The Best Hotels Near The Ranch at Rock Creek, by the Record

  1. A Forbes Five Star ranch resort spread across 6,600 acres between the Pintler and Sapphire ranges, where the dress code is essentially "do you own a vest." Granite Lodge anchors it all, a two-story stone and timber building with a massive hearth, game tables, and guest rooms named for horse breeds and firearms. Days go toward trail riding or skiing; evenings toward Missoula Mules beside the fire, which is a perfectly reasonable way to end up in Montana.


  2. Three creeks actually run through the property, which is how a Montana luxury ranch earns a name like this. Ninety minutes from Missoula and sitting at 4,600 feet in the Bitterroot Mountains, Triple Creek is the kind of all-inclusive hideaway where the event calendar runs from cowboy school to vintner weekends, and 750 forested acres mean you won't hear much besides running water. A Forbes Four Star property, and a Michelin 2 Keys listing.



  3. Eleven modern wood cabins sit in the pine forest of Montana's Blackfoot River Valley, adults only, all-inclusive, and about as far from a Hampton Inn as geography allows. The Social Haus turns out multicourse dinners despite being deep in Big Sky Country woods, and the all-in rate covers meals, drinks, and transfers from Missoula. A Forbes Four Star resort where champagne and crisp mountain air arrive together.
