Purchased in 2017 by AMB West Chairman and Owner Arthur M. Blank, West Creek borders Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana about 25 miles north of Yellowstone National Park. Situated on the Yellowstone River, the 6,700-acre ranch features spectacular natural resources on unspoiled land, one mile above sea level, all protected by conservation easements. Different from a traditional guest ranch, West Creek is a unique, invitation-only conference and retreat space serving as a destination for nonprofit groups to come together and collectively make a difference, strengthen communities and find purpose greater than themselves. The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation team hosts local, national and global leaders at West Creek who are pursuing innovative solutions to complex challenges of vital significance such as well-being, urban housing, climate resilience, and the health of military veterans. The Blank Family Foundation offers full-service retreats to organizations focused on issues aligned with the foundation priorities. West Creek offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity: seamless transitions between a modern meeting space for impactful sessions and unplugged outdoor experiences in the Montana high country. Auster at Dome Mountain is the newest project from the AMB West team — a hospitality venture coming to life in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. This property with riverfront acreage will be open to the public and operational year-round. Currently in development, the project will include 20 cabins, a restaurant and bar, a small coffee shop, and a seasonal outdoor pool. With opportunities for outdoor education, recreation, wildlife watching, and winter exploration, the ranch is designed to offer all guests an immersive experience whether they are stopping by for lunch or staying for a week.
