Blending Refined Luxury and Personalized Tranquility.
Where Warmth Welcomes and Guests Depart as Family
Welcome to Coyote Bluff Estate, an exclusive adults-only retreat designed for unparalleled romance in the heart of the Flathead Valley. Perched on 30 private acres just 40 minutes from Glacier National Park, our home offers year-round, breathtaking views of Flathead Lake, the Mission Mountains, and the valley below. Immerse yourself in true opulence: private outdoor seating areas, a complimentary in-room wine, whiskey, and scotch bar, an evening wine reception, in-room coffee service and snacks, an outdoor fire pit, and sumptuous suites with expansive decks and personal hot tubs.
Since acquiring this landmark residence in 2014, we've welcomed guests from around the world to a 10,000-square-foot custom-designed lodge showcasing over 17 wood species and timeless rustic elegance. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a basecamp for exploring Glacier National Park, or simply an elegant alternative to traditional lodging, Coyote Bluff Estate offers the comfort and privacy of a distinguished private home.
But what our guests remember most isn't the architecture — it's how they're cared for. From the moment you arrive, every detail is anticipated, and our personalized service is designed to make your stay effortless and unforgettable. Most guests arrive as visitors and leave as family. We'd be honored to welcome you home.
Warm regards,
Eric & Rita Bahme
