Perfect Montana Experience

This was the most relaxing home away from home. Kim and Dave are incredible! Our kids had to say good morning and good night to the llamas daily and already want to FaceTime them! This location worked great for us getting to Glacier, Jewel Basin, Polebridge, Lake Bowman, the Bison range and all the surrounding towns. We really wanted to stay the entire summer and would love to bring the kids back to experience more. Thank you Kim and Dave! You will always be part of our Montana Memories 💖💖💖

Peaceful and Comfortable!

We had a wonderful stay at Red Ryder Ranch house. It was very nice for us as a couple and with the pull-out sofa would have comfortably accommodated several children as well. It was very peaceful looking out at the llama pasture. Numerous wild turkey also transited the property. It was reasonably convenient to Glacier National Park (35 minute drive) while providing the solitude we desired when not navigating the huge national park. While this house is part of a bigger overall 60 acre property it was off by itself and we never saw or heard any guests occupying other vacation rentals on the property. The hosts, Kim and Dave, were very welcoming and accommodating. High value property for the price! You can't go wrong with Red Ryder Ranch.!

Everything about the Red Ryder Ranch was outstanding.

The one thing that stood out for me was the quiet. The wild life that dropped by wasn't bad either. My only concern is the step going out the back door. I walk with a cane and that step is really a " watch that first step." Something to hang onto, maybe a rail. Paint it a different color so it doesn't blend in. Maybe a large sign on the back door. We decided to lock that door and not go out there. Your rating would be one click over 5 stars. Leaving that out: YOUR RANCH IS OUTSTANDING. Thank you, Dennis & Robin Dingman Aurora, Colorado

Amazing property!!

This home is just adorable, clean and welcoming! So much to visit in the area, but we totally enjoyed our time at the farm ! The Lama’s are a joy , turkey and deer visited daily ! We only stayed 4 nights , but would have loved another full week ! Best of all was the beautiful Montana sky at night ! We slept with the curtains open, and it seemed as if we could touch the beautiful stars ! This was truly the cleanest and most enjoyable Vrbo we have rented ! Thank you Kim and Dave for a wonderful experience 😀

Glacier vacation

We had a wonderful week long vacation at this awesome property. The house was everything we needed and more. The property surrounding it was beautiful and we enjoyed the deer and turkeys walking around the house almost every evening! Thank you for sharing your house with us and we can’t wait to come back!

Magnificent Montana Stay

It is an amazing place to stay. Walking into the house you instantly feel at home. It is very clean with a cute and cozy decor. The animals are an extra highlight as you drive onto the property. We are hoping to one day return to Montana and will definitely check again for availability!

Red Ryder

We really enjoyed our stay here! The owners made the booking and check-in process easy. The house is so cute and was perfect for our relaxing vacation. We flew to Montana so we weren’t able to bring much, and thankfully we didn’t have to because this little house had everything we needed! Definitely didn’t want to leave and hope to be back soon!

Amazing property, homey vibe

Such a cute place with plenty of room. Loved the jetted tub, especially after hiking in Glacier. Comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, and lots of thoughtful touches. Had fun exploring the property and seeing all the animals. Will definitely stay here again if in the area!

Loved the Red Ryder Ranch

This property was great! It was our first time staying in a VRBO home and what a wonderful experience! The owner’s answered all of our questions and gave great recommendations on food and travel into Glacier National Park. The house was great, clean and homey. The bed was super comfortable and the decorations throughout the home really fit the theme. We were able to walk around the 60+ acre facility and got to meet the llamas and the alpacas! There was a definite heat wave all week in Montana with temperatures over 100 degrees but they owners graciously had the air and fans on in the house when we arrived! The only issue I had was that we didn’t stay our entire trip at the ranch!! 11/10 would recommend this wonderful property!!
