About Primal Collection

Eagles Nest Lodge
Sleeps 14Eagle Nest Lodge is a large log lodge. It has 7 bedrooms, two beds per room, with private bath. Our maximum number of guests is 14. Robes and blow dryers are provided. The large, screened porch, complete with log furniture and an old-time swing, provides a quiet evening retreat where guests can unwind from the aggravations of the "real world." Eagle Nest has always presented an atmosphere that encourages relaxation and camaraderie. Relax in the hot tub after a day on the water and enjoy our beautiful Big Sky Country. Dining at Eagle Nest has always been a prominent element of every guest's stay. Our dining room is a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere that fosters an air of fellowship among people who share common interests. Our most commonly asked question from returning guests is: "Is your chef still there?" “Yes, Sherri our chef has been with us since June of 2002. Need we say more? The food is incredible!” Every morning is started with a made-to-order breakfast including eggs Benedict, pancakes, eggs, oatmeal, well, you get the idea. Lunch is served in the field. Returning to the lodge for the evening cocktail, you'll enjoy appetizers among friends, followed by an amazing dinner of rack of lamb, beef tenderloin, salmon—always followed by a homemade dessert. Sherri's creme brûlée is one of the best you'll ever have. Alcohol is not provided as we are on a dry Indian Reservation, however you are welcome to bring your own!
