I had a fabulous time at Lonesome Spur. Lonnie, Elaine, Jack and Carter welcome and involve you so that you feel like family rather than a guest. Home worries rapidly become a distant memory as the ranch weaves its magic. I got to experience ranch life and got a better understanding of horses and how to work with them. They... more

That was an understatement, I loved every minute of it. The people were fantastic, the horses great and the scenery was stunning. We rode across wide open spaces and... more

We planned to have a week at the ranch followed by a week touring montana but we didnt want to leave lonesome spur so toured for 4 days and went back to the ranch for the end of our holiday. It really did feel like coming home. We can't recommend this place highly enough, Lonnie and Elaine are excellent hosts,... more

Beware their advertising is fraudulent and the quality of service horrible. We had researched 100's of guest ranches and chose this vacation location wanting to stay at a working cattle ranch where we could gallop across the range, experience cattle work, and enjoy fresh and home cooked meals. As stated on their personal website Fees were to include: a.Basic riding... more
