Description

An extraordinary, once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a legendary piece of Montana heritage, the iconic Izaak Walton Inn. Established in 1939 as a historic Great Northern Railway lodge, this storied property has long been a destination for travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, and railway aficionados from around the world. The historic rail lodge commands nearly 90 breathtaking acres just outside Glacier National Park, ideally positioned between the park’s coveted East and West entrances and along the famed Empire Builder rail corridor. This offering is more than just the Lodge itself—it includes over 70 guest rooms comprised of the hotel, cabins, authentically restored vintage rail cars converted into guest suites, private cottages, a secondary off-site hotel, and additional vacant land with future potential. This turnkey resort, with extensive mechanical and infrastructure upgrades completed in recent years, delivers an immersive destination experience unlike any other in the region. Guests are drawn to its renowned on-site restaurant and bar, along with a highly sought-after enclosed outdoor pavilion ideal for luxury destination weddings, corporate retreats, and signature events. The Inn has built a national reputation as a premier winter destination for cross-country skiing, offering miles of groomed and private trails for world-class skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking right out the door. In summer, visitors enjoy hiking, wildlife viewing, and easy access to Glacier National Park. Operating year-round, the property includes valuable staff housing, distinctive themed railway lodging, and a charming pedestrian footbridge connecting the lodge across the historic BNSF rail line. The Inn is also widely celebrated among rail enthusiasts (“railfans”) for its unparalleled front-row views of passing trains along one of the most scenic rail routes in North America. It is a place where guests intentionally unplug and unwind in one of Montana’s most breathtaking alpine settings—an authentic lodge experience that blends historic character with modern upgrades. Sale includes all on-site inventory and FF&E, the liquor license, vehicles, operational equipment, and recreational supplies such as cross-country ski gear and e-bikes, along with multiple staff and residential housing configurations—delivering a comprehensive, income-producing legacy investment. Property to be sold as-is. Recent renovations include the rooms, gift shop, kitchen, bar, restaurant, updated boilers, heaters in the pavilion, heaters in the schoolhouse, heat pumps, kitchen equipment, and more on file.
