Private lodge. Park like grounds. 15 minutes to downtown.

Butler creek Lodge was a perfect location for my daughter’s wedding! Stunningly beautiful, private setting and the lodge is so comfy! Thank you for unforgettable memories!!!

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!!!!

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!

Delightful, roomy lodge, well supplied for very comfortable stay. The Delenas were wonderful and very friendly. (Dennis brought out sleds for our grandkids to enjoy the recent snowfall to sled on the hill right outside the lodge.). Would definitely love to stay there again. Convenient to Missoula, yet felt like we were nestled far out in the woods. Truly rates 5 stars!!!

Everything about our experience at the Butler Creek Lodge was magical. Dorinda and Dennis were amazing hosts and helped make our wedding stress-less and enjoyable. With the lodge location just outside of Missoula, it was easy to make last minute trips to the store but also provided the middle-of-nowhere, relaxing, forest experience. The weather was perfect even though it was still pretty hot in town. Every guest at our wedding commented on how perfect the venue is for a wedding. We had a perfect wedding and being at the Butler Creek Lodge was the icing on the cake.
