Holland Peak Ranch is located in the picturesque community of Condon in Northwest Montana along the Swan River and Highway 83. The ranch lies between the Swan and Mission mountain ranges and is flanked by the Bob Marshall and Mission Mountains wilderness areas. Visit our Contact Us page for Google Map and directions.

Holland Peak Ranch is an easy 1-1/2 hour drive from two airports, Kalispell/ Glacier Park International (FCA) and Missoula International Airport (MSO). The route is on a scenic road that crosses through the Swan River Valley in either direction. If you are flying in on a private aircraft, please ask about airstrips in the area.

You will need to rent a vehicle to get to the ranch, as there is no airport transportation available. Both Kalispell and Missoula airports offer several car rental agencies on site. All three residences on the ranch are within a few minutes walking distance of each other, and walking and biking are the preferred methods of transportation while on the ranch.

The ranch is approximately 2 hours from the main entrance to Glacier National Park, and approximately 5 hours from the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park.

There are many outfitters in the area that offer everything from trail rides and deep woods hikes to dog sledding. Let us know if you are interested in these, and we will provide you with a list of recommended Outfitter companies in the area.
