A True Wilderness Experience

Red Meadow Lodge offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature.

Experience the serenity and beauty of the wilderness at Red Meadow Lodge, where adventure and relaxation await.

Red Meadow Lodge comfortably accommodates up to six adults, and two children, offering a spacious and cozy retreat. The large master suite features a king-sized bed and a hide-a-bed couch, complete with stunning views of Glacier Park. For added comfort, the suite includes a wood stove for chilly mornings or evenings and an air conditioning unit for warm summer nights. The master suite also boasts a private half bath. The west bedroom opens onto a charming sun porch, perfect for those who wish to sleep under the stars or experience the Northern Lights. The bunkroom is designed with the kids in mind, with log bunkbeds along with children’s books and toys.

Solar power with generator backup ensures a reliable energy source, while propane refrigeration and cooking facilities cater to culinary needs. The lodge also features battery-powered lights and flashlights for added convenience. Brand new full-size refrigerator/freezer provides ample space to store groceries, and the kitchen is equipped with a wood cook stove and a four-burner propane stove with an oven.

Ideal place to get away- serene/quiet; pictures don't do it justice! Scenery is breathtaking, river runs directly behind cabin. Also, the place has all the extra details that make it even more special- beds and sheets, extremely comfortable, 3-4 different grills, fully stocked kitchen, pots, pans, spices, first aid kit, fancy shower- multi wash system, large covered balcony...

Amazing property! The views are incredible, pictures do not do it justice. We spent hours hanging at the river (family favorite). We also played horseshoes, cornhole, "hatchet" throwing, frisbee, monopoly, puzzles, etc... This off the grid cabin has everything you need (including internet for email and solar electricity). We'll be back!!

We absolutely loved it here!!! The Cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed, the views from the home were stunning ( we even took a little swim in the river),enjoyed a meal over the fire pit, and loved being disconnected for a few days.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Ulrichsen

Host profile image
Red Meadow Lodge, overlooking the North Fork River and Glacier Park, was built by the Sue family using lumber from the property and local stone. It was the family’s retreat for over 40 years until Frank and I fell in love with rustic charm and purchased the Lodge in 2019. We have spent the past seven years preserving, restoring and updating the Lodge to be a place enjoyed by our family and friends, and you, our guests.

What makes this property unique

Red Meadow Lodge is located on the banks of the North Fork of the Flathead River, bordering Glacier National Park. The North Fork River is a National Wild and Scenic River!
