Mike Shubic June 30th, 2011 5 Comments

The State of Montana is a capacious place where the wild still roam, the rivers flow unabated, and the hills roll into the horizon. Montana is one of the last places where you can experience nature as it was intended. I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Grey...

A Review of The Lodge at Whitefish Lake

Mike Shubic August 1st, 2010 Comments Off

When I first arrived in Whitefish, Montana, I was pleasantly surprised. Unlike many smaller towns its size, Whitefish actually has some great amenities and accommodations—including the place I stayed, The Lodge at Whitefish Lake. Located just east of downtown, The Lodge was much grander than I expected…it’s actually a full-blown...

Glacier Mountain Lodge is probably one of the finest places I’ve ever had the privilege of staying. No expense was spared when building this beautiful structure, which also includes two separate cabin retreats on the eight acres the property encompasses.

The RiverRock Lodge is located right in the heart of Big Sky, MT and is not quite as much a lodge as it is a small hotel. With that said, the RiverRock tries to give its place a "Lodge" feel with a number of locally taxidermist animals, lots of rugged...

The Gallagher’s Irish Rose Bed and Breakfast is run by husband and wife, Gordon and Leah Gallagher. The Irish Rose is located in darling Red Lodge, Montana—in the heart of town and at the entrance to one of the most scenic byways in the country…the Beartooth Highway. It’s also conveniently...

As I write this, I feel like I’m in the world’s coolest tree house! I’m enjoying a stay at the Silver Forest Inn Bed and Breakfast just outside Bozeman, MT. The Silver Forest B&B is run by a lovely family, Mark, Susannah and their three kids. My room is the...
