Testimonial

“Due to COVID -19, we cancelled our reservations for our annual Board meeting in Scottsdale – we needed a plan B. We wanted it in Montana and full service with all the amenities – meeting space, spa, activities, and options for food. I called several properties in Montana, within the next 48 hours we were locked and loaded, and Troy had everything finalized and PERFECT at The Ranch at Rock Creek. Troy became a beacon in an unknown world and Laura our Events Manager is over the top wonderful. Even when our group had a fast change of events – she responded like a champion. She shifts gears every moment of every day like it was nothing!  Accommodations – superb – comfy,  cozy, and thank you for the creek music – how cool is that to hear that when you wake up and when you go to bed? Food was great. I’d go back in a heartbeat and I hope to send more business whether company retreats or just families wanting the perfect vacation!

I am a Montana girl ~ born and bred and I have been very protective over the years as far as outsiders coming in to “our” paradise …..The Ranch at Rock Creek is very respectful of the land, the community, and its people.” ~ Patsy Galiher, Flathead Travel Service

We will continue to offer private activities, but space them out to ensure we can clean all the gear and sanitize it before every activity. Our Sharecare Health Security Verification with Forbes Travel Guide requires that we maintain every precaution to keep guests and staff safe.

Due to spacing of activity start times and sanitation of our extensive included equipment, each day we will include one guided activity and one nature-based activity. We have added 11 new guided or self-guided activities to ensure families will be able to explore further than ever before while creating space and time for proper sanitation and social distancing protocols for guided activities. For example, you might enjoy horseback riding in the morning and then sapphire mining, disc golf, hiking or Respite on Rock Creek in the afternoon.

We have staggered our start times for activities so that we can control the number of people in the Rod & Gun Club. Most fittings will be done at the site of the activity. We ask that you abide by start times for the safety of our staff and guests.

Guides and staff will wear masks indoors, but may choose not to wear them on outdoor activities. Please contact your Ranch Ambassador if you would like to request masks to be used during outdoor activities.

We ensure full sanitization services between room stays, including new COVID-19 protocols that have been part of our practice since reopening June 1, 2020.
