For the 2024 season, owners, Frank and Sue, have updated Red Meadow Lodge with many improvements that guests will love! Bring the friends and family! Load up your raft and fishing poles! Red Meadow Lodge offers space for larger family groups to enjoy a wilderness experience on the edge of Glacier Park. For groups with RVs, please send a message to Karina, our property manager, detailing your group situation for a custom price quote. Located 5 miles north of the small community of Polebridge, the Lodge offers a unique glimpse of a life most of us have forgotten. It sleeps 6 adults comfortably in beds and there is a hid-a-bed sofa in the master suite. The over-sized sleeping porch provides the opportunity to bring your sleeping bag and sleep under the stars. Rustic and spacious, the lodge was hand built over 40 years ago with local materials much of which came from the property. The Sue family felled trees and hand-milled them into lumber, they collected stone and developed the spring which provides gravity fed water to the property. The Lodge features include solar power with generator back up. Propane powers some your lighting, hot water, refrigeration and cooking needs. Battery powered lights, flashlights and battery powered fans are also available. Located on 15 acres bordering the North Fork River, Red Meadow Lodge sits close to the edge of the river's high bank, affording spectacular views of the NW corner of Glacier National Park and the Canadian Rockies. Bear, moose, wolf and deer frequent the area. Watch bald eagles fish the river and delicate hummingbirds flit around the Lodge enjoying all the flowers. Take a book and enjoy the hammock and the kids will love the swing. You may even hear one of our local wolf packs in the late evening as you snuggle in a sleeping bag out on the porch. The property offers private road access to the North Fork River allowing you to float and fish right out the door. Put in at one of the launch locations to the north and pull out at the Lodge or put in just below the Lodge and float to Polebridge for dinner at the Saloon or a fresh-baked huckleberry bear claw at the Mercantile. Enjoy dinner by candlelight at the antique dining table or take in the views from the picnic table and fire ring just steps from the Lodge. The large fire ring, is well stocked with chairs, firewood and hot dog roasting sticks. It easily accommodates a crowd for a fish fry or BBQ at the end of a day on the river. Or just relax and let the kids roast marshmallows while twilight paints the mountains shades of blue and purple. For cooks, in addition to the fire ring, propane and charcoal grills are provided and the kitchen features a wood cook stove and a four burner propane stove with oven there is a wrap around bar which invites you to pull up a stool and visit while dinner is cooking. There are two propane refrigerators/freezers to store your groceries and drinks and the cabinets are well stocked with dishes. The living area is cozy and its shelves lined with fascinating books and games from the owner's personal collection. If you're a book lover, accept the invitation to quiet afternoon with old-fashioned entertainment stacked at your elbow or play a game of charades! We've especially stocked the bunk room with a toy chest, games and books just for the kids. The large master suite features a king bed and a hide-a-bed couch with views of Glacier Park. It has it's own wood stove for cool mornings or evenings and an air conditioning unit for warm summer nights. There is a 1/2 bath.
