Spruce Lodge offers excellent on-site accommodations, that include full breakfasts & dinners (bag lunches optional).  

Each room comfortably accommodates guests in extra long twin beds. Each room has two twin singles and a twin bunk.  The twin beds can be converted into a king size bed.  11 of the rooms have an added futon.  Linens are provided, however there is no maid service.  You will find your beds made and towels in the bathrooms (extra towels are available).  All the rooms have private bathrooms.

Other amenities include a coin operated laundry ($1 per load, soap included), vending machines, a common full-size refrigerator and a game room.  Broadband internet connections are available in most rooms of the Lodge, as well as Wireless Internet throughout the building.

Spruce Lodge has a large deck and patio that face the lake and mountain ranges.

Everything is handicap accessible.  There is a handicap elevator and some handicap lodging rooms (with handicap accessible bathrooms) are available, upon request.

If you are arriving alone, but would prefer to save money by having a roommate:  
On the Shopping Cart button, please choose "Single, but prefer roommate."  We will then notify you when and if we find another workshopper that would also like a roommate—at which time we would request your permission to put you together.

If you are arriving or meeting with another workshopper(s) and you would like to be roommates:
On the Shopping Cart button, please choose "Double Occupancy" (or Triple or Quad) and indicate in the Shopping Cart's "Comment Box" (appears after you enter your address) the name of the individual(s) that you would like to be roommates with.

You are, of course, welcome to arrive with a non-workshopper friend(s) or spouse.  They would also be included in the breakfast/dinner meal package.  While they would not be permitted to observe and attend the workshop, itself, they are more than welcome to enjoy the facility and grounds of the Spruce Lodge.  Naturally, we also encourage everyone to take advantage of the many activities and things to see in Montana's "Glacier Country."

If you are departing the area on Saturday—after the workshop—we recommend that you spend Friday night in Kalispell (closer to the airport or train depot).  Our group is not able to stay at Spruce Lodge on Friday night, as they will be welcoming their weekend guests.  After our Farewell Reception (5pm to 9pm Friday evening) at Gary's home/studio (which is on the way to Kalispell), we recommend that you book your Friday night lodging at Hilton Garden Inn (free airport shuttle) or the historic Grand Hotel.  Of course, there are many other hotels available in Kalispell, as well.

Here are some words written about Spruce Lodge and its staff:

“Your facility is gorgeous, your staff outstanding and the food was great. We wish you lived closer so we could visit again.”

“Thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality. 
Your staff was fantastic and fun to be around! What a great way to spend a week.”

“Thank you so much for your labor of love in all that you did for our ..... conference.”

“Our Quilt retreats at Glacier Camp are just like a big slumber party with you and Lori being the ‘house parents.’ Slowing down time is the only thing I would change. We are looking forward to our next retreat…”

“What a wonderful place to have a wedding. Thank you for supplying the setting for a lifetime of memories,”

"We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our time....."

"Thank you so much for all of the help that you gave us to make our wedding day perfect. Your staff and your commitment to serving is incredible. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without your help. The food was incredible and the whole atmosphere was so beautiful and relaxing. We will definitely recommend you to everybody we know..." 

"Our group has never experienced this level of hospitality....."

We highly recommend that you stay at Spruce Lodge.  Not only is it the best lodging/meal value, but you will enjoy the experience of staying in this beautiful setting.  Spruce Lodge is typically used for weddings, retreats and workshops, such as ours.

But, they do only have 13 rooms, so book early!

The next closest accommodations are in Somers (10 miles) and Kalispell (18 miles).
