About

Little Smith Creek Ranch

Escape to this wild and beautiful place in Montana!

Little Smith Creek Ranch is a place for rest, reflection, and celebration – whether for a work or group gathering, wedding, family reunion or concert. Magnificent views of the Bitterroot Mountains and the Sapphire Range are ever-present and inspiring.

This beautiful 80-acre property is located just northwest of Victor, Montana in the famous Bitterroot Valley, the ancestral home of the Salish Indians. The site includes remains of a homestead cabin and apple orchard that reminds us of the apple cider heyday at the turn of the 20th Century. The Valley’s cider glory and other small farm, dairy, craft cheese-makers, distilleries and breweries are enjoying a resurgence today, along with the ever-present and legendary fly-fishing.

Little Smith Creek runs through the center of the ranch and Smith Creek borders it, joining in the ceremony grounds. The rushing sound of the creeks in this lovely riparian area combines with shade to provide respite to a variety of wildlife – and you.

This year-round venue welcomes you regardless of season – changing its wardrobe to delight you and your guests anytime.

Welcome – to Little Smith Creek Ranch!
