Rainbow Ranch Lodge

Top choice in Bozeman & Gallatin Valley


Rustic but ultra-chic, Rainbow Ranch offers a select group of pondside or riverside rooms, most with roaring stone fireplaces, balconies and access to the romantic outdoor hot tub. The Pondside Luxury rooms are easily the most stylish. The lodge is 5 miles south of the Big Sky turnoff and 12 miles north of Yellowstone National Park.
