This week we saddle up and play cowgirl and cowboy at The Ranch at Rock Creek hotel in Montana, a working ranch surrounded only by the beauty of mother nature. There’s nothing in sight for miles, but with a laundry list of outdoor activities to choose from, a spa, an ice skating rink, cinema, bowling alley, farm to table food and a six-page wine list — with everything from a simple glass of Pinot Grigio to an extravagant bottle of Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet Grand Cru 200 for $2,400, no one ever has any reason to leave.

The details below —
