Plaid Swan Ranch and Cottages is a magical environment that allows visitors to enjoy a unique and beautiful stay in Northwestern Montana. We guarantee that you will not find any other place quite like this!   The facilities and grounds will provide a first rate and exceptional experience for a private sanctuary getaway. 

Breathtaking views of the Swan Mountain Range and famed Jewel Basin abound from this 60 acre property with a seasonal creek meandering peacefully through the meadow and forested areas.  The 2.4 million acre Flathead National Forest, Echo Lake and the Jewel Basin are minutes away featuring fishing, hunting, hiking, numerous lakes, streams, and rivers to enjoy.

The properties roots were initially grounded in one of the many Christmas tree farms in the Flathead Valley which you will distinguish many older trees still allowed to grow on the grounds to create the private oasis surrounding the various cottages.

Guests can explore the properties features like the forest, the working llama and alpaca ranch as well as the pond and lavender farm and the beautifully landscaped grounds.  We encourage our visitors to interact with the animals including mini Sicilian donkeys as well as the hens that occupy Cluckingham Palace.

The pond features seasonal waterfowl and other wildlife and allows you to enjoy a refreshment or a book near the water on the chaise lounges in the water’s edge stone patio.  The fern gully is a quiet refuge to sit and relax in the shade of a forest garden featuring daffodils, woodland violets and ferns of all varieties with special reading or sitting rocks throughout as well as a lichen rich octagon picnic table nestled in the birch trees.
