Our location provides the feel of being near nature and the convenience of being close to all the recreational, shopping, dining and nightlife opportunities Whitefish has to offer. The Whitefish pedestrian and bicycle trail system is just outside our doors for guests wishing to walk or bike to local restaurants, bars, craft breweries, and distillery. Shuttle service delivers guests to downtown Whitefish to our sister property, The Firebrand Hotel, to Whitefish Lake Golf Club for a golf outing, and, during ski season, to the Whitefish Mountain Resort.
