If you want charm, love to ski and enjoy quant shopping and outstanding dining experiences Whitefish Montana is undeniably one to add to your bucket list, lovely Whitefish Mt has so much to offer. My Western Heart had a recent trip to Whitefish Montana in January; it was the perfect cure for the post the holiday blues.
Before traveling to a destination I love to Google it and see what it’s about. The pictures on Google were of white snowy mountains and quaint small town streets decorated for Christmas. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
My worry was that all the Christmas decorations would be gone as we arrived the week after New Year’s, in So Cal the decorations seem to quickly disappear on Dec 26. After all they have been up since October.
When we arrived we had an interesting escort on the runway by these fellows, yep the snow plows. I must say our pilot landed our plane just as if it were a beautiful sunny warm day. Best landing ever!
We got in our rental car, which by the way tripled in price from the month earlier, no really it did.
Our heated seats were a pleasant surprise as the outside temp dipped to 10

Loaded up we headed to our lodge, we had only seen pictures on the internet. On the internet the lodged looked ok, nothing special but hey I was thrilled to be staying in a lodge and not camping for once. Don’t get me wrong, but maids and room service are something haven’t seen for years, and to not have to pack up the motor coach was a REAL treat. Don’t get me wrong, I love camping but once in a while change is good, real good.
Our timing was perfect, we hit an epic storm in beautiful Whitefish, snow was falling everywhere, a real treat for this So Cal girl. As we approached Whitefish we were greeted with this sign.
I was thrilled! Imagine that! Christmas decorations! As we traveled closer to the lodge, quaint little houses appeared with twinkling lights and the most picturesque decorations ever. The houses sat brilliantly in the snow, surrounded by Christmas glory.
This was just our drive to the lodge; I have so much to share about this incredible trip to Whitefish Montana. My next post I will share a very special surprise at the lodge. Stay tuned as I share my surprise. Have you been to Whitefish or have you added it to your bucket list? Comment now
Until next time, happy, healthy trails!
