We loved every minute of our stay here - the Lodge is an amazing and historic building that is very impressive inside and out. TJ the bartender was super fun and friendly, as were all the staff we interacted with. Dinner at Buchanan's was exquisite ... we can't wait to come back!

Great location, very clean and beautiful lodge. We loved the lobby area with the fireplace and that we could do our laundry. The room was nice and the beds super comfortable. We will definitely stay here again. We love Whitefish, Montana.

I mean, the guy named Marc at the front desk was amazing, and breakfast was phenomenal. But one female front desk person wasn't intending to help, like when we asked how to go to Glacier or Flathead. She was trying to avoid us, so yeah, overall, it was good.

It is in a woods setting, beautiful scenery, and a lodge feeling inside. It is a little far from the main part of town. We are a more mature couple so carrying our things upstairs was a little challenging. Overall a pleasant experience.

Off the beaten path in summer. Maybe nice as a ski lodge but in summer it just feels worn out. Hallway carpets are a mess, rooms are musty. You can hear neighbors on either side easily.
Needs some strong updating and deep cleaning.
