TRIPLE CREEK RANCH

While the interior style of Main Lodge might not be to everyone's taste, the cabins and private lodges are contemporary, stylish and wonderfully opulent, with sumptuous beds and plenty of modern art dominating the walls. The fascinating owners, Craig and Barbara add a special aspect to this ranch, treating guests like friends and often inviting them to their house to admire their impressive western art collection. They have a varied and fascinating past; how many hotel proprietors do you know that can lay claim to being an Ambassador to Finland, a trained astronaut or the only woman to have landed a F-16 on an aircraft carrier? Their superior knowledge and diverse history makes this dynamic duo and their entire highly-competent team a fairly unsurpassed work force. There is a wide range of exhilarating activities to keep you busy by day, wildlife to appreciate and admire and simply spectacular scenery to enjoy towards the snow-capped mountains of the Rockies.
