Glacier International Airport (FCA) is located just 12 miles from the town of Whitefish and 30 miles from the West Entrance of Glacier National Park. It's the closest airport to our venue - approximately 30 minutes. Missoula airport (MSO) is approximately 2.5 hours from our venue. From DTW to either airport you can expect at least one layover. Hopper is a useful app that allows you to enter your departure and arrival airport and the dates you want - it will notify you when prices rise and fall. It will also advise you when it's the best time to buy!
Hotel
This is our preferred choice of lodging because it is where our wedding ceremony and reception will be. There is an option for a lodge (which is most similar to a hotel) or modern cabins available. These will be blocked off through December for our guests only. After December, they will be available to the public so it will be in your best interest to book early! To make a reservation, you MUST call 406-888-5454 and tell them you are booking for Kyle and Laura's wedding. If you try to book online it will look as if all the rooms are taken already. Heaven's Peak Lodge, Glacier Guides Lodge, and the Belton Chalet are also nearby overnight accomodations within a mile of our venue.
Hotel
*** UPDATE 9-4-21 *** An executive bus will be picking up the wedding guests staying at the Country Inn & Suites at 4pm on the wedding day and taking everyone back after. ***UPDATE 6-6-21 *** If booking here, there is a discounted rate for our wedding guests from 9/13-9/18. Please call and let the staff know you are a part of the "Strube Wedding". It's showing $300+ a night online, but our block of rooms is $135 when you call. The number is (406) 300-3243. This rate will expire on 8/13/21. If you're interested in staying the night in Kalispell (where Glacier International Airport is and where our welcome dinner we be) this is our recommendation! It's top rated by traveler reviews and is very affordable. Breakfast is complimentary.*** They have a free shuttle bus to/from the airport. The hotel is just two minutes from the FCA airport.***
