Sage Lodge is a full-service destination lodge located in Pray, Montana, offering a curated collection of outdoor adventures and culinary experiences. The property arranges guided fly fishing excursions on premier waters such as the Yellowstone River and Madison River with transportation, complimentary gear, and meals included. Private Yellowstone tours are available year-round, led by expert naturalist guides and tailored to guest interests with summer and winter options.
Guests can enjoy a luxury float experience on the Yellowstone River in a custom wooden dory for a private, relaxing river journey. On-property offerings include hands-on culinary education with Chef Michael Fekete’s cooking classes and weekly pastry instruction with Chef Dallas, both designed for small groups. Family-friendly activities include a Llama Meet & Greet where participants receive a keepsake and provide treats for the animals.
Ranch-style adventures extend beyond the lodge with guided trail rides such as the Flying Diamond two-hour ride through the Pine Creek area and a Hell’s A Roarin’ cowboy cookout in Gardiner that pairs scenic horseback riding with a steak dinner and campfire. A one-hour carriage ride showcases sweeping views of the Absaroka and Gallatin mountain ranges and accommodates groups up to 12 with custom options for larger gatherings.
Sage Lodge coordinates transportation, expert guides, and experienced culinary instructors to provide structured, memorable experiences that connect guests to Yellowstone country and the surrounding Montana landscape.
