The spacious rooms have pine furnishings, oddly undersize windows and extra nooks and crannies. In two of the bathrooms, Brett and Calvin sawed holes into old vanity dressers, mounting working sinks into them. All rooms have private baths and queen-size beds, but no phones. The guest ranch operates late May to mid-September, but when they have space, the Hansens offer overnight accommodations with or without reservations year round. Swan Valley has little in the way of accommodations, so this is a real find for anglers.
Every guest ranch is different.
That's why some vacationers sample a new one every year. Granite Creek's buildings were mostly built around the turn of the century with logs cut from ranch property. What we like best about Granite Creek is its cozy size. It has only four guest cabins, which can accommodate a total of 15 guests, so you'll get lots of personal attention and plenty of quiet. You decide what you want to experience, and the staff tries to make it happen.
