We had an incredible stay at Kandahar Lodge and can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout our visit. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the base of the mountain where we enjoyed hiking, biking, and the scenic chairlift to the top with stunning views of Whitefish and the lake. The mountain also offers a free shuttle to town, which made getting around super convenient. The highlight of our stay was without a doubt Buchanan’s Chophouse. We ended up dining there daily—the food was consistently excellent, the outdoor patio was perfect, and the service was top-notch. Huge thanks to James, the owner, who personally made us feel at home, and TJ, the bartender, who served up amazing drinks and great conversation. This lodge offers the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and hospitality. We’re already looking forward to coming back this winter to ski and wouldn’t stay anywhere else! Thanks again for everything!

The front desk staff at check in was not very helpful. She made it seem that my questions were not important and that we were wasting her time. When booking the hotel, many of the pictures were misleading. There is no “spa”, no slide and made seem like glacier was out the door. Also, we were there for 2 days and when wanting the restaurant, we were told it was closed due to a special event. Asked to get pizza and were refused.

Was Disappointed

There is not an elevator. We had to go up all those stairs with our luggage. We were on vacation for 2 weeks, traveling everywhere. Breakfast was not good. The checking lady when we got there was not friendly. The lady in the morning was nice. I will never stay there again

Great place to stay

This was a great place to stay for my time in Whitefish. Location was close enough to get to stuff fairly quickly but not too close to be a problem with crowds. It was clean and outside was very nice. Hot tub outdoors was good too. Breakfast offered multiple options and was replenished quickly if needed but also put away right on time so get it in the time frame specified. All the workers were very nice and helpful with any questions. I booked early in offseason so not sure what rates would have been in July but I was pleased and would recommend for anyone considering.

I mean, the guy named Marc at the front desk was amazing, and breakfast was phenomenal. But one female front desk person wasn't intending to help, like when we asked how to go to Glacier or Flathead. She was trying to avoid us, so yeah, overall, it was good.

AVOID FOR GOD SAKE!!! The room had smoke smell with poor sheets. Bathtub was clogged and no action was taken in spite of reporting the problem. Constant noise of pipes and ducts. Breakfast was horrible and hairdryer wasn’t working. Overall not worth the money. AC was making noise and could not sleep the entire night. Not worth the money and national park lodges are much cheaper and cleaner. I would highly suggest to avoid.
