Consider vacationing in the Beartooth Mountains just north of Yellowstone Park. The village of Red Lodge is the gateway to the northeast entrance to Yellowstone. The rustic and fully equipped Spruce Lodge could be your first stop on your holiday.  Our lodge is centrally air conditioned and features every convenience of home. The home overlooks the entire village of Red Lodge from its enormous east facing deck. There are unobstructed western views of the nearby Red Lodge Ski Mountain. Beartooth Mountain views further command western vistas. Mt. Maurice and the valley to Yellowstone is visible to the south.  It would be difficult to match the majestic mountain setting of this log home. The Lodge is located on 15 acres and is the only home on the western verge of the village of Red Lodge.

The property: There are living rooms on two levels of this three-story lodge. The space is ideal for an extended family, or several families combined. This home is welcoming and can deliver an authentic Montana lodging experience. There are so many entertainment options in the area: river floats, trail rides, mountain biking, endless hiking trails or rent a 4 passenger ATV.  After a busy day the family can relax on the 600 sf deck  or play a round of shoes as there is a horseshoe pit  in the side yard. Wildlife is on the property year 'round. We commonly have a resident doe with new fawns munching on the lawn in the early summer.

The home is arranged as follows: The upper-level loft has two queen beds and twin day bed. This level has a full bath. The main level contains the fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and full appliance suite.   There is an open great room, dining area, master bedroom suite, laundry room, half bath and ski room/reading nook  on this level. The master bedroom has a king bed. Its bath has a walk-in shower. Additionally there is large closet and dressing room en suite. Wifi connectivity is strong throughout the house as is Verizon cell service. The lower level has a living room with a smart TV, foosball, enormous lounging sofas flanked by three bedrooms and a full bath with separate shower and bathtub. Two of the bedrooms have a bunk with a queen-sized bed and a twin. The third bedroom has four twins.  Access to the covered 6-person hot tub is available year-round.The lower patio and seasonal outdoor shower is from this lower level. To the many guests who have made this their summer headquarters for the past ten years we have good news.  We’ve removed the spiral stair and there are now two conventional staircases connecting the three levels.

Please respect that this is a 3500 square foot home and not an event space. Large gatherings are neither encouraged nor permitted. We provide parking for up to six cars.  Beyond that there is parking outside of the main gate.  If you wish to add a motorhome to your reservation there is a 30 AMP RV circuit available at a competitive extra surcharge.  If you have any questions concerning these options or guidelines, please contact us before booking.

Our location: The property overlooks the entire town and fronts the ~3 mile long Red Lodge hiking and biking trail which leads to the dog park and fairgrounds. We are dog friendly (2 Dogs). It is an easy 10-minute stroll on this same path to the airstrip and Rodeo of Champions fairgrounds to the west.

Spruce Lodge is located 7.4 miles from Red Lodge Mountain and just 0.2 miles from Highway 212 which is also known as the Beartooth National Scenic Hiway. This historic route features the stunning Beartooth Pass and is the gateway to the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
