In the mood for roughing it, without REALLY roughing it? Well, City Slickers, we’ve got just the place for you.

The Ranch at Rock Creek piles on the rustic charm with all the comforts of a five-star resort. Think of it as camping at the Four Seasons. Located on 10-square miles of land just outside Philipsburg, Montana, you’ll be “on top of the world” surrounded by majestic mountains and evergreen forests.

Recommended Resort:  The Ranch at Rock Creek. There are several kinds of accommodations at this sprawling ranch. Nine can be found in the Granite Lodge, each room designed in an iconic Western theme for the perfect local ambiance.

Three private options can be found across the way: the Bluebird Cabin with a bright open floor plan; the Loft, recreated in the 19th century barn with an exposed rafter ceiling; and the Wrangler, boasting a covered porch and soothing sounds of the nearby creek.

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you can try one of the canvas cabins, a mix of wood and tent for the true outdoor experience. There are also two wonderful private cabins with multiple rooms and amenities.

Check-In:  79 Carriage House Lane, Philipsburg, Montana. 877-786-1545, www.theranchatrockcreek.com

Check-Out:  The Spa. What would a Mini-Moon be without a little pampering…even in Montana! Located in the Granite Lodge, the facility is warm, inviting and convenient.

Dip you feet in one of the foot baths, get a relaxing massage, or try a Red Flower Nature Facial, an uplifting acupressure treatment utilizing potent and pure white peat, arctic berries, mushrooms and concentrated antioxidants.

Don’t Miss:  The Activities. You’re in Montana…get outside and breath that rich mountain air! Fly-fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, nature walking, and archery…the options are endless.

And if you’re still feeling robust after a day out on the range, check out the four-lane bowling alley at the Granite Lodge. It’s hard to strike out with all the fun that awaits you and your partner at Rock Creek.
