Read what our guests say about us on tripadvisor:

This historic lodge has it all--outside appearance of an old mountain massive log cabin, but inside, the rooms we stayed in were completely and beautifully done up. The owner Doug, and all his helpers were very cordial and added to our visit. Our only regret was not being able to stay much longer. We booked in May for August and were happy we did. I would recommend this place to any traveller wanting the look of the good old days, but all the cleanliness of modern housekeeping.'

'We stayed in the Alpine cabin, 2 couples, 2 bedrooms, great layout w/ kitchen and outdoor covered deck. Its a great place to relax after a day of exploring Glacier N.P. We stayed 5 nights and had all our needs taken care by a willing staff. Enjoyed sitting around the campfire playing music and getting to know Doug and family. We came as strangers, parted as friends. Wonderful place with an interesting history. '
