À La Carte Lodging at B Bar Ranch
West Bunkhouse
The West Bunkhouse is a cozy, six-bedroom log house in the heart of the ranch, perfect for winter stays. It comfortably sleeps 8, with two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living area, and washer/dryer. The main floor includes three queen bedrooms and a twin room, while upstairs offers another queen and two twin beds (convertible to a king)—ideal for unwinding after a day of winter activities.
West Wing
The West Wing is a cozy, winter-ready apartment attached to the main lodge. It features a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo, a small kitchen with apartment-sized appliances, and two bedrooms. One bedroom has a queen bed, while the second can be arranged with either a king bed or two twins to suit your needs. The comfortable living and dining area provides a welcoming space to relax in after a day out in the snow.
Self Catering Convenience
Both the West Wing and West Bunkhouse feature fully equipped kitchens, offering the convenience of preparing meals on your schedule.
Ranch to Table Dining
At the B Bar, we believe that good food is an essential part of any stay. Our winter guests are treated to nourishing, ranch-to-table meals, featuring organic, locally sourced ingredients. Our on-site chef prepares wholesome and hearty dishes, many of which feature our own certified organic, grass-fed grass-finished beef. Dining here is not just a meal, but a celebration of Montana’s rich agricultural heritage.
