About this property

River LodgeTipi's at Stepping Stone

Facing the Swan Mountains on 20 beautiful rolling acres in North West Montana
are three 20' Tipi's available for overnight stays for those looking for a more
"down to earth experience". This Tipi has a Queen size bed, linens & blankets, grass mats, small tables,
and solar lights. Enjoy the moon, and experience the wonder of being/sleeping
in an ancient conical structure!! The rest room is near by in the glass blowing studio,
which is very basic, nothing fancy....just a sink and a toilet, no shower. But due to such overwhelming interest in the tipi experience we will be adding a new solar powered shower next season! Most folks have been enjoying swimming in the near by world class Flathead Lake.
DIRECTIONS
Once turning off Hwy 35 at Saint John Paul Catholic Church it is the 3rd driveway on your left. Immediately after the Rising Mountain assisted Living. There are red streamers
Tied to a glass and metal pole! It is 0.2 of a mile from hwy 35. Siri & goggle maps takes you too far down Coverdell Rd.
*** If you are squeamish about insects.... expect a hotel type restroom...or experiencing varied weather conditions, this destination is probably not for you !!

Unique Montana experience
We had the absolute BEST experience here! The host, Lee was so kind and accommodating and had an adorable cat which made our stay that much better. It’s a very fun experience and the outdoor shower was a hit! Would highly recommend this spot for a cute weekend getaway. Lee is also a talented artist and we were lucky enough to watch his glass blowing

Not what we expected!
No floor in tent; tent not secure to ground; I love cats, but not when they jump on me after midnight when sleeping!!! I can do with basic amenities, such as no shower and walking to the restroom, but NO HOT WATER!?!? The toilet that was available was filthy - no attempt to have cleaned it for possibly years!! Host was there at checkin, but I asked via messages several questions after we arrived and I never heard from him again!! We paid for 2 nights, and didn’t go back after the first night!! Pictures showed tepees at night glowing, implying that there were lights of some kind inside - there were NO LIGHTS! The outside solar lights were scarce and very dim; outside furniture was old and unsafe to sit on. Very bad experience!! I’m still suffering from ptsd from the cat jumping on us in the middle of the night!! Camping should be fun, not terrifying!! On the plus side: beautiful property, the bed was comfortable (until the cat attack!) and host is an excellent glass worker and had an interesting shop.

Magical Place, Great Host
Such a unique experience! We had an amazing stay and just loved sitting in front of the tipi gazing out at the massive mountain range and listening to the coyotes howling in the distance. Lee was a fantastic host and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I highly recommend this one!

Connect back to the land
We love the tipis because they take us back to our connection with the Earth. We love looking at the stars at night and staying in simplicity. And just a hop skip and a jump away is the lake, food, etc. we absolutely this love this place and Lee is a super awesome human. His glass blowing is out of this world.

Highly recommend to adventurer's.
The rental process was easy. Lee was a great host who responds back timely with questions and concerns (if any). If I needed something he got it for me. The property exceeded my expectations. The teepee was huge! The bed was comfortable and came with a little night stand and small bench. Do expect crickets and few other small insects. They don’t bother you at all. Nights were nice and cool so I experienced no sweating at all. That was a concern of mine since there’s no AC. The outdoor shower works but you’ll need a small light source if showering at night. I used my phone. There’s a cat as well that slept with me my third night. Super friendly. The views were amazing with the mountains in front of you off in the distance when you exited your teepee. The bathroom was indoor and real close to the teepee if you needed to go late at night. 10/10 I’d stay again. I dig stuff like this. What an experience.

Son loved staying in the Tipee!
Lee, the owner, was terrific and helpful. We stayed in the main house (see review) and rented two of the tipees for my son and his friend. They loved the setting and the outside shower.
