The Happiest Place in Montana - The Ranch at Rock Creek and Boulder Creek Lodge share Montana beauty

In all of Montana there exists no more complete and strikingly beautiful resort as The Ranch at Rock Creek. This proclamation echoed by a Forbes Travel Guide feature status.

While I do begrudgingly concede that The Ranch at Rock Creeks' prominent status in Southwest Montana, there does remain millions of travelers traveling the roads of Montana that can/do not fit into their capacities. 

There exists a great deal of commonality between The Ranch at Rock Creek and the Boulder Creek Lodge. The mountains, the numerous spring, summer, fall events that make up southwest Montana, and the special people that make up communities of southwest Montana are shared by both resorts. 

Montana.gov has additional videos depicting the beauty, events, attractions, and many destinations on their website.

In addition for the special company retreat, BCL has WiFi and multiple DSL connections with the regional carrier.

We have 10 beautiful cabins, 10 RV or 5th wheel hookups and many, many pop-up or camping options available.  For that outside entertainment option we have a performance stage and full line catering options available. 

Online reservation are available for 2016.  BCL would very much like to partner with Microsoft Inc. and provide either corporate needs or employee rewards moving forward.

The Happiest Place in Montana - Substituting as a elementary school teacher in Rockford, Illinois

Purchasing the Boulder Creek Lodge in southwest Montana was the result of an eight year search. While we had a fantastic first summer in business at the resort, it was always planned to have an "off-season" that would include a job to augment the first year in a new business.

Thompson Elementary School located in Rockford, Illinois is step one in my journey of living my dream in southwest Montana between May and November. It has been 17 years since I have taught in an elementary school setting.  Perhaps it is time to take a different perspective on the educational process.

The Happiest Place in Montana - Candy Land was a board game, Sweet Palace is a very real to life destination.

Attention Minneapolis, Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois, and Atlanta, Georgia.  The happiest place in Montana just happens to be located 11 miles north from north America's real life, real sweet version of Candy Land the Philipsburg, Montana Sweet Palace in southwest Montana.
The Sweet Palace is known throughout most of the western United States as a place for each and every family to visit for a very special family event. I personally have never seen a child or a child at heart exit the Sweet Palace without a smile or a large bag of candy.

The Happiest Place in Montana: People are stuck: in traffic, their cubicles or daily grind. "It's Time" to fix that

People all over the world are stuck. Some are stuck in traffic, others in their work cubicles and yet others just in their daily grind. For most of the world there exists little opportunity to get away and escape from day to day worries and endless stress encounters. Washington, DC our nations capitol while historic and grand, it does not compare with the beauty of southwest Montana.

Washington, DC has the U.S. Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and its many war memorials.
