The Rugged Horizon Wedding & Event Venue

A Hand-Crafted Barn

The barn at Rugged Horizon provides a spectacular backdrop for your Montana wedding, special event, or vacation.  We are located in the heart of the Mission Valley, just 35 minutes north of Missoula and 35 minutes south of Polson.  Our rolling meadows provide an unforgettable setting for your wedding ceremony, and the 3,000 square foot barn is the perfect spot to celebrate afterward.  The barn offers ample amenities in a country setting, including:

  • An old-world style of craftsmanship, built from locally-milled wood and heavy timber;

  • Huge barn doors that open up for dancing under the Big Sky;

  • Indoor multi-stall restrooms;

  • Radiant floor heat;

  • Prep space for caterers that includes a double-basin sink, large refrigerator, counters, and storage;

  • French doors that open wide to enjoy the sunsets;

  • Romantic lighting; and

  • Plenty of room to dine and dance the night away.  

A Private & Luxurious Loft Apartment

Upstairs you will find the spacious one-bedroom loft apartment. This private space is perfect for getting ready before you walk down the aisle. When it is not being used for weddings, we rent it out as a vacation rental. The loft includes:

  • Master bedroom with king bed;

  • A complete kitchen with refrigerator, stove, sink, and dishes/utensils;

  • A bathroom with clawfoot tub, shower, and robes for pampering yourself;

  • A living room/dining area with a couch that folds out into a queen bed to accommodate up to two extra guests; and

  • Two balconies for watching the sun set on the Mission Mountains. 

An Unbeatable Setting

The barn’s garden patios and wild meadows offer a perfect vantage point for marveling at the Mission Mountains. We hope you will stroll around while you are here and immerse yourself in Montana’s beauty. Deer, birds, coyotes, and other wildlife will share this peaceful location with you.  Grab a pair of binoculars and turn toward to the west - you might just be lucky enough to catch a herd of bison roaming around on the refuge.  

Rugged Horizon is also a great base camp for your Montana travels - we are conveniently located near the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Bison Range, Mission Falls, Flathead Lake, and Glacier National Park.  Come start your next adventure with us! See our Visitor Guide for more information.
