Life in Montana is quite good. After all, it’s called the Last Best Place for a reason. That being said, everyone needs a change of scenery now and then, even when our everyday scenery is wonderful. And if you need a break from reality before our infamous winter weather really hits, look no further than the Ninepipes Lodge in the tiny community of Charlo.
The Ninepipes Lodge is a hotel, restaurant, and lounge all in one that sits surrounded by the Ninepipe Wildlife Management Area.
Management / TripAdvisor The property is close to Flathead Lake and is less than 90 miles away from Glacier National Park, but you won’t even need to leave the property to have a perfect vacation.
The lodge is located on Highway 93 at the Ninepipes Reservoir, so it’s easy to find.
Management / TripAdvisor It also happens to be located on the shores of a lovely little pond, making for some excellent waterfront views.
This part of Montana is breathtaking in any season, and there’s never a bad time to come.

The guest rooms here are cozy and spacious, raging from Mountain View King and Queen rooms to the lavish Honeymoon Suite.
Management / TripAdvisor This isn’t a five-star resort, but it certainly isn’t rustic, either.
While you’re here, make sure to visit the onsite Allentown Restaurant as much as possible.

The Ninepipes Lodge is a little hidden gem every Montanan should experience.
