Lodgepole Gallery

We had a great time. Approached like tent camping, the tipi was comfortable and the fire relaxing. There was a nice place for breakfast both inside or outside with self-serve amenities. The showers were warm and clean. We didn't bring any camping gear just warm clothes to sleep in, it got down to 39 the night we were there, so slept in a couple of layers. If you haven't slept in this kind of weather, wear a stocking cap it makes a big difference! We rebuilt the fire in early morning for a slight warm up. The owners and person who checked is in were very polite and helpful. As guests we also helped each other, so engaging others and self help made for a good evening and visit. And the dogs were friendly too.

Quiet, clean, very peaceful little cabin! Amazing porch area to sit & read a book, able to see for miles across the prairie. Shared little fridge, microwave, grill, toaster, coffee maker, etc. Would also recommend going to the Museum of the Plains Indian down the street.

Really nice place to stay. It’s really peaceful because there’s nothing else there so no noise. It has everything you need, the room has a heater if it gets cold, a sofa and a table and a little porch outside to enjoy the sunset. The bathrooms are really clean and they give you everything, towels, soap, shampoo. And they have a little kitchen with a microwave, fridge and plates and glasses if you need something. In general the stay was lovely, only thing is that the bathrooms are outside and you have to walk a little and it gets really really cold so that’s the only bad thing, but they mention it in the description that they are shared bathrooms.

This is a bit of cultural appropriation I can do without. If you are wanting to stage for Glacier NP, use the overflow campsite (also has tipis) on US 89 just south of Many Glacier. Cheaper too, at $20/night for tent camping. ||||When we checked in, the man told us we could use our car to load/unload, as long as we didn't leave the car down there since vehicles disturbed the picturesque look of the campsite. We told him we would be leaving pre-dawn and he said that was fine. Others also left very early.||||We had some tense delays finding the road down to the campsite in the early morning darkness: the driveway was closed off by a heretofore unnoticed fence gate, of the loose post-and-wire type, so very hard to notice in the darkness since it looked just like the rest of the fence. When I wrote the owner suggesting that she add some reflectors to the fenceposts, she said "I would rather have no cars in the tipi-camp during quiet hours from 10PM to 7AM" OK, fine. Then be up front about it, **publish those limitations**, train your staff, and enforce them consistently. Had I known that, I would have definitely not chosen this property.||||Tipis are bare, dusty earth--be sure to bring a tarp--with a fire pit in the middle. They are close together and you can easily hear the neighbors. The bathrooms are a 5-minute walk uphill (watch out for gopher holes in the dark), or use the port-a-potty nearby, which was dirty and almost without toilet paper when I used it. There is a pond close by, but happily we did not experience any mosquitoes, since the tipis of course do not have any screens. There is a nice porch and room "upstairs" for watching the sunset.

The tipi village is located east of Glacier Park. We love a night or two of camping but not the work! This was perfect-we slept in the tipi--fire pit and all. We took advantage of the mattress and sleeping bags with sleeping liners available for rent. It was perfect. We could hear the gentle sounds of nature and the night sky was incredible. The Milky Way and constellations were vivid. The bathroom/shower room were clean. The continental breakfast on the porch overlooking the prairie was very relaxing. In booking Lodgepole tipis I was dubious and excited. Absolutely glad we stayed here--provided a different experience than staying in Glacier Park.

This is such an amazing and special place! ||The first thing to note is that you are camping here - the property is listed on several hotel booking sites which imply that you're renting an actual bed. You're not. You're renting a pre-assembled tipi on the property with sleeping bag and mat as optional add-ons. It's worth every penny!||The tipis are traditional and have fire pits on the INSIDE! Even on a cold night the fire and the super warm and comfy sleeping bags (with mat, pillow and extra blanket) will make you feel snug. The very lovely couple who run Lodgepole supply wood and kindling for you at no extra cost. ||The grounds also have men's and women's facilities for bathroom and shower needs which were clean and well maintained. In addition there is a common area where you can sit inside if you want to escape from "roughing it" momentarily. There is free wifi in there. ||There is also a communal fire pit area where several guests gathered, one with a guitar, and strangers became friends. It was kind of magical at the end of the evening because you really do feel like you're part of a native village surrounded by the mountains in the distance. ||I stayed here the day before visiting Glacier National Park and consider myself very lucky to have found it. Absolute gem and an experience I'll always remember fondly.

My friend decided to rent a tipi for a night after visiting Glacier National Park! I liked how it had bathrooms and showers! The lodge had hot chocolate, coffee, microwave, and internet! The tipi had 4 mattresses (my 3 year old came along), warm sleeping bags, pillows, and wood for a fire! It was all ready to go! It did get cold at night if we didn't keep the fire going, so that was the only drawback (and hearing a train in the distance)! Overall is was a fun experience! Bring a flashlight in case you have to go to the bathroom at night.

So first of all, if you have kids I think it’s worth the trip for the experience. Our children loved helping with the fire inside the tipi and looking in the art gallery. The owners were kind and the gallery had some lovely pieces. We did go into Browning and to the grocery store, which in itself was an educational and cultural experience I am glad my children had. ||If you like to camp you will be fine with the experience and it is also worth it for the beautiful pictures. If you hate camping or are not laid back, this isn’t for you.||We do camp a lot and have no problem paying extra when it supports family businesses or is for a unique setting-|So it was very pricy for camping but that’s no big deal for us and our kids thought it was magical.||The reason I am not giving full stars is because the place was booked and they basically put us in the tipi that is in the parking lot. We booked 6 months in advance and selected a different tipi so I am not sure why we got stuck with this. The owner even told us they rarely use it except when they are booked.|The tipi itself was large and beautiful but cars were parked right next to us and we listened to people come and go all night and morning-running their engines just a foot away from where we slept. We even had people open up our tipi flap and look in several times thinking it was just a decoration and we were getting changed one of the times. For what we paid it was a major let down not to be in the big beautiful field with all the other tipis. I wish I had said something but we were only staying for one night and it wasn’t worth it at that point.||Still worth it for the pictures, but you may want to be sure that if you are a larger family you don’t end up where we were.

We booked "Traditional Cabin, Private Bathroom, Lake View (Buffalo-Cabin #2)" for 4 of us during an August 2021 Glacier NP trip. We arrived late (~10PM) and nearly couldn't find the place because it was PITCH DARK without visible signage or lighting. Address says at Durham Road but it's really a dirt road 50 feet from Durham that is very easily missed. We found our check-in details taped to the front door. I say "found" because it was PITCH DARK so I had to use the flashlight on my cell phone and the lights to the car in order to see it. The paper directed us to Cabin 2 and said the key could be found under the front mat. We walked over uneven terrain, down stairs, across more uneven terrain to find Cabin 2. It was PITCH DARK without any outdoor lighting or lights on in the cabin. The room itself (and really, it was just a square room) was fine. It seemed clean, but was very basic. We immediately noticed there wasn't a bathroom attached. The bathrooms and showers are located in another structure back across the uneven terrain, up the flight of stairs, across more uneven terrain to the bathroom structure. Any middle of the night bathroom trips would need to be made in the PITCH DARK without any outdoor lighting. We ultimately decided it wouldn't be safe for us to stay there, so we left. We luckily found a lovely room WITH A BATHROOM at Glacier Park Lodge that was much more comfortable and safe for our family of 4. BEWARE of the misleading "private bathroom" and bathroom "a few steps away" language that are totally inaccurate and meant to mislead. Definitely not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues.

This experience was pretty amazing, and we loved staying on the blackfeet reservation. Just know going in that it isn't a hotel; rather you are sleeping on the ground and outside. It is not an experience that is for everyone. From my understanding, these tipis are pretty authentic and the owner is a member of the blackfeet tribe with great knowledge in building tipis. Nearby the tipi, there is a warm shower house, and also a room guests have 24 hour access too; to hang out in. Sleeping in the tipi with my friends is an experience I won't soon forget.

We found out we booked a Tipi during the last week of the outdoor camping season and we're so grateful we did. We arrived late in the evening to find our very detailed instructions posted on the front door. The thorough instructions included how to get to our Tipi, how to access the showers and restrooms, obtain firewood, and access the 24 hour common area that included coffee, wifi, microwave, fresh towels, and a sewing machine. The showers were worth the stay alone. They were hot, clean, and the space was cozy. Firewood was provided and fully stocked to have a small fire inside of your Tipi. Although Tipi camping may not be for everyone, it certainly was for us. The Tipis were large, well maintained, and easily accessible. It is every bit of camping but under canvas versus a tent. So expect the usual bugs, mice, dirt, and fire smoke. We were kindly greeted in the morning by Darrell, the owner and operator of this beautiful property. We had the privilege and honor of listening to Darrell speak to a group about his Blackfeet heritage and culture. It was an enlightening and wonderful experience. Don't forget to stop by the art gallery where we met Darrells wife and daughter. There are many hand made items and pieces of art by local Artists and Darrell himself.

We spent one night in a tipi. Not exactly what we expected. Upon arriving I found out my reservation was for one person and had to pay addl. $28. The ad says tipi for 4. After much research I found a button stating to add additional people. I would not have paid $121.00 for a tipi for 1 night. Secondly, the bedding we received was full of burn holes. We discovered when we lit our firepit with their supplied wood that embers flew all of the tipi and we were constantly having to extinguish them. The quality of wood they provided was terrible. We ended up putting the fire out so we could safely sleep. Third, the ground between the tents and bathrooms is full of groundhogs/gopher holes and to walk to the bathroom after dark was dangerous. There were some solar lights but many not working. Fourth, their site tells about patrons sitting around the big campfire listening to natives telling about their culture, The only people around the fire were customers. The native Americans that work there left about 5pm. The owners are not native Americans. Lastly, we called the morning we left and tried to talk to someone and ended up leaving a message. No one returned our call. If you are interested in staying here check out more review sites. This one does not show all the negative complaints.

This very unusual accommodation is run by a hardworking couple who offer either a tipi or cabin. The tipis are classic with a center fire pit and raw ground. It's a bring your own everything for a unique sleeping opportunity. There are clean bathrooms, showers, inside and out hanging out places and WiFi. I happily stayed in a cabin. Woke in the middle of the night to watch a huge sky of stars with the Milky Way in view.

Incredible camping in a tipi experience. Was warm and dry all night went the temperatures dipped down to 39 degrees. We kept a fire going in our tipi for most of the night (wood was provided we brought our own matches). The bathrooms were a short walk from the tipi area but wore appropriate warm clothing and used a flashlight to not trip in the prairie dog/ground squirrel holes. The bathrooms were clean and had two toilet stalls and two showers. There was rarely a wait for either and the bathroom area was warm. There was an outside common area to build a fire (wood was provided, we brought our own matches), chat with other campers, and roast marshmallows in the evening. There was also an inside common area where you could charge phones when needed. We payed extra for a delicious continental breakfast the next morning (there really are not many restaurants to eat in Browning). Would highly recommend staying here in the future with it only being a 30 minute drive to East Glacier/Two Medicine Area and about an hour to St. Mary's/Rising Sun Area of Glacier National Park.

Teepee was fun, they supply plenty of fire wood. Family style eating and food is equally good

Camping in the teepee was an amazing experience. The teepee and eveything offered was great. Bedding needs to be updated and the lady working the front desk and booking needs to be taught some manners. She was very rude. Everyone else including the owners running the place were very helpful and friendly.

I thought this was poor value, as it cost more than local hotels. I like camping but it's usually cheap. The fire in the tipi doesn't draw well enough to keep the air breathable inside, although this won't be an issue if you come in the summer

Horrible foreign woman owner (not Native American by any stretch of the imagination) refused to give refund after finding extremely lumpy ground completely covered in squirrel feces both moist and dried. When asked if the owner and her partner would stay on the same ground they offered us to try another one. Meanwhile my two year old found rusty spikes lying near our tepee. When asked about this they said it was to erect another tepee tomorrow. I mentioned we have 5 children all 12 to 2 here all night and morning. They did nothing about the spikes, leaving them there for the night. There were so many squirrels we were advised not to bring down any food to the tepees. Despite it being a very long walk down a hill from the cars and bathrooms. The owner woman shoved our kids out of her art gallery and locked the door behind them even though one of the kids were still in there using the bathroom!!! Not at all kid friendly. Not at all handicap or elderly or bad knee, hip, ankle friendly. Just not friendly. The male partner was nice but he has no say so. I asked for my money back she said she wouldn't even talk about it! The father of the other family got her to agree to refund half of my money. Got home today and came to find out just that she didn't even refund the amount promised!!! It was completely overcharged to begin with at $155/night June 21st, 2016. We had just spent 2 nights in yurts at the North American RV and Yurt Village for much less with actual floors and furniture and closer to the park.
