    “Not worth the money. My family and I rented one of their 3 bedroom condos for a week stay in August. The condo was outdated and not cleanly as well as many of the light switches did not work. Additionally the service at the hotel was lacking, the restaurant was understaffed, pool bathroom broken. The manager Howie was nice and offered some compensation for the lack of quality but for being so expensive I would avoid this place and look at other options. My wife spoke to Howie and he said he would check with ownership about additional discounts due to us being unhappy but our email was never returned. For a $13,000 stay this place is not worth it.”

  • We really loved our room, it was across the street so going back & forth to the lodge was difficult for me. A very

    “We drove up from Butte and enjoyed a long weekend. The property is beautiful. And all the staff were so friendly and genuinely nice. The room we booked looked exactly like the picture on the internet. Sane furniture positioning, etc. It was very clean and the bed was so comfy! We enjoyed listening to a 9 year old boy who sat down at the piano by the fireplace and played and sang hit after hit - Sweet Caroline, Bon Jovi. Journey. There are many fireplaces with nice furniture and a calming ambience. The marina is in the back and you can rent pontoons, ski boats, canoes, paddleboards. And the tiki hut by the pool and jacuzzi stayed packed. I do recommend you make reservations early if you want to eat at the hotel restaurant. You can also ear at the bar - same menu as reststaurant - and the lake is in the background and the bar tenders are friendly and Felipe always remembered us. Just a really nice to stay!”

  • The hotel is beautiful. It is in an incredible location. We had a great time.

    “The Lodge at Whitefish Lake has a great location, and our room was spacious and comfortable. We especially liked the fireplace, large bathroom, balcony, and the robes provided in the room. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful. That said, there were several issues that made the stay feel less polished than expected for the price. Self-parking was across the street and a short walk, unless you used valet - and there were plenty of times that the valet workers were not available when we left early in the morning. The air conditioning was not set correctly when we arrived and continued to struggle during our stay. The fireplace pilot light was also not lit, so we needed assistance with that. Housekeeping was quite late on some days, arriving well after 2:00 p.m. The pool area was the biggest disappointment. It was regularly overrun with loud children and was not remotely relaxing. There were also not enough lakeside loungers. For a resort at this price point, an adults-only pool or designated quiet area would make a significant difference. The room also felt overly commercialized. There were snacks, mixers, alcohol, a cutting board and paring knife, and even a teddy bear placed around the room for purchase. Rather than feeling welcoming, it gave the impression that we were being upsold at every turn. At this price, basic items such as bottled water, a few snacks, and adequate coffee supplies should be included. Each day, we were provided with exactly two creamers and two sugars, which was not enough for more than one or two cups of coffee without calling for additional supplies. Other details also felt out of step with a luxury property. The rubber sandals in the closet were ill-fitting and clearly reused regularly; disposable slippers would have been preferable. Guest laundry was located in a separate condo building rather than the main lodge and was self-service only. Room service presentation was also surprisingly basic, with food delivered on a plate with a cover, no salt or pepper, and beverages served in plastic cups. Overall, the property has a beautiful setting, spacious rooms, and friendly staff, but the experience did not feel as relaxing or refined as it should have for the price.”

  • Misses the Mark

    6/10

    “The Lodge at Whitefish markets itself as mountain luxury, but after our stay I'd call it a nice hotel that misses the mark on the details that actually matter. The good: It's genuinely the nicest hotel in the area and the location right on Whitefish Lake is beautiful. The restaurants serve good food, and having a coffee shop on site is a nice touch. The not so good: There was a slight septic smell near the elevator on our floor, and the air conditioner struggled to keep the room cool. Parking is a hassle too. You're either valeting or parking across the street, which adds real time if you're trying to get an early start, especially since it's about 45 minutes to Glacier's west entrance and the park gets crowded fast. The pool area isn't the relaxing escape you'd expect at this price point. Every day we were there it was packed with screaming kids and parents who weren't paying attention, so don't plan on unwinding poolside. The bigger issue is the nickel-and-diming. The hotel and its restaurants tack on optional fees that added up to over $100 on our bill. We had to go to the front desk to get them removed, so check your bill closely, and if you miss it at checkout, call the hotel afterward and ask for a refund. Room service also has a surprisingly cheap feel for a place charging luxury prices. No salt, no pepper, no extras, just exactly what you ordered and nothing more. The rooms themselves don't come stocked with basics like knives, forks, plates, or paper towels, so if you're using this as a home base for a longer stay, you'll be making repeated trips to the front desk. It's a beautiful setting and a nice hotel, but it feels like an attempt at luxury from people who haven't actually experienced it. If we go back to Glacier, we'd stay closer to the park instead.”
