    JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED

    October 29, 2012

    About 45 minutes from Glacier Park, Good Medicine Lodge is a wonderful place to use as headquarters for the area. Made to be a B&B all areas are perfect to either enjoy privacy or chat with other guests. Betsy's culinary expertise are only out done by Woody's easy personality and knowledge of the area. Beds are great and a wonderful nights sleep is easily attainable. Downtown Whitefish is about 1/2 mile away with nunmerous restaurants.

    July 16, 2012

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay at Good Medicine Lodge. Betsy and Woody went above and beyond our expectations in every aspect. The food was incredible. From the endless supply of freshly baked cookies, superb hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and gourmet breakfasts. We enjoyed the freedom to choose among three different breakfast entrees each day. The lodge was outstanding for its beauty and comfort. There is a great deck with a fire ring, hot tub, and exquisite herb and flower garden. We were very close to all the best of Whitefish including dining, shopping, lake and mountain access. Betsy and Woody were gracious hosts with a keen sense of how to cater to their guests needs. They really go the extra mile. We are already planning a return trip to this wonderful B&B. Many rooms have their own decks with views of beautiful gardens and Big Mountain. From our deck we watched humming birds in the morning and the Big Sky sunset in the evening.

    Amazing Week at Good Medicine Lodge

    October 31, 2011

    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

    Great friendly place disappointing breakfast!

    September 25, 2011

    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!

    July 12, 2011

    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.
