You can check winter rates and availability on this calendar. You will not be able to book rooms or creek rods online during the winter months, but you can book by calling us at 406-220-6560.  The lodge has limited services during the winter months and stays are subject to winter conditions.

Please disregard the booking engine's terminology for Fishing Rods. It calls them units and refers to a nights stay instead of a day on the creek. This is not a nightly rate but a daily rate.  The creek hours are from 8:00 a.m. until dusk.  Thank you!
