There's a certain kind of magic that happens in Whitefish.
It's in the alpine glow brushing across Big Mountain. It's in the steam curling up from a post-ski soak in the outdoor hot tub. And it's in the easy, familiar feeling of walking through the timber-framed doors at Grouse Mountain Lodge, whether you’re arriving from out of town or just down the street.
Since 1984, this year-round lodge has been part of that rhythm — a trusted space for celebrations, community dinners, weddings, and winter retreats. And now, it’s about to grow in a bold new way, one that builds on the community roots and brings new energy to Whitefish’s year-round story.
In the fall of 2026, Pursuit will be introducing the next chapter in Grouse Mountain Lodge’s evolution: a new 8,250-square-foot wedding and event pavilion, a purpose-built space that blends Montana’s natural beauty with elevated hospitality and design. It’s the first step in a larger vision for the future of this Whitefish icon.
Be among the first to celebrate your big day or special event in Montana’s newest and most stunning event pavilion — reservations for October 2026 and beyond are open!
Set against the stunning peaks and pines of northwest Montana, the new pavilion is designed for every kind of gathering. From intimate ceremonies to large-scale celebrations, this space blends mountain charm and an elevated hospitality experience to create unforgettable moments year-round.
From design details to behind-the-scenes logistics, every part of the pavilion experience is crafted for ease and connection — making event planning seamless, whether you’re hosting a destination wedding, leading a retreat, or celebrating with your local community.
Reservations for October 2026 and beyond are open. Reserve your special day by completing the online form below.
The new pavilion is expected to open in fall 2026. In the meantime, Grouse Mountain Lodge will remain fully open and operational, welcoming guests for ski weekends, summer hikes, cozy dinners at Logan’s, and everything in between.
This isn’t a departure from the lodge you know and love. It’s an evolution! One that keeps community at the heart and creates even more space for meaningful moments.
And while the pavilion is just the beginning, there’s much more to come.
