Named for Eagle’s Canyon,  filled with both bald and golden eagles, the Eagle’s Nest sits up on a small hill overlooking the Middle Fork of Rock Creek.  This warm and inviting log cabin has a private bedroom on the main floor, 2 double beds downstairs, and sofa sleepers.  WiFi and satellite tv bring a little of the new age to this Montana retreat.  The kitchen is furnished with cooking essentials and a propane BBQ sits just off the deck allowing for evening entertainment watching eagles fish the creek below.

The Eagle’s Nest is available this year on a limited basis, and booking is not available online.  Please call Spoon’s Rock Creek Ranch at 406-859-1009 or drop me an email at info@rockcreekcabinmontana.com to ask about 2012 availability.

Our own Rodeo Queen ready for a day on the ranch

Looking for a the right horse to add to your stable?  Spoon’s Rock Creek Ranch outside of Philipsburg, Montana has decided to reduce their herd size and are offering a number of Quarter Horses for sale at this time.

Our  selection ranges from fully broke ranch horses to gently started geldings to a matched set of 2 year old dun colts going back to the famous stallion Hollywood Dun It.  Most are registered AQHA with a few unregistered and one very flashy APHA paint.

Over the years we have been extremely picky about the horses we have selected for the ranch.  Most are geldings, most are very well bred and some have come to us through the legendary WYO Quarter Horse Sale.  Every horse has been selected for their exceptional color, breeding, good looks and personality.

Dun It Twice

Spoon’s Rock Creek Ranch is 15 miles outside of Philipsburg, a town rich with history in mining and ranching. Today this delightful little town of about 900 residents is a fun place to visit.

Rock Creek is Montana’s premiere Blue Ribbon Trout Stream. Its water runs cold and most of the time clear even during hot summer months making it a tremendous home for rainbow, brown, cutthroat and brook trout. With miles of stream wandering through the property the fishing is amazing; whether just off the deck, up or downstream, or off to the east fork of Rock Creek, where beaver ponds dance with daily hatches & hungry fish.

Bookings for the cabin at Spoon’s Rock Creek Ranch are filling up quickly.  There may be times the cabin shows unavailable when we have scheduled maintenance that can be shuffled to another date.  If the date you select shows unavailable, please don’t hesitate to call us directly at 406-859-1009 to see if we can slide something around to accommodate  you.  We truly hope you will chose to stay with us and will do our very best to assist in scheduling.

And exciting news here at Spoon’s Rock Creek Ranch!!  There is a second unit coming this Fall!  We are just finishing up renovating a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house that sits farther up the creek with several decks, a full kitchen and a fabulous view of the Pintlars.  It will have all the same amenities as the existing cabin such as TV &  Internet.  So if you are interested booking for hunting or ski season, give us a call to check on availability for this new space.

Fishing at 2

Our stretch of water here on Rock Creek offers something for every fisher:  man, woman or child!!

Staying in the cabin at Spoon’s Rock Creek Ranch is like a private retreat for your family on the waters of Montana’s Blue Ribbon trout stream.  This cozy cabin is a perfect setting for a family or groups of up to 8 who want an opportunity to spend a weekend enjoying the great Montana Outdoors.

The Middle Fork of Rock Creek is an ideal spot to let your younger ones explore fishing.  There is a wonderful stretch just outside the back door where it is easy for them to get their pole to the water and experience catching a fish. The East Fork has ponds, created by busy beavers, filled with hungry trout and often complimented by blue heron, sand hill cranes, osprey and Canadian geese.  Be sure to look towards the blue sky above as bald and golden eagles nest in the canyon beyond.

When you are not fishing the creek, there is plenty for your family to do close by. Gem Mountain Sapphire Mine is about 5 miles up the road.  You and your family can hunt for sapphires – you can grab a bucket of sapphire gravel, belly up to the wash trough and find Montana Sapphires.  Depending how you handle your gravel and wash screen this
might just be the dirtiest good clean family fun you can have.  We are also just moments away from Georgetown Lake, Discovery Basin ski area, ghost towns and the town of Philipsburg.

One of the sleeper highlights of our trip was the hike over the ridge adjacent to the cabin to see the Ross Creek drainage, which forms the headwaters of Rock Creek. It was absolutely beautiful, and absolutely worth it. This was a family vacation to remember, and we will do everything possible to make it back next year!!”
