From official business to well-deserved rewards, it’s easy to get together at Grouse Mountain Lodge — a place where groups become one.
Welcome to Northwest Montana and all the warm hospitality that comes with it. Surrounded by dramatic glacier-cut peaks, alpine valleys and pristine lakes, Whitefish, Montana is your ruggedly refreshing getaway from the everyday. Forged in the pioneering spirit of yesteryear, this is your year-round destination for recreation, relaxation and the recharged productivity it creates.
Just steps away from Whitefish’s historic downtown, Grouse Mountain Lodge gives groups of all sizes the time and space to stretch out and relax. With 144 beautiful guest rooms, 11,000 sq. ft. of event space spread across 9 rooms, and
exceptional on-site food and beverage options, almost anything is possible for groups of up to 300 people.
A substantial list of services and amenities are conveniently close by, including: local shopping and sight-seeing, 36 holes of championship golf, 3000 acres of downhill skiing and snowboarding at Whitefish Mountain Resort, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, world-class fishing, and the stunning beauty of Glacier National Park — all of which is only a short walk, hike or drive away.
