A piece of heaven on earth! Words won't do the experience justice. From the impeccable yet friendly service to the divine meals to the ambiance of the location itself and the cabins that seamlessly nestle into the surroundings. A trip of a lifetime that hope won't be my last. read more

Triple Creek Ranch sent me a threatening letter to take legal action against me to which I replied:below They have been stalking me on LinkedIn for some reason - I don't know why. All I know is that they denied us a reservation a decade after we had one visit of multiple visits that I politely complained about. I did not Destroy property Abuse staff or other guests File a dispute about payment. I am of the opinion that TCR and its management are hateful, grudge holding and inhumane. The denial of my reservation request in 2024 - one decade after the one of multiple visits I complained about is extreme and retaliatory. Another reviewer said this about TCR in a Yelp review. "If you manage a property it should be instilled to treat every visitor as though they are a guest or a potential guest who would be spending a substantial amount on your property. We received a lukewarm greeting upon arrival and after explaining that we had called the day before, were treated as though it was a courtesy to have breakfast there without reservations. We were expecting a full restaurant with that type of response... come to find out the dining hall was almost empty. Upon finishing breakfast we decided to walk around the main reception area to see parts of the property that were accessible by foot just nearby-- the pool area, the courts and a couple of cabins. We were approached by a staff member who obviously came after us-- who then told us we cannot be walking around and aren't to be on premises for the privacy of their guests. Understandable-- but don't treat us like trespassing teenagers! Management/staff approach was not professional or classy in enticing future/potential business to come to their property. Please try next time to use a more diplomatic approach." As is typical TCR didi not respond to this and other less than 5 star reviews on this platform-indicative at best. Here was my response to them: I am in receipt of your letter regarding Triple Creek Ranch and the allegations you have outlined. I categorically reject and deny any and all claims that I have engaged in defamatory, harassing, abusive, or malicious activity directed at Triple Creek Ranch, its employees, or its management. Furthermore, I have not authored, submitted, or authorized the recent posts or complaints referenced in your correspondence, including those attributed to "Jerald Kreis" or otherwise alleging false events. Your letter contains serious accusations that are not only false but damaging in themselves. To be clear: · I have not published or disseminated any content suggesting that I or anyone else is deceased, nor have I attributed any such fabricated event to Triple Creek Ranch or its employees. · I have not submitted any recent complaints to the Better Business Bureau, Google, Yelp, or other platforms under my name or anyone else's. · If my name has been used in connection with such posts, this may be a case of impersonation or misuse of identity, and I would appreciate your full cooperation in providing evidence including specific IP Addresses from which posts originated. I am aware of my rights under the law and expect any future communication from your office to be professional, substantiated, and free from intimidation. Your attempts to cite past complaints or unrelated matters do not excuse or justify making unfounded allegations or threats in the present. The facts are: Triple Creek Ranch denied me a reservation which was falsely justified. During all previous stays: · I did not damage the property. · I did not harass, threaten, or abuse staff or guests. · There were no non-payment or dispute of previous charges. If Triple Creek Ranch believes a legal claim exists, I expect it to be pursued through proper legal channels, and not through coercive letters laced with baseless assumptions and character attacks. read more

The staff is incredible and friendly! The daily activities offered were a lot of fun. The cabin was perfect, we stayed at Chipmunk Cabin. The wild elk walking throughout the property was amazing. read more

Best service- in dining, Lauren the bar manager and Demian were sublime, knowledgeable, and made me feel at home. Collin, Eli, Josie, Jani, Amber, Daniel(best lattes ever), the manager Gram, Jack(so charming and funny). All amazing staff. *caroline and Nate were AMAZiNG musicians and I'm so glad we got to catch them. Dakota found two bears on our tour, AND antlers- which is insanely cool. He know the land like the back of his hand and answered all the questions we had. Great at archery and all the panning. Andrew really welcomed us, loved meeting a fellow michigander. In activities all the staff were so kind and helpful- from Linda to Andrew, they all helped us with adding activities to our trip. Rose, Jesse, and Ben all made the riding experiences sublime. Ben is THE most knowledgeable horseman I've met in Montana over the last 20 years- his style and ability to ride and maneuver bit n bridle free is so impressive and fun to watch. Thank you to Jo and Ryan in housekeeping!! Every time I cam back to my cabin the sweets treats and snacks made me smile. And I LOVE your Riesling. YAY! Thanks for an amazing trip. Much love, Lauren Hardcastle read more

My sister and I spent a week here. This place is amazing and highly recommended. It's the most stunning ranch. Everyone here is amazing and cater to your every need. I don't want to mention names and leave anyone out, but the entire staff was wonderful in every way. Definitely get 10 stars. Can't wait to go back. I can't say enough good things about it or it would be 10 pages long. Best time of my life. read more

Triple Creek Ranch - Resorts Near Me - Darby, Montana

This place is pretty amazing. The accommodations are extremely nice. And the setting is gorgeous. But the staff-the staff-go above and beyond in so many ways. They are what makes this place special. In the restaurant, the staff are very attentive but do not hover. The excellent meals are served promptly and cheerfully. You come back to your cabin after dinner to find the covers turn back on your bed and your bathrobe laid out for you. What more could you ask for? I found the beds to be incredibly comfortable, and the cabins are very cozy. They have real wood-burning fireplaces, where the staff prepare the bed of the fireplace with kindling just waiting for you to strike a match. There is a hot tub out on the deck. The bathrooms are gorgeous, with his and her sinks and toilets. There is also an amazing steam shower. You can take a cup of coffee from your coffee maker into the shower and sit on the bench, just steaming your heart out The other amazing thing about this place is the artwork. There is fine western art in every cabin, and everyplace in the main lodge. I think many people don't notice that, but take the time to linger and look at the artwork. It's gorgeous! read more

We stayed here for our 30th anniversary and the ranch was beautiful. The food and the cabin were incredible. The office staff was gracious and attentive. However, there were a lot of "just been working here two months" staff that weren't quite up to the level of service that one expects from a Relais & Chateaux. I know this is probably due to Covid, but basic glass placement and serving training wouldn't hurt. It always annoys me to have to move glassES from the left side to the right, and have someone stretch over me to serve someone else. We loved hiking the property, but we're highly disappointed by the horseback ride. We walked horses up a logging road for 25 minutes, then turned around and walked back down for 25 minutes. No view, no forest trails..We now know one must book a cattle drive for ahead of time if you have any experience riding for some true ranch riding. The perk, Im in love with hatchet throwing. read more

I wish I could give Triple Creek Ranch 100 stars. My husband and I just finished our honeymoon here, and we could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our marriage. The attention to detail at TCR is unlike any other hotel/resort we've ever stayed at. There is NOTHING they haven't thought of on the ranch and they will NEVER tell you "no" to anything. A couple amazing things that stood out to us: 1. First of all, the website undersells the place. But maybe that's because you truly can't put into words how luxurious and deeply personal this experience is. 2. There are 25 cabins total and capacity is 65 persons total. I believe they have a staff of about 155 people and each staff member you interact with will get to know your name and your wishes at the ranch. The service is unlike anything we've experienced before. 3. Our favorite surprises that they don't share in marketing: a) every cabin gets its own golf cart to drive around the ranch, b) on Sunday night we were invited to the owners house on the ranch (Craig and Barbara Barrett) where we had cocktail hour and were encouraged to tour the house, c) one day they did a gourmet outdoor barbecue by the pool instead of a regular (albeit stellar) lunch in the lodge, c) staff members on the ranch have cameras and take pictures of you during your activities, then at night when housekeeping does their turndown service, they leave a framed/printed photo of you from the day in your cabin, d) on our last night they did a whiskey tasting by the fire with s'mores... Ultimately every day they find a way to surprise and delight you. 4. The cuisine at TCR is undeniably excellent. Every day the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are changing. The food... wow, we miss it. Think of a 5-star NYC restaurant (without the busy atmosphere and reservations) and that's what you get here. We had originally signed up for the Chef's Table, but decided the "regular" food service blew us out of the water and we didn't need an even more exquisite dining experience. 5. The details of the whole ranch are astounding--the art, the decor... every little touch they could put on the place has been done. It's really stunning. The staff members who stood out to us: Matt (sommelier), Lucas & Aaron (rooftop bar) and the General Manager David. These guys are top notch at what they do; very welcoming, thoughtful, fun and friendly. There is SO much more we could share about our outstanding experience at TCR, but I'd be basically writing a book here. If you're looking for an amazing, 5-star luxury, all-inclusive stay in a beautiful remote area with many activities at your fingertips... look no further than TCR. I believe the return rate of guests is a bit more than 80%... I'm honestly surprised it's not 100%! We truly can't wait to get back to Triple Creek Ranch. We WILL be back. And maybe we'll just move there. read more

I love Montana's natural beauty and am working to try its many ranches, resorts and activities to recommend to my friends and family who stay with me when they visit my home just outside Missoula. As a fairly affluent traveler, I'm happy to splurge on accommodations and excursions if they provide great service, a unique experience and good presentation. I visited Triple Creek Ranch on 7/26/17 for breakfast partially for good food but also to compare this resort to others in the area. I was sorely disappointed. Triple creek ranch is a very beautiful, sprawling property in an iconic setting with great amenities. It's much like other ranches and serves good food in a large log cabin setting adorned with well kept tables surrounded by clean picture windows with mountainous views. However, beyond a well priced breakfast that could have easily been $30 per person, but was moderately priced at around $20 per person of good quality, the service of the resort spoiled our trip. First let me say that Jessica, our server was a doll. That's about it. If you manage a property it should be instilled to treat every visitor as though they are a guest or a potential guest who would be spending a substantial amount on your property. We received a lukewarm greeting upon arrival and after explaining that we had called the day before, were treated as though it was a courtesy to have breakfast there without reservations. We were expecting a full restaurant with that type of response... come to find out the dining hall was almost empty. Upon finishing breakfast we decided to walk around the main reception area to see parts of the property that were accessible by foot just nearby-- the pool area, the courts and a couple of cabins. We were approached by a staff member who obviously came after us-- who then told us we cannot be walking around and aren't to be on premises for the privacy of their guests. Understandable-- but don't treat us like trespassing teenagers! Management/staff approach was not professional or classy in enticing future/potential business to come to their property. Please try next time to use a more diplomatic approach. Sorry Triple Creek Ranch, you lost out on our recommendations on the grounds of the warmth of your customer service. I suggest you treat every visitor as though they're a guest who will potentially spend 4K a night. My husband and I have stayed at Paws Up resort who offers a similar, if not more expensive experience, but with staff members eager to answer any questions or attend to needs. At no point were we interrogated about the nature of our business during our visit there. If considering a resort, TCR would not be my first choice but can see how their common areas, dining offerings can be appealing but I caution that their customer service is variable and not exceptional. Two stars for the beauty of the property and for the value of the food but had to deduct 3 for the service, value and overall experience. read more

Unexpected class in rural Montana! This is a resort for daddy's little rich girl's honeymoon and for celebraties. Very exclusive and a wonderful place for a special occasion. Well south of Hamilton and on the west fork road outside of Darby. Use your GPS, although there is a sign. Menu is super special with arty presentations and combos of ingredients one would not normally think about. All yummy...a gourmet experience. Your wallet will shrivel up and die and you might have to take out a second mortgage on your house, but for that occasional big deal it is worth it. Actually has a French manager! In Montana!! And service, table lay-out and decor is superb, quiet luxuary. It is normally not crowded, although there is adequate seating and a large bar that could seat lotsa people. The worse part is leaving to go home. read more

Remember being a kid and having to walk away from the Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland, knowing that it's time to go home. Remember that pain and sadness that you felt not knowing when you would return...yeah that's how I felt in my 30's when having to leave Triple Creek Ranch. It's really that magical. Triple Creek Ranch offers a first class, all inclusive, adults only experience. My family and I stayed here for 6 nights over the Christmas holiday and had an amazing time. Service: Everyone at the Ranch was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome and a tour of the facility. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that you are happy, entertained and satisfied from the moment you arrive to when you check out. It was like everyone at the facility had a PhD in hospitality. You do not have to think about a thing, they literately take care of everything. Thank you Catherine,Taylor, Jessica, Kelly, Jennifer, Cara, Josh and team. Food: Unbelievably delicious. See pics of menus below. TCR offered three meals a day which you could eat pretty much wherever you wanted - from the dining room, rooftop bar or have it delivered to your cabin. And yes, they will deliver a beautifully cooked, perfectly presented meal in 3ft of snow with no problem at all! Each menu offered plenty of options to choose from and changed daily. All wine, beer and liquor are included. Accommodations: The log cabins are absolutely perfect. We stayed in El Capitan, a two bedroom/ two bathroom cabin down the hill from the lodge. It was the perfect location, set back away from the other cabins offering an abundance of privacy. The cabin had an amazing hot tub which we used at least two times a day. The rooms are cleaned daily and turn down service is available in the evenings. From shampoo (Molton Brown products) to toothpaste, TCR supplies you with everything you need throughout your stay. The minibar and fridge is fully stocked with wine, liquor and soft drinks and refilled daily/nightly. The cabin also had a huge steam shower which was also a plus. Aside from the hot tub, the next greatest feature was the wood burning fireplace which we used continuously. For the holiday, they even set up a real Christmas tree with multicolored lights and decorations. They also added festive holiday decor from stockings over the fireplace to candy canes and Santa wine covers, making the cabin feel like home. Overall the cabin was extremely clean, well maintained, spacious (huge actually) and comfortable. All Inclusive: Aside from the meals and beverages, TCR offers a ton of activities. From tubing (behind a snowmobile), horseback riding, snowshoeing, skijoring (if your not familiar, google it - I recommend everyone try it once), ice fishing, panning for sapphires, nature tours - the list goes on. Dog sledding, trap shooting and snowmobiling are also offered for an additional charge and can be arranged through activities. Attire: Forgot your snow boots, gloves, heavy jacket or ski pants? Not a problem. The TCR has all the gear you need in various sizes for you to use during your stay at no additional charge. I'm pretty sure that if you showed up during the middle of winter in shorts and a shirt, they would find you the proper attire or whatever needed to get you situated and comfortable. When I say that the staff goes above and beyond - they do an amazing job. Overall: There are really no words to express how amazing this place is. Almost every person I met was a repeat guest; whether that be for a 3rd or 14th time. Go there once, you will see what I mean; it's truly magical. read more

What can I say.... 5 star all the way... to Grant, Chelsea and Kristin from the stables... And of course Josh looking after us in the bar..All the staff went above and beyond to make our stay a truly special experience. The rooms are absolutely SPOTLESS and the staff really understands the balance of making you feel totally looked after without any inconvenience or bother to you. Even their off site relationships ; From Eddie and marvin of the Hamilton gun club, to steve with fly fishing were spectacular; making sure to treat you with respect and guidance while keeping it fun and light. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Coming here was a dream. Leaving here was a travesty. While I had been so excited to come here from the day that we booked this mini-honeymoon, my wife had been a bit hesitant. She left here thinking this was one of the best vacations we ever had been on. As I have to pick somewhere to start, I'll start first with the staff. I do warn this is a thorough and long review about how amazing our Triple Creek Ranch experience was. Every single person we met on this trip working at Triple Creek bent over backwards to make sure our trip was incredible. A few people we want to shout out for making this trip so memorable; Activity coordinators Sheehan, Kelly and Wes (great at Astronomy), our Horse Wranglers & Team Penning cheerleaders Tim, Kenneth, Sarah and Hope, our dining crew Sheyan (sp?) Aaron, Amy and Brie (future incredible wine sommelier) and all the unnamed amazing housekeepers and reservation staff. Thank you. Each and every one of you. Activities: Lauren and I did not want to spend a ton of extra money doing things that were not included in our stay since we felt that there was so much included that would definitely take up our time. It is already very expensive to come here we want to take full advantage. We did horseback riding almost every day. We did Archery and fly fishing. We did yoga, trivia night (we won too!!!) and Sapphire panning. We hung by the pool and read our books drinking mojitos and daiquiris (which you have to go to the bar to get...due to state laws, kinda a bummer). We started and completed a really unique, difficult and cool puzzle (called a Stave puzzle and is a bit pricey to buy). The one activity we did pay for and was worth every penny was the Team Penning. It was so much darn fun that I would tell everyone to try it! Just a note: part of the reason we wanted to come here was for the opportunity to get away. There is no cell signal and the wifi moves incredibly slow which was exactly how we wanted it! FOOD!! Every bite was delicious. The executive chef, Jacob Leatherman does a stunning job with the menu every single day. Each night features a different menu and everything is included with your stay! So as I mentioned before, we want to take advantage and so we decide we have to order everything every night. So we did and the staff were all happy to help accommodate! Lunch was solid and breakfast could be pretty much whatever you want in addition to the menu you provide. Room: Our room was so comfy and perfect. We had one of the cabins by the lodge and it was perfect for us. It was a 1 bedroom cabin and the bed was so amazingly comfortable. I also loved how huge the shower was in our room. There is a surprise by housekeeping each day when you get back from dinner that I absolutely love and definitely will not spoil. Moral of the story, while this place is probably one of the most expensive places I've ever stayed, I could say without a doubt it was one of the best trips we ever have had. Everything was a dream come true from start to finish. read more

3 words for this place.....Absolutely Totally Amazing. We stayed Sat-Thurs and had an amazing time. Rode horses, 4Wheelers, fished, hiked, drank and ate Bacon. We had a cabin with our own private golf cart. Food was out of this world. Wait staff was amazing. They make Us feel amazing. This place is over the top and bottom line.... If you like the outdoors.... You will love this place. And.... The Bacon is out of this world good. A+++++ for Catharine and everyone else at Triple Creek. Hope to be back soon!!! read more

Tucked away in a remote corner of Montana, in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley, is a five star establishment called Triple Creek Ranch, which we discovered during a recent flyfishing trip to Montana. The restaurant sits in the middle of a forest. They are known for their beef and wild game, as well as an incredible wine selection - I believe their sommelier is from the Sonoma area. What hooked me was the desserts - they have a "chocolate decadence" - it's five or six different chocolate selections - a tiny cup of the best hot chocolate you have ever had, chocolate mousse, some sort of chocolate ganache cake - it was THE BEST dessert I have ever had! Afterwards, hop in your car, head to the cabin and perhaps a wild bear or two will cross your path, as it did the last time we were there! So if you find yourself in Darby make Triple Creek Ranch your first stop!! read more

I travel a lot and due to my high expectations, I rarely post reviews. TCR left us both floored. From the moment you call about a reservation until the time you leave, absolutely everyone here treats you exactly how you want to be treated but never fully expect. Whether its activities coordinators, chefs, guides, front desk staff, wait staff/sommelier, baggage handlers, maids, management and even the owners...everyone was on their A game 100% of the time. I really want to name names to thank so many individuals but will refrain bc I know I will leave someone out. Just know that if you saw us during our stay, you were amazing! If you plan on visiting TCR, my only advice is to raise your expectations knowing they will still go above and beyond. If you don't plan on visiting, you should. - beautiful scenery everywhere you look. - attentive, friendly staff. If there is anything you want, don't be afraid to ask because they will deliver with a smile. - truly gourmet food (the chefs table experience is HIGHLY recommended) - wonderful assortment of activities. - well-trained, beautiful, sweet horses. Especially Dillon! Ok, I dropped one name! - top notch accommodations. From decoration to comfort to overall feel, it's like you are home the second your cabin door swings open. - much, much more. Book well in advance as this ranch is always at full occupancy it seems. That's what happens when everyone keeps coming back! Thank you for making our first (of many) visit truly memorable!

This place is absolutely wonderful! The service was amazing. Everyone made you feel like you were the only guest there. We had the pleasure of going on a horseback ride, learning some archery, going on a nature safari and learning to fly fish. The food was absolutely delicious and they even prepared the dishes with a Halloween theme! This was absolutely one of the best little getaways we have been on and I was so sad to leave. Thank you to everyone at this resort for helping us capture some amazing memories and for making us feel at home! read more
