Orofino translates to "fine gold". Our hope is that you may unearth your own unexpected discoveries during your stay with us. Allow the Montana mountains to work their magic as you tap into your creativity, enjoy closer-than-ever connections with the people you love, and immerse yourself in a friendly and welcoming community of Helena. With its legacy of hard-won riches and unimaginable luck, you, too, may feel that you’ve struck gold. It’s time to retreat to Orofino Lodge.
The space
The natural rhythm of the surrounding wilderness invites you to slow down, be present, and set aside to-do lists. After a few days of following your curiosity, listening to the wind sift through the pine boughs, and gazing up at the night sky, you’ll emerge feeling refreshed and renewed. Welcome to the land of the original outlaws, where last chances count and dreams come true.

This curated space was inspired by the beauty of its surroundings and lends itself to a spirit of rejuvenation, exploration, and discovery. The lines between a bountiful encounter with nature and desirable accommodations are blurred as the lodge is nestled in the Helena National Forest, less than five miles from the heart of historic downtown Helena. Guests are surrounded by 15 acres of tall pines and welcoming trails – perfect for a quiet day of rest or a spontaneous adventure right outside the front door.

Custom-built to suit the needs of many diverse groups, the lodge comfortably hosts up to 8 guests. Each bedroom includes an attached bathroom. Families will strike a perfect balance as kids play games or build their latest lego masterpiece in the playroom or settle into their bed for the night in the spacious and whimsical kid's room. Everyone wins when each age group has their own zone to do their thing.

The kitchen is fully equipped with chef-approved stainless steel appliances and ample counter space for prepping and creating masterful dishes to enjoy at a beautifully hand-crafted, locally commissioned dining room table. Sharing a meal in this space feels truly special.

The great room is arranged with careful consideration and style that is both comfortable and luxurious. A stone Tulikivi fireplace provides both cozy warmth and the chance to bake a fresh, handmade, wood-fired pizza after a day of adventuring.
