You just can't beat this place. I've been going out to Montana for a number of years with my family and this is far and away the best place we've ever stayed. The ranch itself is awesome -- horses, cows, sheep, great scenery, perfect MT cabins, areas for walking, ATV/horse rides. But you really can't beat the location. You've got all the solitude and peace of the ranch and then it's just an easy drive to downtown Helena -- as well as short drives to unbelievable fly fishing (Missouri River & tons of other smaller rivers/creeks) and outdoor rec areas. Matt and Starr are great hosts and it's easy to see how dedicated they are to keeping the ranch well maintained and taking great care of their animals. Thanks for everything and we'll see you for our next trip in the Spring 2026!

This was hands down the best trail ride ever! Matt and Star are absolutely wonderful hosts who made us feel so comfortable from the very start. Their horses are not only beautiful but clearly very well taken care of (and a little spoiled, which we loved!). The ride was peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect way to enjoy the quiet beauty that Montana has to offer. If you’re visiting, don't skip this!

Pull the trigger and book it!
Hats off to Matt and Starr for what they have built and their exceptional hosting. This place is a gem and the glamping tent is a must do. Skip the hotels and dont worry about the short and beautiful drive from the ranch to town, it's well worth it.

Awesome property. I was there for a welcome party and a wedding - both were beautifully executed. Star and Matt are very hands-on and made sure every aspect of the events was perfect.

Our stay at Summer Starr Ranch was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were met with amazing hospitality and top-notch service that made us feel completely at home. Matt and Starr are the most incredible people. The accommodations were both unique and incredibly comfortable, blending rustic charm with modern touches in all the right ways.
The food exceeded all expectations—every meal was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The entire property is beautifully maintained, offering stunning views and peaceful surroundings that made it hard to leave.
A definite highlight was the ATV tour—fun, scenic, and a great way to explore the ranch and surrouding areas. It’s an experience you absolutely don’t want to miss!
We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Just outside Helena, Montana, Summer Star Ranch offers an authentic, raw Montana experience surrounded by breathtaking views. The natural beauty of the landscape is truly something to behold — expansive skies, rugged terrain, and that untouched wilderness feeling.
Mark, our host, was exceptional. He made sure every need was met with genuine kindness and attentiveness. After an incredible trail ride through stunning scenery, Mark even started a fire and offered a refreshing beverage, making the experience all the more memorable and relaxing.
If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the true spirit of Montana, Summer Star Ranch is the perfect place to do it. Can not wait to go back with my family. Thank you for the best time!

What a beautiful and fun experience!! A group of 6 of us took the 2 hour atv tour and loved every minute of it. We saw wildlife and amazing landscape. The ride is appropriate for all ages and skill levels and stops are made to tell you about the area. Matt and Star are informative and an absolute pleasure!!! Go to this ranch for a ride, you will not regret it.

We stopped here to break up our ride from Glacier to Yellowstone and it was great! We did a UTV ride and the scenery was incredible. You can tell the owners love their property and love what they do. They have so much knowledge about the area. They even gave us find a place to find moose in Yellowstone (and it worked!). The property is pristine, we only wish we knew that they have cabins prior to booking cause we would have loved to stay!

Amazing service from the very begining. Responded quickly to setting up a day/time for a ride. Spent the morning of wedding anniversary on a scenic ride. My wife really enjoyed it. It was her first time riding an ATV and didn't have any issues. Star was very helpful the entire time and even inserted some historical facts and lore. We had a great time!!!

I would highly recommend booking an ATV tour with summer Star ranch. We had an amazing time and the views were just breathtaking! We were able to go at whatever pace we felt comfortable with and enjoyed. When we go back next time we want to stay in the glamping tent!

Just had an absolutely amazing time. Star was our ride guide and did a great job. From start to finish it was 100% fun. She new so much about the area and the scenery was off the charts ??. The ATV’s were late model and well maintained. Thanks Summer Star ranch for a bucket list memory.
