Welcome to Stillwater River Reserve!
Your Whitefish story starts the moment you pull up to this timber and stone lodge, tucked into the pines on 30 acres near the Stillwater River. It feels a world away, yet downtown Whitefish is about 15 minutes down the road and the lifts at Whitefish Mountain Resort are about 25. Step inside and the grand room stops you in your tracks, with soaring ceilings, an antler chandelier and a two-story wall of windows framing the forest outside.
Spend the day chasing powder or hiking the Whitefish Trail, then come home to a place built for gathering. The Stag Room, the primary suite on the main level, has a king bed, its own gas fireplace, patio access and two private bathrooms, one with a jetted soaking tub. Also on the main level, the Hunting Dog Room has a king bed and a bath with a steam shower. Upstairs, the Pine Room has a king bed and a private balcony, and the Fish Room has two twin beds with a balcony of its own, each with an ensuite bath. Downstairs, a bunk room with two sets of twin bunks sits next to a media room with a big leather sectional, so the younger crew has a hangout of their own. Whether it's two families, a ski crew or old friends on a long overdue reunion, everyone gets room to unwind.
When it's time to eat, the kitchen is ready for a crowd with a gas range, double wall ovens and an island for three. Grab a book and claim the reading nook by the gas fireplace, or head out to the main patio, where an outdoor fireplace and a big dining table set up long evenings outside. When there's no fire ban, the lower patio fire pit is the spot for stars and stories. Walk the trails across the property and keep an eye out for the birds and wildlife that call this land home. At Stillwater River Reserve, the wild still is. All that's missing is you.
Winter
Hit the slopes at Whitefish Mountain Resort, offering over 3,000 skiable acres, 14 lifts, and terrain for all experience levels -- all paired with breathtaking mountain and lake views. Ranked #3 Resort in the West by Ski Magazine readers, Whitefish delivers world-class skiing without crowds. Beyond the slopes, explore snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, or a peaceful winter hike. When you're ready to warm up, stroll through downtown Whitefish, filled with cozy cafes, galleries, and local shops. Don't miss the iconic Whitefish Winter Carnival, featuring parades, skijoring, and small-town charm at its best.
Summer
When the snow melts, Whitefish becomes an outdoor playground. Spend sunny days on Whitefish Lake or explore over 100 lakes and rivers within 100 miles, including legendary Flathead Lake -- the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. At Whitefish Mountain Resort, summer brings mountain biking, hiking, zip-lining, ropes courses, alpine slides, and scenic gondola rides with panoramic Glacier National Park views. Glacier is just a 45-minute drive away, perfect for a day trip to the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, or one of its 70+ hiking trails. For local flavor, explore the Whitefish Trail System (43 miles of hiking and biking), enjoy local breweries, distilleries, golf courses, and art galleries, and catch seasonal events like Huckleberry Days, farmers markets, rodeos, and the Under the Big Sky Music Festival.
Getting Around
Getting around Whitefish and Whitefish Mountain Resort is easy with the FREE Snow Bus, which runs during peak winter and summer seasons. Uber, Lyft, and taxis are also available.
This property is located outside of downtown Whitefish. You will need to drive to the nearest Snow Bus stop for pick-up.
