Our stay was amazing!! There are not enough stars to rate this place! Our hostess was the sweetest, she made you feel welcome like family. The cabin's atmosphere is nostalgic, peaceful, and healing. There isn't one accommodation that hasn't been thought of, this is the perfect getaway for any family. We will be back!!! Thank you to our hostess your hospitality is remarkable and full of love.

Master's Graduation/ Mother's day celebration

Beautiful relaxing property in the trees with a babbling creek and still close to town when needed. We had 8 plus a baby and had plenty of space and rooms. We could all eat together at the table and hang out together inside and outside comfortably. Manager's are right next door and share common areas. They are very kind and helpful. There were games provided for indoor and outdoor fun. Firepit was tricky but managers are on site to help. Bbq worked great. Amenities showed hot tub but there was not one onsite. We had a peaceful get-away-from-it-all weekend celebrating son's graduation and 3 generations of moms with 4 generations in all for Mother's day. Lots of provisions provided. Would book again!

Family vacation in Missoula? This is the Place!

Our family of 12 had plenty of room and our every wish fulfilled at Butler Creek Lodge. Dorinda and Dennis are those rare hosts who really want you to be as comfortable as they are! From coffee and muffins for 1st mornings’ breakfast to DVD’s for the kids to beautifully landscaped grounds with comfy chairs to enjoy the sunsets, this is a lovely home in every way. This is a super well supplied kitchen! It is convenient to downtown Missoula yet private and quiet in typical Montana country.

Wonderful

Our stay at the lodge was wonderful for our family of seven. The lodge has a great rustic cabin feel to it, and is very well decorated and appointed. The extensive yard and natural views around the lodge are beautiful and soothing. The background gurgle of Butler Creek is a soothing plus. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They set out yard games for us and had bkfst items stocked. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and that we had what we needed. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Breathtaking views with a piece of serenity on the side:-)

Dennis and Dorinda were perfect hosts!!! They were helpful, informative and just a lot of fun to be around. The large was like your personal park.Every bedroom came with the bathroom which made it nice for everyone and there was lots of privacy within the lodge. The area was clean and well kept. There were lots to things to do just on the property plus a very short distance into Missoula. This stay far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this property for a comfortable and very serene stay. Absolutely loved it!!!!

Rejuvenate at this little slice of paradise

Our tennis team stayed here during a weekend tournament in Missoula. Dorinda and Dennis were the ultimate hosts! Every detail is taken care of in this welcoming, beautiful home. The grounds are perfectly kept and provide ample opportunity for relaxation or a lively game of bocce (or two!). The pictures do not do this home justice. The interior is just as lovely as the exterior grounds and has plenty of room for a big group to dine together as well as find a quiet corner to relax. Our team can't say enough about our stay here, from the welcome basket of goodies on arrival to the fully stocked kitchen for preparing meals to the ample sleeping quarters and bathrooms. Everything was perfect. The home is spotless and provides a truly rejuvenating experience. Close to town so we could come back and relax between our matches. It was really hard to leave! We will be back. Thank you for sharing your home. It is one of a kind!

Gorgeous, comfortable and well-equipped lodge. Perfect for our family vacation.

We loved our stay at Butler Creek! For 6 adults and 3 kids, we had more than enough space. The grounds are immaculate and the house itself is gorgeous and so nicely decorated. We loved that Dorinda and Dennis keep the house so well-stocked...we arrived to find a full array of breakfast items ready for us plus milk and condiments in the fridge, laundry detergent by the washer, first aid supplies in the closet and countless more thoughtful touches that made our visit so much more comfortable. They really go the extra mile (oh and did I mention that all the adults in our group agreed how amazing the sheets on the bed were? Lol. No cheap, scratchy linens here!). Dorinda and Dennis are so welcoming and lovely to talk to. They showed us the grounds and let us know about some activities our kids might enjoy but they also gave us the peaceful and private experience we were looking for. I really can’t say enough about them and their property — we truly had no complaints about our visit and we’re already talking about planning another visit for next summer. Thank you Dennis and Dorinda!

Butler Creek Lodge is a beautiful property and we enjoyed a wonderful week there with family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Butler Creek Lodge. We had four generations together, from 91 to 1 and everyone had a lovely time! The grounds are stunning and the lodge is beautiful and impeccably maintained. The kitchen is large and spacious and has everything you could possibly need for cooking large family meals or a gourmet feast, including an array of spices and condiments. The appliances are beautiful top of the line stainless steel. Our hosts left a delicious assortment of pastries and breakfast items as well as coffee and bottled water to welcome us. The common areas are large and spacious with ample room for people to gather together or in smaller groups. There are two bedrooms downstairs, one with an en suite and the other with a common bathroom right next door, both with walk-in showers. The third and fourth bedrooms are upstairs, again, one with an en suite and the fourth bathroom in the hall. Both of the upstairs bathrooms had bathtubs which is great for the kiddos. There is an upstairs loft as well with its own sleeping and living area, as well as a balcony. Everyone felt like they had their own little private part of the house. We had one family member using a walker and one kiddo with special needs and this property worked wonderfully for everyone! Dorinda and Dennis greeted us when we arrived and were warm and welcoming. They were always available during our stay but never intrusive- it was a pleasure to meet them. When they saw that we had small children they immediately brought out two booster seats for the dining room table and several yard toys. The yard and grounds are so lovely and we really enjoyed spending time outside. There is a basketball hoop (plus an adorable mini hoop for the kids), a fire pit area, picnic tables, and tons of great places to lounge and relax. The yard slopes down to a creek and a lower yard as well and there’s a great tree swing. The creek is so beautiful and sounds so relaxing! Lots of places to explore and either indulge in some peace and quiet or entertain a large group. We loved the grill and had some delicious burgers one night. Our entire family had an amazing week and created so many wonderful memories. I would highly recommend Butler Creek Lodge, it was a pleasure spending our week there. Many thanks to Dorinda and Dennis!
