Nestled in the Swan River State Forest just 7 miles south of Swan Lake, Swan Mountain Guest Ranch offers groomed cross country skiing runs for beginning, intermediate and advanced skiers, ice skating, and mountain trail access on over 30 kilometers of trails under lease with the state of Montana.

Pat & Joanne Tabor have enjoyed cross country skiing their whole lives, and have had the privilege of visiting many trails throughout the west. The Tabors designed their resort at Swan Mountain Ranch to emphasize the elements of the cross country skiing experience which they enjoy most: warming huts, rest stops, clear trail markings with readable maps, a variety of terrain with classic as well as skating trails, high-quality trail grooming and additional winter activities for non-skiers staying at our Guest Ranch.

Lodging at Swan Mountain Guest Ranch is very luxurious and unlike other venues in the area. Our most popular lodging option is our private guest cabin, where several families or small groups (up to 15) can stay with the entire cabin (and often the entire resort) to themselves.
