Hidden Moose Lodge

The lodge is cute. The management is rude and arrogant! Kent treats his guests as if they are privileged to book a room. We booked last minute due to a family funeral. Due to unexpected nature of trip and last minute expense, we asked for rate reduction by skipping cost of breakfast. Next day when we were in air traveling, we received notice second night double booked, no room for us. Arrived late and had to leave early next morning for funeral so no time to speak with staff. Called Kent late afternoon to help us find alternative room since they screwed up our reservation. Kent’s reply was «your husband is cheap and whittled me down and you’re not willing to pay for a nice room». Nobody should EVER treat a paying guest this way, especially when their error caused us not to have a place to stay.

This is a hidden moose treasure. The hosts are sooo welcoming. The Montana style architecture is grand and very nicely decorated. The breakfast is amazing!!! The evening wine is very enjoyable as you sit out back, looking at the forest, with a trickle of the waterfall and the hot tub up the hill. Rooms are cozy and quiet. Have been coming here for years and will continue to make this the only place we stay in the Flathead valley

Great place!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 evenings…2 of those nights were spent in a deluxe jacuzzi room, 3 nights were in a basic lodge room. Let me just say that if we had stayed in the deluxe room for all 5 nights, this place would deserve 5 stars. We were definitely highly disappointed by the lodge room. It’s definitely worth spending an extra $ 20 a night for a deluxe room (or nicer). I’ll go into details below.
The breakfasts were always delicious and substantial, consisting of dishes such as lemon ricotta pancakes, pepper frittata, or cream cheese filled french toast. Fresh fruit was always a colorfully healthier side. The shared lodge patio overlooked bits of Montana’s dense forest. The overall décor is rustic chic and absolutely gorgeous!
The deluxe jacuzzi room was pristine and very quaint. Again… the décor! So beautiful! The temperature was well-​maintained, and our room included a private second floor deck outside. This room was truly perfect for the first two nights of our honeymoon. Between this room, the common area and the breakfast menu, this place would deserve 5 stars.
Upon our return from backpacking, we stayed 3 more nights in a slightly less expensive lodge room… and were highly disappointed. We were under the impression that the room would simply be without fancier amenities, such as a private deck or jacuzzi. Instead, the room was uncomfortable and lacking any sort of welcome. While the price was lower, I did not feel like we got what we paid for. Our room was located on the ground level next to the parking lot. There was a glass door that led directly into the parking lot, so it left me feeling vulnerable and without much privacy. Windows and drywall areas were left visibly unfinished, and décor was haphazardly thrown together. Wires were sticking out from the ceiling, and nails were sticking out from baseboards. Most importantly, the temperature was not well-​maintained. It was rather cold during nights in this room, and because the whole lodge was running on one heating system, all they could do was offer us extra blankets.
Overall, had we based our stay on the lodge room, this place would deserve 3 stars overall. Average out our time between the two rooms, it gets 4 stars.

The Hidden Moose is the best place to stay in Whitefish. The owners are incredibly hospitable, their food is fantastic, and the rooms are great. It’s not exactly the Westin, but hey, it’s Montana!

Beautiful lodge on a beautiful piece of property. It’s only 2 miles from downtown but feels like it’s in a private wooded area. It has a rustic and laid back Montana vibe. The homemade breakfasts were good, but not what I would expect from a b&b. Our room (the Bear’s Den) was comfortable and the jacuzzi tub was even better.

4 of us stayed at the Hidden Moose Lodge for a short ski trip. We arrived to Whitefish by train at 0730 in the morning and Kent the owner picked us up. He graciously allowed us to store our baggage and equipment in one of the rooms until check in time. The lodge is very cozy, relaxing and the staff were all wonderful. I loved the ambiance of the lodge and the breakfasts were very yummy! I thought the huckleberry pancakes were amazing! The lounging area was great, with a huge roaring fire and comfy couches and lots of interesting books and magazines to peruse through. Complimentary beer or wine in the evening was a nice welcome after a day of skiing. My room was very cozy and I loved the bed and the sheets!
On our scheduled departure day, our train was delayed 22 hours due to a derailment west of whitefish. Kent and Kim graciously offered to let us store our stuff after checkout and hang out by the fire until we left to go to the train station at 3:00 in the morning! We will be forever grateful for that! Even though our ski trip was hampered by nasty weather and train delays, the Hidden Moose Lodge and the town of Whitefish made up for it!

Staying at the Hidden Moose Lodge this week, and it is great. The staff is very friendly especially Carmen, recommending things to do, and restaurants to try, etc. (Carmen even played guitar and sang for us, let me tell you, this girl can sing!)
Great breakfasts and fantastic evenings by the fire with a glass of wine. I will definitely stay here again.

The location is right on the highway — so, after reading other reviews we asked for the quietest room and received it. After looking around town at the other options, this was the best for the price.
Breakfast was touted by many, however our tastes prefer a wider menu as we had the same 3 «entrees» rotated for the 6 days we were there. Too much cheese, too much bacon and very salty pancakes.
The room was o.k. and needs better cleaning (dust, stains on bedding, grout missing) — the rugs throughout the room and Inn are incredibly dirty and need a professional cleaning.
Skip Haskill Station — the restaurant next door — unless you only want beer & wine (no liquor license) the food is awful. Instead, go down a couple blocks to McGarry’s Roadhouse for a true dining experience.

Great place to stay. Breakfast is awesome and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the park. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
