Reply to "9 luxurious fall escapes"

Big skies and big views beckon at this all-inclusive ranch 90 minutes from Missoula in western Montana. From the food to the rooms, the entire experience is a thoughtful blend of Western adventure and lavish luxury.

The accommodations, which include a lodge, barn, houses and glamping cabins, have the coziness of a log cabin, yet because of ample sunlight, still manage to be airy. The decor features hardwood floors, ornate rugs and just the right amount of leather, with small touches -- such as a cow hide here, a throw pillow there -- that make it feel Western without being cheesy.

In keeping with its roots, the 6,600-acre ranch offers an abundance of activities such as horseback riding, fly fishing and shooting. Its annual Autumn Harvest Weekend takes place from October 12 to 15 and includes an intimate performance by LeAnn Rimes, farm-to-table meals, sampling of local ciders and a barn dance. (Rates start at $2,000 per accommodation, per night, plus a 20% ranch fee.)
