Elk Lake Resort - A Montana Resort Restaurant

"Country Gourmet" Cooking Reigns Supreme at Our Western Montana Lodge

Elk Lake Resort combines a unique natural setting with fine dining - country gourmet cooking unrivaled anywhere else in southwestern Montana.

Even in Montana there are often two extremes in a fine dining experience. You have 'gourmet' cooking - a plate scantily clothed which, after dining, leaves you wondering what you ate. The other extreme is plain and bland, tasting like it came out of a box. At our southwestern Montana Lodge we believe you deserve a fine dining experience which compliments our unique location. Thus we specialize in country gourmet cooking. Many remote locations offer only family-style meals which, while hearty, are nothing to 'write home about'. At our Montana Lodge you will enjoy a broad selection of freshly prepared food, lightly seasoned and prepared to your specifications!

Imagine a choice steak, fresh seafood, or chicken grilled over an open flame. Add a family atmosphere where friends gather to relax, visit, and enjoy their food. Throw in a unique location with a view 'to die for.' Now you've got our southwestern Montana Lodge's recipe for a dining experience to remember. So, join us for some fine dining - Elk Lake style. At Elk Lake Resort we don't just cook - we make memories!

In addition to a unique location and quality food prepared fresh daily, our western Montana Lodge maintains a list of select wines to complement your meal. When you come in from a wonderful day of adventure, you'll find we've been cooking up a country gourmet meal to delight your palate. Just ask our guests. You will learn the dining experience at Elk Lake Resort is the best around. Learn more about Elk Lake Resort's country gourmet meals.

"Such a wonderful weekend we spent at Elk Lake Lodge. Words cannot express what a great time we had. Everything so neat and clean, the warm hospitality, the beautiful setting. I guess I could go on and on. Oh yes, the bed. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Wish I had one like it at home. Thank you all for a dinner that could not be matched. I'm hoping that we'll see you again next summer - to do this again and perhaps spend a more lengthy stay at Elk Lake Lodge.
