Corporate Getaways to Paradise

You need to re-charge, re-acquaint, re-interpret... Forrester’s Time.

When you book one of our corporate packages, your company of ten or more become guests in our world, aka Planet Bighorn, and things are quite different here. Undeniably, your team will thoroughly enjoy fishing, hunting, relaxing with your feet up, and taking in the majestic landscape, etc. Yes, those things help create Forrester’s Time, yet they’re not quite it. You also need truly impressive cuisine. You need humble and gracious service. It is these elements that move you from the day-to-day into the here and now of Forrester's Time. But there are also other facts to Forrester's that cohesively create Forrester’s Time—let’s see if we can put a finger on it.

Exclusivity

Ever had a whole planet to yourself? Our corporate excursions give your team—and your clients if you so choose—the entire run of the place. No one else is booked during your time. The Bighorn River is plenty large, but you need extra room to truly live the experience. It’s the wide-open, free exploration that’s an intangible in Forrester’s Time.

The Service Experience

You’re here to tap into something deep within. That’s no time to be interrupted to call the front desk and ask for more towels. We provide a service experience aimed at taking any and all possible cares from you. Logistics like transportation and applicable licenses? Not your worry, dear friend. Once you enter your own private cabin, you’ll find hand-selected furnishings and amenities, all carefully orchestrated. We try to supply you with everything you need before you realize you’ll need it—we feel you’ll find our hospitality to be top-notch. Our fishing and hunting guides are meticulously hand-selected, just like all other components of your retreat. They are all passionate—hopefully not too much so—about fly fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation, and we let them get away with doing what they love all day, just as long as they never call it “work.”

Your Business Needs

We understand the balance struck by corporate stays. We provide a comfortable meeting space at the Lodge and there is wifi throughout the property for your team and clients to hook up whenever they need. You can do your company thing when convenient, and we’ll schedule your fishing and other excursions accordingly.


Gastro-Elegance

Your retreat experience at Planet Bighorn reaches an extraordinary level in the hands of our nationally- known executive chef Frank Kerstetter, who masterfully and passionately transforms seasonal ingredients into delectable, refined creations. Airy blueberry pancakes for breakfast, hearty grass-fed beef stew for lunch on that brisk fall day, to Maine lobster ravioli for dinner—any of these may make appearances on the table in our dining room at the Lodge. Our Menu is always being updated and adapted, although we maintain some staples such as the blueberry pancakes and coconut macaroons due to popular demand, but you can always expect something authentic, hand-crafted with classic French techniques informing regional American cuisine. Who knew the best dining in Big Sky Country was at the foot of the famous Bighorn River?

  • "This is the place to be!!"
    We had a great time during our stay at Forrester's. The cabins are comfortable and clean and the main lodge is beautiful and a great place to relax at the end of the day. We had two different guides, both knowledgeable and patient. The food is incredible..each day tops the last, including wonderful coolers packed for a day on the river. The hosts are experienced, available and intent on insuring that you have what you need and that you have a great time. Highly recommend this lodge!!

  • "That Place You Keep Coming Back To"
    You know those places you keep coming back to, either literally or at least in your mind? This is one of those places. Nick and Francine ensure that your trip is top-notch. Cozy, deluxe cabins, warm lodge, great loft for watching a game and unwinding, and the food - 5-star cuisine by the talented Chef Frank! You just can't eat this well anywhere else! You can bird hunt or boat brown trout - all in the same day! This is a special place on the Bighorn River.

  • "With the terrific bird hunting and excellent food at Forrester’s, we have a great vacation every time."
    Mayo and I have come to the Bighorn for four years now, and for the last three years, we have arrived at the lodge to find the same convergence of fun repeat guests who hail from all over the country. We’ve become good friends, and will even be meeting up for some quail hunting in Georgia this winter. The group has a good mix of men and women. Some of us women hunt, some walk with the hunters, and some stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of the lodge. We’re a little raucous at cocktail hour which we enjoy. With the terrific bird hunting and excellent food at Forrester’s, we have a great vacation every time.

  • "Unforgettable. See you next year."
    Upon arrival, we were greeted with the necessary paperwork, licenses, and guides. We dropped our bags off in our cabins and dad gave lessons to his daughter. Afterwards we headed up for a cigar and appetizers. Dinner was a multicourse, locally sourced, culinary delight. Frank, head chef is awesome and Paul is impeccable. My wife stayed in the cabin and enjoyed the peace and serenity while we enjoyed Sean, Wyatt and Tyrell's guidance for trout. The 1st day, all bows over 20 inches. On the last day, Stella, hauled in a 20+ inch bow as the boat was pulling up to leave, in front of a slew of waders, who applauded and cheered. An experience she will never forget. Thank you Sean, Wyatt, and Francine for the wonderful care and love you gave us. Unforgettable. See you next year.

  • "Simply Amazing! Strongly Recommended!"
    My Father and I spent 5 days there hunting and fishing with Forresters. This place is absolutely world class! Francine and Nick are super nice and extremely attentive and will ensure you have everything you need - down to the last detail. The guides (Cash, Sean, and Ray) were truly experts in their craft. Oh, and the food was amazing! I would strongly recommend them.
