Being the outdoorsy girl that I am, I’ve recently become quite obsessed with the whole ranch plus spa concept. Yes, this exists – and it’s amazing.
I searched all across the United States for the best ranch spas in the country. All of these luxury lodgings have a full spa on site, coupled with the epitome of class and sophistication…at a ranch! Need I say more? Here are my picks for the best ranch spas in the US.
The Ranch at Rock Creek
Philipsburg, Montana | www.theranchatrockcreek.com
Nestled in one of Montana’s most pristine valleys, The Ranch at Rock Creek offers year-round unique vacations on an authentic 19th century homestead. Accommodations range from the main lodge to cabins to luxury homes and even a remodeled 19th-century barn. The full-service luxury spa uses clever names for their treatments in true Montana style, such as the Fisherman’s Facial and Saddle Sore Soak. One of the coolest things about this resort ranch is their Silver Dollar Saloon where they have loads of games, including a 4-lane bowling alley, pool table and more!
Sorrel River Ranch Resort & Spa
Moab, Utah | www.sorrelriver.com
Spread across 160 acres in Utah, Sorrel River Ranch Resort & Spa has a variety of cabins and suites. What makes this ranch resort unique is that they have a petting zoo! The spa overlooks the Colorado River and their restaurants offer farm to table dining. One of the great things about this ranch is the close proximity to Arches National Park, one of the best in Utah.
The Resort at Paws Up
Greenough, Montana | www.pawsup.com
Situated on a sprawling 37,000-acre working cattle ranch in central, western Montana, the Resort at Paws Up is unique in that there is no main lodge. Instead, accommodations are either luxury cabins and homes or the ultimate glamping experience in a luxury tent. Their spa, appropriately named Spa Town, is a colony of pristine white tents stitched together by a wooden boardwalk. Not to mention they also have farm to table dining amid their numerous dining options.
The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch
Saratoga, Wyoming | www.brushcreekranch.com
Here you have the epitome of a luxury dude ranch, if one ever thought such concept even existed and in Wyoming… it does! Located on 30,000 acres of Rocky Mountain wilderness, the luxury dude ranch features a 38,000-square foot lodge, a rejuvenating spa, a fine collection of cabin suites & residences and a variety of authentic outdoor adventures for every season, including Orvis-endorsed Fly Fishing and Wingshooting.
Devil’s Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa
Tabernash, Colorado | www.devilsthumbranch.com
Not too far outside Denver is this luxuriously rustic ranch resort. In addition to being environmentally friendly, Devil’s Thumb offers private cabins and cozy lodge rooms, a geothermally-heated pool and hot tub, fine dining, and countless outdoor activities for all the seasons.
