First-class luxury in the heart of Montana

The Rainbow Ranch Lodge in Big Sky, Montana, truly offers the hospitality, intimacy and overall ambiance of a five-star lodge. Beginning with the warm welcome received by the staff to the freshly baked cookies waiting for you in your room to the unique western decor, it truly is an unforgettable experience. Whether traveling to Montana with family, significant other, or friends, when staying at the Rainbow Ranch, one will feel nothing short of complete and total relaxation.

Unique Quality: Montana, and especially Big Sky, has so much to offer such as the proximity to Yellowstone, and the plethora of summer and winter activities, which in turn make Rainbow a perfect getaway anytime of the year! Rainbows' on site five-star restaurant with its incredible presentation of wild game, beef, poultry, fresh flown in seafood, and vegetarian options makes it one of the best fine-dining experiences in the country, let alone the state! Bottom line, no matter whom you travel with and no matter why you travel, Rainbow Ranch Lodge, the restaurant and its staff will meet if not exceed your expectations of five-star lodging and dining!

More about Rainbow Ranch Lodge

Excellent Dining in Montana

by avidtraveler1 about Rainbow Ranch Lodge

From the moment you enter the Rainbow Ranch Lodge in Big Sky, Montana, its staff do an incredible job of making your night special. Whether one is in the mood for fresh flown in seafood, beef, wild game or a variety of vegetarian options, Chef Tom Donohoe prepares and presents dishes that suit everyones' palate. The wine list compares to some of the most extensive in the U.S., let alone in Montana, and the wine cellar, which is simply magnificent, seats up to fourteen people for dinner. It's difficult to decide when you love them all! If I had to choose from a few of the dishes, the Amaltheia Dairy Goat Cheese Ravioli is mouth-watering. It's unexpectedly light and simply melts in your mouth. Some of the popular meat dishes are the Gorgonzola-Crusted Bone-In Buffalo Rib-Eye along with the Elk Tenderloin. The fire-roasted vegetables over Winter Squash Masala are a perfect treat for vegetarians!

"Big Sky surroundings"

Between the beautiful mountains in both the summer and winter, and the proximity of West Yellowstone, Big Sky has plenty to satisfy everyones' needs. Just a few miles south of the town lies the Rainbow Ranch Lodge which serves as a luxury lodge that also houses a five-star restaurant on site. I visited the Rainbow for the first time in March of 2005 and was completely taken aback by the beauty of the place along with the hospitality of its staff. Its restaurant is simply divine. The rest of the information I'm providing is therefore to give more in-depth information regarding this charming gem in the heart of the West!
