By season

When to visit Lodge 93

Summer & early fall

Paddle and fish the Stillwater River from the dock, swim at Whitefish Lake, drive the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, and ride the lifts at Whitefish Mountain Resort for mountain biking and hiking. Evenings belong to the fire pit and the geodome.

Winter

Ski and snowboard at Whitefish Mountain Resort among the frosted "snow ghosts," then come home to the private hot tub, barrel sauna and stone fireplace. The geodome is a cozy spot to watch snow fall over the pond.

Spring

Quieter trails, wildlife along the river (guests have watched beavers swim past the dock at dusk) and fewer crowds in downtown Whitefish.

Any time

Seven lakes within five miles of the cabin, forest service roads for morning hikes, and downtown Whitefish's restaurants and breweries about 20 minutes away.
