Brush Creek might ooze luxury and quality, but at the heart of this Wyoming guest ranch is a genuine working cattle ranch. Located outside of Saratoga in south central Wyoming's North Platte River Valley, Brush Creek Ranch has been a homestead and ranch since the 1880s and has been home to numerous families and cattle herds since that time. The Ranch was last acquired in late 2008 by Bruce White, one of the most respected names in the hotel industry, whose vision is to share Brush Creek’s magnificent land with those who would truly appreciate its culture and heritage. “Our family has had a passion for service and hospitality for more a quarter of a century,” explains Bruce. “We wanted to create a Western getaway that utilized our vast experience in the industry while striking a perfect balance between wholesome recreation, economic sustainability, environmental stewardship and preservation of the culture of the West. The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is the fulfillment of this vision and exemplifies the true spirit of the West.”
Nestled on 15,000 acres of refined, western landscape in south central Wyoming, Brush Creek has everything you could want from a luxury dude ranch vacation – endless activities, luxury accommodations, outstanding meals and so much more. Facilities and accommodations at this Wyoming guest ranch are second to none. Prepare to be amazed at Brush Creek’s stately lodge, luxury spa, cabin suites and residences, lodge rooms and endless array of authentic outdoor adventures – including unparalleled Orvis-endorsed fly fishing across the Platte River Valley.
