Three of us came for the snowmobiling. We had no experience. Our guide, Robert was great! He made it fun, interesting and with a variety of riding areas. He even started a fire and made us smores! We were not staying at the lodge, but all the staff made us feel welcome. This is a “must do” if you haven’t been snowmobiling before, or even if you have. I can see why they have people that come to this amazing lodge every year!

I haven’t had the chance to experience a trip with Montana High Country. However I’ve seen the place firsthand and met the folks who run it. Barbie and Jeff they’re first-class people through and through. You can tell when something’s built with heart, and that’s exactly what you feel here. Between the snowmobiling, bull elk and moose hunts, and more. Maverick mountain 2 miles historically has some of the best skiing in Montana , The pioneer Mountains has everything Montana stands for — wide-open beauty, adventure, and genuine people who love what they do. From what I’ve seen, their guides are top-notch, and the views are nothing short of breathtaking. With a 96% kill rate 2025. If you’re looking for a sporting excursion that delivers both world-class outdoors and down-to-earth hospitality, Montana High Country is it. I’m looking forward to the day I get to experience it for myself. Check it out

We just completed our second stay at Montana High Country, and once again, it did not disappoint! The snowmobiling experience was absolutely fantastic. They did an excellent job of breaking us into groups based on skill level, ensuring that everyone had a great time—whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider. The food was amazing! Each meal was delicious and satisfying, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The guides and house staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and their wealth of knowledge about the area truly enhanced our experience. We also discovered the local ski area, which is a hidden gem, and the hot springs were the perfect way to relax and unwind after a day of riding. Overall, our time at Montana High Country was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return for more adventures in the future!

Booked for much needed R&R for a day. Our stay was amazing and beyond hope and expectation! The rooms, food and hospitality were truly exceptional! Snowmobile trails were great, too. Definitely planning another trip to MHC!

You could not ask for a more beautiful and peaceful place to spend some time hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, horse riding, skiing/snowboarding, visiting hot springs, historic little towns, and just enjoying the super peaceful lodge. This place really offers up so much for anyone at any pace. We had a good sized crew of our family and friends out during snowmobile season and roddy and Aaron, and the other guides gave us the ride of our lives. They make sure your safe and have a great time with you. Food is wonderful, environment and staff are super friendly and funny and they make you feel right at home. We will be back next year!!!

We recently returned from our second trip to Montana High Country. This place is truly a slice of heaven. The owners, Aaron and Kim, have done an amazing job to create a warm and inviting environment. Rooms and accommodations are great. The view from the lodge is absolutely breathtaking. Barbie and Jeff prepare the most wonderful meals, and make sure you have anything and everything you could possibly need. Our snowmobile guides, Dustin, Caden, and Robert, are so knowledgeable, ensuring everyone has an amazing time on the trails. We are so thankful for everyone at Montana High Country and hope to return again next snowmobile season.

Montana High County Lodge hosted the Wild Med Adventures CME conference I attended with 12 others. Aaron and Kim are gracious hosts of their beautiful property with large comfortable rooms, and plenty of space to relax, or gather with others in front of the large fireplace. Jeff and Barbie prepared great meals, and easily accommodated special dietary choices. You will not go hungry during your stay. Dustin, Robert, and Kaden guided our snowmobiling adventures in the nearby Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest with the expertise you would expect. They handled everything from new to seasoned riders, everyone had a blast. If you prefer to ski, Maverick Mountain is just down the road and is a hidden gem of great skiing on uncrowded slopes at an amazingly affordable price. I will be returning to MHCL for more adventures. They also guide for fishing and hunting(bear, mule deer, elk, and more).

This Lodge was an amazing experience. It was more than I had ever expected it to be. The view there is just another reminder of how great our God is. The Chef and his lovely wife took great care of us and treated us like royalty. The guide Roddy, was fantastic and drove us around showed us amazing hospitality. We will be back.
