A sneak peek!

Wouldn’t it be lovely to stay in this gorgeous guest room?

It’s Friday afternoon, and that means it’s time to play Name That Mountain!

Can you name this lovely peak? Post your best guess and we’ll reveal the correct answer and photo credit on Monday morning. Have fun guessing, and have a great weekend!

We recently discovered the breathtakingly understated line of mirrors, lighting and furniture called Ochre, which we think would bring the right touch of modern elegance to the high country. These designs feel perfectly edited and balanced, with just the right amount of curve and detail. (We also love the company’s moody photography.)

Browse more Ochre furnishings—and find a retailer—at ochre.net.

In the May/June issue of Mountain Living (on newsstands and online now!) we told you about the Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch, a rustic-luxe guest ranch near Saratoga, Wyoming, with a fascinating Western history. If you haven’t read the story yet, you can get up to speed here.

Itching to go? The ranch is getting ready to kick off the summer season, and they’re celebrating with a special travel package that makes a stay here a bit less of a splurge.

Beginning Friday, May 25 through Sunday, June 10, the Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is offering a special rate of $360 per person, per night, based on double occupancy (regularly $425). That includes:

Luxury accommodations — and we mean luxury! Cabins and rooms were decorated by the design superstars at Simeone Deary Design Group and feature comfy beds, luxurious bathrooms and plenty of authentic Western touches.

All meals and beverages — This includes hearty breakfasts and lunches, gourmet dinners served family style in the Trailhead Lodge’s beautiful dining room or outside at an open-fire chuck wagon, plus any bottle you care to pull from the wine cellar (yes, this is as fun as it sounds) and cocktails at the charming saloon.

Unlimited on-ranch activities, including gear and guides — Think horseback riding, fly-fishing on private waters, shooting at the Brush Creek Ranch Gun Club, and mountain biking and hiking on more than 45 miles of trails. There’s also a kids program for little ones between the ages of 4 and 11.

A $100 ranch credit to be used in the spa or General Store — We recommend using it to buy one of the plush robes you’ll find in your room, which (trust us) you won’t want to take off.

An authentic cattle drive and round-up event, plus live Western entertainment — Ever dreamed of singing old camp songs around the fire? This is your big chance!

And last but not least, a welcome gift for each guest — because who doesn’t like presents?

The package is based on a minimum 2-night stay and is valid 5/25/12-6/10/12. Rate excludes a 10% ranch fee, taxes, spa experiences and off-ranch activities. Restrictions may apply.

To learn more and see more, visit brushcreekranch.com. To book your stay, call 307-327-5284 or email guestservices@brushcreekranch.com and mention the 25% off Memorial Day and opening week package.
