Fodor's Expert Review Grey Cliffs Ranch

Located on a 5,000-acre working ranch with world-class fly-fishing access, this striking luxury lodge just 30 minutes from downtown Bozeman is often used as a vacation home for its owners. For that reason, the decor (think lots of taxidermy) and artwork (including an original Winchester gun) make it a destination in itself. The meals are as extraordinary as the setting. Don't be surprised to see deer or even elk from your bedroom or bunkroom window. Included in the rate is access to a full bar and wine list as well as ranch activities like shooting, hiking, fishing, horseback riding and even pottery lessons with the ranch manager's wife who has a studio on site.
