The Surroundings

Located on two acres of the gorgeous hillside, you'll have plenty of space for sprawling out and enjoying the fresh mountain air in privacy. Get ready to take in clear night skies full of brilliant constellations from the back-patio hot tub — whether it's a cold winter night or a fresh summer evening.

The Amenities

The Elk Mountain Lodge is fully equipped to be your home-away-from-home. The kitchen is furnished with stainless steel appliances, tile countertops, and of course, all you need for coffee each morning! Enjoy your meals together around the dining room table, or take it to the back patio for an epic barbecue.

After hiking through Yellowstone or skiing down a mountain, decamp to the family room for a movie night. This comfy space includes a flatscreen TV with streaming access and live TV via Youtube TV and WiFi. (A note about WiFi: because our area has only satellite internet, you'll need to be aware of multiple devices. After all, we are in rural Montana!). Or pour some hot cocoa and gather around the Great Room's gas fireplace, looking out the windows at the expansive landscape. It's especially idyllic when snow is falling softly! Montana is where rolling plains meet the Rocky Mountains, and we tried to capture that in our decor, using classic rustic details and Western flourishes to complement the panoramic views from each window.

Bedrooms include a master with a king bed and two queen bedrooms (for a total of three). Sleep two more on the queen sleeper sofa in the den, which has its own door for extra privacy. With two full bathrooms and one half-bath, there is plenty of space for everyone to keep up with daily routines before hitting the slopes or taking a trip into Red Lodge.

Heading Into Town

While The Elk Mountain Lodge feels just the right amount of secluded, you're still only three miles away from town. Red Lodge Mountain is only 4.6 miles out and is home to many outdoor adventures like fishing, whitewater rafting, and horseback riding. While you're here, be sure to check out some fantastic hiking trails, including Silver Run, Lake Fork, Glacier Lake Trailhead, Beartooth All American Road, and more.

If you're visiting during the summer, the golfing is fantastic, with Red Lodge Mountain Golf Course just a short drive away. Red Lodge also has plenty of options for dining, bar-hopping, and quaint coffee shops—it really is the quintessential mountain town. And The Elk Mountain Lodge is the ideal home base for exploring the vast beauty of this special place! We hope to see you soon.
