Accommodations

Comfortable and Secluded Montana Lodging

Each of our packages includes comfortable accommodations in our Montana lodge or private cabins, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Ruby Valley. Located near Alder, Montana (population 109), the drive along the scenic Ruby River Road brings you into a landscape surrounded by the Snowcrest, Gravelly, and Greenhorn mountain ranges. As you leave town behind, the noise of everyday life fades and the quiet of Montana’s backcountry takes over. When you arrive at Upper Canyon Outfitters, you’ll find a warm welcome, beautiful surroundings, and a relaxing place to unwind after a day of fly fishing, hunting, horseback riding, or exploring.

Our Lodge

When you arrive at Upper Canyon Outfitters, our welcoming Montana lodge sits at the heart of the ranch, featuring a spacious front porch with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains—perfect for relaxing and taking in the fresh Ruby Valley air. The lodge serves as the central gathering place for guests. Enjoy coffee in the morning, pre-dinner appetizers, or evenings shared with friends and fellow guests. Hearty, family-style meals are served daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with menus featuring locally sourced beef and seasonal produce.

Inside, the lodge includes a cozy living room, dining area, and full kitchen, along with six private guest rooms. Each room offers comfortable beds, a mini-fridge, and private or semi-private bathrooms, providing a relaxing and convenient stay in the heart of southwest Montana.

Meals – Come and Get It

Each day at UCO begins and ends with a hearty family-style meal in our lodge dining room. Mealtimes are a chance to share stories, connect with fellow guests, and talk about the day ahead or the adventures behind you.

Each meal is a three-course experience, starting with a fresh salad, followed by a generous main entrée, and finishing with a sweet dessert—plenty to satisfy every appetite. Guests with special dietary needs or food allergies can simply let us know at booking so we can accommodate their requests.

Cheers

Please feel welcome to bring your favorite alcoholic beverages for cocktail hour and meal time. If you’re a UCO shuttle passenger coming in from the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, just ask your driver to stop by the local liquor store to give you a chance to stock up on all your favorites before you get to the ranch.
