FAMILY VACATION

A Week at the Ranch

During your Montana vacation at Flathead Lake Lodge, you can do as little – or as much – as you’d like. Below you’ll find a sample schedule for our weeklong stays. And while daily activities are subject to change (due to weather and other circumstance), we are sure you’ll find plenty of things to do, from lakefront activities to horseback trail rides. Mealtimes are consistent throughout the week – except for the Wednesday night steak fry – and all meals are served in the Main Lodge or on our outdoor patio overlooking Flathead Lake. Breakfast and lunch are served together, while dinner is served in two age groups, starting with the children’s buffet at 6 p.m. and plated dinner for adults at 6:30 p.m. All meals, snack and beverages (including alcohol) are part of our all-inclusive rates.
