A True Montana Lodging Experience!

Enjoy log cabin comfort and rustic elegance in the privacy of your own mountain meadow (50 acres near Helena, Montana, surrounded by Nat'l Forest).

Thank you for your interest in Black Mountain Lodge! We appreciate the opportunity to share this historical property. We strive to provide a unique lodging experience while honoring the stewardship and preservation of the land and structures. We are certain the magic of this historic space will create long lasting memories.

This historic property was originally a lucrative mining claim during the Gold Rush. The tailings from multiple mining claims can be found in the nearby hills. You might get lucky yourself but don't be tricked by the glittering Fool's Gold that laces the stream! In the early 1900s it became Primrose Farm, a dairy providing fresh milk to nearby Helena. Our family acquired the property in 1941 and we are now heading into our fourth generation as stewards of this remarkable piece of Montana.

During the day take in the panoramic view from the large screened porch. Or hike miles of spectacular trails right from the front door. Wildlife abounds in our mountain meadow and you will spot animals large and small--moose, deer, elk, coyotes, even bear--from both the porch and trail.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The spacious Main Lodge with its sleeping porch and four private sleeping cabins accommodate up to 12 guests. A gurgling mountain stream winds its way between the Lodge and cabins lulling you to sleep at night. Please note we no longer offer options for events. Our 12 guest capacity is firm. If you are looking to expand accommodations for up to 3 people, a fully equipped Chalet can be added to your reservation. The Chalet is a short walking or driving distance from the Lodge and has its own parking and WIFI. This addition can be added for a minimum of one night or be available for your entire stay. Contact your host for more details and availability.

The Main Lodge sleeping porch has two twin beds. The four sleeping cabins include a king size bed, a four person bunk house, a lower cabin with a full size bed and futon and a creek side cabin with a full bed and twin bed. A full bathroom is located in the Main Lodge and a multi-user Bath House serves the sleeping cabins.

The Lodge kitchen is provisioned with staples such as basic spices, coffee, filters, tea and cleaning supplies. There is a gas stove, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee maker and outdoor gas grill for your use.

The Lodge does have WIFI. However, Cell phone reception is patchy in the mountain valley. There are a couple spots in the meadow where calls can be made although texts can be sent and received more consistently. Ask Ayrne and she can point out those hot spots!
