Rustic-Styled Luxury at Triple Creek Ranch

The recently re-opened Triple Creek Ranch, a luxury resort located high in the Bitterroot Mountain Range of the Montana Rockies, offers rustic elegance in a romantic setting, and features decor reminiscent of a mountain lodge, allowing the beautiful mountain scenery to take center stage.

World class accommodations in a small, intimate environment are in 23 luxury log cabins.  Cabins feature fireplaces, and original western art, with a natural color palette for the walls, bedding, and floors, created as a backdrop for that art.  Cabins also feature regional furnishings and handicrafts including woolen afghans, hand-craft granite countertops, oak desk tops, and specially designed linens.

Time spent at Triple Creek Ranch can range from the active (fly fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and tennis) to the not-so-active (relaxation, romance, and pampering).  Although there is no cell phone service at the ranch, if you really must connect to the outside world, there is satellite wi-fi available.  You’ll find the food just as impressive as your surroundings, with a restaurant that features contemporary cuisine, with a global influence, and a top-notch wine cellar that offers over 250 wines from 12 of the world’s top wine making countries.  Menu items range from classic French to innovative southwestern, and everything in between.

Triple Creek Ranch is an adult, all-inclusive property.  Guests must be at least 16 years of age.  Rates start at $650 per couple and include three daily meals, picnic lunches, snacks, house wine and cocktails, use of the pool, hot tub and fitness center, and some activities (hiking, trail rides, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fly casting lessons, and use of the putting green).  Packages and special events are offered.

Triple Creek Ranch was ranked prominently in last year’s Travel + Leisure many lists, including #1 US hotel in the T+L 500, #1 US hotel for service and #3 hotel worldwide.  The property is a Relais & Chateaux member property and an Orvis-endorsed fly fishing lodge and resort.
