Reviews for Triple Creek Ranch

Montana Getaway

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

The ranch is beautiful, the food was amazing and the cabin we stayed in was excellent, but I think the best part about the ranch is the staff. Everyone there went out of their way to make us feel welcome and they catered to our every need. I would recommend Triple Creek to anyone who wants to find themselves surrounded by excellent food, beautiful scenery and wonderful people. We will definitely be going back in the near future.

Unprofessionalism at Its Finest

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

I rarely bother with writing online reviews, but I'm driven to expose the dismal experience at this so-called resort, which is laughably far from a 5-star, barely scraping a 3-star rating. The accommodations are a joke - think sardine cans masquerading as cabins, offering zero privacy and a couch that wouldn't comfortably fit a child. The TV setup is a baffling joke, awkwardly crammed next to a miniature fireplace, with a view dominated by power lines and the unremarkable sight of another cabin. The dining experience was mediocre at best, and the bar area was a desolate space void of any ambiance, lacking even a basic fireplace, and echoing with eerie silence. Their advertised live music was a phantom promise, with no clear schedule provided. The staff, mostly greenhorns straight out of college, clearly lacked the finesse and skill expected in a high-end establishment. We specifically requested an itinerary of activities before booking, which they assured us was all set. But upon arrival, it was a farce - activities were canceled last minute, leaving us with a laughable option of archery on a tennis court. Confronting the manager only revealed her utter lack of professionalism and maturity, suggesting we leave anytime because we had a private plane, and absurdly blaming me for their ineptitude. She even went so far as to ask us to leave the resort to stay at a hotel in Missoula (1.5hrs away), after dark, for no reason other than their own professionalism! We left the next morning out of disgust. Good Riddance. I'm sure the owner of Triple Creek would be appalled by this fiasco. I fully anticipate their attempt to refute my claims, but I have photographic evidence as well as videos I was able to capture if needed. Also, please look at the other true 1-star reviews. They claim to support the backbone of the resort, their staff as an excuse to harass and ridicule their guests. As an experienced traveler, I find this resort a complete farce. Moreover, I can't help but speculate that their glowing reviews are nothing but a circle of friends patting each other's backs, which makes their claim of being a 5-star resort almost comical.

Maybe 3 star

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

I rarely come on google to leave reviews or leave reviews at all, but when something stands out so drastically I feel the need to let others know. I would have to say this resort is by no means 5 star or let alone 4… possibly 3 but with a 3 star atleast you know what to expect. For starters the standard cabins are very close to one another with zero privacy and the couch fits one standard adult. There is a small tv left of the small fire place and you see power lines all around. There is no view of any mountains or creeks or much of anything ( besides your neighbor). The food is the only thing I can say is decent but it’s awkwardly quiet and in the bar area (no fireplace), so not really entertaining. They did say they had a band but didn’t know which days . The staff is mostly all straight out of college and act that way. What sets 5 star hotels and resorts/ lodges apart from the lesser is 1 thing and 1 thing only, customer service. We called the hotel prior to finalizing our stay and asked them to put together a itinerary that IS CURRENTLY available as some places will offer services or activities so confirming prior will also depend if we book at the resort because that’s why we’re coming, Especially to the middle of nowhere. When we arrived they CONFIRMED all activities and services, but after the first day they asked us to meet them at concierge desk to go over something’s. I think they’d realized they’d over promised and under delivered. They proceeded to tell us that 2 of our activities are not available last minute which the only thing left available was the archery ( on the tennis court) which looked like it was bought from the sports section at target for younger boys to have fun with at home. When we called very disappointed with realizing our vacation was completely ruined and upset, the manager proceeded to tell us she wasn’t a “mechanic” and could find us another accommodation to stay at if we’re not happy and since we flew on a private plane we could easily leave. She was very childlike and is not used to working in the customer service industry dealing with high end clients and being able to fix situations and diffuse situations that normally arise in this field. She harassed my husband and blamed him for being upset with their failed planning and holding them accountable for wasting our time and money. Thank god we found another resort called PAWS UP. THIS IS 5 STAR. You have the mountains right outside your front door with no obstructing views and no neighbors near by. Your own Lexus and the customer service is remarkable. I think Barbara owner of triple creek would be embarrassed and surprised if she heard her clients being treated in such ways. I’m sure they’re going to write a response trying to “prove” there innocence or truth but if you want photos or evidence find me on social media. Don’t waste your time, as a avid traveler and 5 star hotel frequent , you’re going to be severely underwhelmed. Also, reading these reviews they have to be friends or friends of the owner. She’s very well connected and I think that’s how this place has the “awards” or thoughts of “5 star”, Which is humorous.

A Magnificient Montana Vacation!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 months ago

My husband and I vacationed at Triple Creek Ranch at the end of September. It was a perfect break from our Florida heat. The ranch resort vacation was exactly what we needed. Triple Creek Ranch is a beautiful ranch resort and we loved every minute of it! Very high attention to detail in every aspect they do! We stayed in the Chipmunk Cabin which we loved. Spacious, secluded, very comfortable bed, housekeeping services were on point, awesome private hot tub, wonderful deck sitting area to enjoy wildlife as it passed by (including deer, elk and turkeys)! All meals (new menus daily) were DELICIOUS and fantastic! Hands down some of best meals/food that we have had at a resort! We also chose to do the private Chef's Table Dinner with wine pairing and highly recommend it. Every course of that dinner was amazing! We thought the offering of activities (both the ones included and the extra ones) at Triple Creek Ranch were perfect. We signed up for the Horseback Riding, Mountain Biking, Scenic Drive, Forest Walk, Logging Camp, In-Cabin Couples Massage, Sapphire Panning (watch out it's highly addictive), Disc Golf and the all day ATV Adventure. We really maximized our stay with the amount of activities we did, but also had down time to just relax and enjoy the surroundings as well. And to top it all off, the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff was exceptional! We highly recommend Triple Creek Ranch and have already told so many friends and family about putting it on their list to go to! We cannot wait to return in the years to come, maybe during the Winter months to enjoy some snow activities! Thank you again Triple Creek Ranch for an outstanding vacation!

Over The Top Hospitality

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 8 months ago

Who starts off a review with cookies? I do. TCR has the best damn cookies I have ever had. Each day they have a new variety from Rocky Road, to Almond Joy to Caramel Praline. They are soft, chewy, to die-for and unlimited. Now for the review. We had to book our cabin (really liked Big Sky) more than a year in advance. So book now for 2024 or 2025. From Detroit, more than 12 hours to get there (had to fly through MSO and drive 90 minutes) but once you get there.... Over the top hospitality. Put your wallet and cash in the cabin safe, you never need either during your entire stay. Cabin is well appointed with wood-burning fireplace, outdoor spa, snacks, drinks, and not only double sinks in the bathroom, but double toilets! Food and beverage is above expectations since everything is all-inclusive. Breakfast menu features a couple daily specials, homemade everything. For lunch, we opted for the picnic menu and enjoyed lunch at the Observation Deck. Dinner is special. We started at the bar (Amanda is an amazing and fun bartender) and a couple nights they had live music. Bar selection is premium from single malt scotches to Grey Goose to more than 20 varieties of bourbons. House wines are excellent. Dinner menu features five courses and changes daily. However if there is something you don't like, they will make virtually anything you want and if you want more food, they will bring it out until you are rolling home. Did I tell you about the cookies? The house made ice cream is pretty damn good too. Activities are all top-rated and with the exception of horse-back riding, done privately. We did hiking, mountain biking, archery, axe tossing and the private car tour (the Yellowstone ranch is just minutes away). Afternoons were spent at the nice pool area that has a nice whirlpool, small fitness center and lawn games. Best part of TCR, NO KIDS ALLOWED UNDER 16!!! 120 employees, all amazing and very nice. Only 26 cabins. Property owned by the founder of Intel and they have a nice house on the ranch. No doubt they subsidize the cost per night as a similar stay at Twin Farms is double the cost. They also own the ranch in which you take the private drive, more than 26,000 acres. While we were there, the Barretts invited all the guest to their home for cocktail hour and we got to meet Barbara, great times indeed. But those cookies! They do other special things throughout your stay that I won't mention because I don't want to ruin the surprise. Only downside: No spa. They do have a couple treatment rooms but they are booked well in advance. One last thing. No tipping policy until you check-out. Then you can decide how much to tip the entire staff. Love that concept.
