Historic Cabin along the West Rosebud—look for us on ABnB.

Tucked into the foothills of the dramatic Beartooth Mountains and sitting on the banks of the West Rosebud River is an historic getaway known as the Torgrimson Place at the Bench Ranch.

Here, the Pulitzer Prize winning author Wallace Stegner escaped the hustle and bustle of everyday life to experience a retreat into the quiet, simple beauty of the natural landscape of Montana. The cabin has also been enjoyed by such notables as humorist Dave Barry and poet Allen Ginsberg. However, every guest is important, and to many of those who return year after year, the Torgrimson Place feels like home.

Big Sky Country, to see it is to believe it. Expansive vistas, wide-open prairies, rugged and spectacularly stacked mountain ranges, and trout-filled rivers grace this landscape. Like other prominent figures in American history, such as Lewis and Clark, Sitting Bull, Charlie Russell, and a score of acclaimed writers and artists, experience it with your own senses.

The Torgrimson Place is rare: this is sanctuary.

Lovely Property
Lovely property with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Hiking, fly fishing, biking nearby. Tessa was right there whenever we needed information or a bit of help. The shaded location and creek running through the property helped keep it cool in some very hot temps. Tippet Rise Art Center is nearby and a real jewel, and you are close enough to the Beartooth Hwy to enjoy some time there.

The cabin is old and looks it from the outside, but the interior is well appointed with modern kitchen and bath. It's a wonderful place to stay, especially if you enjoy living on a huge ranch that is all yours, at least for a week.

Peaceful Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at Torgrimson Place! We hiked to Mystic Lake, went fishing in the back yard West Rosebud River, took a drive over the Beartooth Mountain Pass then ate lunch in Red Lodge, went trail riding at Hope Ranch, and float fished down The Stillwater River. This place was the perfect spot to come back to to rest for the next day’s adventure!

Magical Torg
As usual, the Torg does not disappoint. We had another wonderful and magical stay. Quiet, beautiful, wondrous. We love wandering and exploring the ranch, and being close to other wild places we like to explore. We've been visiting the Torg for years and we'll most certainly be back!

Gorgeous, Peaceful, Comfortable Place
Seeing the original ax/adze marks on the cabin logs links you to history. Easy in an out to Fishtail and it's not to miss General Store, with a tasty deli and coffee nook. The cabin is comfortable, clean as a whistle with a front yard that is a beautiful place to sit and read , view the Beartooths and always be lulled by the babbling brook and a bit further, the W. Rosebud River. Will return!

Torgrimson Place is wonderful, especially if you like history. It is a very cute old house with every modern amenity. Extremely quiet and private. Peaceful. The E Rosebud Creek running is the perfect ‘white noise’. We really enjoyed it. Property manager went out of her way to make sure all was well, even brought us fresh raspberries. Thank you

Historic cabin at the intersection of the Beartooth Mountains & W Rosebud Valley
We had such a peaceful stay at this modernized rustic cabin. The setting on the creek is outstanding, and we loved being greeted with fresh-cut wildflowers and raspberries. We cooked many nice meals, and ate outside, and read the history, including Wallace Stegner's stay. Thank you Tessa and crew.
