Double Arrow Resort
We visited family and went to the Double Arrow lodge for dinner. I highly reccomend it the food was great and the lodge so welcoming with a big stone fire place. Going back for the sleigh ride, real soon.
A Seeley-Swan Valley Rally
When it gets cold, time freezes in the Seeley-Swan Valley. At least, that’s how it feels when you cozy into the vintage Double Arrow Lodge or the long-established Rich Ranch. From their timbered comfort, you can trade in your telephone and TV for sleigh rides, ice-fishing excursions (just pick a lake—there’s 8 big ones) and endless snowmobile adventures—all powered by time-honored eateries like Littlebird’s Schoolhouse in Seeley Lake and Trixie’s in Ovando.
Another thing happens when it gets cold here—celebration. In late January, the town throws Winterfest, with a chili cook-off, dessert festival, ice-sculpture contest, snowmobile poker run, bonfires, cocoa and more. In February, huskies stoke their dreams of the Iditarod at the Race to the Sky qualifier. For the rest of the winter, the party is simply in the partaking—finding hidden backcountry stashes and cozy yurt digs with Yurtski, marveling at frozen Morrell Falls aboard a snowmobile and cross-country skiing up the mystical North Fork of Lost Creek.
Hungry Bear Steakhouse
Has really good food and the best cheese soup anywhere. Also its between the mission mountains and swan range with some of the best views around.
Littlebird's School House Restaurant
The owner hosts the town's Farmer's Market in the summer and grows fresh produce on the back lawn of the cafe. She features fresh, locally-produced ingredients in her signature homemade dishes. She supports local businesses. Food is amazing.
