Unlike any other destination in the country - no less the world - the rugged landscape of Montana is a place of uncompromising beauty. The Ranch at Rock Creek, located within driving distance of both Missoula and Butte international airports, boasts an ideal combination of access and isolation, providing a true wilderness getaway with the luxury of refined resort amenities. Adjacent to Deer Lodge National Forest, the property itself comprises over 6,600 acres of land, through which six miles of river run, and the peaks of the John Long Mountains tower majestically around it all. Three types of accommodations are offered at The Ranch at Rock Creek. The Granite Lodge, a central point at the resort, houses luxurious guest rooms and suites that enjoy the convenience of in-suite amenities such as The Great Room and Silver Dollar Saloon. Private homes are available for those seeking more privacy and spaciousness while still being within easy access of the main lodge, and the Canvas Cabins are truly embraced with the environment, designed as luxury tent structures that bring glam to "camping."

I cannot express how amazing, fantastic, wonderful this Ranch is. Everyone and everything was perfection. Our 17 member family all went together, ages ranging from 5 to 74 years of age! They accommodated us beautifully and there was truly something for everyone to enjoy. We found the staff so cooperative at arranging what we wanted to do. It's expensive, but we all felt it provide great value.

Our family had a fantastic time at Ranch at Rock Creek. Now we understand why it is considered "bucket list" for people. We loved the pre-planning concierge; she was efficient and extremely competent more than most. Atmosphere - A (kids loved biking around by themselves after meals) On Property Activities - A+ (shooting, horse back riding were exceptional) Food - B+ (This is where they could improve upon, especially within R&C network. Ex: when asked for sparkling water, they gave us flat multiple nights in a row. It seems that their dining staff needs more training.) All in all, it was a fantastic trip and we will definitely return.

An absolute must if thinking of a dude ranch experience! Gorgeous location, feels very private, not crowded, super fun activities- especially loved archery course, horseback riding, pistols and rifle shooting, sapphire mining, and river float/fly fishing combo. Newbies to almost all activities, but had fun and patient teachers. Book activities well in advance. Went with all adult family but many younger kids there who were having a fantastic time! Food just ok but service fantastic. Really fun area with bowling, bar, billiards, etc. Bring clothing layers. First week of June had warm temps to snow!

Absolutely amazing. Truly nothing you could ask for that they don’t accommodate. Real customer service is about anticipating what guests will want before they even ask, and this team goes above and beyond at every level. I stayed in the Bluebird Cabin, which was exceptional. I was told it used to be the spa, and it shows. It even has a private sauna inside, which made the whole experience feel incredibly special and restorative. Being surrounded by fresh, crisp Montana air and nature was the perfect reset. The activities on site are outstanding and so well run. Every experience felt thoughtful, seamless, and genuinely fun. It’s the kind of place where you have the best bonding time with whoever you travel with. We did skiing, snowmobiling, shooting, skiing and horseback riding. If I had to choose just one must-do activity, it would absolutely be snowmobiling. Hands down, the highlight and something I’ll never forget. The staff truly make this place what it is. Special thanks to Wayne, Hunter, Emma, Liz, Gracie, and Brianna — each of them went above and beyond and made us feel so well looked after. This was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken and an experience I’ll be recommending to all my friends and family. A truly unforgettable stay and wish we stayed even longer!

An incredible stay...The Ranch at Rock Creek is such a magical place! The service was outstanding, the staff was unbelievably welcoming and helpful - it seemed like there was not a request they couldn't meet. The food was first class, the accommodations were decorated to perfection and the wealth of activities left nothing to be desired.
