Brush Creek Ranch

USA

If, like us, you are a big fan of the American neo-western TV series 'Yellowstone', created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, that fellows the story of the Dutton family, the powerful owners of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, you surely will love to experience an unforgettable and committed-to-the environment stay at the award-winning rooted-in- history all-inclusive and eco-conscious luxury Brush Creek Ranch. Located outside of Saratoga in south central Wyoming's North Platte River Valley and sitting on 30,000 acres of secluded wilderness and fresh mountain air, verdant river valleys, lush forests and majestic rock formations, the latter is with no doubt the perfect grand western destination to enjoy the true and legendary Spirit of the 'American West' but also discover a sustainable way of ranching on this working cattle ranch amid rolling hills, and reconnect with Mother Earth. Settled by the Sterrett brothers in 1884, the huge property was acquired in 2008 by late Bruce White who was Chairman and CEO of White Lodging, one of the most respected names in the hotel industry and operator of award-winning premium hotel brands across the country, and his wife Beth. His family is proudly honoring his legacy and continuing his passion for his beloved Ranch, committing to restoring historic buildings, cultivating grazing pastures, and supporting the natural ecosystem. Depending on the season you booked your trip and which accommodation you are looking for, you will have the choice between the ultra-private collection of three historic guest ranches: the family Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch, a Preferred Hotels & Resorts LEGEND® destination and an Exclusive Resorts and Preferred's Virtuoso property; the adults-only luxury spa resort Magee Homestead, a Relais & Châteaux property and a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Hotel; the secluded and serene creekside location ideal for glamping, nature-based getaways, fishing, and hunting French Creek (open only from mid-May to mid-October) which is an ORVIS Dual-Endorsed Fly Fishing and Wing Shooting Lodge. In Winter, the ranch’s private 600-acre ski mountain allows an exclusive and private skiing at Green Mountain (only 18 guests at a time) complete with gear rental, expert guides, and a gourmet lunch. As well as wellness retreats. Icing on the cake: a fully immersive day at The Farm at Brush Creek to enjoy epicurean and culinary adventures and learn about the inner workings of a sustainable cattle ranch, take an hands-on cooking class with one of the award-winning chefs at the Bakery and then enjoy the fruit of your labor during a gourmet private lunch at the Cheyenne Club. You also could visit the sustainable Greenhouses (which use the innovative and eco-conscious hydroponics systems) or have a Distillery tour and a wine testing. Moreover than relaxing, you'll have a lot on your plate.
