“Perfection! Our stay was beyond our expectations. We can't say enough about our experience. The Ranch at Rock Creek is ultra exclusive and luxurious. The staff is superb. They made us feel like VIPs from the minute our driver, Neil, met us at the airport and Brooke welcomed us at the car as we pulled up to the Lodge.”

“Our driver to the ranch, Kyle, pointed out eagles perched on posts, the new calves when we saw cattle and gave us a driving tour of Philipsburg - the historic western town near the ranch. Our driver back to the airport at the end of our stay took us through Philipsburg again since we had time and pointed out different things along the way. ”
