on horseback or fly fishing, come home for a soak in your private hot tub, and finish the evening around the fire under Montana’s famously big sky.
THE HOME
At approximately 2,750 square feet, Free Spirit comfortably accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms and four bathrooms. It’s a great fit for families, couples traveling together, or groups of friends who want enough room to spread out while still having comfortable spaces to gather.
Large picture windows bring the surrounding landscape into the home, while warm Western-inspired interiors give Free Spirit a sense of place that feels distinctly Montana.
There are some wonderful local details throughout the house, too. The fireplace incorporates river rocks handpicked from Belt Creek — including a heart-shaped stone tucked into the design — along with a historic reclaimed beam from the Belt Creek Gorge. Custom stonework crafted locally in Great Falls adds another connection to the area without sacrificing the comfort of a modern vacation home.
OUTDOOR LIVING
Some of the best parts of a stay at Free Spirit happen outside.
The home has its own private hot tub, outdoor fire ring, grill, dining and entertaining space, all surrounded by the open Montana landscape.
Take your coffee outside in the stillness of the morning. Come home from riding and climb straight into the hot tub. Grill dinner as the sun goes down, gather around the fire afterward, and stay outside long enough to see just how dark — and how full of stars — a Montana night can be.
THE RANCH EXPERIENCE
The house may be your home base, but the ranch is your playground.
A stay at Free Spirit can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you want it to be. Depending on the season and availability, our ranch concierge team can help arrange experiences including:
Horseback trail rides and riding experiences Fly fishing ATV adventures Sporting clays and archery Guided hikes Scenic floats Sunset dinner rides and ATV experiences Snowshoeing and other winter adventures Skiing and snowboarding nearby In-home massage And more
Spend the morning riding through Montana ranch country, head out for an afternoon of fly fishing, explore by ATV, or try something completely new. Or leave an entire day open, sleep in, enjoy the house, and do absolutely nothing.
There’s no one right way to experience the ranch.
DINING, CLUBHOUSE & CONCIERGE
Guests at Free Spirit also have access to select amenities at the Ranches at Belt Creek clubhouse, giving you another place to gather, relax, and enjoy the ranch during your stay.
Clubhouse amenities include a fitness room, shared hot tub, and gathering spaces, and the ranch concierge team is available to help coordinate activities, dining, and experiences.
Chef-prepared brunches, dinners, and other private dining experiences can also be arranged in advance. Spend the day outside, come back to the ranch, and enjoy a great meal without having to turn your vacation into a grocery-shopping-and-restaurant-reservations project.
A $35 daily Fee applies and is collected through Vrbo. The fee includes access to select ranch amenities, clubhouse dining, and concierge support during your stay.
Activities, guided experiences, dining, chef services, and other optional offerings are booked separately and are subject to availability. Advance reservations are recommended, particularly for popular activities and peak travel dates.
YOUR MONTANA HOME BASE
Free Spirit is made for the kind of trip where everyone can experience Montana a little differently.
Bring the family for a ranch vacation. Come with friends for horseback riding, fly fishing, and days outside. Plan a couples’ getaway with chef-prepared dinners and evenings in the hot tub. Or come simply for the mountain air, quiet mornings, open space, and a few days away from everything.
Ride horses. Fish. Explore the ranch. Have dinner prepared for your group. Sit around the fire. Soak in the hot tub. Pour a glass of wine and watch the mountains change color. Stay outside after dark and look at the stars.
Or do absolutely nothing for an afternoon.
Free Spirit gives you a private Montana home to make your own, with the adventures, amenities, and hospitality of Ranches at Belt Creek waiting just outside your door.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.
