Pure bliss. Great way to spend an evening with a cocktail by the fire enjoying the majestic view! Went for dinner at the restaurant and had great service from Herb and an amazing cocktail from Jen. We'll definitely be bringing friends here. read more

Sage Lodge was, without a doubt, one of the top resorts I have ever stayed at. Not only are the lodge and surrounding areas absolutely breathtaking, the staff was friendly and accommodating! Dusty made my husband and me feel at home with each meal in The Fireside Room and Blake, the bartender, was easy to talk to and helpful! We will 100% return to Sage Lodge and would recommend this hotel to anyone who asked! read more

Don't understand customer service. Over the holidays we had a reservation for ten at 6:00 and at five they called us and informed us our reservations was cancelled. When pressed they said the owner showed up and didn't want anyone else in the dining room. You would think it should be the other way around. Great markting Tried it one more time and nothing changed. Slow disinterested service. Ordered a RARE burger and even spelled it out and yes as you can imagine it came out well done. The waitress missed all the side orders also. So I'm done-no more chances. read more

I just had the pleasure of experiencing the "Bison Bolognese"...one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. It was visually beautiful with well balanced flavors and worth every penny! Many thanks to the great Chef and crew at the Fireside Room at Sage Lodge in Pray Montana. read more

Hopefully this is just growing pains, beautiful location and facilities, however,beware, Starting with the reservation mix up, which was resolved by the manager,,, then there's the acoustics it was so loud you couldn't hear your parties conversation,the menu at Grill which is overpriced and difficult to understand as it did describe the dish well... very confusing,,, food itself deserves a 4 although salad was warm and main dish was not hot,,,, After dinner we walked to the fireside, their description is "family restaurant " personally I liked the menu better, we walked outside to enjoy the view and sit by the fire pit, we ordered drinks, there were 8 of us, 30 minutes later we went to check on the drinks,,,,?? The bartender said he didn't have the order..... we left,, didn't need another drink anyway and did get to enjoy the beautiful view and perfect evening weather read more

We just returned from Sage Lodge after a weekend wedding. The facility is beautiful with amazing views from every window in the guest rooms and common areas. The room was comfortable and the fireplace was a nice bonus. The room was a little smaller than expected, and because there were three of us, they put out the pull-out bed on our arrival. That made the quarters a bit tight. The staff was exceptionally friendly and answered all of our questions about the local area. However, I have to say I was very disappointed that there was no housekeeping service provided during our stay. There are signs in the rooms that indicate they would like you to reuse your towels and that bed linens are only changed every three days. I have absolutely no problem with reusing a towel or sleeping on the same sheets for more than one night. But, when you are paying over 800 dollars for a room for two nights, I would certainly expect someone to come in and a) make the bed, b) empty the trash cans, and c) freshen up the bathroom and pick up the towels we are finished with. I have stayed at hotels/motels that cost less than 100 dollars a night and we have been given these basic services. Someone did come to our room on the second day and offer us more towels (without us requesting), but she did not pick up any of the used ones. We had one meal in the restaurant and it was very good and reasonably priced. I also appreciated the snacks and soft drinks and coffee in the lobby all day and night. That was a nice touch. If they up their game as far as housekeeping, I would consider another stay here as the area is beautiful and it is a relatively short distance to the gates of Yellowstone. read more

We were so excited to stay here for a weekend away as a couple. I will start by saying that Sage Lodge is gorgeous! The views alone make it a beautiful place to stay and the rooms are modern and pretty. Unfortunately, the poor customer service, lack of attention to detail and overall experience during and after our time there has left us incredibly disappointed. Management did nothing they promised to remedy our situation or concerns. Here are a few examples of why I can't recommend Sage Lodge: The food and service is lacking, it seems the staff have had little to no training. Any wrong orders/issues were not addressed other than "thanks for the feedback, we are working out our technical difficulties, hopefully before busy season this summer." Our food orders were wrong a couple times, with little done to remedy or make amends. The waitress literally responded to our concern about meat being missing from the breakfast hash we ordered with, "Well he must have lied to me then". So strange to not offer a resolution? This happened quite a few times, with a waitress waiting a full 40 minutes to even get our breakfast ticket in and then apologizing for the delay. To stay at a "high end" lodge like this and have that happen repeatedly with no comps or even a sincere "what can we do?" made us like unwanted guests. The bar inside the lodge had only one person working after breakfast, with drinks only, no snacks available at any time. Their restaurant is only choice for food, but their hours are limited with reservations required unless you sit at the bar in restaurant. Outdoor hot tub is set up with no shelter from the howling wind, and our robes and towels blew into the snow with no place to hang them outside when you get into the hot tub. I will say, the view is great though! The spa was the best atmosphere we found, with a very tranquil setting. My husband loved his hot stone massage, but my massage was painful and unprofessional at best. My intake form had said light pressure, but the manager confirmed what I got was actually a deep tissue massage. When the spa manager checked in with us later that afternoon we did get an apology, but again no offer of a resolution or amends for a poor experience and hundreds of dollars wasted. When we checked in we gave them a credit card and asked that the debit card we called the reservation in on not be charged, they said no problem and had us swipe our credit card, not once, but twice "to be sure they had it on file". Half way through our stay we noticed they'd placed holds for $800 on EACH card! Front desk promised it would drop off at check out, and then again at check out they said it'd be cleared up. I've now called twice after our stay with NO resolution, the second time they forwarded me to voice mail. Both of our cards still pending with now over $800 in charges. Yikes. Huge miss for customer service and hospitality! *Update: A manager did call back and try to remedy it, but the bank wouldn't take the hold off until 4 days after we checked out. For our troubles, he promised he'd refund one night of our stay. A week later, we've followed up to say this refund never happened, no response yet.* My honest recommendation is to stay at Chico and maybe visit here for a hike and happy hour to enjoy the view. (Although the bar does have your back to the view in the lodge, but in the restaurant you will have a view at the bar.) They haven't yet had landscaping done at Sage, so bring boots you don't mind getting muddy and quite dirty on walk ways between spa, hot tubs, restaurant, parking lot, etc! We have an upcoming retreat that we had wanted to book here, but after our stay we confirmed them at Chico as they don't have these kinds of issues or reputation for disappointment. My opinion is that they aren't worth the price for what you get. I am disappointed that we spent about SO much on 2 nights stay, the spa and a few meals and don't feel I can recommend this place to friends or family until they work out all their customer service issues and address how to handle issues that arise with their guests. As of now I don't feel they care one bit and believe the views and beautiful lodge will win them enough accolades. Customer service may not matter to some, but it certainly does for me. Huge disappointment. read more

Our restaurant reservations for our family group of 8 was cancelled less than 3 hours before our reserved time. This was our last night in Montana before we were going back to Europe and we were completely disappointed. After calling back to get a better explanation for the cancellation we were informed that the "owners" of the Lodge were unexpectedly in town and all restaurant reservations were cancelled as a result. We had high expectations for our visit to Sage Lodge and have family in Paradise Valley. We are excited about additional dining options in the area but this approach to customer service is unacceptable. I encourage Sage Lodge to improve, as this type of experience won't warrant a second chance from the people you cancelled and were forced to make other plans. read more

This is literally the best restaurant in Montana. No, I'm not exaggerating. Not only is the food OUSTANDING, the service is impeccable. The staff makes you feel right at home and is attentive to your every need-- even the ones you thought might have been ridiculous. For example, I mentioned I had been craving Mac and cheese for a few weeks and couldn't find any good restaurants around that had it. Well, the staff made me the best Mac and cheese I have had. And it wasn't even on the menu. Fireside room at Sage Lodge is an absolute must if you're in the area. And even if you're not in the area, it's well worth a detour. read more

Amazing staff, lots of activities (fly fishing, boating on the river, horseback riding, etc), good food and within easy driving distance to Yellowstone National Park. A great getaway for a relaxing big sky country experience whether you're looking to relax or be active. read more

We came to the spa at Sage and had lunch in the Fireside grill. The staff were attentive and welcoming. They are still relatively new and working out some kinks (including landscaping). The view was spectacular. read more

What a wonderful experience. The views and activities are absolutely amazing. Jen and Sal were the greatest people that worked with us. They gave fantastic recommendations and engaged in fun conversation with our whole family. They made our stay!!! read more

We stayed here in September and it is Heaven!!!!!! I live in New York so it's a bit of a long trip but if I ever get to go back out that way, this is the only place I would stay. The view is breathtaking, the hotel/lodge is stunning and the staff were incredibly friendly and above-and-beyond helpful. And eating at The Grill was one of the best parts of our trip. The food and the views were amazing. Highly recommend staying here. We also went to the spa, which was great, and after our services hung out at the outdoor hot tub (with a glass of rose) and took in the beautiful mountain views. I wish I could give them ten stars. read more

My husband and I ended the last 2 nights of our week long vacation, celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary in Montana at the Sage Lodge. When we walked into the grand lobby, we weren't expecting the gorgeous view of Emigrant Peak! The staff was so welcoming and friendly! From the front desk, to the gentleman that helped us to our room, the bartender (great drinks), waitstaff, Sam (who helped us book the Freestone Deluxe River Trip & let me wear his rain jacket) and finally our boat guide, Megan...All are great assets to the Sage Lodge. There are special "treats" located throughout the lodge during the day...Coffee, trail mix, iced tea, lemonade, banana chips and trout shaped iced sugar cookies. If you want total relaxation, go to Sage Lodge. read more

Million dollar view of majestic mountains.. drinking coffee in front of a " real wood burning" fireplace..scratching Norman's (the resident yellow lab) ears....that's a Sage Lodge morning ! Delicious breakfast served by Lori in Fireside dining room.. great cocktails /dinner served by Zack. Warmest welcome by Emily.. but you have to encourage her to really " stoke" the fire! Hazel likes belly rubs. Sam did everything great.. helped us catch some trout our last morning..actually afternoon because Vatalii let us stay 2 hours past checkout because we didn't have time to fish our first day because we spent the whole day in Yellowstone! Speaking of Yellowstone ,Lloyd offered me his binoculars because I didn't bring mine..what a lifesaver...and not something most hunters let " strangers" borrow... but that's just it... you are not a stranger at Sage Lodge... every staff member is immediately your friend. Hints to guests: Hazel and Sarah love belly rubs.. Norman appreciates bacon snuck out of the dining room.. he's too polite to come in Fireside. Overall... this is a place ..and people you don't want to leave. My only complaint is that a beautiful lodge in Montana really needs some TAXIDERMY!... just a few rainbows on the walls.. a nice 6x6 on the fireplace... oh and bear rugs or a bison blanket strewn over the sofas would top it off( just me I guess but the lodge is begging for it) Didn't stay long enough to eat at the Grill but checked it out upon leaving... nice space.. cool bar.. view to die for... dry aged steaks on view... we will definitely be back! read more

I wish I loved it more. The property t has a wonderful view of the Yellowstone River from the restaurant. And a wonderful view of Emigrant Peak from the other. That said, the prices are outrageously expensive. The smallest steak is $50 a la carte....most are around $100. We used the Vivino app to compare their wine prices. A representative example of what we found is that a $75 bottle of wine is priced at $335 in the restaurant. While the rooms were booked -- at "demand-based" pricing, the restaurant had only a few tables booked. The service was friendly, but very slow. Our friends confirmed that at the $900 room rate, the only amenities in the bathroom were shampoo and conditioner. There was a long list of complaints from our friends during cocktail hour. One opinion is that things are controlled from Sage Headquarters in Seattle, and they don't understand the "Montana way" or competitive pricing.. read more

Loved everything about this hotel, property and restaurants. Highly recommend it to couples or families. The spa, fly fishing, llamas and marshmallow roasting ALL right there to experience. The view was mind blowing! read more

Sage Lodge - Delicious and flavorful 'plant steak' for dinner at The Grill. Blown away by all the flavors. Loved it!! - Hotels Near Me - Pray, Montana

We just spent a glorious weekend at Sage Lodge in October and it is as good as it gets. The accommodations were really wonderful and the food and beverage service was A+. The amenities were top notch but in my mind it always comes down to the people. The staff at Sage Lodge thought of everything and were so helpful and friendly I felt I had made new friends. I only wish I would have had the time to experience a spa treatment but I guess that will have to wait until next time. Sean and Bernie Griffin read more

So glad we stopped by here for cocktails. The bar/lodge area has a beautiful view of the mountains nestled by a wonderful fireplace. Great spot for apps and cocktails even have a happy hour! Had I known the resort is dog friendly, we would have stayed here. Next time! read more

I booked this hotel based on concept photos and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the result. The small touches were everything - I thought I had a good game collection, this hotel put mine to shame. The snacks every night reminded me of wedding snack bars - but this was a wedding I wanted to stay at forever. Being able to borrow fishing poles and Jeff taking the time to show my fiancée how to fly fish was amazing. Seeing planets out our back door we never see in D.C. was awe inspiring - I even loved that we could see bats outside bc it meant no bugs at all. The restaurant had a killer wine list but even the house sparkly was so good we couldn't resist the bottle. Even the soap provided in the room was the best smelling soap I've ever used. I could move into this hotel and stay for years. The polishes I would have are so minor they aren't worth mentioning on yelp. Book this hotel, you won't be disappointed. read more

See all

Totally ignored at the restaurant. Waited over 30 minutes in a not very busy restaurant, didn't even get spoken to by staff. Have never encountered such horrible service. We finally just left. Would give zero stars. Don't waste your time. UPDATE: The Executive Chef contact us right after this review and has made every effort to make amends. We appreciate his sincere effort and stellar customer service. Raising the one star to 2. I will update if/when we return to Sage Lodge. read more

Truly one of the best places I've stayed at. I've worked in the luxury hotel industry and for such a young property, they operate like a well-oiled machine. I had a few minor issues and the staff was understanding and helpful. Everything was clean, sanitized, beautiful, quiet, everything you want and expect from a luxury lodge. The food was awesome, having so many products from Montana is a wonderful way to get to know the state! I loved it here so much that I stayed an extra night! Shout out to Sal, Adrianna, Monica, Bailey, and Lee for going above and beyond! Will definitely be back soon! read more

We have now become " Regulars "..I really love this wonderful place, what a spectacular addition to our Paradise Valley:) Cant wait for the main restaurant to open, we had a tour and it looks splendid.. We have met some nice people at the bar and we have been taking our guests there for breakfast as well. read more

I was looking for a place I could get away from my busy practice with my wife, and spend the kind of quiet and contemplative time necessary to complete a very complex book on clinical practice. I searched through airbnb and then other more local rental agencies looking for a cabin or home to rent when I came upon the consideration of the Sage Lodge. I was looking for a place where, if I turned the proper devices off, I could get away from the practice. A place where I could enjoy the solitude of my thoughts if I wanted to while writing, or join the company of others, and a place I could take a break, enjoy a meal, go for a hike, make use of a hot tub, or even fly fish if I was struck by the urge. Or, even leave the property and head over to Chico Hot Springs or one the many fish access points or trails in the area. I also, unfortunately, needed modern amenities such as internet access, a reliable electrical system and spaces I could get the work done. Well, I found the place I was looking for at the Sage Lodge where I am in the middle of a week-long stay. The staff here are friendly and hard working without exception, the facility itself is exceedingly well-built and attractive with the updated feel of a rustic lodge comparable to Jackson Lake Lodge. The rooms are well considered, attractive and spacious, unlike the kind of cramped spaces one often finds at National Park Lodges given the era in which they were constructed. And the view, well, the "views" offered rival those at Many Glacier Lodge or Jackson Lake Lodge, with the main lodge that has forty foot tall expansive windows and sits adjacent its own small lake facing the Absaroka Range to the east and Emigrant Peak to the south. Then, there is the Gallatin Range and Mount Blackmore to the west, and the Crazy's are visible to the north on a clear day. There's just not a bad view, and the conference center sits above the Yellowstone River with again large windows facing northwest with open views of the river and Paradise Valley. The food is very good, and the wait staff as well as chefs are attentive in the way one might expect in a small intimate lodge. There is a comfortable indoor dinning space and an open air outdoor dining patio facing the lake when temperatures allow, which also has ample roof heating units should the evening turn a bit on the cold side. The lodge space is warm and welcoming, and outside facing the lake are a few open gas fire pits with eight to ten large comfortable chairs around them. Inside, there are family games laid out on several common tables, more relaxed comfortable seating next to the large lodge style fire place with a rough-hewn rocks that extends to the ceiling and can be enjoyed either in the restaurant bar or the main lodge. My appreciation of the Sage Lodge comes on many levels, one as an exceptionally busy professional who needed a place to sit, reflect, work and recreate. But, also in my distant past, as a former high-end adventure tour leader who traveled the country summers outside of graduate school. This is down right a great property with great staff that I have thoroughly enjoyed, and I did recommend it to my former boss of many years at the adventure tour company as well. read more

If you're looking for an unforgettable getaway, Sage Lodge is the answer. I'm an outdoor enthusiast and I saw they had free mountain bike rentals. My friends and I immediately went riding the next morning. This was where we met Scott. He really blew us away, he was so welcoming and extremely helpful and made sure we had enough water for our ride. I can't say enough great things about Sage Lodge and Scott. Thank you for making our experience incredible. I will definitely be coming back to visit. read more

A beautiful lodge in Paradise Valley, one of the prettiest places in Montana. Comfy rooms, great staff, delicious food. We enjoyed relaxing massages while there, sipped on wine by the fire pits in the evening -wrapped in blankets provided by the staff, enjoyed watching families try their hand at the board games in the lobby, all in all, just a beautiful experience all around. read more

We came here for drinks and snacks (we've been here before and the happy hour is amazing) and were seriously disappointed. There was confusion with the hostess and before she could even seat us, after we assured her our party with children would be gone before 5, the manager came up and whispered to her that we could only get drinks. He didn't even address us and we were standing right in front of him. Then before we could even turn around and walk out, food was brought out for another table. Not sure if they just don't have their stuff together or seriously discriminate against children but either way we won't be back anytime soon. read more

If your thinking about staying here. Forget it! We booked 5 nights snd we haven't slept a wink between the late night staff music and the horrible a/c system that is so loud and makes clicking noises throughout the night! They aren't cleaning Or servicing your rooms due to covid, which saves them money but they don't mind charging $600 per night for absolutely no service! On the third day of our stay I asked for new water glasses, fresh towels, trash to be taken and toilet paper because we ran out. We were gone for 5 hours, came back and absolutely nothing was done. We couldn't use the restroom because we had no toilet paper after a 5 hour day trip. Absolutely a 5 star view with a less than 1 star service snd stay. read more

My husband and I visited Sage Lodge within the first year of it opening. Being locals we loved every minute of it and could not rave about the food and cocktails enough. I am however disappointed with their change in menu at The Grill. Rabbit, pheasant pate, and plant steak???? Are you kidding me, there was a restaurant in Bozeman that served similar food and it is currently out of business. What happened to the wonderful steak offerings. I purchased a weekend at Sage Lodge for my parents as a Christmas gift and I am so sad by the change in menu they will probably be eating at Chico for the night. It is such a bummer since my husband and I raved about the food so much. read more

They advertise spas, hot tubs, saunas, etc., but by the time you can get there after Yellowstone, everything is closed. I was looking forward to warming up after freezing at Yellowstone. Who closes a hot tub at 6 pm?? Amenities are closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays. Total rip-off!! They say they're in a soft opening, & more stuff is coming soon. The facilities & views are awesome! Staff is friendly. Food from the 2 restaurants was decent (some great, some not). Best thing: milk & chocolate chip cookies set out at night! They have a few kinks to work out & will be a top notch getaway. read more

Have been coming to this area for 30 years and so enjoyed our first meal at The Grille at the Sage Resort. Bison main course was delicious and great service from Jen, our lovely server. It's a "do again ". read more

What a magical place. floating the Yellowstone River Sublime. Amazing and creative food, beautiful Lodge. The perfect place to hangout with friends and family. read more

We have left THREE messages to try and secure dinner reservations. NO return phone call. It was easier to get into the French Laundry than this lodge. #disappointed #seriously? read more

We strayed away from Chico resort to see what the fuss was about, and we were not disappointed! We sampled 4 different drinks (the smoking gun was a bit too Smokey, but can't fault them for honest advertising!) The screaming eagle was great tho! The rib eye was great, cooked very well and the squash soup was to die for! Herb was our server and was so knowledgeable. He made us want to stay for hours. Absolutely the highlight of our trip, we will definitely be back. read more

My friends and I had a wonderful time at our late night dinner. The service staff was short handed, took our table of 6 and made our night great. Great food and drinks! #ThanksHerb&Jen. read more

Great place for a couples getaway. Both restaurants were amazing with choices for everyone. I highly suggest the prawns appetizer with the white cheddar grits at The Grill. We will definitely check out the spa during our next stay. Our room was gorgeous and very clean; they had some really thoughtful/tasteful finishing touches throughout the whole room. read more

We absolutely loved this place! The staff are all very friendly, the rooms and lodge are beautifully designed, and the food and service were incredible! This all made for a VERY relaxing weekend! We will definitely be back again! read more
