What could be better than a cozy mountain cabin with windows overlooking a snowy winter landscape? At Triple Creek Ranch in Darby, Montana, you can enjoy the wonders of the season in luxury. A member of Relais & Châteaux’s portfolio of exceptional properties, Triple Creek has recently been honored by Two MICHELIN Keys.

“We are thrilled to achieve this pair of honors from MICHELIN and Condé Nast Traveler,” said Molly Smith and Kristen Snavely, co-general managers, Triple Creek Ranch. “It’s rare to receive the MICHELIN Key ranking in its first year. We’d also like to extend our deepest appreciation to the readers of Condé Nast Traveler, many of whom are regular and loyal guests at Triple Creek Ranch.”

As stated by MICHELIN, Two Keys indicates “somewhere truly unique and exceptional in every way, where a memorable experience is always guaranteed. A hotel of character, personality and charm that’s operated with obvious pride and considerable care. Eye-catching design or architecture, and a real sense of the locale make this an exceptional place to stay.”

See for yourself with a stay in one of the resort’s 25 log cabins with views of the Bitterroot Mountains, private hot tubs, slate bathrooms and wood-burning fireplaces. The ranch’s main 700-acre property and proximity to Bitterroot National Forest’s 4-million-acre expanse offers a unique Western experience. Winter activities include dog sledding, snowshoeing and horseback riding, with nearby opportunities for alpine and cross-country ski outings.

Thanks to the Artist in Residence program and Artist Workshop Weekends, the resort lays claim to an impressive collection of Western art. There’s creativity in the kitchen as well, with a menu by Executive Chef Jacob Leatherman and a wine list boasting Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence every year since 2012.
