Downing Mountain Lodge and Guides

The lodge is awesome. Very unique, somewhat rustic, and exactly what my family and a few friends needed for a summer getaway. The views are amazing. The kids loved using the triple sink and playing foosball. The adults loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the views. There are plenty of nearby things to explore for the young and old alike. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Excellent location to be among friends and wildlife. Far enough away from everyone else to have privacy, but close enough for a quick trip into town for any last minute supplies. Plenty of places to sleep for small or large parties. The kitchen was readily available and easy to get familiar with. I look forward to future family get-togethers at this establishment. Thanks again.

This is an amazing place to stay in a beautiful corner of the world! The lodge has a huge fireplace and an incredible kitchen, the skiing offers something for everyone, and the hot tub and sauna are waiting for you at the end. You could easily take novices right out the back door, and experts with snow safety skills won't have enough time to get it all. The owner John couldn't be a nicer guy, and his place will leave you wanting more!

We stayed at Downing Mountain Lodge in January of 2020. Our group included four kids under the age of 4. The Lodge was perfect. Spacious and inviting with all the amenities. The views are spectacular. John was very helpful with information on road conditions and the best zones to ski given the sketchy snowpack at the time. The skiing was fantastic. There is lots of terrain for every type of skier and condition (even the kids!). We had such a great time, we immediately booked for 2021.

Absolutely the best true Montana experience coming from a local! So beautiful inside and out with plenty of activities! Unforgettable and highly recommended for any occasions!
