Here, adults are treated to an all-inclusive romantic setting with incomparable scenery, wildlife, outdoor activities, and a collection of Western inspired art in private log cabins or lodge guest rooms. Add haute hospitality, superb cuisine and a paramount wine cellar, and you have the luxury part of the experience.
The adventure component comes by day where a wide list of activities is included year-round from cattle drives to guided wildlife tours. In the winter, skiing and XC skiing are nearby, but for the thrill seekers, this is the place to try ski-jouring, a winter sport where a daring person on skis is pulled by a horseback rider. Skiers are drawn by mounted horses through snowy meadows and along forest trails creating an experience that merges snow skiing with the feel of water skiing. Fear not, the Triple Creek Ranch version focuses more on fun than competition with the experience tailored to each guest's skill level, yet no matter what, this will be an experience to unveil around the water cooler upon return home.
After a day on skis, return to cabins filled with Western-inspired artworks and regional décor, where snuggling in front of the private fireplace is encouraged. Each cabin comes with a fridge filled with
complimentary house spirits, soft
drinks, coffee and teas, cookies, trail
mix and wi-fi plus large screen TVs outfitted with blue ray players. The adventure inside the cabin is up to the guests, and is enhanced with private or nearby hot tubs too.
Dining at Triple Creek offers a feast of fresh foods, fine wines and global influences. With offerings ranging the local Bitterroot Valley to worldwide delicacies, dining fireside in the romantic dining room is made a little more adventurous with the dramatic views of the Bitterroot Mountains. Guests are treated to wholesome breakfasts, light and healthful lunches and gourmet dinners offering a choice of wine pairings from the showcase cellar, tasting menus and a Chef's Table with a unique insider's view of the ranch's inviting kitchen.
The meals, many activities and all house wines and spirits are included in a stay on the ranch.
