Glamping at Highland Ranch isn’t one-size-fits-all—and that’s intentional. Some guests come here to fully unplug and disappear into the quiet. Others want the same Montana landscape, with just a little more connection and convenience.
Both experiences are rooted in the same things: wide-open land, thoughtful design, and space to slow down. The difference is how you want to experience it.
Here’s how to decide between off-grid and on-grid glamping at Highland Ranch—and which stay fits you best.
Off-grid at Highland Ranch doesn’t mean roughing it. It means stepping into a more self-contained, nature-led experience—powered by the sun and shaped by the land around you.
Our off-grid Jupe tents are tucked closer to the river and set farther apart, offering a deeper sense of privacy and quiet.
Off-grid stays include:
This is the stay for guests who want fewer distractions and more presence. Nights are darker. Mornings are quieter. You notice the wind, the birds, the temperature shift as the sun comes up.
Off-grid glamping is right for you if:
It’s not about disconnecting completely—it’s about choosing what you reconnect to.
On-grid glamping offers the same design-forward experience, with easier access to shared spaces and modern conveniences.
Our on-grid accommodations—including mirrored cabins and select Jupe tents—are closer to the Lounge, bathrooms, and gathering areas, making them ideal for guests who want comfort without complication.
On-grid stays include:
On-grid glamping is often chosen by first-time glampers, couples celebrating something special, or guests staying as part of a wedding or retreat.
On-grid glamping is right for you if:
It’s still Montana. Still quiet. Just with a softer learning curve.
If you’re deciding between off-grid and on-grid, it’s worth mentioning the ÖÖD mirrored cabins—our most design-forward accommodations.
These cabins are fully on-grid, climate-controlled, and intentionally placed to reflect the surrounding landscape rather than interrupt it. Floor-to-ceiling mirrored glass brings the outdoors in while maintaining privacy.
They’re often chosen for:
If architecture and interiors matter to you as much as location, this is likely your match.
Still unsure? These seasonal cues can help.
Summer (June–September):
Off-grid shines for guests who want river access, long evenings by the fire, and a more immersive outdoor experience.
Shoulder Seasons (May & October):
On-grid stays offer warmth, convenience, and comfort as temperatures shift—without losing the landscape.
Winter & Cooler Weather:
On-grid accommodations and mirrored cabins are the most comfortable choice, with full heating and easy access to amenities.
No matter which you choose, every stay at Highland Ranch is grounded in the same philosophy:
You’re not choosing between better or worse. You’re choosing between quiet immersion and easy comfort—both equally intentional.
Some guests know immediately what they want. Others talk it through with us—and that’s part of the experience.
If you’re planning a special trip, booking for a group, or just want guidance, we’re always happy to help you choose the stay that fits how you want to feel while you’re here.
