Lodge at Whitefish Lake

My husband and I have been repeat guests of this lodge for over 20 years. The location is superb. Summer is actually our favorite time when the lake is active with boating and seaplanes. This time, because we live in Wyoming for part of the year, we opted for a three day Fall trip to enjoy Oktoberfest in charming, downtown, Whitefish. The complementary airport shuttle was appreciated as we fly ourselves into Glacier GPI. Brady, our driver, from the lodge, showed up on schedule. What a great addition to the lodge! Big smile, great attitude, he is the absolute best kind of employee to welcome us to Whitefish. He asked if we wanted to take the scenic tour back to the Lodge or go through downtown. We opted for the scenic tour as we had planned to go downtown after check-in. Brady was an absolute joy. I can see him, one day, becoming general manager! I told him as much! Actually, all of the employees we encountered were top-notch. I do not remember the young lady of Jamaican descent at the front desk, but she was very good as well. As we had come in early, they did not have a room right away, but they took our bags and stored them and made arrangements for us to go downtown while we waited for our room to be ready. Brady took us downtown and recommended a place for a late breakfast. The front desk texted us when our room was ready about 2 PM. The shuttles run every hour to go downtown and pick up to go back to the Lodge, 10 minutes after every hour. Pick up is very convenient at the lodge’s sister hotel, the FireBrand, downtown. Every afternoon the lodge hosts a free cocktail in the lobby starting around 5 PM. As guests, we usually walk around the grounds before dinner at the boathouse. The boathouse, breakfasts, dinners and bar menu were all excellent. Staff equally so! I looked back at my last review, and I have to close with the some of the same comments for improvements. We stayed in the Viking Lodge, which is connected to the lodge by a bridge over the main roadway. What’s nice about this section of the hotel is the indoor pool, hot tub, and gym. It’s an easy walk to the main lodge. That said, the walkway and main hallways of the Viking lodge need a refresh. New paint and carpeting are pretty much essential and what I recommended the last time. Decor is dated and looks worn out. In our room, we appreciated the Instant hot water and good water pressure in the shower and bathtub. I would highly recommend changing out the lighting in the bathroom to the newer make up mirror type lighting. It’s very dark in the bathrooms. Also, consider changing out mattresses and comforters, as needed. An easy refresh. The gym was extremely crowded, very early. Since there are only about three treadmill’s, I would recommend a sign that asks guests to limit their time to no more than 20 minutes. In addition, the inside hot tub and pool area was constantly inundated with children, running all over the place and jumping into the pool and hot tub. I would

This hotel captures a mountain lodge feel - cozy and warm - with a fireplace in the lobby and in the rooms. There are a couple good restaurants on site that face the lake and there is a very nice spa downstairs. The rooms are a good size and comfortable. The outdoor area by the lake is great with a pool, hot tub, and tiki bar. I appreciated the shuttle from and to the airport and downtown. The staff were helpful and friendly. I’d definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay recently at The Lodge Condos. We had a two bedroom so that gave us plenty of room. Very clean and comfortable. Great view. Enjoyed watching the sunset from our balcony and having a few meals out there too. Very relaxing and quiet. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Great muffins at the snack shop. Will definitely plan to come again. Would love to bring the family next time.

This is the best place to stay if you like to have a variety of things to do without needing to leave the resort. The friendly staff, the top notch service, and the accomodations are fantastic! We come every year and it is a highlight for us as a couple.

Everything was top notch. Try it, you will not be disappointed!! Everyone was helpful and friendly. The amenities were unbelievable. There is so much to do or if you just want to relax it is the place. Scenery is indescribable

Our stay at the Lodge was absolutely incredible! We made sure to soak up all the amenities, and it was a great choice, as there was something for everyone to enjoy, from our 85-year-old to our 2-year-old. Every single person we came across was welcoming and knowledgeable. Everywhere we went in Whitefish, if we mentioned we were staying at the Lodge, we were met with compliments and praise for such a cool place. It was a 10/10 experience!
