ABO Lodge, Cabins, Western Cottage Activities
ABO Lodge, Cabins and Western Cottage are located on Cross Triangle Ranch, a working cattle and sheep ranch, in Big Timber, MT. We offer comfortable affordable lodging from which to base your explorations in Big Sky Country. Absaroka-Beartooth Outfitters headquarters is also located on the ranch and offers lodge, cabin and cottage guests a variety of fun activities to fill their days. Activities include horseback rides, fishing, floats on the Yellowstone River and ATV tours on our working cattle and sheep ranch. If you want to help feed the sheep or move a few cows, we can always use an extra hand. The extra hand is not always available due to the changing ranch schedule. Helicopter rides to access a day in the mountains are also available. You choose, we provide the experience. Families welcomed!
The Lodge, Cabins and Cottage are available for family gatherings, special events and wedding parties as well. Call 406-931-0102 or 406-579-3866 to start planning your event.
