Chris was amazing and so accommodating! Loved waking up to a Civilized Wake up of coffee! Breakfast every day was fantastic, and Chris knew the area and suggested places to see moose and bears for each of our hikes into Glacier. Would come back any time!

If I could this Inn a sixth star I would in a heartbeat! The hosts were above and beyond hospitable, checking in on our morning preferences, changing the menu to for our tastes, bringing tea and coffee to our room and having fresh flowers! If you are looking for the top tier of service, excellent food, all within walking distance of downtown Whitefish, this is it!

Three are at least three things that attract visitors to Whitefish, Montana. 1. The great outdoors to include hiking, skiing, bike cruising, trail walking, and the "Crown of the Continent", Glacier National Park. 2. Fantastic weather (especially for those of us who live in sweltering summer climates like the southeast and southwest). 3. Fun shopping and and great local fare like Tupelo Grill, Abruzzo Italian Kitchen, and Latitude 48 Bistro. For those of you who are looking for lodging, AND are a fan of Bed & Breakfast experiences, go no further than booking a room at Graden Wall Inn. Owners Rhonda Fitzgerald and Chris Schustrom are two of the best innkeepers in the tri-state area. They have been serving discerning travellers like you and me since 1987. Their attention to detail and service is top-of-mind and their unique breakfast offerings are some, if not the best, in Whitefish. Location, location, location...Just a block west of downtown Whitefish to include a plethora of dining and shopping options. Do yourself a favor. Research their reviews and decide for your self it it's not a great fit for your first or next visit to Whitefish.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful Inn! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The Inn itself is stunning—thoughtfully decorated, impeccably clean, and full of charm. One of my favorite parts was the endless coffee available (a true lifesaver in the mornings!). Our host went above and beyond to make our stay special, and their warmth truly made a positive impact on our entire vacation. You can tell a lot of heart goes into this place. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already dreaming about coming back. Highly recommend!

We had an exceptional 3-night stay at the Garden Wall Inn. Everything about our experience was top notch. Our room was quiet, clean and spacious. The location is great, just a short walk to downtown Whitefish. Our breakfasts were plentiful, fresh, and delicious. Chris and Rhonda were terrific hosts and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We would happily return to this gem of a B&B.

Great B&B! From Rhonda’s gourmet breakfasts to Chris’ wonderful hiking and restaurant recommendations, we enjoyed every minute in Whitefish. The room was cozy and well appointed with plush towels and the civilized wake up coffee was so appreciated. The location is perfect for walking into town and driving to Glacier. Such a gem!

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful inn for our stay near Glacier national park. Rhonda and Chris were so helpful. The breakfast is amazing. Whitefish is a great town and the inn is walkable to restaurants in town. Highly recommend this B&B

If you're reading this review wondering if a stay at Garden Wall Inn is as good as it looks, stop reading and book a trip here already! Chris and Rhonda are thoughtful and seasoned professionals who deliver above and beyond in creating a personal experience that stands out in today's all too often impersonal world. Stepping through the door of the inn felt to me like being welcomed into a family home where one can fully relax and allow themselves to be pampered with a gourmet breakfast and a soak in a clawfoot tub. I'm not sure if it's because of how the home is perfectly maintained, the peaceful flower and herb garden, or the fresh mountain air, but staying here also felt like entering a bubble of sorts where time doesn't exist and all is well. This is a true gem of a place.
