Award-Winning Service & Hospitality

Each of our staff members takes pride in providing a superior level of anticipatory service that defines the Triple Creek Ranch experience. Guests routinely marvel at the thoughtful ways they have been “Triple Creek-ed” and a passing remark manifests itself in an unspoken wish granted. A Dining Room server overhears a guest’s comment that her mother would just love the chocolate truffle petit-four served at the end of that night’s meal. Upon departure she is presented with a gift box of truffles hand made by our Executive Pastry Chef to bring home for her mother. A guest on a horseback ride spies a colorful feather alongside the trail in a location where it isn’t safe to dismount. He mentions the feather while recounting his adventure to an Experience Planner, who then slips away to hunt for the feather and presents it to our delighted guest later that day. Another guest is chatting with a Dining Room server about the dessert selection on the evening’s menu and confesses that she’s not really big on sweets. She jokes that she would honestly be just as happy with a meatball for dessert, which we of course deliver much to her surprise and joy! We take a genuine pleasure in providing this level of detailed attention.

Responses to our simple guest surveys are often filled with the names of Staff members who enhanced and enlivened a vacation here. We are pleased to hear the sentiment often repeated that “We make a point to never go to the same place twice… but we are coming back to Triple Creek Ranch!”


Relais & Châteaux

Relais & Châteaux is an exclusive collection of over 500 of the world’s finest boutique hotels and gourmet restaurants. Since its inception in France in 1954, Relais & Châteaux has provided discerning travelers the resources to plan luxury experiences and has set the penultimate standards for quality and service. Each Relais & Châteaux property is privately owned and operated, yet united and guided by their passion for sharing luxurious escapes, highly personal service with exquisite attention to detail, extraordinary cuisine, and a rich sense of place and cultural immersion.

The criteria for becoming a member of the Relais & Châteaux are stringent. Following an invitation to apply, a candidate property forwards its official dossier to the group’s head office in Paris. If the application meets a set of formal conditions, suitability is evaluated during an initial property inspection. After these preliminary efforts, the establishment is visited anonymously (several times in the year following application) to determine whether its services comply with the Relais & Châteaux Quality Charter. These inspection reports are examined by the board of directors which approves the acceptance of new members. Once bestowed with membership, properties are anonymously evaluated annually to endure that quality and service levels are maintained.

To choose Relais & Châteaux is to experience an unforgettable celebration of the senses. From vineyards in Napa Valley to beaches in Bali, from olive trees in Provence to lodges in South Africa, Relais & Châteaux offers a chance to explore a personal “Route du Bonheur” (Road to Happiness) and discover unique places in a variety of destinations.

Triple Creek Ranch has been a proud member of Relais & Châteaux since 1995 and we use their quality standards as the cornerstone of our own service philosophy. We are passionate about service and dedicated to providing an unparalleled luxury ranch resort experience for our guests.
