Nine Quarter Circle Ranch

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.

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.

I had the greatest experience of my life at Nine Quarter Circle Ranch this September, not only did I celebrate my 68th birthday there but I also made new friends, fell in love with my horse, Conway, and had wonderful interactions with your staff. From Nancy, to the Wranglers, the housekeepers, the kitchen staff and with you, Kameron and your beautiful wife Sally, and even Mr Kim Kelsey himself. I felt so blessed in being privileged enough to stay at the Ranch but the experience I was afforded there was such a great gift that you and your family continue to share. I’m so grateful that there are people like you in this world who not only preserve and value nature in its most beautiful form but who allow others to share in that experience. I thank you so much for everything. My horse was perfect. My experience was perfect, and I will never forget my time at Nine Quarter Circle Ranch. Thank you.

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!

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
