With one hundred mile views and end of the road privacy, the rustic lodge built in the 1970's hosts all types of recreationists, solitude seekers, and nature lovers all year round. Located in a remote mountainous setting, the lodge is for hearty folk looking for a beautiful, adventurous, and rustic base camp including a hot tub and sauna. The Downing Mountain Lodge is a 2,500 square foot, log yurt built into the Bitterroot Mountains 7 road miles west of the town of Hamilton, Montana. With total privacy, the forested mountainside, hiking, wildflowers, huckleberry picking, backcountry skiing, amazing views, and comfortable amenities, the Downing Mountain Lodge is a one of a kind, unique mountainside retreat for all your adventure, events, and relaxation needs. With an outside barbecue deck overlooking the valley, the front lawn featuring a hot tub, a wood fired sauna in the stone hut outside the backdoor, a great room centered by a massive stone fireplace, dining tables and room for up to fifty guests for your catered event, and a foosball table, guitar and piano, bring the whole party and the dog! Located only twenty minutes from Hamilton, with complete privacy, and three miles from the nearest neighbor, you will feel relaxed and above it all during your visit. The lodge is open year round for guests with winter time backcountry skiing the main activity and summertime fishing, hiking, gatherings, and relaxing. With a mandatory drive on a three mile, dirt, forested mountain road, at times graced by carpets of wildflowers or punctuated by deer, elk, fox, grouse, moose, black bears, bobcats, and coyotes and wolves and mountain lions, the Lodge is NOT for everyone. For those seeking solitude with their group, an expansive retreat, and comfortably rustic amenities, you will love the lodge. The lodge is primarily heated by burning wood and guests will have the opportunity to split their own firewood and start and maintain the fires in the woodstove and fireplace. A well stocked utilitarian commercial kitchen is not boutique, communal bathrooms with two toilets and one inside shower, and an outside hot tub and sauna round out the lodge's amenities and welcome you to an authentic Montana nature retreat where you will be able to live again close to Earth and with your loved ones. The entire lodge and 100 acre property with thousands of Forest Service mountainside acres of forest, wildlife, wildflowers in May and June and huckleberries in July and August is available exclusively to our guests. Backcountry powder skiing from December through March and spring corn skiing in April and May. Accessible via a dirt, switchbacking, mountain road, the roadway has a couple of gates along its 3 mile approach and the lodge is locked with a combination lock. Guests are able to call on me for help with lodge facilities, recreation ideas, dining options, and guide services for backcountry skiing, fishing, horse riding, river trips, sailing trips, mountain biking, rock climbing and hiking. We are three miles beyond the last home on Grubstake Road, 7 miles by road from downtown Hamilton. The neighborhood includes grouse, deer, elk, bear, moose, wildflowers, huckleberries, hiking trails, a forest of green trees, two spring creeks, a burnt forest, and wind and sunshine. As a remote wilderness lodge, guests will want their own car to access the lodge and surrounding areas. The access driveway is dirt, 3 miles long, and in fairly good condition. https://youtu.be/vs7GCXQq6ek ## Commodités de l’hébergement ### Piscine/spa - Baignoire à remous - Sauna ### Internet - Disponible dans l’hébergement : Wi-Fi ### Stationnement et transport - Stationnement sur place ### Cuisine - Batterie de cuisine, vaisselle et couverts - Cafetière-théière - Four - Four à micro-ondes - Grille-pain - Lave-vaisselle - Réfrigérateur - Surface de cuisson ### Restauration - Table de salle à manger ### Chambres - 3 chambres - Canapé-lit - Draps fournis ### Salle de bain - 2 salles de bain - Baignoire - Séchoir à cheveux - Serviettes fournies ### Lieux de séjour - Foyer - Salle de séjour - Table de salle à manger ### Divertissement - Chaîne audio - Piano ### Espaces extérieurs - Balcon - Barbecue ### Confort - Chauffage ### Animaux de compagnie - Animaux de compagnie acceptés ### Accessibilité - Si vous avez des besoins particuliers en matière d’accessibilité, veuillez communiquer avec l’hébergement à l’aide des renseignements contenus dans la confirmation reçue après la réservation. - Carrelage dans les aires communes - Étages supérieurs accessibles par des escaliers seulement - Tapis mince dans les aires communes - Hébergement non-fumeurs ### Services et commodités - Changement des draps (sur demande) - Changement des serviettes sur demande ### Points d’intérêt de l’endroit - En zone rurale ### Activités - Table de soccer ### Dispositifs de sécurité - Détecteur de monoxyde de carbone (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone dans l’hébergement.) - Détecteur de fumée (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de fumée dans l’hébergement.) - Trousse de premiers soins - Extincteur ### Information générale - Changement de la literie sur demande - Excursions et activités organisées par des entreprises exploitées localement - Recyclage - Serviettes (changées sur demande) - Taille de l’unité : 2 200 pieds carrés - Utilisation de produits de nettoyage écologiques - Vitrine d’artistes locaux ## Hébergements similaires ![Téléviseur, foyer, lecteur de DVD](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63870000/63869300/63869223/25aa3a63_edited_52bc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coal Creek Mountain Lodge PREMIER mountain lodge with beautiful scenic views!

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! ##### Sandy T. Séjour de 14 nuits en juillet 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Richard W., ALEXANDRIA 15 oct. 2021 #### 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. ##### Richard W. Séjour de 6 nuits en août 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kara T., Stevensville, MT 28 juill. 2021 #### Fireworks view For the 2nd summer, we had a great time at the Lodge. We added a few people since our stay last year, and our family group loved the character/ambiance and views at DML. Of course we hope to return again! ##### Kara T. Séjour de 7 nuits en juillet 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Ben M. 22 juill. 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### 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! ##### Ben M. Séjour de 2 nuits en juillet 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Tony K., Wayzata, Minnesota USA 20 juill. 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### 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. ##### Tony K. Séjour de 4 nuits en juillet 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Erik S. 26 sept. 2020 Points forts : Propreté #### 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. ##### Erik S. Séjour de 5 nuits en septembre 2020 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Stephen B. 21 sept. 2020 Points forts : Propreté #### Awesome! Really cool place in a great location. ##### Stephen B. ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kara T., Stevensville, MT 5 sept. 2020 #### 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. ##### Kara T. Séjour de 3 nuits en août 2020 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Scott M. 22 juin 2020 #### 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. ##### Scott M. Séjour de 7 nuits en juin 2020 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Audrey S., Spokane, wa 2 janv. 2020 Points forts : Propreté #### Montana Gem 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! ##### Audrey S. ### 8/10 – Bien #### Krissy P. 18 juill. 2019 #### Montana Place is really rustic and unique. Kids weren’t on their phones and had a blast. It could use some updating but the views FANTASTIC! ##### Krissy P. Séjour de 3 nuits en juillet 2019 ### 6/10 – Acceptable #### Kimm I. 26 juin 2019 #### 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. ##### Kimm I. Séjour de 3 nuits en juin 2019 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Lindsey B., Montana 14 déc. 2018 #### Secluded, amazing views. My husband and I live in the Bitterroot Valley and hike around a lot but have never seen the views quite like this. Truly beautiful and will definitely be coming back. The lodge is so inviting, and we enjoyed nights out in the hot tub. Such a nice getaway yet close to home. Thank you, Johnny! ##### Lindsey B. Séjour de 3 nuits en novembre 2018 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Frankie P., Federal Way 6 sept. 2018 #### Beyond awesome!! This place is the best! If you want a kick ass view up in the mountains away form eveone this is the place !!! I love the history in this place the fact it’s on the side of a mountain,your surrounded by wildlife and nature it the best!!! This place is great for huge groups! The kitchen is such an amazing addition to the trip make it wonderful knowing you can cook for everyone and not be cramped!! John was a great host I stayed in close contact with him and he was extremely helpful. We left a little early on our last day since we had a 11 hr drive back but next time I’m out there I’ll make timeto stop by and shake Johns hand! I know I’ll be back for sure totally love this place !!! ##### Frankie P. Séjour de 2 nuits en août 2018 ### 8/10 – Bien #### William H. 29 juin 2018 #### 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. ##### William H. Séjour de 5 nuits en juin 2018 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Michelle C. 11 sept. 2017 #### Loved it Incredible setting in the mountains, quiet and remote. The interior is comfortable and spacious. Thanks for loaning it to us. ##### Michelle C. Séjour de 2 nuits en septembre 2017 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Jerome T. 22 août 2017 #### Great place to stay and an adventure to boot. 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. ##### Jerome T. Séjour de 2 nuits en juillet 2017 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Sherri D. 1 juin 2017 #### Awesome getaway! We had a fantastic time at this beautiful lodge away from it all. John was a great host, too. Hot tub, sauna, gorgeous views... couldn't have been better. Thanks for the most relaxing vacation ever!! ##### Sherri D. Séjour de 2 nuits en mai 2017
