"We originally had an Airbnb booked, but our elopement photographers were staying here and insisted we do our first look at the lodge — and wow, we’re so glad they did! It looked like something straight out of a Hallmark movie. We ended up canceling our Airbnb that same night and booking a room here instead!

The fireplace was so cozy, and the little bar inside made for such fun nightcaps. The staff was incredibly accommodating — they took us in with no notice, replaced a hair dryer right away when it broke, and were so kind about letting us take photos around the property. We’ll definitely be back in Montana again, and when we are, we’re absolutely staying here!" ❤️🏔️

"My husband and I stayed one night on a trip up to Glacier. Room comfortable and lodge was mountain charming. Dinner was the best food we had in Montana. A one night stay was perfect -as you are isolated up on the ski hill with not a lot to do during summer."

"We just got home from 5 days at Kandahar Lodge in Whitefish, Montana. The outside of the lodge is beautiful! I was so impressed by the summer landscaping! The inside was homey and inviting. Although we were there in the summer when the temperatures were mild, I felt like in the winter it would feel so cozy and like a winter escape during the snow season. They had games and a fireplace downstairs to enjoy during your down time. When I approached the front desk on day 2, Kelly was cheerful and so happy to help our family find activities at the park while avoiding the aweful parking situation at Glacier. She was wonderful! ❤️ In the evening, my husband and I enjoyed a drink (s) at the speak easy bar. TJ , the bartender, was so fun and entertaining! He made our evenings relaxed and we learned so much from his time in Montana. I would highly recommend this for your next stay in Whitefish! This Texan felt right at home in this sleepy lodge in Montana! If only I could teleport back there and avoid the airports! Much ❤️! Oh and a shout out to Megan and the chef at Buchanan's! Delish Caesar salad with Ahi Tuna!! Yum!"

"From the moment we arrived at the Kandahar Lodge at Whitefish Mountain, we knew we were in for something special. Tucked in the heart of one of the most breathtaking areas in Montana, this lodge seamlessly blends comfort, luxury, and genuine hospitality, creating an unforgettable experience. Kandahar Lodge is the epitome of mountain luxury. The European-inspired breakfast, cleanliness of the hot tub, thoughtful customer service, and the charm of Whitefish made our stay unforgettable. Kelly’s expert advice added that extra layer of magic, making our trip truly top-tier. If you’re looking for a getaway that combines outdoor adventure with exceptional service and a strong sense of community, the Kandahar Lodge is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!"

"The lodge and grounds look so cozy, and I did walk around the lower level to see the decorated lobby and a nice breakfast area, but I basically was there for the amazing Buchanan's restaurant with both inside and outside seating. Many wonderful food choices, some of which were something I never had before, like the lamb shank and root vegetables in a designated sauce. It was exquisite and such a generous portion that I was unable to eat it all and the balsamic mushrooms were to die for. Wines, beer and cocktails were available including virgin cocktails."

"Gorgeous location and the rooms are so comfortable. My family of six booked two, adjoining rooms and cooked dinner in the well equipped mini kitchen. The lobby and main floor lounge area are beautiful, a quintessential mountain lodge with an extravagant feel."

"Cozy, welcoming atmosphere for a ski-in (to the back of building), ski-out (either a short walk across road to trail at edge of parking lot or take lodge's shuttle to chairs 1 & 2) vacation. Large, comfortable living room-like gathering space with stone wood-burning fireplace. We've stayed twice and rooms were very quiet, good sleeping. Firm, comfortable beds with warm enough covers--you won't get cold unless you want to. Clean spaces throughout the lodge and rooms. Variety of choices for continental breakfast - hard boiled eggs, meats and cheeses, yogurt, fruit, instant oatmeal, toast and bagels with spreads, good hot coffee or tea all day. Onsite bar serves limited menu from the extraordinary Café Kandahar kitchen, also onsite. Eating at Café Kandahar is an extraordinary experience. Free snow bus to and from downtown is a short walk (5 or less minutes) up the hill to the village area; drop-off on return at stop sign in front of lodge. We'll stay again."

"We had a very good family stay at the resort in Whitefish, MT! The rooms were exceptionally accommodating and very comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. The location of the resort is perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to the charming town of Whitefish. We loved being able to explore the local shops and restaurants just a short distance away. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a memorable stay."

"This was such a fun and lovely lodge. Nice lobby to hang out in, great spread for breakfast, plus hot tub and steam room. We were only passing through on this trip, but would love to come back and stay longer than one night. Rooms are comfortable and appointed with quality bedding, and loved having a suite room with 3 queen beds. Plus, everyone we met were so nice and welcoming. Definitely need to check this place out."

"Kandahar is so fun!! Our family of 5 visited for a few days in summer. An easy walk to the chair lift took us to the summit (a 2000+ feet elevation climb) in 8 minutes. At the summit we were welcomed with 4 feet of snow to play in at 39° even though as we boarded chair lift it was 74°!!! The continental breakfast is an understatement. You will have so many choices: hard boiled eggs, endless meat and cheese tray, many fresh fruits, pastries, muffins, cereals, juices, coffees, oatmeal, even a conveyor type toaster! There was a crackling fire in the adjacent great room at most times during our stay. The well-stocked bar and bartender were perfect for evening wind down and hanging out. A well-appointed gym and very large hot tub are nice amenities as well. Visit and tell Nita at the front desk hey!!"

"Staff is so friendly and accommodating!! We stayed during off season, but they knew our name when we walked in and made check in so easy after two days of traveling. COMFIEST BEDS I'VE EVER SLEPT IN AT A HOTEL!! We will stay there again."

"This place was absolutely wonderful! We would definitely come back. It's decorated beautifully, the breakfast was great, the staff was helpful and friendly. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!!"

"The Kandahar Lodge is everything you need and nothing you don't. Friendly staff, clean rooms, in and out skiing and the food is absolutely spectacular - the best restaurant in Whitefish. The bread pudding is not to be missed. Great for families or multiple families staying together."

"This was our second stay at the Kandahar Lodge, and we are likely to book there whenever we go to Whitefish. The staff is amazing and the rooms are comfortable. The grounds are also well-kept and beautiful. Great, family-friendly place to stay - close to Whitefish, close enough to Glacier National Park, and within walking distance of the village."

"This is the quintessential ski lodge, located mid mountain with a large gathering area and a fireplace that is always going in winter. The rooms are large and well equipped. They care for the environment by having dispensers in the shower instead of the small individual bottles. The buffet breakfast is great, with hard boiled eggs and meats and cheeses, as well as cereals. Free cookies and hot chocolate with marshmallows greet the guests in the afternoon. This was the third year that my ski club has stayed here, and we will definitely come again!"

"The Kandahar Lodge is an awesome place; away from Whitefish yet only a 10 minutes drive should you need anything and 20 minutes to the park. It's a five-minute walk to the village and the cable cars. Aside from the great location, the staff is really helpful and polite. McKenzie at the 'Snug Bar' is awesome. We did not try the 'fine dine' option as we did not feel like having a four course-meal after a day of activities; that said the bar had a number of small and large plate options which were awesome (try the crawfish), whiskey sour and the huckleberry lemonade. The lodge has a very warm and friendly ambience, and we will definitely return for the snow season."

"We loved this place! It was a clean, cozy, comfortable room. The decor is so pretty. It almost has a Bed and Breakfast feel. We loved the continental breakfast. The staff was terrific in offering maps and helping us navigate Glacier National Park. It’s such a great location near restaurants, bike paths, trails, the lake. Loved it!"

"One of the friendliest pleasant places I’ve ever stayed. I’ve skied at many resorts and Whitefish truly stole my heart. The lodge has a lovely continental breakfast to start your day. Then you end your ski day with fresh popped popcorn and hot chocolate in the lobby! They also have a lovely small bar in the lobby with delicious drinks to try while sitting next to the crackling fireplace. The beds are very comfortable and most rooms have a full kitchen! You can ski right back to the lodge and they have a boot and ski room to leave your things instead of trekking through the lobby full of snow! I would suggest Kandahar to any person I know heading to Whitefish. As a whole the entire Mountain area was sensational!"

"We loved everything about this hotel. The rooms were perfect, clean and they offered great amenities. The Wellness Center consists of a steam room, HUGE fitness center and a beautiful outdoor hot tub. They were very accommodating to our check-in requests."
