As a local that lives very close to the Lodge at Whitefish Lake, I spend a good amount of time at The Boat Club and Tiki Bar on-site. Most of the time, I can be found at The Boat Club, either in the bar area or out on the patio deck in the warmer months. Spending an evening chatting with Chappy at the bar or sitting by the fire watching a sporting event in the top-notch rustic lodge surroundings is about as good as it gets in Whitefish. In the winter, it's a great spot to put your frozen feet up by the fire and have a hot toddy and in the summer, the upper level patio is perfect to watch a sunset from. If you want to eat a great meal, celebrate a special occassion, just relax and mingle with friends, or meet new friends, I would strongly recommend The Boat Club. The views and atmosphere are the best to be experineced down in the valley. For people that like to go on island vacations, The Tiki Bar down near the pool and the boat docks, is very reminiscent of being at a poolside or ocean-front bar in Hawaii. When the weather is nice, having cocktails and a great grill-cooked meal by the water here is absolutely the best!
