Butler Creek Lodge Testimonials

We had our wedding at Butler Creek Lodge in June. It is truly breathtaking property and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect setting for the biggest day of our lives. Dorinda and Dennis are the kindest hosts you could imagine. They made us feel very welcome and it was truly a pleasure to get to know them over the course of the weekend. We’re extremely grateful we were able to celebrate our marriage in such a beautiful place. This is Montana at its finest. We’re already talking about booking the lodge for our anniversary. Bobby an
Our family of 12 had plenty of room and our every wish fulfilled at Butler Creek Lodge. Dorinda and Dennis are those rare hosts who really want you to be as comfortable as they are! From coffee and muffins for 1st mornings’ breakfast to DVD’s for the kids to beautifully landscaped grounds with comfy chairs to enjoy the sunsets, this is a lovely home in every way. This is a super well-supplied kitchen! It is convenient to downtown Missoula yet private and quiet in typical Montana country.
Graduation Celebration at Butler Creek Lodge
Wow! What a find! We celebrated our daughters college graduation from the University of Montana and our entire family stayed at the lodge. Dorinda and Dennis are the most wonderful hosts and we wished we could have stayed longer. We had 16 guests and also had additional guests for the Grad Party. Perfect for this occasion and we did not have to stay in hotels separate from one another and did not have eat out at every meal. There was nothing we wanted or needed as the lodge and hosts had it ALL! I want to have an event in Missoula just so we can go back. And the price was cheaper than a hotel!
This review is long overdue! My husband and I got married at Butler Creek Lodge in August 2018. I fell in love with the venue the moment

Awesome service. Great location. Surreal feel. Fair price. If you’re in Missoula and don’t want the normal motel, this is the place. A fast drive out of town and it seems like ages. Highly recommend. Will not disappoint.
Missoula Trip
While on a recent visit to Missoula, MT we stayed at the Butler Creek Lodge. We were on a fly fishing trip. It was very comfortable, beds were great. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The setting was very pretty.
A friend and I booked Butler Creek Lodge for the first 4 nights of our Montana fly fishing trip. The owner’s sister Dorinda, and her husband Dennis have recently taken over management of the Lodge and are doing a fantastic job!
The Lodge was full and so we were accommodated in a self-contained apartment within the main house. The apartment was ideal for our needs, consisting of 2 bedrooms, shower room, kitchen and living area; and also had a covered patio area looking out over the gardens.
The gardens are well looked after and very peaceful, and you can find yourself sharing your coffee with a couple of grazing deer.
Dorinda and Dennis were a lovely couple who couldn’t do enough for you, without making you feel as if you were being crowded or watched. The breakfasts were superb and the choice extensive.
I feel the Lodge was perfectly located. Only 10 minutes from the airport, but well away from the flight path so the tranquility was not affected. Only 10-15 minutes from downtown Missoula, and located about halfway between two of the main National Parks, Yellowstone and Glacier.
If you are a fisherman then you’re in for a treat! The Bitterroot, Clark Fork, Rock Creek and our favourite, the Blackfoot river are all only a short drive away,
We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked in for the last 3 nights of our 2-week fly drive fishing tour as we couldn’t leave without fishing the Blackfoot one last time. Coming back to Butler Creek was much like coming home.
Highly recommended.
“Thanks for a wonderful week with great food and lovely accommodations. This is our fourth year here and we hope to make it a family tradition for years to come. ‘Til next year.”
