CM Ranch

Lodging

The charming and historic log cabins are spaced along the stream and around large, well-kept lawns. Cabins have 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms and private baths. Four attractive log houses are also available as guest accommodations. Houses have two or three bedrooms, two or more baths, living rooms with fireplaces, washers and dryers. Our recreation building is made up of a series of rooms for reading, games, ping-pong, music and card games. Phones and Internet connection for guest use are located in a central area near the ranch office. Same day laundry service is available for a small fee.

Activities

During the day, you can ride, fish, hike, swim or relax with a book, as you please. Each person is furnished with a horse matched to his or her ability, and a comfortable western saddle. The CM has an exceptionally fine string of horses, both gentle and spirited, suitable for the beginner or the expert rider. During the week you will have an opportunity to go on an all-day ride, early morning breakfast ride, and test your horsemanship skills in the gymkhana. The CM owns four miles of Jakey's Fork, the stream which runs through the ranch, allowing guests to fish privately for rainbow, brook and brown trout. Nearby is the famous Wind River and glacier fed lakes. Our resident angler is available for lessons and guided fishing (extra) or you may fish on your own. There is excellent hiking on the ranch lands, or the adjacent Fitzpatrick Wilderness, where you may walk along waterfalls and see many alpine wildflowers. You may wish to spend an afternoon hunting for rocks and fossils. The ranch has a heated outdoor pool and spa. A professional cowboy music group performs once a week, and there is a visit by a local historian. On the ranch there are areas for volleyball, ping-pong, softball, basketball and horseshoes. The town of Dubois hosts a square dance one evening a week. Saturday evenings we have an outdoor cookout at a lovely location near the ranch. A trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks can be included from a day's excursion from the ranch. Many of our guests enjoy shopping at the unique stores in town or golfing at Dubois's challenging course. Three day or longer pack trips are available (extra) to our exclusive and remote base camp near Moon Lake in the Wind River Mountains (pack trips are popular and should be booked early).

Children

Children have a great time getting to know each other, and many life-long friendships begin at the CM Ranch. All ages are welcome. Children 5 years and older may ride. Our experienced "kiddy wrangler" will ride with the children and provide excellent instruction. Babysitting is available for infants and younger children, and we have cribs and high chairs. All ages are encouraged to participate in a variety of family activities taking place each day.

Dining

All ages eat together in a large, attractive dining room furnished with Native American artifacts. Breakfast is cooked to order, featuring such items as homemade granola and fresh fruit, omelets, sourdough pancakes and freshly baked breads. Lunch is buffet and people enjoy eating in the shaded porches that overlook the stream, Jakey's Fork. Carefully prepared and well-balanced dinners are served family style. Vegetarian dishes are available, and special diets can be accommodated with advance notice.
