Compliments of Charles M. Russell, the Bull Head Lodge offers an opportunity just as legendary. Hidden within Glacier National Park and offering extremely rare Lake McDonald waterfront access, this storied inholding is a place of deep cultural and artistic significance. For over two decades, Charlie Russell found refuge and inspiration here, creating some of his most iconic works.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Bull Head Lodge is a living museum etched with mountains of mementos from Russell’s life including a stone hearth carved with his own hand. The Bull Head Lodge is a national treasure, a legacy of the West, and a call to those who value heritage, preservation, and wild beauty.
