Montana is definitely full of unique accommodations, from farm stays to treehouses and even a covered wagon. But renting out an entire castle seems like the ultimate one-of-a-kind experience. And you can book out this entire abode, which sleeps up to 12 guests, for as little as $977 per night. And for all the perks you'll receive, that's actually quite a deal.
The Castle Retreat is located in Columbia Falls in the midst of a secluded 10-acre wooded property.
You can always reconvene in the massive dining room, which features an old-world china closet and an oversized table and chairs, after cooking a gourmet meal in the full kitchen.
The home is decked out in stunning ornate details that will make you feel surrounded by lavish luxury.
You'll find them spread out among the East Tower (80 feet above the forest floor with nearly 360-degree views) and the West Tower, also known as the Rapunzel Tower.

An undeniable allure draws people to the sprawling wilderness that can be found only in Montana. One ranch offers a true immersion into this wild world: Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in the small community of Emigrant.
Gather around the campfire with your best girlfriends as you embark on the getaway of a lifetime offered at this luxurious ranch. Horse lovers, this is the adventure for you.
Since its opening in 1929, Mountain Sky Guest Ranch has maintained its status as one of the top-rated luxurious ranch resorts in the country.
This beautiful ranch is situated on 17,000 acres of unspoiled landscape within Gallatin National Forest. It boasts breathtaking mountain views in all directions.
The ranch offers a selection of Wild West packages, but the Wild West Women Adventure provides adult women ages 21 and up with an opportunity to explore the land in the way of the cowgirl. Saddle up, pick your horse, and get to riding!
But first, let's talk lodging. There are a variety of rustic cabin options of all sizes, starting as small as the one-bedroom Pony Cabin shown here, and upwards to 3-bedroom cabins, or you can alternatively stay at the main lodge.
Regardless of which lodging option you and your girlfriends select, you'll be treated to luxurious comfort, plentiful amenities, fine dining, and unlimited outdoor recreation.
Shown here is the beautiful master bedroom of the Tower duplex cabin. Clearly, comfort is the name of the game at Mountain Sky Guest Ranch.
During your girls-only getaway, you'll be treated to daily trail rides, various unique horsemanship activities, and educational interactive demonstrations.
The herb and dijon-crusted rack of lamb is a favorite among guests with its mustard spaetzle, broccolini, and minted yogurt. It's enough to get your mouth watering just looking at it!
You'll have ample opportunity to hike and explore the endless natural beauty that is found in Gallatin National Forest. Yellowstone National Park is only a short drive away and is sure to be one of the most memorable aspects of your adventure package. Speaking from experience, Yellowstone is by far my favorite national park in the country. Seeing the wildlife and watching the geysers erupt is an otherworldly experience you cannot miss.
There are three sets of dates listed for the Wild West Women Adventure in 2025, so be sure to inquire and reserve your spot quickly before they sell out. The experience starts at a rate of $3,250 per person, which includes five nights of lodging, meals, a tour of Yellowstone National Park, on-ranch activities (horseback riding, golf, guided hiking, yoga, archery, and fly fishing instruction), as well as airport transportation. Rates also include the use of all ranch facilities and amenities, such as the heated pool, hot tub, grotto, steam room, sauna, and tennis court.
