Acerca de este alojamiento
Downing Mountain Lodge, bordeando el bosque nacional en 100 acres privados
¿Por qué alojarse en Downing Mountain Lodge? Es el lugar más privado de las montañas Bitterroot y el hogar de las mejores vistas del valle de Bitterroot, considerado durante mucho tiempo una joya olvidada de las montañas rocosas del norte debido a la falta de un parque nacional. A continuación, puede preguntar cuándo visitar? Un momento que a menudo se pasa por alto es mayo y junio, cuando los cielos se mezclan con las olas del sol y las nubes, el clima es agradable, las flores silvestres florecen alrededor del albergue y hay pocas posibilidades de humo de incendios forestales. Nuestras temporadas más populares son de junio a octubre para las vacaciones de verano y otoño, pesca y caza y excursiones, y de enero a abril para el esquí de travesía. Sin embargo, Downing Mountain Lodge no es para todos. Con un camino de montaña de 3 millas de tierra en buenas condiciones para acceder a la propiedad y ubicado en un entorno salvaje y boscoso, esta es una experiencia semi-salvaje. Dentro del albergue, aunque es cómodo y en un nivel con un altillo adicional, no hay baños conectados a las habitaciones y solo una ducha interior y dos baños. La cocina es una cocina comercial bien abastecida, pero bien utilizada y de ninguna manera elegante o boutique. Además, el alojamiento se calienta principalmente con leña y los huéspedes tendrán la oportunidad de dividir su propia madera y encender sus propios fuegos en la estufa de leña y la chimenea. Bienvenido a la auténtica Montana, donde el acceso sigue siendo un desafío y debe interactuar con su grupo de manera real. ¡Disfrutar! Brindando excursiones en casa y pudiendo conectarlo con muchos otros, ofrecemos un servicio de guía de esquí de fondo, viajes de pesca con mosca e instrucción, viajes de rafting tanto panorámicos como de aguas bravas, caminatas a lagos y picos de alta montaña, aventuras de escalada en roca, excursiones en bicicleta de montaña, caballo paseos a caballo, lanchas a motor y viajes en velero al lago Flathead, vida silvestre y safaris fotográficos, y cenas con servicio de comidas. Las visitas a Downing Mountain Lodge generalmente se organizan, incluidas las excursiones. Ven a compartir una aventura con nosotros en el oeste de Montana. En la montaña, cerca de la ciudad, cerca de los ríos, y dentro de una hora de una multitud de senderos, el Downing Mountain Lodge es un chalet de troncos confortable de tres dormitorios y dos baños construido en forma redonda con dieciséis lados. La acogedora casa cuenta con todas las comodidades y es, sin lugar a dudas, la ubicación más privada y sorprendente en 80 acres de tierra forestal abierta y campos de flores silvestres adyacentes al Bosque Nacional Bitterroot. Ubicado cerca del senderismo, la pesca, la navegación, el esquí, el ciclismo, la escalada y al final de un camino privado de montaña, el albergue es lo más privado posible sin dejar de estar cerca de la ciudad. Con vistas panorámicas desde todas las ventanas desde el sur, este hasta el norte, la casa de la montaña se encuentra a dos mil pies sobre el valle de Bitterroot con increíbles vistas a las montañas y al valle y durante mayo y junio, las tierras están cubiertas de flores silvestres. Estamos a solo quince minutos en coche del río Bitterroot y Hamilton, la ciudad más grande del valle de Bitterroot con muchas opciones de restaurantes, tiendas y entretenimiento. Una chimenea central masiva apoya las vigas de troncos y proporciona el ambiente auténtico de una sala de estar de montaña. El dormitorio principal está orientado al este y atrapa el amanecer. Con una cama queen y dos camas individuales en una litera completa, esta habitación puede acomodar hasta cinco. El segundo dormitorio contiene otra cama doble y puede acomodar hasta dos personas. El tercer dormitorio contiene una litera doble sobre doble, así como una litera doble sobre doble, además de una cama individual y puede acomodar hasta seis personas y es perfecto para los niños o nietos. También hay un sofá cama Queen en la sala de estar y una cuna para niños. El albergue es una historia única que permite el acceso de discapacitados y ancianos a todo el albergue y la cubierta de entrada. Los dos baños son comunes y se encuentran en la entrada del albergue. Hay una entrada de tocador a los baños con dos lavabos. Hay un baño con ducha y dos baños. La sala de estar tiene tres sofás junto a la chimenea, un piano, una guitarra, una gran mesa de comedor para hasta doce personas, y algunas mesas más pequeñas, una mesa de futbolín, una mesa de juegos de mesa y una estufa de leña. La cocina es una configuración comercial completa con una estufa de gas, cuatro quemadores y dos hornos, una plancha de cocción separada y una parrilla para asar con una gran campana de ventilación. Un fregadero comercial doble, un lavaplatos comercial y un congelador sobre el refrigerador completan lo esencial con mucho espacio y mesas para el trabajo de preparación y una mesa para seis. Con una gran cantidad de vajilla, cubiertos y electrodomésticos de cocina que incluyen una tostadora, microondas, ollas y batidora, nuestros invitados o servicio de catering están preparados para preparar las fiestas más audaces. Una puerta de acceso al exterior y la cubierta de la bañera de hidromasaje se encuentra en la pared oeste de la cocina, que se encuentra en el cuadrante suroeste del edificio. Afuera, a través del acceso a la cocina, hay una estufa de leña sauna. En el jardín delantero hay una bañera de hidromasaje para 5 personas. En la espaciosa cubierta este hay una gran barbacoa de carbón o leña con una mesa de picnic. En la entrada cubierta hay espacio para estacionar un automóvil, un columpio de dos plazas adyacente a un pequeño jardín. Arriba de la montaña detrás del albergue hay un camino de tierra que conduce hacia el noroeste y un arroyo de primavera, una cresta y el sendero hacia Downing Mountain y la alta montaña, a 2.000 pies de altura, y hacia el sur, después de una breve subida, una antigua carretera descendente de dos vías. a Owings Creek, donde brota de la Tierra.
El Downing Mountain Lodge está ubicado en 80 acres de tierra boscosa abierta y limita con miles de acres de tierra del Bosque Nacional al oeste. Con dos arroyos de primavera a poca distancia a pie y senderos privados y caminos de dos pistas que suben y bajan de la montaña, el paraíso privado es como a menudo se describe acertadamente. Hay alces, ciervos, alces, osos negros, leones de montaña, lobos, martas, cabras montesas y una gran variedad de aves con urogallos que a menudo se posan en los árboles que rodean el albergue.

Great get away and perfect Covid remote work place. Loved the view and everything about it!
From the view to chopping firewood for the fireplace, playing family music with the instruments and cooking in a restaurant kitchen, it was a great experience we will always remember fondly.

The lodge is rustic and quirky and we loved it! The view of Hamilton and the mountains is amazing. It was a great basecamp for our Montana adventures hiking, biking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, and horseback riding. I did miss having a washer and dryer and the ride up to the cabin is an adventure of its own, but those were minor inconveniences. Thanks to John for sharing your awesome lodge!

Ultimate Socially Distant Vacation
Amazing sunrise views, and even better stargazing from the hot tub. Plenty of space to stretch out for our group and grandma even got her own bedroom. Each of us had adventures we loved - hiking to the top of the mountain, yoga on the deck, taking a sauna and an outdoor shower, cooking a gourmet meal for our group to enjoy in the dining room! It is a bit rustic as others have said but it’s a special place and we’re planning our next trip around a stay at the Downing Mountain Lodge.

We loved this place! This was our first VRBO booking and it did not disappoint! The property was comfortably rustic as we expected. The owner communicated with us well. We loved spending our family Christmas there! We enjoyed time in the sauna and hot tub. We got some sledding done. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and slept comfortably in the rooms. We would surely recommend it to others!

Shoulder season stay at Downing Mountain Lodge - Board Meeting
My organization conducted its annual board meeting at Downing Mountain Lodge and could not have been happier with our stay. It was the perfect venue for what we need; large space to spread out, industrial kitchen, sleeping area for 10+ (could fit more like 20+) and located above the beautiful Bitterroot Valley. I only wish that our board meeting took place during the ski season, but that would have caused little work to be accomplished.
Over all I give the property and owners a review of 5 stars. I would be a great location for anything between a family reunion getaway (3 season) and backcountry skiing basecamp.
Keep up the great work and look forward to exploring more at Downing Mountain Lodge!

As great as it looks
I take all reviews and photos with grain of salt, but believe me, this is as good as it looks! Highly recommend a summer or fall stay. We only had 3 people and 2 dogs, tho the lodge can host much larger parties, but it was Heaven on Earth with 180+ degree views out the windows if it's chilly; or barbecuing on the deck at 5500 ft.; gazing down on the valley and across to Sapphire Mts at sunrise/sunsets. Perfect place for a writers' retreat (there's a great library!), or cooking class with the commercial kitchen; music gathering with a piano and incredible sound system; or base camp for easy-to-hard hikes in the Bitterroots. John works really hard to make this place available--DO take advantage!

Girls Trip 2019
A group of friends and I rented this lodge for a 3 day stay. Overall it was a good experience, but it is definitely a bit dated and much more rustic than advertised. One of the hot tubs was out of order, and we experienced a few malfunctions in the kitchen area. Be prepared to chop and haul wood for your heat. However, the setting & view from the lodge is spectacular!!! It is remote but quite beautiful. Fortunately, our group was comfortable with the rustic feel. We had a group of 9 and had plenty of room/space. I believe the place is in need of a few repairs, but as I previously mentioned....our overall experience was good.

Thanks for leaving your review. I am glad that you had an overall good experience on your women's retreat at the lodge. You mention that it is more rustic than advertised and I just wanted to note that in the second paragraph of the property description I have this written: "Downing Mountain lodge is not for everyone though. With a 3 mile, dirt, mountain road in good condition required to access the property and set in a wild environment, this is a semi wilderness experience. Inside the lodge, while comfortable and on one level with an additional sleeping loft, there are no bathrooms connected to bedrooms and only one indoor shower and two toilets. The kitchen is a well supplied commercial kitchen, but well used and by no means fancy or boutique. Furthermore the lodge is heated primarily by wood and guests will have the opportunity to split their own wood and start their own fires in the woodstove and fireplace" Please let me know if there are other ways in which I can help future guests with understanding the lodge and managing guests expectations. Have a great summer and come back soon.

Great stay at the top of Montanta
Really loved the stay on Downing Mountain. The yurt has great gathering areas both in the large 'great room' or the huge deck, both of which provide excellent view of Hamilton and the valley below. It is a great launch point to enjoy hiking (either straight up the mountain or other trail heads nearby), fishing or just relaxing on the river.

Fly fishing trip
Loved the location and the house. My only request because we were there when it was really hot is to get a window or wall A/C put in. The temps were really hot when we were at the property. Towels were hard and scratchy so they could maybe just upgrade to new towels. Overall I would highly recommend and loved the property. Would be interested to stay in the winter as I think it would be epic for backcountry skiing!

Amazing property that is very unique. Not the Rotz but has a better view and much more authentic!
Downing Mountain lodge is truly a special property with a history, view, access and a setting that is in a class of its own.
Feel like you’re in a James Bond film at night looking down on the lights of the valley through the large panoramic windows of the 16 sided log structure.
Cooking is a breeze with the commercial stove and griddle. Pancakes, potatoes and bacon all going at once!
As said it is not the Ritz. The lodge isn’t new, it gets used by enthusiasts who use it hard, and requires a little more effort than staying at a corporate chain hotel. However, it is authentic and a place we’ll remember. I would gladly return.

Spectacular view
Lodge on the hill’s views are amazing. Lodge itself is funky and fun remnant of the 70’s. Much bigger than the pictures. Perfect place to chill out as we weathered a number of storms while hanging out by the giant fireplace. Owner is responsive and immediately sent help when storm blew a tree over the access road. Plan on an extra 15-20 minutes to get anywhere else. Ex-restaurant kitchen is very “ex” and could use a good fixing up or at least a commercial quality cleaning.

The unique location is what makes this place so special.
At roughly 5,500 feet, the views are spectacular. It is a relaxing and larger group friendly location. The layout is utilitarian and not luxury minded. It is approximately 25 minutes from the lodge to the main highway in Hamilton. Forgetting something at the market is not conveniently remedied. Once you are there you will not want to leave, primarily because it feels so nice to be there. You are looking down mostly at the airplanes and eagles. Great kitchen facilities, but a single shower means an organized group effort. Never ran out of hot water. There is a lot of cellular phone tower equipment mounted to the lodge and in a tower behind it. While this did not impact our stay it might bother some who are more sensitive to the aesthetics of it. The lodge is a great value and this might be possible because of the offset in costs due to the equipment leases. Wildlife is everywhere with chipmunks and rabbits joining the evening cocktails on the porch. The pictures I took from the deck are some of the most beautiful I have ever taken. Very unique spot.

Loved Downing Mountain Lodge. The place is big an roomy, with great views in every direction. The kitchen was once a restaurant, so lots of great cooking appliances to create your favorite feast. Travel up to the lodge is the adventure with gravel switch back roads that are well worth the trip. If you want to get away from it all and yet be close to town, this is your place.

Incredible place
My father-in-law and I got soaked as a storm rolled through the bitterroot while we were passing through on a motorcycle excursion.. John was incredibly nice and let us stay the night when we called last minute. We had never been here, and when we pulled up we were in awe. The lodge is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. The hot tub was clean and exactly what we needed being soaked and chilled to the core. It has everything one could want, and I realized that in the winter it has great access to backcountry skiing. This lodge will see us again. Thank you so much!

Great venue for a gathering
We searched long and hard for the right place to have our wedding. Many of the options were very nice but quite pricey and would not provide the view of this valley we call home. Once we realized that Downing Mountain Lodge was an option our decision was all but made. John let us visit the lodge and take measurements to see how many people we thought we could fit in the lodge as well as on the grounds. Our wedding was small (65 guests) and the weather was great. Everyone fit and we probably could have squeezed a few more in. Everything turned perfectly. I believe every guest went home with at least one photo on their phone showing the amazing view the lodge has from it's perch on the hill. We could have all squeezed inside if absolutely necessary but the ceremony on the deck, food in the lodge, and games outside felt ideal. I would highly recommend this lodge for any events you may have planned where you want to show your guests why this valley is so great. A little decorating was all it took for a beautiful wedding. The owners are great and very easy to work with. Since I don't plan to get married again, I need to find a new excuse to rent it again next summer or even in the winter!

This was our second time staying at downing mtn lodge and it's always so relaxing. The place is cozy and beautiful. It's a gorgeous get away from missoula with hot tubs, sauna, and endless hikes in the area.

LOVE this place!
Our group of 9 (5 teenagers) stayed at the Downing Mountain Lodge and absolutely loved it. The views are spectacular and at night the sleepy town of Hamilton twinkles beneath you. From the seventeen switch-backs that lead you up to the secluded lodge, to the wrought-iron anchor that holds the door, to the fireplace, piano, drums, comfy sofas, this place is loaded with rustic charm. We enjoyed the commercial kitchen, stocked with the essentials and every kind of pot, dish or utensil imaginable. My favorite was the large griddle which made it easy to feed our group quickly and the dishwasher did a load in 90 seconds! There were deer and rabbits and a fox who visited at dusk. Get away from the crowds that flock to Glacier. There are beautiful drives, horseback riding, and the serene Bitterroot River. John, the owner, was a pleasure and made us feel so welcome. We love this place!

Acerca de su propietario/a
Propietario/a: JLehrman
I purchased the property in July 2012 after managing the lodge as a destination backcountry ski lodge since 2008 and caretaking the facility since 1998. It had always been my dream to purchase the lodge and operate it as a year round, adventure lodging and events destination. In 2012 everything came together to purchase and move forward with this dream. I studied at the University of Montana in the Forestry School for Wildlife Biology and decided to stay in Montana for the wealth of outdoor and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
I chose to buy this property because it is the one-of-a-kind, unique mountain retreat in the Bitterroot Range. Located at 5,550 feet elevation it is the highest elevation home in the Bitterroot Mountains. Its proximity to great backcountry ski terrain, hiking, and to the town of Hamilton, where I live, make it the perfect year round private recreation/relaxation destination. Nowhere else nearby is there a private access road to high elevation that is adjacent to high quality, pristine, ski and hiking terrain on the Forest Service.

I fell in love with the property over the years caretaking for the owner during the winter and then opening and operating the Downing Mountain Lodge during the winter. After four successful years managing the winter lodge and meeting all the great people who come from all over the country for backcountry skiing, I knew this was a genuinely great lodge business that satisfied many different people and families and brought out the best in people in a most authentic of backcountry experiences. With the lodge accessible to wheeled vehicles during the summer, and desirable to more than backcountry skiers, I knew taking the leap into ownership and year round adventure lodging and consulting would be a great way to pursue my career goals and offer guests the year round benefits of this unique log lodge in its unique location.
