Top Flathead National Forest Hotel Reviews

Mountain Lake Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very comfortable. We engaged with the front desk, 3 times and each person was welcoming, friendly and helpful. (Even on a holiday weekend!) I was very impressed with the homemade soup (gluten free) at Ripley’s."

Laughing Horse Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The host at the Laughing Horse Lodge makes you feel like an old friend that came to visit. The breakfasts were wonderful as was the advice on our visit and places to see."

Wildflower Log Cabin with firepit & mountain views

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Wildflower cabin was just what we needed. The cabin is nestled around beautiful nature and while there are neighboring cabins near by, we still had peace and lots of privacy. Rickie was super responsive and provided a lot of great information. Check in and out was also a breeze.. Getting to see wild deer and turkeys pecking around was such a treat! Inside was cozy and the beds were comfy too. While there was no kitchen, there was a mini fridge, coffee machine and toaster oven. There were also plenty of kitchen tools like a cutting board, knives, utensils, paper plates, cups and all the tools necessary for utilizing the grill. The bathroom was stocked with several clean towels and also had a window to air out smells, which we found very helpful. Overall, our stay was very pleasant and we felt accommodated with everything we could need for our 5 night stay. We'd love to stay here again should we return to Montana!!"
