Big Hat Ranch is a Montana vacation rental property for serious anglers or family vacations. Whitetail deer, moose, a resident family of bobcats, pheasants, partridge and other wild life
abound on the property. The property has a two acre pond with recalculating stream. The pond is stocked with rainbows & browns -- they were yearlings in 2006. The Big Hat Ranch is a
great vacation place for family vacations or for serious fly fishermen who want to do their own thing. Big Hat Ranch has just listed with AmericanFlyFishingVacations.com.
There are beautiful views of snow capped Tobacco Rt Mt. from the property. The ranch has 1/4 mile of Willow Creek frontage and the wooded bottom land with feeders and observation tent for
wildlife viewing/photography is a short walk from the house. Big Hat Ranch is available for lease during hunting season, but no discharging of firearms on the property is allowed, as we
are fostering a wildlife preserve. Mowed trails provide walks to observe the animals and birds.
Accommodations:
Main house is approximately 2400 sq ft, and the log cabin is about 800 sq ft including front and back porches. The house was new in 2000 and it was totally upgraded in 2005. The main
house has a great room open to a well equipped kitchen and 180-degree panoramic views of the surroundings. Deer frequently bed down in the yard. The upstairs has two bedrooms and a full
bath. The ranch recently added a window seat/bed in each room along with queen sized extra long bed topped by a single top bunk.
The ranch added the new log cabin last summer. A new well and septic system were added at that time -- water and plumbing are top notch. The cabin has a small but well equipped kitchen,
bath and two single beds in the loft. The sofa converts to a sleeper and even has a pillow top mattress. The back porch faces the pond and the front overlooks the Tobacco Rt
Mountains.
