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.

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. 🐎🌄

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.

The ranch was one of the most peaceful , relaxing places I have ever visited . Time stood still in a majestic setting . The staff was warm, welcoming and willing to go above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable .
The cabins are cozy and quiet . No TVs to be found , and certainly not missed , given you come on this type of vacation to escape the real world .
The food was hearty and tasty. (Shout out for the cinnamon rolls !).The kitchen staff was beyond accommodating to meet any special requests .
It was obvious the wranglers took great pride in their jobs and truly loved what they did . The trail rides were spectacular and varied in terrain and views . The horses are well cared for .
Keep doing what you are doing 9 Quarter Circle !A vacation here is well spent money for many happy memories .

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
