Canyon Creek Guest Ranch offers a rare opportunity for recreational enthusiasts to own a private retreat just outside Melrose, Montana. Tucked into the East Pioneer Mountains between Sheriff Mountain and Black Lion Mountain, this property includes a main lodge and five additional cabins situated along the banks of Canyon Creek—an ideal setting for any alpine adventure.
This property is a haven for outdoor lovers. Whether you’re an angler, hiker, hunter, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the wilderness, there’s something here for you. With eight alpine lakes and multiple streams within a half-day's hike and major Montana rivers—such as the famed Big Hole River—just a short drive away, the location is a paradise for anglers. Miles of nearby trails offer stunning views of the Pioneer Mountains and surrounding valleys, ideal for hiking and mountain biking.
In the fall, the ranch becomes a hunter’s dream. Located in Montana Hunting District 331, this area is known for its trophy bull elk and mule deer. Horseback riders can also enjoy the vast beauty of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, with the ranch offering access to scenic backcountry routes and remote alpine lakes.
A Forest Service–maintained road provides year-round access to the ranch for both vehicles and snowmobiles. During the winter months, Canyon Creek Guest Ranch transforms into a snowmobiler’s paradise and a peaceful setting for cross-country skiing. Located near the renowned Vipond Park, the ranch offers unbeatable access to winter recreation, complete with wood-burning stoves and snowy mountain views.
Experience Montana as it used to be—in a quiet, private setting surrounded by the wild beauty of the Pioneer Mountains.
