Spotted Bear Ranch
At a Glance
- Bob Marshall Wilderness is at your fingertips

Cons
Spotted Bear Ranch Review
Book well in advance if you wish to stay at this remote yet upscale lodge. The two-bedroom log cabins here among the evergreens are cozy, yet have generator power, flush toilets, showers, fireplaces, and views. The ranch, reachable by a rough road, specializes in fly-fishing expeditions. Dinners are for guests only, and are served family-style in the historic main lodge.
