Your Personal Riverfront Lodge, Perfect for Groups!
“The outdoor space and river is a 5 star Montana experience,” Jason, a Stay Montana guest says, “I would definitely stay in this cabin again. This was an amazing trip.”
As a family-owned & operated company, we know how important it is to spend quality time together. Clark Fork River Lodge is the perfect place to spend quality time together with your loved ones and escape from it all! Located on the banks of the beautiful Lower Clark Fork River, northeast of St. Regis, Montana, this rustic lodge features a brand new outdoor bar area overlooking the river, in addition to a large deck. Spend the day fishing or floating and the evenings grilling and stargazing by the campfire. There’s a gentle trail down to the river bank or just relax and soak in the river views and sounds from the spacious deck or bar. It’s the perfect authentic Montana retreat! We can’t stop drooling over this rustic riverfront property and there’s still summer availability so act fast!
With 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and room for 12 guests, the Clark Fork River Lodge is great for family escapes or getaways with friends. You can truly unplug here with no TVs, WiFi or even hair dryers. The lodge features custom-built log furniture giving it a rustic feel with the convenience of a modern kitchen and bathrooms. The focal point of the house is the brand new outside bar area & patio overlooking the river but you’ll also enjoy the open and airy main floor with living room, kitchen, dining area, 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. The lower level has walkout access to the river along with a 2nd living area with a Queen futon, 2 more bedrooms and 1 bath. On the 2nd level, you’ll find a loft and a bedroom. Take a Virtual Tour!
Another bonus is how easy the Clark Fork River Lodge is to get to. St Regis is located just off of I-90 about 1 hour west of Missoula, MT or 2 hours east of Spokane, WA. The property is about 11 miles off the Interstate, tucked in along the river.
The following video and the photos above are from a group that enjoyed the lodge last summer. Your group could be next!
