Enjoy exploring the hiking and biking trails of Whitefish - from cross country to freeride to downhill to high alpine single track right from your the Lodge. Our property is staffed in the summer and is enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the Flathead Valley and will help you do what you came here to do - RIDE, HIKE, ADVENTURE!

It is a peaceful winter setting for family and friends to gather and enjoy - close to downhill skiing, cross country skiing, and with snowshoeing and fat biking right out the front door on groomed fat bike trails. We rent fat bikes on the property for you and your guests to enjoy. Bring your snowmobiles and enjoy close access to over 100 miles of groomed Montana snowmobile trails - or rent a snowmobile or get a guided snowmobile trip from a local company. We can help set up that for your group! End your day in a cozy Lodge with a wood-fired sauna!

Close to Glacier National Park.

The Retreat is home to a Bike Pump Track, a small Frisbee Disk Gold Course and Some Private Single Track Trail with several hand built features to hone you biking skills and have fun as well as a skills area for mountain biking.

Excellent stay with family
We had a great stay at WBR with family and dogs this Christmas. The lodge was great- and the fat biking and trails were amazing! Cricket was so responsive and knowledgeable in getting us set up with activities (biking, skiing, etc). We had a great stay!

Family vacation 2022
A great place to gather family together! Plenty of room for our family of 13. Teens especially enjoyed biking and paddle boarding experiences. Big plus for us, close to Glacier Park.

Wonderful house, incredibly nice people!
The lodge was absolutely perfect for 12 of us to stay. Plenty of space, beds and most importantly bathroom space! Location was perfect, in a quiet area, one mile from two amazing lakes (one of the lakes has a rope swing which our kids absolutely loved.) Quick drove into Whitefish and Glacier. Everyone at Bike Retreat were so nice and helpful! Highly recommend!

We loved the resort and our stay!!
We really enjoyed our stay and the staff!! It was a beautiful location and very cozy. The only issue we had was random people walking into the house assuming it was an open area for anyone./or the office. Although we had rented the entire retreat.

Great place to stay. Clean, warm, and friendly atmosphere
We had 12 adults and 4 children stay here and loved everything about the place. Bedrooms upstairs could use more pegs to hang clothes but the main floor was large enough for everyone to do their own activity without interfering with anyone else...very important with four preschoolers! Kitchen was well equipped and Cricket was very accommodating

Awesome!
This place is amazing and cricket is awesome! Do not have enough great things to see, she was very helpful and me and my friends had a great time, it’s almost hostel style with bedrooms all upstairs, common washrooms and main common area which worked great for us! Would definitely stay here again, also had no problems getting cabs to take us into whitefish even though it’s up a hill and it was really snowing

Great place to stay for easy access to the outdoors and adorable downtown Whitefish!
We stayed here for a family trip with 11 adults and 1 toddler. It was a great base camp for us all to have a great trip. Half the family would ride bikes and the others could go into town, we mixed it up every day! The bunk house was perfect for the many rooms we needed. The kitchen is fully loaded and perfect for cooking a large meal. We were very comfortable and able to rent baby items from Glacier Baby Outfitters making the trip completely family friendly. I would recommend it to anyone looking for the outdoor experience with the comfort of a cabin.
