If it’s time for your next leadership retreat or your client asks you to find a unique location for their next meeting, consider Western Montana’s Glacier Country. This extraordinary meetings destination is chock-full of unique lodging for corporate retreats, leadership meetings, executive think-tanks and more. Combine one-of-a-kind lodging and meeting venues with the stunning scenery, recreational opportunities for pleasure or teambuilding, and free time for meditation and solitude, and your team will delight in meeting in Montana. What do we mean by unique? Consider a luxury treehouse overlooking Whitefish Mountain Resort or a geodome with the ability to stare at the big Montana sky full of stars all night. Perhaps a glamping tent with your own camp butler to help with drinks and gourmet s’mores around the fire at night or a boutique guest ranch where Clydesdale horses great you upon arrival. Glacier Country continues to add unique lodging properties for that next meeting consideration.

Glamping Tents and Geodomes
Luxury camping, often referred to as glamping, is a fun option for a get-back-to-nature retreat. Western Montana has options that range from rustic to 5-star accommodations.
Located in Coram and about 5 miles from the west entrance to Glacier National Park is Under Canvas Glacier. Offering a multitude of glamping tents, from safari to treehouse style, each canvas tent comes fully furnished with beds, linens and a wood burning stove. Some of the tents utilize private bathrooms located a short walk away, while the more elaborate tents have their own ensuite bathroom. The Resort at Paws Up has taken glamping to a whole new level and offers six different glamping camps with 36 luxury tents, some located along the beautiful Blackfoot River. Each tent features an ensuite bathroom, heated floors (some with clawfoot tubs), heat and air conditioning and your very own camp butler and camp chef. The all-inclusive Ranch at Rock Creek offers glamping tents—it’s hard to call this tent camping—with the finest amenities and an extensive list of guided outdoor activities that include all the gear and equipment needed for an experience of a lifetime. New to the glamping scene is BaseGlamp, offering a unique glamping experience. Located in the middle of 20 pine-forested acres, this year-round, eco-friendly, retreat location just north of Whitefish offers peace, serenity and a real get-back-to-nature feel. 12 unique geodesic domes all with ensuite bathrooms, fireplaces and heated floors also feature outdoor cedar hot tubs and fire pits. Meetings can be held in their welcome barn with sofas and a kitchen, along with catered meals, or hit the charming mountain town of Whitefish for dining and nightlife.
Treehouses and Chalets
The three Snow Bear Treehouses, along with the neighboring chalets, offer slopeside luxury accommodations at Whitefish Mountain Resort in Whitefish. Each treehouse sleeps six comfortably, includes a private hot tub, gas fireplace and a starry turret. Next door are beautifully appointed chalets that sleep six as well, where catered meals can be arranged because your team won’t want to leave this amazing place once they arrive.
