The Ranch at Rock Creek

We came from Toronto over the Canadian thanksgiving weekend. Amazing place. One of the rare places we have stayed where everything is done perfectly. Activities are all excellent and really fun. They do the American west theme so well, common areas look amazing. Every staff member we talked to were relaxed, really nice, and helpful. Food is great. Cost is really reasonable for what you get to do—most things are included and even extras like the gift shop are not overpriced. If you’re an international tourist looking for a more classic America trip outside the regular nyc/miami/SF this is a great choice

This was my fourth time at the Ranch at Rock Creek. I went on a girls trip. If you want luxury and to be pampered...this is your place. Does housekeeping need to wrap your phone cord in a gingham ribbon bow each time they clean your room? No, but is it amazing? Yes! Out of the five star resorts I have visited, the Ranch is BEYOND when it comes to service, housekeeping, hospitality, and food. Not to mention, I, along with 2 other of my friends on the trip are pregnant and we still had ample activities to do, including archery, fly fishing, and even line dancing :). Add the Ranch to your list for babymoon locations! The staff went out of their way to make us feel special including crafting delicious mocktails. I think my favorite part of this trip was the barn dance night where they had an amazing local band and the staff led us in line dancing. These special curated events are what truly set the Ranch apart.

My husband and I took our family (10 of us including 4 children) in December 2024. My family says it was the best vacation we ever had! We loved going in the winter - don't worry about the cold, just bring winter coats. There were beautiful crackling fires burning day and night everywhere we went. Beautiful Christmas decorations and fresh Christmas trees even in our house! The family went fly fishing, clay shooting, target shooting (including my 10 yo granddaughter and 12 yo grandson), sapphire mining (the kids favorite), horseback riding, ice skating, tour on UTV's, skiing at Discovery Ski with lessons for the children including a 4 & 5 yo, and bowling. We also went into town one of the days. The Ranch provided everything we could ever want! There was nothing too much and they all went above and beyond. We stayed in Bear House and enjoyed the morning walk to the Lodge for a beautiful breakfast and homemade pastry! Breakfast, lunch & dinner always fantastic and elegant. Great wine also! It snowed while we were there, and it was magical!! This is truly a Relais and Chateaux property - cleanliness, linens, food & service! The bedrooms were all stunning. The staff was so wonderful. My 5 yo grandson had a little mishap and hurt his lip and the housekeeping staff knew he loved Sonic so they printed out pictures to color and left them on our table every morning. And that night in his room they left a stuffed squirrel! Our UTV guide found out my 4 yo granddaughter was fascinated with Yeti's so every night someone hid oranges in our house left with a note from the Yeti who hid them! When we arrived at Bear House there was a gingerbread house kit complete with frosting already in piping bags! No words can describe sitting on The Lodge porch under red heat lights in front of a crackling fire with snow all around. Sorry I can't remember all the names, but the staff made our stay memorable: Amy, Kevin, Greg, Henry, Cassidy, Gracie, Jessie Belding. We stayed 5 nights and that was the perfect length. We flew into Missoula first and stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn to avoid missing any days at The Ranch due to unforeseen delays (flights, etc). It's a great town! We were picked up by The Ranch in the morning and driven 1-1/2 hrs to the property. I hesitated to book a Winter stay and initially wanted Autumn, but now none of us can imagine going any other time!

My husband and I recently visited the ranch for a 70th birthday celebration. Everything about our stay was exceptional - from the pickup at the Missoula airport to the drop off on our final day. The scenery was spectacular, the accommodations were immaculate, the food was superb, the activities were fun and well organized - and most of all, we appreciated the wonderful staff at the ranch. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, approachable and eager to do whatever they could to make our stay comfortable and memorable. In particular, I want to recognize the concierge manager, Candice, whose kindness to me while I dealt with a brief bout of illness during our stay went far beyond the four corners of her job! Her truly warmhearted care and attention made all the difference to our vacation and exemplified the attitude that we felt from all of the staff at the ranch and the atmosphere throughout the entire property. Our visit to The Ranch at Rock Creek was absolutely a trip of a lifetime!

I had a recent brief but amazing stay at rock creek. From the arrival, to housekeeping service, to the meals, everything was five star. The lodge room i stayed in was impeccably clean and well designed. The meals were excellent. I highly recommend the ranch for an authentic Montana ranch experience.
