The Lewis and Clark Cabin is named after the famous Corps of Discovery. The Vermillion Ranch hosted the Lewis and Clark Expedition as Clark moved his way down the Yellowstone River in July of 1806. Clark spent a day watering his horses at the mouth of Sweetgrass Creek and remarked on the abundance of wildlife in
the area.

Built in the 1870’s, the Lewis and Clark cabin has been fully restored with your comfort in mind and furnished with a certain western charm which beckons you to relax. A large sunny deck draws you out to the surroundings. As you walk from the cabin, you will see the
Crazy Mountains, the Absaroka Mountains, and the Yellowstone River valley.

The Lewis and Clark cabin consists of two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and living room. Each room has been furnished to make you feel at home and offers all the amenities for a comfortable Montana vacation.

The Vermillion Ranch also plays host to the Harrison Homestead, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Harrison Homestead was built in 1878 and has been beautifully restored and updated to include modern amenities. The 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is charming and spacious and can sleep 8 guests.

The Harrison Homestead is primarily used by the Vermillion sons’ Sweetwater Travel Company as lodging for hosted fishing trips and schools, including special women’s and kids’ fly-fishing schools. While these events keep the Harrison Homestead occupied for a good part of the year, there are usually openings for private rental. This home rents for $3000 per week. Those staying for 2 weeks or more will receive a discount on their weeks after the first week.
