Laughing Horse Lodge - Guest house in Bigfork with gourmet dining, garden courtyard, and resident animals
Dining
Laughing Horse Lodge serves a gourmet dinner that guests describe as the best they have had in years, with dishes such as perfectly cooked lamb chops and a signature huckleberry peach pie. Breakfast is chef's choice and includes items like blintzes, waffles, omelets, and fresh fruit, with vegetarian and vegan options available upon request. Live music, including Gypsy Jazz and blues, accompanies dinner in the flowering garden.
Rooms
Each room is small and rustic, with wood paneling, flooring, and ceiling, and a large log bed topped with a generous pillow-top mattress. Rooms have no television or telephone, encouraging relaxation, but WiFi is provided for communication. The private bathroom includes a bath and free toiletries, with Dr. Teal's eucalyptus and spearmint bath soak offered in some rooms.
Amenities
The property features a flowering garden courtyard with outdoor seating, a picnic area, and a wildflower garden where morning coffee is served. Two golden retrievers and a resident African gray parrot roam the garden and dining area, and the lodge is pet-friendly for guests traveling with dogs. Free private parking is available, and the lodge has facilities for disabled guests.
Location
Laughing Horse Lodge is located on Highway 83 in Bigfork, 67 km from Glacier Park International Airport and close to Glacier National Park in the Swan Valley. The property is a 25-minute drive from south Kalispell, offering access to hiking trails and outdoor recreation. The lodge's setting in the Swan Valley provides a quiet retreat with little cell signal but dependable WiFi.
Entertainment
Dinner at the lodge features live music on select nights, including Gypsy Jazz and blues groups, performed in the garden courtyard. The resident African gray parrot greets guests with "good morning" during breakfast, adding a whimsical touch. The garden is visited by birds and chipmunks, and the two golden retrievers wander among diners, accepting scratches but not begging.

“Kathleen has curated a truly special destination, where evenings unfurl with exceptional, garden-served dinners accompanied by live music, and mornings begin with coffee amidst wildflowers before a custom omelet. The thoughtful details, from the welcoming golden retrievers to the cozy, wood-paneled rooms, create an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply personal, making it a standout stop.”
