It seems, however that through the years the investors had no choice except to finance the refurbishing of the original ranch through the sale of smaller parcels of land. Today, the ranch consists of the old lodge, cabins and the horse facilities on about 200 acres. THE CALL OF THE WILD has lured many people into the outfitting businesses in Montana. Double Arrow Outfitters, operated by the Rich Family of Seeley Lake since 1958, is the oldest outfitting business in Montana operated by the same family.

The historic Double Arrow Lodge has undergone significant improvements, while keeping intact its highly valued charm and cozy ambiance. All original cabins have been remodeled and upgraded.
