JULY 23, 2009 - The 320 Guest Ranch has announced it has completed an extensive renovation program and technology upgrade for the historic 110-year-old property. John Richardson, general manager, made the announcement.
"The 320 Guest Ranch has been receiving guests for well over a century, and we pride ourselves on delivering the most authentic western guest ranch experience possible --whether for families, special events, couples or corporate gatherings," said Mr. Richardson. "We're so pleased that we can also provide guests with 21st Century technology and comfort throughout their stay at the ranch."
Renovations announced range from facility enhancements, new guestroom packages and technology upgrades, to refurbishing the 320 Ranch Steak House restaurant, menu and wine list upgrades, and the installation of a large tented event pavilion.
Specific details of the renovation include:
o New roofs on all guest accommodations
o New soft goods in each guest cabin and guestroom, featuring new bed linens and comforters
o Flat screen TVs installed in several guest cabins and guestrooms
o Wireless Internet access installed in all guest accommodations and public spaces, as well as in the ranch special events & conference center
o New furnishings throughout the special events / conference center, including new tables / desks and chairs
o Elegant 1800-square-foot tented pavilion added to host large events for up to 200 guests
o New 320 Ranch Steak House furnishings, as well as new china, glass and silverware
o New menu concept in the 320 Ranch Steak House restaurant
o New and significantly expanded wine list in the restaurant for general dining and special events
The 320 Guest Ranch, which is nestled in the heart of the Gallatin River Valley, has invested well over $1 million on the enhancements across the property. The Gallatin Mountain Range surrounds the historic ranch and the Gallatin River, one of the top five fly-fishing trout streams in the world, flows directly through the property just steps away from modern river front cabin accommodations.
The 320 Guest Ranch offers 60 modern and comfortable cabin accommodations, many with wood-burning fireplaces (wood is supplied), as well as an authentic Saloon and the 320 Ranch Steak House restaurant, featuring superb game specialties of the house prepared by their talented new chef, Mike Ayers.
At the 320, summer and fall activities on and around the ranch abound, including trail riding, fly fishing, chuckwagon barbecues, and excursions to and throughout Yellowstone National Park, located just 30 minutes away.
In the winter season, activities include world-class downhill skiing at Big Sky and Moonlight Basin, sleighing, snowshoeing and x-country skiing. Winter excursions into Yellowstone National Park can also be arranged.
