Hardscrabble Ranch is a guest ranch only thirty minutes away from either Bozeman or Livingston while still isolated from the bustle of human activity. At the base of the Bridger Mountains on Brackett Creek, you can enjoy stunning views of Ross Peak and close access to Bridger Bowl.

Groups up to twenty-four can stay in the Brackett lodge and Bridger lodge. Each Lodge has comfortable beds, shared bathrooms, well-equipped kitchens and large common areas. We ask for a minimum two-night stay,

Seasonally, we have 15 glamping tents with comfortable king or twin beds. They are tucked away along beautiful Brackett Creek, providing a serene experience with nature.

The venue includes an outdoor pavilion style cooking area and fire pit as well as access to our 45 acres of Brackett creek frontage with fishing and 20 acres (over 2 miles) of hiking/biking trails. We also have a wood heated 4800 square foot barn for access during the cooler season, after nightfall or in case of inclement weather. We have ping pong, foosball, cornhole and horseshoe games. We also provide an onsite instructor for ax throwing. There are also a ton of hiking, biking, fishing, rafting and of course Yellowstone National Park nearby. Hardscrabble Ranch is home to dogs, pigs, chickens, yaks and horses.

Our venue is a perfect place for a weekend wedding experience, family reunion or corporate retreat. We have high speed internet and an on-site planner.

Reviews

We had a blast at hardscrabble ranch! We were lucky enough to win a stay at the ranch at the BSF auction. Peter and Kris were extremely friendly and willing to help with anything we may need! They provided an incredible meal for the whole 20 person group! There was plenty of room in the lodges for all of us to stay comfortably. Very easy access to Bridger Bowl nice to skip the traffic coming from the other side of the resort! Would highly recommend hardscrabble ranch for any type of event!

We had our October 2024 wedding at Hardscrabble Ranch and it was absolutely full of joy. The weather was miraculously perfect, the venue is naturally gorgeous, and we loved having the onsite lodging for close friends and family to spend the weekend with us. Beyond the good weather luck and beauty of the space, what really made our wedding magical was the staff! Chris and her team went above and beyond to make things run smoothly and to ensure that anything that came up didn't become a problem for us so we could be present with our guests. I had a completely stress-free wedding because of all their hard work and flexibility and can't recommend working with them enough.

11/10!! Just had my extended family visit for Christmas, and we chose Hardscrabble Ranch as our “Home-base.” The ranch is beautiful! The lodges were cozy and perfect, and we had more than enough room for the 16 of us. It was great to go and see the animals and enjoy the trails on the side of the mountain whenever we felt like getting some fresh air and good views. You can definitely tell the staff put in A LOT of effort to make sure all our needs were met. We never even needed to ask! The rooms/common area was clean and ready to go with WIFI, TV, board games, ping pong, etc. I would definitely recommend Hardscrabble to anyone planning a family gathering/event like ours! Thank you!!

The HardScrabble Ranch was perfect for our family reunion. The kitchen and big rooms were stocked with everything we needed. There were clean, private bedrooms for all 16 members of our family, with a view of Ross Peak from our window, and plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. Peter and Chris were great hosts and made sure everything was OK. We enjoyed visiting with them and with their yaks, horses and pig.

Hardscrabble Ranch is hands down one of the best wedding venues in Bozeman. The team is easy to work with and provides a phenominal experience for their clients. As a wedding photographer, I am always stoked when I get to work at Hardscrabble. I know the team will make the day run smoothly and provide the couple with an incredible wedding day!
