The Bar W has blended elegance with western informality to create an atmosphere that truly comforts. Singles, couples, families and groups of all ages love the ranch, and the cool town of Whitefish is just 3.5 miles away. There's riding, fishing, boating, wagon rides, archery, skeet shooting, hiking, mountain biking, and campfires to mention a few things. Or, just kick back relax and let Montana surround you! Come and visit -- you'll feel recharged! Check us out! Time will run a little slower, things will seem a little easier, and everyday will feel like Saturday.

Imagine a place where time runs a little slower-- things seem a little easier ... where everyday feels like Saturday. . . where you can find rest for your body, mind and soul and you can just simply breath again!

Please come and join us for a week of fun for the Bar W Dude Ranch Adults Only Week. Singles, couples and parents alike are invited to unwind for a 6 night getaway. Escape to beautiful Whitefish and experience for yourself some of the most unspoiled nature while exploring Montana's spectacular and diverse scenery by horseback. The Adults Only Week at the Bar W is an all inclusive retreat designed to allow you to relax, have fun and let your stress evaporate into the fresh mountain air.
 

Your biggest daily dilemma will be choosing between the fantastic trail riding or working on horsemanship skills with team penning/sorting of cattle, barrel racing, and roping during your dude ranch vacation! If you'd like to spend some time out of the saddle we offer something for everyone including skeet shooting, fly casting lessons, archery, horseshoes, campfires and guided hikes. 

One of the highlights reserved exclusively for adults only week at the guest ranch is a day at Glacier National Park, known as the --Crown Jewel of the Continent-- where you're sure to say to yourself--this is one of the most beautiful spots on earth. Winding down at the end of each day you are invited to join us for our informal cocktail receptions sitting by a cozy fire in our lodge. 

By the middle of the week you-ll be ready for a night on the town in Whitefish (recently named one of the "Top Ten Cool Towns" by Frommer's Budget Travel) starting with a fantastic dinner at Mambo Italiano and then hit the local watering holes! If you have a relaxing evening in mind mosey back to the ranch for a seat in the hot tub and gaze at the stars that fill Montana's big sky. Or you might find yourself grabbing a book, a blanket, a cup of tea and settling into one of the leather chairs overlooking the pasture. 

So if you are ready to make some lasting memories, come join us for great riding, scenery, and fun at our Guest Ranch in Montana, the Bar W.		

Retreat to the beautiful Bar W Guest Ranch on Spencer Lake in Northwest Montana for a 6 night / 5 day get-a-way. The Bar W is offering an all inclusive package for women to "Cowgirl Up" with their best friends, sisters, daughters, or just come alone and enjoy the camaraderie as the "girls" take over the ranch. This special package combines nature's simplicity with western informality and provides you with a true Montana retreat to refuel your spirit and delight your body.

The "Cowgirl Up" is an all-inclusive woman's adventure retreat in keeping with the simple yet elegant Bar W style. Before exploring close to a million acres of trails, your get-a-way starts with a "Saddle Up" horsemanship clinic in the arena where you'll choose your horse and find your seat. Each and everyday you can ride to your hearts delight with one of our expert wranglers - or not - perhaps you just want to kick back relax and let Montana surround you.

In addition to the trails, prairies and mountainous terrain, novice and experienced riders will also enjoy working cattle and learning the fine skill of individual and team sorting and penning in the arena. For the more experienced rider, there is also an opportunity to try their hand at barrel racing and roping. And, just when you think life doesn't get any better, you'll kick off your shoes for a honey and hot cream rock foot massage followed by a couple hours of real pampering.

At the end of the day, wind down and enjoy the Vintners presentation and cocktail receptions followed by a down home Montana style dinner that will absolutely delight your palate. Then head down to the Blue Moon for some "two stepping" or out to the hot tub for more relaxation under the stars -- it's up to you!

Time will run a little slower, things will seem a little easier, and every day will feel like Saturday - You will feel reborn!		

"The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man."  Spoken by Will Rogers, Winston Churchill, and Ronald Reagan, among many others and finer words were never spoken.  Man's universal love of horses has taken man and horse into a world of incredibly diverse use.  But, there's one area of the horse world that isn't mentioned enough and that's "Cowboying," and that may be the best of them all.

"Cowboying on the Great Divide" is scheduled for this fall hosted by the Bar W Guest Ranch.  It's all about horses, cattle, great country, and you!

At the Bar W, we have created a cattle drive adventure that rounds out all of the experiences of a cattle round-up. Having participated in traditional cattle drives, we wanted our guests to experience the "best of" what a cattle drive offers.

We'll begin at the ranch with horsemanship lessons working with cattle, getting your seat and making sure you and your horse are a match. Then we head out to the Blackfoot reservation for the next four days to our base camp. Over this four day trip on 50,000 acres, you'll ride as far as you can see to gather up the cattle, drive them back to the corrals, sort the mother cows and calves, brand, inoculate, and doctor the young males.

You'll feel like a real cowhand riding out for different herds -- long horns one day, then cows and we'll even go out for some bucking horses before heading back to the ranch.

We'll round out the week with a ride to the Canadian Boarder -smooth beautiful country along Lake Koocanusa, to Stryker Peak or Krinklehorn territories - mountainous rides with steep climbs.
