Children and adults alike will love the joy of bottle-feeding our baby calves, a daily tradition that connects you to the rhythm of ranch life. Wander the property, meet our friendly animals, and ask Al about what it's really like to live and work on a ranch. It's not just a photo op—it's a real, grounding experience that brings you closer to the land and its heartbeat.

Hummingbird lovers at The Ranch

Hummingbirds are all around the Ranch

Bring your binoculars or open your eyes, Montana Hill is a quiet paradise for bird lovers. The land is alive with vibrant native species, offering some of the best birdwatching in the region.

Watch as hummingbirds dance through the wildflowers, darting from blossom to blossom in a flurry of colour and energy. Listen for the rhythmic pecking of woodpeckers hidden in the trees, or sit silently as songbirds fill the air with peaceful melodies. From your cabin porch or while strolling through the forested trails, you'll find endless opportunities to pause, observe, and soak in the beauty of nature's most delicate wonders.

  From the Land to the Table: Cheese Making with Elaine

It's a fun and enriching experience that gives you a taste of self-sufficiency, and it always ends with smiles and samples. Don't forget to book it in advance.

 Fireside Stories & Sunsets 

Fire Pits with a View

When the sun begins to set, the magic continues. Gather around one of our outdoor fire pits, where the day slows down and connections deepen. Share stories with fellow guests, toast marshmallows, or sit back and gaze up at the stars. With virtually no light pollution, Montana Hill offers crystal-clear stargazing that will leave you breathless. It's peaceful, pure, and something your family will talk about long after the trip is over.

 Unwind in Your Private Hot Tub with a View

A family moment at the Ranch

Families often say it's their favorite part of the day, where laughter flows, muscles relax, and moments feel extra magical.
