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. …

Property's Favorite Review
Well where to start, this is going to be a long one…..deep breath, here we go!! We read the reviews as most do, and were blown away with the wonderful remarks by people, and cautiously thought, could it be that good really? Well it honestly is, we stayed in the cabin sugar loaf, and it was wonderful…spacious, beautifully decorated and the double steam shower was fantastic, we had our own hot tub on the back which was lovely and we used it often, especially after horse riding!! Now for the cleaning ninja’s, they have a knack of cleaning your room when you are out, so you go to eat and when you get back as if by magic the cabin is tidy and sparkling again…they are a credit to Triple Creek they really are! The food was fantastic the head chef Jake made us a lovely steak one night, no request was too much trouble, the breads were wonderful, my husband particularly like the biscuits ( we call them scones in the uk), and we both loved the chorizo bread, it was sooooo good, well done to Carmen for that! A big thank you to all of the staff that served us and I’m sorry but I will have to name them all, they deserve it……Daniel ( top banana) he knows what that means 👍, Eli, Mac, Graeme, Josie, Christy, Jani, Baylee, and on our last evening a lovely girl from Tuscon who’s name we can’t remember…sorry! And we mustn’t forget David who did the wine, thank you for keeping it flowing!! I would recommend you to visit the bar upstairs and have Damien or Amanda make you a lovely drink, We have to say a special thank you to Damien, he made us the most wonderful drinks and his conversation was so pleasant and knowledgable, he is most definitely a credit to Tripple Creek, and we miss his conversation, and his company every day….and not to forget Lucas what a star you are. I had never ridden a horse before going, my husband had, but a long time ago, so we were a bit apprehensive about it, but we needn’t have worried we were taken very good care of by all up at riders roost, for myself I would especially like to thank Skylar…..you made my first ever horse ride so wonderful, I will never be able to thank you enough! My husband did three rides in total and we would like to thank them all, Skylar, Pete, Rose, Zane, Faith and Hannah, and of course the horses Chief, Hooey and my lovely and patient Ponderosa x The scenic drive was wonderful, and really is a must do thing, Dakota took us and another couple and we had the most fantastic time, it’s a little hairy going up the side of a steep hill / mountain, but I felt comfortable in his ability, so just sat back and enjoyed the fantastic scenery….it was bliss! The saphire panning for me was a huge highlight, I was addicted, how is it that a lady of 51 can have so much fun playing in dirt? Well have a go yourself and you will see 🙂 I have to say a big thank you to Joshua, you took care of me and made sure I was okay, brought me sunscreen and made sure I had drinks, nothing was too much trouble for you, and we would both like to say thank you to you for making logging camp such a great experience, you are another person who is a huge credit to the place, THANK YOU x And lastly, but by no means least, all of the lovely people on the desk….Sue, Rhonda, Catherine and Joshua……and Wendy who collected and returned us to the airport, thank you to you all! So if you are still with me here you will see that we had the most wonderful time, the hiking was out of this world, the horse riding was wonderful, the food was excellent, the panning for sapphires was the best time, the logging camp was such fun, but the people were what made the place so wonderful, we will never forget you or Triple Creek, and we know we will be back some day soon. X THANK YOU SO MUCH X …

This property was excellent in every way. The food and activities along with the staff were absolutely great. The accommodations were equally fantastic.I have been to several dude ranches which were great but did not measure up to Triple Creek Ranch.The location was magnificent with the trees and beautiful sculptures throughout the property.

This resort is nestled in to the Bitterroot mountains. It feels like you are millions of miles away from the hustle and bustle and yet your every need is met. The accommodations are top notch; you get comfort and quality. Every meal was deliciously prepared in accordance with our dietary restrictions. Lots of activities to choose from for every level of athlete including horseback riding, fishing, hiking and swimming. Can’t wait to visit again!

This was our first time staying at Triple Creek Ranch. The rooms are awesome. The staff is awesome. The activities are awesome. The food is awesome. The service is awesome. The location is awesome. The other guests are awesome. Did I mention Triple Creek Ranch is an awesome experience. While it is expensive, it is worth every penny. The five star reviews are all accurate. Anything less than a five star review must be from a deranged person and should be ignored.

My third visit to Triple Creek was fantastic (as always)! They let us check in early at 1130 before going to have a lovely lunch outside in the beautiful spring weather. We then went straight to puzzling! The staff were so accommodating!! On Cinco de Mayo, one of the puzzlers called for a pitcher of Margaritas for 20 to be delivered to the Ponderosa. Within 10 minutes, all the ingredients were there and ready to be assembled - including the salt and extra limes. The next day was Derby day and once again, a round of Mint Juleps (with fresh mint) was delivered after our request. Truly, it was a fantastic stay in which service is always premier. The cabin was beautiful - and that steam shower is always a favorite of mine! The food was delicious- especially the orange juice, scallops, salsa, thai curry, pancakes, almond muffins, gingerbread cookies, coconut macaron cookies, and creme brulee. The blackberry-yuzu sorbet is super powerful and unique. I love that their ice cream and sorbet flavors change after running out. There is always the option to customize- which is lovely. Truly one of the best resorts in the world!! We will be back!!!…

I will never go there! I booked a trip there a year in advance almost, and 4 months prior to going my husband was diagnosed with cancer. I cancelled well before their 60 day policy, and have had nothing but problems with them returning my deposit. I spoke with Renee the controller who was very rude and began yelling at me because I had questions pertaining to my refund. As if I’m not going thru enough as it is…! I had every intention to see this place, and many friends of mine were also wondering if this was a good place to vacation. I’m saying definitely NO way now. They have terrible customer service! I’ll spend my money elsewhere!

Dear kaymV9047IR Our thoughts are with you and your family as you are dealing with your husband's illness. We know that can be very stressful. From research into your reservation, it did end up taking 14 days for your refund, but it was refunded immediately on our end. Unfortunately, it got hung up with our third-party credit card processing company. I do apologize for that. We pride ourselves in the customer service that we provide to our guests, and we are very sorry that you do not feel like you received that service. We truly do hope for a healthy recovery for your husband and happy wishes for your future. Sincerely, The Triple Creek Management Team

We absolutely loved it! The town of Darby is really small so don't expect any chain restaurants, Walmart or other big stores. That's exactly what we wanted, a true getaway, and that's what the TCR felt like. We stayed in one of the Sugar Cabins. It was perfectly cozy & very comfy. The king-sized bed & pillows were super comfy. The bathroom was very nice & roomy. Speaking of roomy, the shower could've held a football team! Two rain shower heads & a large tub. Fireplace was ready for us to light every night. We enjoyed the hot tub on the side deck in the evenings. Food was definitely gourmet dining & plated beautifully. We ate way too much! If we had an activity planned for the next day, the activities staff would contact us to see if we wanted a packed lunch. The next day, it was perfectly packed and already there at our activity's location. There were a number of activities to choose from - you could either be as busy or as lazy as you want. Service was top notch. We felt pampered by the staff the entire time. Would love to go back.…
