290 Izaak Walton Inn Road, Essex, MT 59916

The iconic Izaak Walton Inn, a historic Great Northern Railway lodge established in 1939, presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Montana heritage. Situated on nearly 90 acres just outside Glacier National Park, between the park's East and West entrances and along the Empire Builder rail corridor, the property includes over 70 guest rooms. These rooms are distributed among the hotel, cabins, vintage rail cars converted into guest suites, private cottages, and a secondary off-site hotel, with additional vacant land offering future potential. The turnkey resort features a restaurant and bar, along with an enclosed outdoor pavilion suitable for weddings, corporate retreats, and events. The Inn is known as a winter destination for cross-country skiing, with groomed trails for skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking. In summer, visitors can enjoy hiking, wildlife viewing, and access to Glacier National Park. Operating year-round, the property includes staff housing, themed railway lodging, and a pedestrian footbridge across the BNSF rail line. The Inn is also known among rail enthusiasts for its views of passing trains. The sale includes on-site inventory and FF&E, the liquor license, vehicles, operational equipment, recreational supplies, and multiple staff and residential housing configurations. Recent renovations include the rooms, gift shop, kitchen, bar, restaurant, updated boilers and heaters, heat pumps, and kitchen equipment. The property is to be sold as-is.
