Bigfork is a charming little town in any season, but in the summer, it’s downright magical. Located on the shores of Flathead Lake, visiting feels like going on vacation and attending a small party at the same time. Bigfork also happens to be where you’ll find Mountain Lake Lodge, which just might be the Flathead Valley’s best kept secret.

Mountain Lake Lodge is technically located five miles south of Bigfork, situated right above Flathead Lake.

Not only is the lodge itself fantastic, it’s close to many of Montana’s top spots, like Glacier National Park, which is 40 minutes away.

management / TripAdvisor The village of Bigfork also has plenty of restaurants, shops, and galleries waiting to be explored.

Mountain Lake Lodge has 30 guest rooms and suites, each with all the comforts of home.

management / TripAdvisor From the pillow-top mattresses to the flat-panel TVs, you certainly won’t feel like you’re roughing it here.

The spacious suites will comfortably accommodate four guests, and some have jacuzzi tubs…

…but you may want to spend most of your time on your balcony with a beverage in your hand.

management / TripAdvisor We aren’t kidding about the incredible lake views.

While you might be tempted to explore Bigfork’s eateries, it’s not necessary – the lodge has two on-site restaurants.

management / TripAdvisor Schafer’s is a fine dining dinner and Sunday brunch spot, while Riley’s Pub and Sports Bar is a laid back place to go for brick oven-fired pizza, tasty burgers, and house-smoked baby back ribs.

The property has plenty of amenities, but the one that stands out is the gorgeous infinity pool.

WildlifeWatcher64 / TripAdvisor The hot tub and fire pit are a close second.

Pictures really don’t do Mountain Lake Lodge (or Bigfork) justice. Book yourself a relaxing getaway here and see for yourself.
