I stayed a couple of nights with my colleagues and thoroughly enjoyed the location of this resort - the view over the lake, the grounds, and the surrounding mountains are outstanding. The lodge is very comfortable, very Montanan, and not at all flashy. The rooms are small, dimly lit, with rustic style appointments. The bathrooms were decidedly small and not... more

Reading some of the more negative reviews, I have no idea where they could be coming from. My family and I have been staying at The Lodge every summer for eleven years. I am currently sixteen years old and my trips to Flathead Lake Lodge have been the basis for almost every school project, speech or essay I have ever... more

This is Heaven on earth! Immaculate grounds set on the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. The speciality here is the service. The staff takes pride in each and every guest experience. The owner and his family are always present to assist and answer questions about this historic lodge. Young or old it doesn't mater. There is something to... more

OK, let me admit the few negatives first: - yes, the prior reviewer is right, they do cater to returning guests a bit - the childrens program is a bit unstructured if your child is not independent (say 8 years old or else a very independent 6-7) - the rooms are only so-so - the bees overwhelm the outdoor eating... more

We love ranches and have travelled to many. Our basic problem here was....we were not returning visitors...there appears to be a pecking order...first time visitors get teeny little rooms, whereas as you work your way up, you get individual cabins. We couldn't even have our kids in the room with us...they had to have a separate little room. I wonder... more

Flathead Lake Lodge holds a very special place in my life. My family has been going there ever since i was a little kid, three to be exact. Last year was my 12th year to go. When you stay at the lodge, you make friends that you will keep for a lifetime. The overall quality of the stay is phenomenal.... more

We stayed at the condo section of this property on a business trip. We were "upgraded" from the brand new lodge to the 15 year old condos. The condo was clean, though numerous small items in it were broken or on the verge of breaking. The view from the 2 storey verandah overlooking the lake and the mountains was beautiful,... more

I believe the property being reviewed in this posting in The Lodge at Whitefish Lake. It is owned by another member of the Averill family but is in no way affiliated with Averill's Flathead Lake Lodge.

We just finished our 16th consecutive year of vacationing at Flathead Lake Lodge. For the first eight of those years we vacationed for just one week. During that time, we found that seven days was just not enough time to benefit from all that the Lodge has to offer. Since then, we added another week to our stay and now... more

Our family looked forward to this vacation for nearly a year. We were horribly disappointed to find our cabin dirty with soiled carpet, a thick layer of dust on the furniture, worn bedclothes and a leaky tub faucet that management was unable to repair. The horses were unhealthy. They had dull, ragged coats and were obviously stressed. Many of the... more

I am terribly disappointed in this review considering the individual only stayed at the Lodge for a couple of hours. They did not particpate in any of activities and did not eat any meals. At no time did the individual express any displeasure with our accommodations, staff or riding program. They expressed to me that they were looking for a...

We have been vacationing at Flathead Lake Lodge for 8 summers. This is the best family vacation spot we've found in a beautiful setting near Glacier National Park. The ranch offers daily activities for all ages such as horseback riding, swimming in the lake or heated pool, tennis, hiking, fly fishing, sailing or just relaxing on a bench overlooking the... more
