    The hospitality, food, room and atmosphere at Good Medicine Lodge was truly extraordinary. Woody and Betsy were very gracious hosts and made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family and will return for another stay when I am in Whitefish again.

    We were at the lodge in Oct and found it to be delightful. The gormet breakfasts were a treat. We stayed a week and looked forward to the wonderful breakfasts everyday. Betsy and Woody are so friendly and loved our visits in the great room with a glass of wind and snacks. They saw to our every need. The view from the great room was very nice, even seeing deer grazing there. This was our first trip to Montana and Whitefish is such a quaint town and all of the wonderful places to eat. We would like to return someday to the relaxing atmosphere and wonderful hospitality. Thanks for an amazing stay. Eldon & Polly, San Antonio, Tx

    The hosts are welcoming and helpful. The inn is beautifully decorated. We had a problem waiting for hot water, but they explained about that. For the price and since it is a bed AND breakfast, we anticipated a wonderful breakfasts. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The first morning, we were served a tough pancake topped with a trout cake and A poached egg. There was also one muffin that was bland and dry. I had hopes for the next morning that were dashed when cantaloupe was brought in garnished with paper thin bacon? There was a crustless quiche that was undercooked, and so salty, with a coffee cake that was fine. There is dry cereal available which is a smart choice. The cookies are great! I have stayed at quite a few B & B's and the food has ranged from fine to great. A bed and breakfast should have 2 things. Great bed and great breakfast. Only half is 50% which is failing to most. Hopefully the food will be brought up to par with the rooms. I would then give it thumbs up!

    A Great Dose of Good Medicine!

    My husband and I recently stayed at the Good Medicine Lodge during our trip to Glacier National Park. Woody and Betsy were wonderful hosts and gave great advice on what to do during our visit. Our room was very welcoming and comfortable. The lodge is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting out back around the hot tub and enjoying the company of other guests. Breakfast was delicious. Definitely recommend staying with Woody and Betsy at their beautiful lodge.

    Great B&B!
