Whitefish Bike Retreat

TRAILSIDE LODGING AND CAMPING ON THE WHITEFISH TRAIL!

The Whitefish Bike Retreat encompasses 39 acres of wilderness adjacent to the Whitefish Trail system (47 miles of sweet hiking and biking single track), offering unique and affordable trailside lodging options for cyclists and adventurers including a Lodge with single bunks and private rooms and some of the best camping in the area. Not just for cyclists, the Retreat is great for anyone who wants adventure out the front door.

In addition to lodging, the Whitefish Bike Retreat offers bike rentals, paddleboard rentals, bikepacking bags and shuttle services.

The Whitefish Bike Retreat is not just a place to stay, but a place to experience! The Retreat is offers a Lodge with immediate access to the Whitefish Trail and a convenient location near local cross-country and downhill biking trails that are minutes away and offer a variety of riding adventures.

Additionally, the Great Divide Route, the Northern Tier Route, the Great Parks Route and countless more riding trails are located throughout Northwest Montana and provide miles of open gravel and paved roads to tour at your leisure. You can begin or end your journey here or stop by for a night's rest along your way. Riding happens year-round at the Whitefish Bike Retreat!

During the winter, the WBR has a 1.5 mile groomed snow trail network just for fat biking. The trail is free for all, but guests are encouraged to drop a few dollars in the donation jar to help cover the cost of trail grooming. If you want to try fat biking but don't have a fat bike of your own, you're in luck! The Whitefish Bike Retreat has a fleet of rental bikes.

We welcome all adventurers throughout the year. It is a place where cyclists or adventurers can come together to enjoy one another, learn from one another, and help one another. No worries if you don't want to ride; come and enjoy the area, the activities and the trails that Northwest Montana has to offer as a hiker, skier or runner. Or, just paddle one of the many pristine lakes close by. Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain Resort are close and offer a range of outdoor activities both in the summer and winter.
