Beautiful location!

We loved having so much space for my family of 5 adults, and a 10 and 13 yr old. We used one kitchen for food and the other for games and drinks. The back deck views were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the creeks on the trail and the hot tub.

Montana Vacation

We truly enjoyed our stay at Little Bear Lodge. We had 4 couples so having the 4 bedrooms and baths was perfect. We loved the back yard and fire pit. Enjoyed watching a Montana lightening and thunder storm from the back deck. Will definitely come back to Little Bear soon

This property is beautiful. We stayed for a week in July 2020 it was a perfectly relaxing and remote vacation during the height of this scary coronavirus pandemic. It's so easy to social distance in Montana! I highly recommend the lodge for your next family vacation.

Stay at Little Big Lodge

We really enjoyed the stay. We really enjoyed watching the wildlife and listening to the elk bugling in the evening. The lodge was big enough for our three couples to spread out but yet get together for meals and relaxing after our day's outings. Melissa was very responsive to our questions and a minor issue. We would definitely consider staying here again if in the area.
