Homestake Lodge is a great venue for a Montana Outdoor Wedding and Reception. The Lodge and facilities are also available for other special events such as rehearsal dinners, reunions, and business retreats. Check www.homestakelodge.com for more details.

Our lodge is brand new for the 2008 – 2009 season. It consists of a great room with a fireplace, tables and chairs, a commercial kitchen, 2 bunkrooms, which sleep 8-12 people, a wax room, bathrooms and showers and a full service ski shop.

We have 35km of groomed trails, as well as a 2km lighted ski loop for evening hours. About 10km of the trail network are dog-friendly.

We will have (summer 2009) a yurt available for a ski-in ski-out rental. It is located 1-2km from the lodge right off the trail.

The terrain has as much variability as you’d like for your ski experience. There are gentle climbs, thrilling downhills, easy flats and open meadows perfect for chatting with friends and soaking up the rays.

There will be three types of trails designed to suit the different interests of cross-country skiers.

1. 12′ wide groomed trails for skating and classic. These trails will be maintained with a Pisten Bully.

2. Adventure trails which are 4-6′ wide and groomed with a snowmobile for classic and/or skate. These trails are old-school style and will take you back to an era when trails were narrow and twisted and turned through the woods.

3. Touring trails which are not groomed. These narrow trails take you away from it all and get you close to nature.

We offer BBQs and picnics for groups as well as hosting retreats, reunions and seminars. There is a lot of room for children to play, exercise and enjoy the Montana outdoors. Lewis and Clark Caverns are located nearby in the Lewis and Clark State Park. Fall brings beautiful colors and excellent fishing in the area. There are cross country ski trails located 3 miles from the lodge.

Our horseback trail rides are from 2-8 hours long, or ride to a mountain lake. All rides are guided and our stock is safe for all levels of experience. The 7 hour Continental Divide ride is a wonderful day.

Our Youth Camp for 10- to 15-year-olds is a week long outdoor adventure.

Our lodge is 6,000 square feet and offers 2 kitchens, rec rooms and lots of home comforts and hospitality, along with our home style meals. Give us a call at (406)494-2960.
