About the Lodge
Then
Holland Lake Lodge was built in 1924 as a guest lodge. At the time it opened, it was a two-day stage coach ride from Missoula to the lodge. The main lodge burned in 1946 and was rebuilt with the current structure the following year. Power was brought into the valley in the late 50’s, and Highway 83 was paved in the early 60’s.
Now
This property reflects authentic Montana, with charming rustic lakeside cabins, a proud main lodge circa 1947, and to-die-for food served in the dining room. Described as a small slice of heaven, this intimate getaway will give you the full Montana experience: a respite from it all with plush accommodations, stunning mountain views, a jumping point for adventure and genuine attentive service
Our Guiding Principles
〰️
Our Guiding Principles 〰️
We believe…
in protecting what matters: wild spaces, quiet mornings, and the kind of hospitality that doesn’t shout.
there’s value in things that last — hand-built cabins, old trees, well-worn paths, and relationships that deepen with time.
a lodge should reflect its surroundings: honest, beautiful, and a little rugged.
that nature doesn’t need to be improved — just experienced. On foot. By paddle. With a good coat and an open heart.
in making space — for stillness, for connection, for laughter, and for the people who return here year after year, drawn to something they can’t quite name.
that simple comforts — a warm drink, a dry place, a view that stops you — are worth more than the trend of the day.
in community. Not just as a word, but as a way of doing business: hiring local, listening often, giving back.
that you don’t need luxury to feel rich — you need time, beauty, and the freedom to slow down.
in preserving this place — not just for guests, but for bears, birds, and bull trout too.
that what we’re building here is more than a business; it’s a lifestyle.
