Walking Bear Lodge – Winter Luxury in Whitefish

Perfect for Smaller Groups | Space to Spread Out | Sleeps up to 18

Experience Montana winter in comfort, warmth, and space — without ski-in/ski-out prices. Walking Bear Lodge is ideal for couples, families, or groups of 8–12 who want room to relax, multiple fireplaces, and a true Montana log-home experience just 12 miles (≈20 minutes) from Whitefish Mountain Resort.

While the lodge can sleep up to 18, most winter guests love having 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 11 Separate beds and multiple living areas all to themselves — creating a relaxed, uncrowded stay that feels both cozy and luxurious.

Spend your days skiing or riding at Whitefish Mountain Resort, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing nearby, exploring Glacier National Park, or taking the kids sledding just minutes away at Lawrence Park (sleds provided!). After your adventures, return to soak in the private Hot Tub under the stars, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, or cozy up by one of four fireplaces throughout the lodge.

Winter fun is everywhere — downhill skiing, Nordic trails, fat biking, ice fishing on Whitefish Lake, downtown dining, live music, theater, and the beloved Whitefish Winter Carnival in February. For quieter days, explore the nearby Whitefish Trails or Happy Valley Trails, popular with locals and perfect for peaceful winter walks, snowshoeing, or gentle XC skiing when conditions allow.

Walking Bear Lodge also offers easy access to local wedding venues such as Triple B Ranch, Haymoon Resort, and Whitefish Peaks, making it an excellent choice for families and groups attending winter weddings, ski trips, or special events who want comfort, privacy, and authentic Montana charm.

Inside, you’ll find warm log interiors, a fully stocked kitchen, multiple gathering spaces, and 11 separate beds across five bedrooms — making it easy for families and friends to spread out with no uncomfortable sofa sleepers or compromises.

Whether you’re planning a ski getaway, a winter family escape, or a relaxing Montana retreat with space to breathe, Walking Bear Lodge delivers the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy.

Book early for the best winter dates — your Montana getaway starts here.
