#1 Lodging Recommendation
Hotel
Grouse Mountain Lodge
Grouse Mountain Lodge is our top lodging recommendation for our wedding weekend in Whitefish. We will be staying here as well and would love to be alongside our guests who choose to stay at this location. A room block has been reserved at Grouse Mountain Lodge with discounted wedding rates for our guests. To book within our room block, please contact Grouse Mountain Central Reservations directly M-F from 8-5 MTN and tell them our last names (Hansen-Parrett) and they will book a room in our block for 15% off regular rates. NOTE: THESE ROOMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. You can only book the block through calling directly to their reservations team. I apologize for the inconvenience as we are a bit old school in Montana. :) Grouse Reservations Phone: 406-892-2525 Please note: all reserved room blocks will be released to the public 90 days prior to our wedding date. We highly recommend booking before this deadline to secure availability and the discounted rate. Availability is limited, so we encourage booking early. We can’t wait to spend the weekend together!
