Staying in a sprawling mountain lodge will be the aim of some Whitefish visitors, and if your budget allows, the Kandahar Lodge is a fine choice. An elegant lodge, the Kandahar rests atop the beautiful Whitefish Mountain Resort, where skiing is king in the winter months, and hiking, biking, and a number of other pursuits can be enjoyed in the summer. There are different guest units to choose from at the Kandahar Lodge, and if you're trying to keep your costs down, the hotel rooms are ideal. Tiled bathrooms, pine accents, and leather furniture help to add an upscale feel to these rooms, and the soaking tubs are terrific after a full day of playing in the mountains. The studio units here are a step up from the hotel rooms, and feature kitchens for your convenience. You'll also enjoy the use of a private kitchen if you book one of the larger loft rooms, kitchen suites, or two-bedroom suites. Standard amenities throughout include cable TV, a coffee maker, a hair dryer, complimentary toiletries, guest robes, a iron/ironing board, a mini-fridge (or full fridge), a microwave, and a telephone. Free wireless internet access is offered in most rooms and in the hotel's meeting rooms and lobby. There is a small spa behind the Kandahar Lodge, and the hotel's Wellness Center features an outdoor hot tub and a large fitness room. Wild game and even some fresh seafood is on offer at the onsite café, and the cozy hotel bar is an excellent place to kick back. If the Kandahar Lodge interests you, the Lodge at Whitefish Lake is a comparable lodging choice that might suit your fancy as well.

If staying in a cabin is something that you think you'll be interested in when spending some time in the Montana Rocky Mountains, the 22 individual cabins at the North Forty Lodge are worth checking out. There are cabins here that sleep up to 5 people comfortably, and others that can accommodate up to 8, so you can choose accordingly. Among the things that each cabin boasts are a covered porch, a picnic table, and a barbecue grill, so it's almost like having your own small house. Inside, a gas fireplace, a full kitchen, and handcrafted furniture are among the highlights. The kitchens lack ovens, but the grills help to make up for that. The cabins at the North Forty Lodge aren't luxurious, but they're hardly shabby either. Guests enjoy the fact that they afford more privacy than your standard hotel room does. Outside of the cabins, guests at the North Forty Lodge can take advantage of the amenities at the Snowberry Center. These amenities include a full kitchen with ovens, two hot tubs, a recreation area, a sauna, a campfire area, and access to some fine hiking trails. The North Forty Lodge is an excellent lodging option for anyone wishing to visit Whitefish, not to mention the nearby towns of Kalispell and Bigfork.
