About Us
Wayne & terina williams
Welcome to Petty Creek Mountain Ranch—Wayne and Terina Williams' 710-acre wilderness sanctuary connecting directly to 2 million acres of Lolo National Forest, just 25 minutes from (MSO) Missoula Airport.
This exclusive private retreat in Petty Creek Canyon is home to one of Montana's 45 bighorn sheep bands, plus abundant elk, white-tail and mule deer, and turkeys that roam freely across our working Scottish Highlander cattle ranch.
Since 2018, we've restored stunning old-growth log homes while honoring over 100 years of canyon history. Our dramatic terrain climbs from 3,400 to 5,200 feet against towering 6,500-foot cliffs—creating unparalleled habitat and breathtaking wilderness access.
This sacred place has witnessed profound transformation: lives, teams, couples, and organizations discovering soul restoration in Montana's healing embrace.
At Petty Creek Mountain Ranch, you don't just visit wilderness—you become part of it and find renewal in its timeless power with Uninterupted Connections with your group.
