FAQs
Question
When should I arrive and depart?
Answer
Arrival: Thursday, September 4th! We'll kick off the weekend on Thursday evening with a beach party and reggae band at Flathead Lake Lodge. Departure: The wedding on Saturday afternoon/evening is the last scheduled event of the weekend, so feel free to book flights Sunday morning if you're eager to get home :)
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
If history is any indication, we can expect highs in the 70s and sun during the first week of September but the weather can be unpredictable in Montana so we recommend checking the forecast leading up to the weekend and packing accordingly! Even if we have beautiful days, the nights are cool (40s and 50s) so be sure to pack layers regardless.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
Guests are of course welcome to bring their children to Montana, but our evening events will be adult-only. We plan to provide babysitting services on site at the lodge during the evenings, so please let us know if you plan to bring your children and we can plan accordingly.
Question
What are the best things to do in Montana?
Answer
If you are planning a couple of extra days in the area, we highly recommend planning a trip to Glacier National Park. Check out the details on the "Things to Do" tab and for the most up to date information on the park visit https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/index.htm.
Question
Should I plan to rent a car?
Answer
Yes, we recommend renting a car for your stay. While the drive from Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) to Bigfork is only about 25-30 minutes, the Flathead Valley is spread out and having a car will give you the most flexibility. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are limited in the area, especially for early morning or late-night rides. A car will also allow you to explore local attractions like Glacier National Park and visit nearby towns like Whitefish. If you plan to rent a car, we recommend booking well in advance as the Kalispell airport has a limited rental car fleet that often books up during peak seasons.
Question
Is there cell service/WiFi at the venue?
Answer
While Flathead Lake Lodge does have WiFi and cell service, coverage can be spotty in some areas due to the mountain location. We recommend downloading any necessary maps or directions beforehand.
