A Private Membership Experience AT
Lone Mountain Ranch

Auric Room 1915 is inspired by the year Lone Mountain Ranch was founded. The early 20th century marked a period of adventuring in the territory that would become Big Sky, Montana. Lured by the 1906 Forest Homestead Act and the promise of a new life out West, early settlers like Clarence Lytle, who homesteaded this land, also imbued this area with their pioneering spirit.

After a long journey out West and a hard day of working the land, those early ranchers and homesteaders would have wanted a space to relax, dine well, and share their stories over a whiskey. This is that room.

Our goal for the Auric Room is to create the most unique and intimate culinary and wine and bourbon tasting experience in Big Sky, housed in a room that is simultaneously contemporary and steeped in Montana heritage. As a member, you and your guests will access the Auric Room by greeting your private host at Horn & Cantle, who will escort you to a private elevator that leads you to a private check-in area. To protect the privacy of our guests as well as allow our members to step back in time before the distraction of cell phones, the Auric Room is a cell phone-free environment. You will secure your phone in a private locker upon check-in. In case of emergencies, you will always be reachable by the dedicated member house phone via our concierge.

Inside, you’ll find a private, dining venue with booths, banquet tables, a bar, private kitchen, private bathroom, and cigar terrace. Rustic reclaimed oak flooring and timber walls hearken to a different era while elements lie a thick black marble bar suspended on an ebonized base add mystery and a modern feel. The effect: an intimate, hidden zone of quiet hospitality specifically created for members.
