Concierge.com's insider take:
Yes, it's a guest ranch. Yes, there are serious cattle drives, 24,000 acres to explore by horseback, and fly-fishing on the trout-rich Bitterroot River. But Triple Creek Ranch's main objective is to coddle guests with outstanding food and wine. The heart of the operation, built at the foot of Trapper Peak 75 miles south of Missoula, is the kitchen and glass-encased cellar with 230 wines, many from the Pacific Northwest. A Relais & Chateaux property—the only one in Montana—it earns its culinary stripes with dishes that change daily. A sampling might include Copper River salmon with spring asparagus, or rack of lamb crusted in herbs and accompanied with black truffle mashed potatoes. (Forget about losing weight.) While the ranch is open all year, vintner weekends are a big draw in summer, with tastings and seminars from notable winemakers such as Cyril Chappellet of Napa's Pritchard Hill. As far as accommodations, the lodge has 19 private log cabins that range from studio-size to the massive El Capitan, with its separate dining and living rooms. And with a ratio of almost two staffers to every guest, the service is attentive and highly personal (they'll know your name). Rates include all meals and house wine and cocktails.
