Nine Quarter Circle Ranch

From start to finish, everything about this ranch was incredible. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special — truly some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Audrey, our server, was so attentive and always had a smile on her face. Nancy at guest services was wonderfully kind and helpful, making sure every detail was taken care of. The wranglers were amazing — knowledgeable, fun, and they made each trail ride an experience to remember. The horses were so well cared for, and watching them run across the pasture in the morning was absolutely breathtaking. The food was delicious and felt homemade with love after long, adventure-filled days. The property itself is stunning — surrounded by mountains, open skies, and views that make you stop and take a deep breath. The hike up Lincoln on our last day was the perfect ending to an unforgettable trip. I can’t recommend 9 Quarter Circle Ranch enough — it’s a truly special place that captures the heart of Montana. 🐎🌄

I have been to NQC twice, and plan to go back every year until I can no longer mount a horse. Here are the things I love: The food is great, and they accommodate all of my food sensitivities The family that owns the ranch is friendly, smart, service minded. I wish that I had known them my entire life. The staff is very responsive to all my needs. The administrator Nancy makes getting settled in your cabin a breeze The horses are soooooo well trained The wranglers are skilled, friendly, and understand everybody’s limitations The water in the showers is so hot, a great way to relax after a long ride The scenery is beautiful It’s so quiet and dark at night that I sleep like a baby I love seeing the wildlife By the time you leave, you feel like you’re part of the family It’s easy to get there from Bozeman

I recently visited the ranch with a group of women called Dare to Detour. I'm in hospitality and wanted to experience this ranch for my client's future incentive trips and meetings. I highly recommend this Dude ranch for incentive company trips, or meetings, where you want to have networking and team building. This property provided exceptional service and activities for all levels. The horseback riding was top-notch, and the level of service exceeded all my expectations. Great food and hospitality from all the staff at this Ranch. The cabins are all equipped with our own fireplace and super comfortable beds. The main lodge has plenty of room for smaller group gatherings, where all the meals take place. This property is also a perfect family vacation dude ranch where all ages and abilities can enjoy. The setting is between a valley and a mountain range, next to a river and a private pond. Every ride had the most scenic Montana beauty I have ever seen. I highly recommend this beautiful family-owned ranch for your next business or family retreat.

The staff and quests were wonderful, making it a cherished memory. The wranglers, fishing guides and kitchen staff created a very enjoyable experience. The schedule of events was perfect. It would have been great to travel once during the week to the Gallatin River for fly fishing. It may have occurred but we chose the two rides a day. The fishing river that runs through the ranch was very good to fish, and the cold plunge in the river at the end of the day was epic. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the front porches on the cabins made the community. The clean cabins are rustic but perfect for a dude ranch.

We travelled as a family of 5 with 3 kids with basically no riding experience and had a really great time at Nine Quarter Circle Ranch-everything was wonderful from the location, the food & the cabins -but most of all the the people were really great-from the owners, the staff and also the other guests! Not to forget the always patient and well trained horses. The atmosphere is just really special for kids and adults. Loved the daily happy hour before dinner when kids were kept busy by the great kiddie-wrangler and babysitter! Also the Campfire was great with all guests and staff attending..My favourite was probably the line dance - so much fun! I can really recommend this very special place!
