The Ranch

Your Augusta ranch house awaits.

Built from board-and-batten ranch construction, Blackwater Creek Ranch House sits in the Rocky Mountain Front with the valley opening below the ridge. A ranch house that trades crowds for quiet — wake to elk in the meadow.

Sleeping 8 across 4 bedrooms, it centers on open-plan country kitchen and opens onto a deck made for long evenings. It is a true escape — close enough to town for supplies, far enough to forget the week.

The Area

Augusta & beyond.

Blackwater Creek Ranch House sits in the Rocky Mountain Front, with the Sun River a short walk away and Bob Marshall Wilderness rising beyond it. Trout water, miles of trail, and quiet back roads start right outside. The town of Augusta — cafés, supplies, and a good meal — is about 9 minutes by car, and Great Falls (GTF) is roughly 53 min out.

Exactly the kind of quiet we needed. We barely left the porch — the valley opening below the ridge, coffee in hand, nowhere to be. Blackwater Creek Ranch House is the real thing.

Photos do not do the ranch house justice. Woke to elk in the meadow two mornings running.

Good to Know

Good to know.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM, both self-service with a smart-lock code we send the morning you arrive. Our caretaker lives nearby and is always a call away if you need a thing.

Yes — two well-behaved dogs are welcome with a small cleaning fee. There is room to roam right out the door, so just let us know at booking and we will have them in mind.

A 2-night minimum most of the year, rising over peak summer and holiday weekends. Reach out for shorter mid-week gaps between bookings — we can sometimes fit a single night in.

You are 9 minutes from Augusta for groceries, fuel, and a hot meal, and about 53 min from Great Falls (GTF). Quiet and private, but never stranded.

You are not charged when you request to book — we confirm dates first, then collect 50% to hold the ranch house, with the balance due 30 days out. Cancel at least 7 days before check-in for a full refund, less the booking fee.
