Montana’s Izaak Walton Inn For Sale

The Izaak Walton Inn, a historic railroad lodge at the edge of Glacier National Park in Montana, has been listed for $18 million. The sale comes just two weeks after it closed due to financial troubles.

The lodge is situated along BNSF Railway’s former Great Northern Railway main line through northwest Montana and has long been a favorite among railroad enthusiasts. The GN partnered with the Addison Miller Company to build the hotel in 1939 to accommodate the crews needed to keep its main line over Marias Pass open during winter. In recent years, the mountain hamlet has become a popular spot for cross-country skiers, although the railroad still housed crews at the inn to support winter operations. Along with the historic hotel, several cabooses and an EMD F45 have been converted into cabins on the grounds. Amtrak’s Empire Builder also stops near the inn.

LOGE Camps bought the inn in 2022, and it underwent a major renovation before reopening in late 2024. But earlier this year, it was revealed that LOGE Camps was experiencing “significant” financial issues and shuttering all of its operations, including the Izaak Walton. The inn and the almost 90 acres it sits on have been described as a “turnkey resort” to potential buyers.
