Nightly Stays Open October 12, 2025 through April 6, 2026

The Best of Whitefish, All in One Place

As the leaves turn golden and snow starts to fall, the Bar W Guest Ranch becomes one of Whitefish’s best-kept seasonal escapes. Nestled at the base of Spencer Mountain, and just 15 minutes from Whitefish Mountain Resort, 5 minutes from downtown Whitefish, and 20 minutes from Glacier Park International Airport, it’s the perfect base for your fall or winter Montana adventures.

In autumn, enjoy crisp mountain air and quiet evenings under wide-open skies. When winter arrives, trade hiking boots for snow boots and explore it all - skiing, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, and cozy nights by the fire. Skip the hassle of driving–pre-arranged complimentary shuttles will make it easy to get to the slopes or into town.

Whether you’re here for a ski trip, a weekend getaway, or a family adventure, the Bar W Guest Ranch is your perfect Montana basecamp. Enjoy comfort, convenience, and true Western hospitality, all just minutes from downtown Whitefish and Whitefish Mountain Resort.

Free shuttle to town, ski area and Glacier Park International Airport (FCA)
Daily breakfast and hearty ranch dinners served in the Horseshoe Dining Hall
