Here, though, it is possible to experience the spectacular landscape of the heart of Montana while making your home in a luxurious private cabin.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the Bitterroot Mountains near Trapper Peak, surrounded by pine forests and expansive Montana wilderness.
The rooms
Standalone cedar and log cabins feature wood-burning fireplaces, log-post beds, original Western fine art, and private outdoor hot tubs set on forested decks.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Surrounded by pine forest, the heated outdoor pool and hot tub open onto a paved sun deck.
Spa and sauna
Fireplaces warm the timber treatment rooms during herbal scrubs and massages, steps from a cedar dry sauna.
The gym
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the forest from the log-walled gym, and fitness stations line the trails.
Restaurant
Main Lodge Dining Room
Under vaulted log ceilings and a central hearth, candlelit tables host four-course dinners of local game and valley produce.
It offers that rare combination of rustic elegance and personal service in an untamed corner of Montana known for wild adventure.
Rooftop Lounge & Bar
Pull a sculpted tractor-seat stool up to the timber bar for huckleberry cocktails and bottles from the wine cellar.
How it began
In 1993, aviation pioneer Barbara Barrett and her husband Craig bought the property, transforming a historic spread into an acclaimed Western sanctuary.
“With 25 log cabins looking out onto the Bitterroot Mountains, all-inclusive Triple Creek pairs upscale rusticity with isolation—we're talking exposed log walls, slate bathrooms, and private hot tubs.”
