    Our time at the MRR with my wife and two sons, in celebration of a milestone birthday, was a marvelous experience that I plan to repeat next year

    Just finished another great stay at the Missouri River Ranch. Clay and his team provide an exceptional experience. Fishing was quite good, caught 10 on the dries on Thursday. The food was outstanding and the service was beyond compare.

    A wonderful experience our stay at the ranch. The service was fantastic and staff amazing! From the first hello to our last goodbye Clay was attentive, warm and gracious. Sophie’s warm smile and conversation was a delight. Her inventive drinks were delicious her smile engaging. Justin, the chef, his pork chop and bread pudding was unmatched. Zach our fishing guide was fun and fishy. Thank you to you all for a memorable trip.

    We recently took a group of 16 to Missouri River Ranch, and I can honestly say it was one of the best lodge experiences I’ve had. The hospitality, atmosphere, food, and overall operation were outstanding from start to finish. A special thank you to Clay, who told us this was his first season with the lodge. You never would have known it. He handled absolutely everything and somehow managed to take care of things we didn’t even realize we needed before we asked. His hospitality and attention to detail made the trip seamless. Sophie kept the bar lively every night with a great personality and even better bartending skills. The chef absolutely crushed every meal. I never thought I’d still be thinking about airline chicken days later, but here we are. Kelsi and the rest of the staff went above and beyond the entire trip and made our group feel at home from the moment we arrived. The fishing guides were all excellent—professional, personable, and fun to spend the day with. Fishing is fishing, and you always have to take weather and conditions as they come, but we caught solid numbers every day and the scenery on the river is second to none. Honestly, if someone finds something to complain about on that river, I don’t think they’d be happy anywhere. The lodge itself is set up perfectly for larger groups. The rooms were quiet, comfortable, well furnished, and the double rooms had plenty of space for two people. Overall, I would recommend Missouri River Ranch 100% and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    The MMR was one of the best experiences of my life. The opportunity to fish for three days in such a beautiful location with top‑notch guides was truly special. Each guide brought their own unique approach to fishing, and our group learned a great deal from them. Clay, the manager, and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. I will certainly be back and look forward to creating new memories in the future. Thank you all for an unforgettable experience.

    A great experience with a blend of luxury and rustic aesthetics throughout the property.

    In 40 years of trout and salmon fishing in the US and Europe I would rate the MRR as one of the best for food, hospitality and atmosphere. All staff were friendly, welcoming and exceptionally accommodating. I credit Jake and Cami with setting and maintaining the tone. All facilities were first class. Fishing is as fishing is and you have to accept the ups and downs with hatches, fish and weather. Guides were all polite and professional and good company to boot. I particularly liked the all inclusive program which prevented an accumulation of charges and possibly surprises at the end of your trip. I look forward to returning again.

    Excellent trip. The service, food and fishing were phenomenal. The location is breathtaking, love the e-bikes and easy access to shore fishing. Will definitely book again. Only recommendation is to talk with the lodge on which rooms are available as a few rooms may not have the amenities/view.

    The pictures on the website could do this place no justice!! Once you step foot in the ranch you are blown away by the absolutely stunning stonework of the fireplace and the beautiful bar!! The exceptional staff is there immediately to greet you and tend to any request you might have. And from that point on you can expect nothing short of top notch service and mouth watering dinner dishes that are unmatched! My brother and I had such an amazing time and would highly recommend you make this your ranch of choice!

    If you like great food and wine, friendly, professional service and great accommodations MRR is the place for you. My wife and I have stayed at many fishing oriented lodges over the years and came away from our recent, first visit saying this was the G.O.A.T. BTW, the fishing is wonderful too.

    Exceptional! Spacious modern rooms with A/C. Missouri River fishing was awesome, super clean water, big fish that all seemed to be 17-20 inches, plus other break-offs that were much bigger. The food at The Missouri River Ranch was fine dining quality, with everything unique and delicious. Hats off, we will be back!

    The best fly fishing stay experience you can get! My dad and I have been staying here for an annual trip the last few years and the Missouri River Ranch just gets better every time. If you enjoy fly fishing or want to start, this is the place to stay. Jake and Cammie are incredible. Everything is so well organized and they are on top of everything but the vibe is also so laid back. Every fly fishing guide we have had has been kind and experienced. Even on the toughest fishing day we would each catch 10+ beautiful trout. Accommodations are very comfortable, clean and views are great. The food is just perfection. Dinners are farm to table, local meat and fish and just 5 star across the board. Breakfast and lunch are quick and delicious. The service from everyone on the team is incredible. We look forward to this trip every year!

    Exceptional place, due in very large part to the charming and professional quality of Jake and Camille's management and hosting skills. Rooms are lovely, food is very good, ambience is warm, river is wonderful and fishing is normally very good (occasional bad weather or uncooperative fish being endemic to the sport). Plan ri make this a regular stop on our fishing adventures.

    Complete fly fishing rookie but the Missouri River Ranch was the best place to start. Beautiful location and perfect restoration of a Missouri River cow farm. Detailed rebuild was perfect. Buildings, rooms, bar and dining areas were magnificent with omnipresent views of the river, the hills and majestic Montana sky. Jake and Cammie were always making you feel like you were at home and making sure you had anything you needed. The setup with the guides made fishing so easy and enjoyable. Jodie and the kitchen staff had delicious meals with detailed preparation. The bar and fireplace were great hangout spots. Phenomenal fly fishing ambassadors made my trip change from a one hit wonder to an annual trip. Thank-you and keep the blueberry pancakes coming!

    My husband planned this trip to share with me his love of the area for fly fishing for the last 25+yrs. He searched for a place that would instill love for the Missouri and I feel he struck GOLD with this ranch! The room, amenities, ALL food and beverages, along with the wonderfully friendly and inviting staff made this place extra special! Jake and Cammie are so knowledgeable and helpful- and are so wise beyond their years! June makes wicked good Old Fashions and Chef Jodi’s dinners and desserts - beyond satisfying along with kindness of our hostess/server Cassie with such a great smile! Then the morning crew - equally fantastic! Trish and Megan and “Sir Chef” served up perfect breakfasts and packaged our lunch to go for later so nicely! Rooms are so well appointed- comfortable and spacious and ability to stay organized! So thankful to experience this slice of heaven on The Missouri- well done hiring all the right people!

    I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Missouri River Ranch. I don't even know where to start the compliments. The room was very spacious with a large bathroom, a super comfortable bed, a balcony that allows you to enjoy an incredible view of the mountains while observing the animals that live near the garden (ospreys, deers, pelicans, hares, etc...). Around the bar, preparations are made for the next day's fishing before dinner, and Jake patiently and enthusiastically takes the time to explain to novices the basics of fly fishing in the garden. Absolutely essential for those like me who have never tried the experience. The restaurant's meals are worthy of the best reviews, the variety, the beautiful presentation of the dishes, the quality of the ingredients and the talent of the chef promise a gastronomic experience comparable to the best restaurants. At dessert time, the smiling Camille comes to take orders for the next day's breakfast with a varied menu. After a restful night, the welcome at breakfast is very warm, and it is facing the sunrise that we taste what we have chosen the day before. Fruits, cereals, yogurts, pancakes, guacamole toast, the choice is perfect. Before leaving for the day of fishing, Jake and Camille present to everyone the guide who accompanies them for the day. It's time to choose the picnic that we will have on the boat. Again, the choice is wide and the sandwiches and salads are absolutely excellent. Without forgetting the cookies from the ranch, soft to perfection. Of course, this portion of Missouri offers excellent fishing opportunities, thanks also to the very professional guides chosen by the ranch. At the end of each day, a good coffee or a cold drink is welcome, always served with a smile from the staff who do an exceptional job. It's time to share with others the successes of the day, to read a good book in the park or to go for a nap before ending the day. The place is very quiet, in the heart of magnificent landscapes, and offers lovely walking routes. Craig is not far to go do some shopping in the fishing and souvenir shops. There are also picnic tables at the water's edge. In conclusion, the lodge is absolutely fantastic, the attention of Camille, Jake and the rest of the staff make each stay an unforgettable experience. Can't wait to come back!

    Way above my expectations. Great laid back atmosphere with awesome fishing and incredibly friendly staff. Huge shout out to chef Pat who cooked up some incredible food. Everything he made is good enough to sit in the best fine dining / Michelin restaurants and fits the ranch atmosphere perfectly. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

    Had an awesome long weekend at MRR, it’s a great location and feels remote while being close to Craig and great fishing. The staff was extremely friendly making you feel right at home, and meals and drinks were A+ (Jake makes a great smoked old fashioned). The fishing was unreal, we spent a day with Henry on the river and he put us right on top of fish after fish, both rainbows and browns. Will definitely be going back, hopefully early next season!

    Missouri River Ranch is a beautiful boutique hotel. The rooms are spacious and modern. MRR has one of the best views I've ever seen. The sunrises, sunsets, and rainbows had me in awe during my stay! All the staff members were kind and welcoming. General Manager Jake has one of the brightest smiles I have ever seen. He greeted me right when my car pulled up at the ranch. Chef Pat cooks the best New York steak I have ever had. Sous Chef Jodi is funny and personable. She truly cared about what I wanted for lunch when I went fly fishing. I loved all of her desserts as well. June is an awesome bartender! Trish was so kind when she served me breakfast. I really enjoyed talking to her! Missouri River Ranch sets the standard for fly fishing lodges around the world. They exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much for the amazing stay! I would recommend the hotel to any fly fishing enthusiasts!

    I had one of my best vacations at Missouri River Ranch. Every single staff member was extremely friendly and attentive. They are not overbearing and give you the tranquility that you may desire or you can have very informative conversations with the extremely helpful and friendly manager, Jake. He happens not only to run the ranch extremely well but is very knowledgeable about fly fishing and helped pair us up with an excellent guide. He knows the river so well and will advise his guests appropriately based on their individual experience. The food is absolutely delicious and plentiful. It’s so nice to eat a hearty breakfast in the lodge before a long day of fishing. The packed lunches were such a great treat during a busy day on the drift boat and when we hiked the other days. As great as the days were we couldn’t wait to return to the MRR for the happy hours and delicious dinners. The cocktails and wines served were so good. It is very evident that the staff enjoy working together which resulted in 5 Star hospitality. I can’t wait to return next year.

    food was not good, I do not eat meat and they could no deal with it. Overheard staff complaining about me. Was served same two meals in a row, frozen tuna. Was given peanut peanut butter sandwich for lunch. On the third night , I got a can of black beens on the side. To top it off, after 4 nights, They served me FRENCH OINION SOUP< I went to the check and asked if this was made with BEEF. OH I SORRY>
