Places to Eat & Be Merry
Located just 5 miles south of the ranch is the famous Grizzly Bar & Grill. It’s a great place to hold a rehearsal dinner or just have an opening party for your guests. Availability may be limited on weekends, but it may be available to rent the entire restaurant with plenty of advanced notice.
Another 5 mies south of the Grizzly Bar is Driftwood with casual dining and a full bar. Ennis boasts several bars and restaurants, a brewery and Willie’s Distillery where you may want to host a cocktail party.
Campfire Lodge and Resort, famous for their breakfasts, is a short drive along Earthquake Lake. The lake was formed on August 17, 1959 when caused a massive landslide of about 80 million tons across the Madison River, creating a natural dam.
Places to Stay
Your guests have numerous options to select from. Alegria is located adjacent to Sun West Ranch, a shared ranch community. Several homes on the ranch are available to rent directly from their owners. The beautiful Madison Double R resort is a favorite among those wishing to have the ultimate luxury stay in the Madison Valley. Additionally, there are many VRBO’s in the area as well as numerous hotels in Ennis and West Yellowstone. We’re happy to share our recommendations. When planning a wedding a year out, you may be able to rent out the whole El Western as we did for one of our daughter’s wedding.

Strolling around, visiting the shops and enjoying the eateries, is truly a step back in time. Virginia City was the first Territorial Capital in Montana.
Ennis is a typical Montana cowboy town. On the way to Virginia and Nevada cities, it’s a definite stop to make if you enjoy shopping, galleries and good food.
