Serious hospitality owners or operators could not ask for a more marketable location than the charming resort town of Whitefish and this special Whitefish Montana Inn for sale could not offer a more appealing location within this active destination. Good Medicine Lodge is a 9 room Select Registry Inn that was designed and built by Lindal Cedar Homes in 1979. The Inn sits within easy walking distance of downtown Whitefish, and Whitefish Lake which offers miles of walking and biking trails. The Inn is a mere 35 minute drive to the entrance of Glacier National Park which is in the top 10 most visited National Parks, with visitation in recent years averaging three million guests. In winter, Whitefish Mountain Resort offers world class opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, and other activities, and guests of Good Medicine Lodge have direct access to the mountain via the S.N.O.W. bus stop located directly in front of the Inn.
The physical plant at Good Medicine Lodge reflects the current and former owners’ appreciation for the natural world that surrounds the Inn and resort town. The Inn’s six guestrooms and three suites are all artfully designed and feature Montana made comforters, Coyuchi organic linens, locally crafted soaps and, and other amenities not found in the average 9 room Bed and Breakfast. Common rooms at the Inn are equally impressive and include a striking great room with cathedral ceilings, wood burning stove, a wall of picture windows and ample seating for guests of the Inn. This is the perfect place to warm up or check in with owners after a day on the slopes or exploring Glacier National Park. Just beyond this space is the Inn’s dining room with gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, heated floors, and seating for 22 (8 tables).
Current owners invested heavily in bringing the Inn’s commercially licensed kitchen up several tiers and this space is exceptional in every way and offers functional space for owners, including a small office space tucked in the corner for easy access to booking information during ongoing food preparation at the Inn. A guest bar is famous among guests for its stocked cookie jars, complimentary beverages, water filling station, and striking Montana crafted furniture. This space leads onto the Inn’s deck, hot tub, and back yard with perennial plantings and, in the other direction, takes guests to a private library with guest television and books of local and state interest. A lounge area with rocking chairs, guest computer station, and stone wood burning fireplace lead to a hallway that contains the majority of the Inn’s guestrooms.
The Inn featured beatifully landscaped and irrigated grounds with several seating areas surrounding the property. This space include a 6 person hot tub, expansive edible garden, yard games, fire pit and Whitefish Mountain Resort views. Throughout the lodge you will find local Montana artwork, beautiful handmade furnishings and hardware. You will also find an upgraded WI-Fi network, guest laundry, along with an 11 vehicle parking lot with security lift gate system recently installed to service guests.
The owner’s quarters are a spectacular contrast to the living conditions experienced by many operators in our industry. This two bedroom apartment features an open concept living area with cathedral ceiling and exposed beams, picture windows, a well designed chef’s kitchen, and large primary suite with a deck looking over the Inn’s gardens and the Big Mountains beyond and a bathroom with a rain shower and soaking tub. This area can be accessed through the Inn’s two bay garage (via the Inn’s laundry room) or by private entrance on the side of the Inn. A “secret door” also leads into one of the Inn’s first floor suites which offers the opportunity to host friends and family within reach of the owner’s quarters, or potentially to offer the owner’s quarters as a rentable unit.
The details are at focus at Good Medicine Lodge and have driven the Inn’s position as the #1 Bed and Breakfast in Whitefish on TripAdvisor. The Inn is also a long time recipient of TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award. We are thrilled to be offering this special and highly marketable Whitefish Montana Inn for sale and can provide detailed financial data to serious and qualified buyers.
