"Tucked into the Montana Rockies, this 2 Michelin Key, Relais & Chateaux forested retreat centers around a grand lodge and offers private log cabins and ranch homes in a distinctly Western atmosphere infused with original art and roaming native wildlife. No two stays are the same: mix and match authentic ranch activities like cattle working and horseback riding with more leisurely pursuits such as fly fishing or stargazing, whether from the cozy Chipmunk Cabin or the Stage Stop Ranch Home. For a take-home memento, visit the Double H Hat Workshop or a leather working class to burn, stamp, and tool your own leathergoods, including ornaments during the Christmas season." - Nicole Kliest

"Just 75 miles south of Missoula, Triple Creek nevertheless manages to feel like it’s in its own world. 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.
