Montana’s Triple Creek Ranch was recognized by two of the most influential names in travel this week: the prestigious MICHELIN Guide and Condé Nast Traveler.

 

 

For the second consecutive year, the Ranch was awarded Two MICHELIN Keys, as announced at a ceremony in Paris. Michelin notes that at Triple Creek Ranch, guests can “experience the spectacular landscape of the heart of Montana while making your home in a luxurious private cabin, complete with the full range of amenities …  the ranch offers everything from nature walks to cattle drives to helicopter tours of the Bitterroot Mountains. The winter months, naturally, are ideal for skiing (downhill and cross-country), snowshoeing, guided snowmobile trips, a winter horseback ride, or even just an evening spent lounging beside a crackling fire.”

 

Condé Nast Traveler announced their 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards, naming Triple Creek Ranch one of the Best Resorts in the United States and one of the best Resorts – Mountain West.  This is the ninth consecutive year that Triple Creek Ranch has been named to the prestigious list, which will be featured in the November 2025 issue of Condé Nast Traveler.

Condé Nast Traveler writes that while “Just 75 miles south of Missoula, Triple Creek nevertheless manages to feel like it’s in its own world. With 25 log cabins looking out onto the Bitterroot Mountains, all-inclusive Triple Creek pairs upscale rusticity with isolation—we’re talking exposed log walls, slate bathrooms, and private hot tubs. Fill your days with horseback riding, hiking or snowshoeing, a fly-casting clinic, archery, tennis, or simply relax by the pool.”

 

“

We are beyond thrilled to have received these honors from Michelin and Condé Nast Traveler,” said Molly Smith and Kristen Snavely, Co-General Managers of Triple Creek Ranch, in a joint statement. “The Michelin Keys have recognized the luxury experience that our dedicated team works so hard to achieve and exceed. The readers of Condé Nast Traveler, many of them loyal guests who we consider our ‘Ranch family’, have shown that we’re maintaining the exceptionally high level of service and hospitality that ensures Triple Creek Ranch is everything they dream it will be.”

A legendary and unique Relais & Chȃteaux luxury guest ranch with five-star food, wine, and service, Triple Creek Ranch offers seclusion in the Montana wilderness and a sublime, all-inclusive experience for a select few guests. The Ranch features 25 luxurious western-style log cabins that provide a cozy and private woodland retreat. All cabins have their own wood-burning fireplaces, and many feature hot tubs.

 

Triple Creek Ranch is noted for Executive Chef Jacob Leatherman’s creative and inventive cuisine, which pairs classical French training with the robust flavors of the American West. The wine cellar at the Ranch has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence each year since 2012.

 

The array of Western activities (many of them covered in the all-inclusive rate) makes a stay at Triple Creek Ranch a deeply rooted and expansive 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 provide deep relaxation. The Ranch has recently introduced Skydiving experiences for guests to soar above the majestic peaks of the Bitterroot and Sapphire mountains and the winding rivers of Western Montana.

 

 

The upcoming winter at Triple Creek Ranch offers horseback riding, snowshoeing, dog sledding, and nearby cross-country skiing and alpine skiing. Famed for its Vintner Events throughout the year, featuring acclaimed winemakers, and the yearly Stave Puzzle Weekend, the ranch also proudly supports the arts of the American West. It offers an Artist in Residence program and popular Artist Workshop Weekends.

 

A museum-worthy collection of Western art from the owners’ collection can be seen throughout the cabins and the main lodge, immersing guests in both classic and contemporary Western artworks. Celebrating more than three decades of ownership by Barbara and Craig Barrett in 2025, Triple Creek Ranch is a true treasure of the American West.
