What sets us apart from other
Bighorn River Lodges?
Big Horn Valley Ranch was first founded under the name of Garrison Stoker Resort back in 2013. What started as just a simple restaurant has now grown into a beautiful full-service lodge and fly-fishing guide service that hosts people from far and wide looking to experience Montana's incredible Bighorn River! The ranch has become a central part of the Bighorn Valley and has helped grow this small community in a big way over the past decade.
This rich history and inspiring story of growth make our lodge a special place, and the transformation from Garrison Stoker Resort into Big Horn Valley Ranch is an exciting continuation of this story!
