Red Meadow Lodge: Experience the Serenity of Nature on the Edge of Glacier Park

Nestled just 5 miles north of Polebridge Montana, Red Meadow Lodge offers a unique opportunity for larger family groups to immerse themselves in a true wilderness experience.

A True Wilderness Experience

Red Meadow Lodge offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature.

Experience the serenity and beauty of the wilderness at Red Meadow Lodge, where adventure and relaxation await.

Red Meadow Lodge comfortably accommodates up to six adults, and two children, offering a spacious and cozy retreat. The large master suite features a king-sized bed and a hide-a-bed couch, complete with stunning views of Glacier Park. For added comfort, the suite includes a wood stove for chilly mornings or evenings and an air conditioning unit for warm summer nights. The master suite also boasts a private half bath. The west bedroom opens onto a charming sun porch, perfect for those who wish to sleep under the stars or experience the Northern Lights. The bunkroom is designed with the kids in mind, with log bunkbeds along with children’s books and toys.

Ideal place to get away- serene/quiet; pictures don't do it justice! Scenery is breathtaking, river runs directly behind cabin. Also, the place has all the extra details that make it even more special- beds and sheets, extremely comfortable, 3-4 different grills, fully stocked kitchen, pots, pans, spices, first aid kit, fancy shower- multi wash system, large covered balcony...

Amazing property! The views are incredible, pictures do not do it justice. We spent hours hanging at the river (family favorite). We also played horseshoes, cornhole, "hatchet" throwing, frisbee, monopoly, puzzles, etc... This off the grid cabin has everything you need (including internet for email and solar electricity). We'll be back!!

Polebridge, Montana

Our stay at this secluded cabin near Glacier National Park was nothing short of magical. Tucked away in a quiet, forested area along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the cabin provided the perfect off-the-grid retreat without sacrificing comfort. From the moment we arrived, the rustic charm and warm, welcoming atmosphere of the cabin made us feel right at home. It was well-equipped with all the essentials, plus thoughtful touches like a wood-burning stove and an extensive collection of local guidebooks, books, and maps. The cabin's location was ideal for exploring the breathtaking scenery of Glacier National Park. One morning, we spotted a mountain lion on the trail that leads down to the river—a truly memorable sighting. We have stayed in many rental houses, some of them more modern and comfortable, but this one is unique because it has a soul, which is so rare!

Time to unplug

Take the road less traveled and away from the crowds. This place has breathtaking views right from your bedroom window. Morning coffee while overlooking the river and wilderness all around. Loved it and made some lifelong memories.

Great stay on the beautiful North Fork

This is a fabulous location overlooking GNP and the North Fork of the Flathead river. Gorgeous, peaceful views everywhere on the property. The house has everything you need and has a comfortable, cozy, and 'wilderness' vibe you won't find in many places. Stock up on groceries beforehand though, as the Polebridge Mercantile has limited selection and its an hour drive to Columbia Falls/West Glacier

This is how you get away

I only have positive things to say about the Red Meadow Lodge and Karina the property manager. I went there with my wife and three teenage sons. For those of you with kids, you know that getting away from devices is difficult to do. But this property gives you a chance. No TV, which was great. The Starlink internet is there and works well, but we only used it for figuring out activities for that day and I believe they will turn it off if that's your preference. Loved that it sat on the north fork of the flathead....we brought inner tubes and floated down to Polebridge (about an hour and a half float with late July water levels). We loved sitting in the chairs overlooking the river and the GNP mountains in the distance. We loved that we were close to the North Fork section of the park. I highly recommend a late evening visit to either Bowman or Kintla Lake...very few people there in the evening. And as mentioned, Karina was super responsive to all the questions we asked....even those that were already covered in the property user guide. Again, five stars and I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect

Red Meadow Lodge was a perfect experience. We wanted experience Montana life in a rural setting and this delivered. The house was better than described and the views were stunning. Zero complaints. The Polebridge / North Fork community was welcoming as well. And once construction is completed on the Inside North Fork road the Polebridge entrance to GNP will be perfect. We will stay here again and highly recommend. Thanks to the owners and staff for a terrific stay.

Perfect Spot Off Grid

Our family had an incredible stay at Red Meadow Lodge. The river access was great to have and you are 10 minutes from the Polebridge Park entrance. Well appointed lodge with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Check with the host to see what is needed as we left many extras behind (dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, etc). Host and owner are extremely friendly and helpful. Stop up at Polebridge and rent your watercraft to use on the river. We are already planning our next visit.

Amazing location if you are looking to get away from the rat race of everyday life. Being off grid it might not be for everyone, but for those that are looking for peace and solitude it is amazing. We enjoyed the outside deck and listening to the stream in the distance. Kitchen is well stocked. We were there during the hottest part of the year and the wall AC unit was very nice to cool down the upstairs. We would definitely stay again!

30th anniversary trip

This property is absolutely gorgeous. The view is incredible and the lodge is clean and organized. My husband and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary, and there was a note and bottle of wine waiting for us! They provide laundry supplies and paper products and ask you to leave them a note if anything seems low so they can restock. I loved that! The cabin is “off the grid” and it about 10-15 minutes to reach Polebridge and the North Fork entrance into the park and about 30 minutes or so to reach the Camas Creek entrance. We personally did not mind this because the drive is lovely.

Beautiful house and property

House beautiful. Property overlooked the forest and river and was quite stunning. The only issue was the hkuse had mice. You could hear and see them after bedtime and made for less than adequate sleep. If that gets fixed, would recommend. But way to expensive per night to have a mice infestation.
