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!

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!

I feel in love with this piece of property the first time I walked onto it. I have built a comfortable and family friendly property - Summer and Winter - for active vacationers. With immediate access for cyclists and hikers onto the Whitefish Trail and several small pristine lakes close by for a quick dip in the summer - AND THEN - in the winter, a wonderland right out the door and off the beaten path.

Also Located Close To Glacier National Park And Whitefish Mountain Resort. 45 Miles South Of The Canadian Border. Minutes From Downtown Whitefish And All The Uniques Shopping, Fine Dinning and Golfing!
