South Woodford on some evenings reminds us of the Wild West, so it was lovely to welcome Jennifer O'Donohue. She is Sheriff (aka Sales and Marketing Director) for the fabulous Triple Creek Ranch. It's a 5-star, adults-only, all-inclusive experience nestled in the heart of the Montana Rocky Mountains. Choose from 25 private cabins (some with their own hot tub) and oh-so-many activities including horseback riding, fly fishing and Sapphire panning. That last one has you searching for real gems that show you why Montana is nicknamed The Treasure State. And yes, you can keep any precious stones you find. All of this comes with sensational service of the kind you'd expect from a Relais & Châteaux property. The nearest airport is Missoula - which has great connections through Seattle, where you may consider staying beforehand – and the average stay at Triple Creek is four nights. Pop by and we'll show you more. Jennifer was very kind to visit us, and it was lovely to see her. However, how she managed to get that horse on the Central line will forever remain a mystery.
