About this property

Star Lodge Tipi's at Stepping Stone

Facing the Swan Mountains on 20 beautiful rolling acres are three tipi's available for overnight stays for those looking for a more "down to earth experience". Enjoy the night skies and experience the wonder of being/sleeping in an ancient conical structure. This tipi has a Queen size bed and is the most private, but of course a little further from the facilities. Restroom is in Glass blowing studio. New this summer a solar powered outdoor shower!
Stop by Proctor Studios To see the latest works in glass & metal.
DIRECTIONS
Once turning off of Hwy 35 at the Saint John Paul Catholic Church, it is the 3rd Driveway on your left, immediately after the Rising Mountain assisted Living. It is 0.2 of a mile from hwy 35.Siri & goggle maps takes you to far down Coverdell Rd.
*** If you are squeamish about insects....expect a Hotel style restroom.., or experiencing varied weather conditions this destination is probably NOT for you!!

We had a fantastic stay. The tipi was relaxing and cozy, and the setting is beautiful. They’re surprisingly roomy and we had more than enough room to move around and store our stuff. The host Lee was very responsive and accommodating. We can’t recommend this stay enough.

Listing Misleading
We were supposed to stay 4 nights and left after the first. Weeds to your knees to tipi and shower-no water and weeds in there were to your waistline. When we first got there Lee hassled us about our equipment we were bringing in -camp stove and lots of gear since we were traveling for 14 days. Said we should of asked about cooking options before hand. No cooking or coffee making allowed. The grasshoppers were a super nuisance. We left the next morning, Lee never contacted us again since the first night stay at arrival.

Loved the Tipi!
We loved to be able to experience living in a Tipi, waking up in the morning was very calm and relaxing hearing the birds chirp in the morning. Provided everything that we needed. The shower is solar powered, so don’t take a shower in the morning like I did haha.

Husband initially booked two nights in one of the teepees, but that was a bit too rustic for me. When we explained the situation to Lee, he immediately had us stay in his guest room, which was a lovely accommodation. The following night he had us move to the guest house, which was even more lovely and contained everything we needed to be super comfortable. Lee was nice enough to give us a tour of his studio and workshop and showed us the incredible project he’s currently working on. Overall, it was a lovely experience and we’ll definitely be back with our children for a second visit to Glacier National Park. Couldn’t end this review without mentioning his cute cat who greeted us warmly as soon as we arrived.

We never actually made it to the camp out due to car troubles and forest fires closing the highway. Preparation and communication with the host was very good and the location is fantastic.

Tipi stay for local outdoor adventure
The tipis were a perfect fit for our adventure up into the nearby Jewel Basin recreation area. We wanted simple, inexpensive, camping-like accommodations but did not want to sleep on the ground. Added bonus to the setting and tipis was the beautiful glass and metal sculptures and studio.

Memorable destination rental
Second time at the tipis and just as great as the first. The tipis are clean and big. So peaceful and quiet with a beautiful view of mountains. Star gazing outside and inside of the tipi is a must. The bathroom is a very short walk from all tipis, clean and there is an outdoor shower. It is not “glamping” but rather a tranquil experience in the majestic outdoors of Montana. So close to breweries, eateries and 35 minute drive to GNP west enterence. Lee is a great host. I can’t wait to come back with friends and family next season to show them a unique and beautiful experience in the great outdoors of Montana.

Tipis great... bathroom facilities not so
The tipi experience was awesome. Bathroom facilities could have been cleaner... just because one chooses to sleep in a tipi does not mean they should endure less than clean restroom facilities

Unique glamping experience
My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tipi experience! I took him here as a surprise and he thought it was awesome. We stayed up late and were able to watch the stars while drinking a bottle of wine. It was a great evening for us. The inside of tipi looked as photos. Note that the floor is grass and there are going to be bugs as there would be camping, but this way you get a comfy bed and a cool experience. Charge your phones before or in car. I suggest to bring a flashlight or lantern as well since it does get so dark at night. The owner was wonderful and kind.
