The Bighorn region is usually passed over hurriedly by first-time tourists- an unexpected looming mountain barrier on the way to Yellowstone- but for those special folks who don't like crowds, condos, and curio shops this has always been a special place. Mountains to explore, Indian wars sites to discover, western lifestyle you thought was gone forever. . . . . and where else can you see one hundred miles from the window!
SPAHN'S is an traditional mountain lodge where guests are personally entertained in the relaxed style of an earlier time. Guests are made to feel like part of the family and come away with a personal attachment to Sheridan and the Bighorn Mountains.
Guests socialize and compare their vacations and their lives with each other and the hosts each morning at breakfast and at the end of the day on the deck or in the great room of the lodge. Guests are folks who prefer to explore and discover on their own, and as hosts Ron and Bobbie listen to plans and interests and make suggestions to facilitate those desires.
While our main purpose as hosts is to facilitate exploration on your own, there are some places that are just too remote or hard to find, and besides, some folks prefer to have a "native guide". So while we'll be telling all we can about where to explore on your own, there are some days when we load up the Suburban and put together a party to reduce costs and have some fun.
For those seeking active participation there is hiking, fishing, jeeping, horseback riding, golf, bicycling, auto touring. Spectator sports include rodeo, Indian powwows, polo, wildlife viewing, and birding. A day in town can include shopping, dining, museums and perhaps a little taste of the bright lights that evening. Guided activities include history tours, wildlife safaris, fishing guiding, and geology trips. Daytrips to area attractions visit Little Bighorn Battlefield, Bradford Brinton Memorial, Devils Tower, Bighorn National Forest, Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, the Medicine Wheel, the Hole in the Wall, Trail End Museum and Fort Phil Kearney.
