Triple Creek Ranch is a luxury guest ranch that offers seclusion and a sublime, all-inclusive experience for just a handful of guests. The Ranch features 25 luxurious western-style log cabins with wood-burning fireplaces, log frame beds, and peaceful views, each cabin a unique and private woodland retreat. Many of the cabins have their own alfresco hot tubs. A museum-worthy collection of Western art from the owners’ collection can be seen throughout the cabins and the main lodge.
Triple Creek Ranch offers inventive cuisine, an award-winning wine cellar, and stellar service. Executive Chef Jacob Leatherman fuses his classical French training with the flavors of the American West. The ranch’s wine cellar has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence each year since 2012.
The array of Western activities (many are included in the rate) elevates a stay at Triple Creek Ranch to an authentic Montana experience. They include horseback riding, cattle drives, hiking, mountain biking, shooting, archery, and ATV adventures. An Orvis Endorsed Lodge, Triple Creek Ranch offers guided flyfishing trips from raft floats on the trophy waters of the adjacent Bitterroot River. Yoga & guided meditation sessions are a perfect way to unwind after a day outdoors.
Winter is a time for horseback riding, snowshoeing, dog sledding, and nearby cross-country skiing and alpine skiing. Famed for its Vintner Events with acclaimed winemakers, the ranch has a notable Artist in Residence program, Artist Workshop Weekends, and the yearly Stave Puzzle Weekend.
Celebrating 30 years of ownership by Barbara and Craig Barrett in 2023, Triple Creek Ranch is an iconic treasure of the American West. It received the highest honor when it was named the World’s Best Hotel in the Travel + Leisure 2014 Awards and has ranked consistently high ever since.
