The Walt Disney Company is 180,000 employee strong that hopefully needs a southwest Montana getaway: Boulder Creek Lodge

The Walt Disney Company was a significant part of my life growing up in the midwest. Every weekend my family was assured a personal visit by Walt Disney to our living room. :-)

As an adult I have been consumed by Walt Disney's life, obstacles he faced, choices he made, management style he developed, hospitality philosophies, corporate identity, product branding, and the art of "Constantly Business Plussing".

The backbone in the decision to purchase the Boulder Creek Lodge in Hall, Montana was based on my wish to replicate at Boulder Creek as many reincarnations of Walt's undaunting passion and success formulas for business as possible.

While the Walt Disney Company has copyrighted the rightful goal of Walt Disney World/Disneyland being "The Happiest Places on Earth" my goal is to take one small step each and every day with the hope of creating my version of the "Happiest Place in Montana".

While Walt Disney in fact created the company that exists today, Bob Iger the current CEO has quietly taken the Disney Company to heights never thought possible.

Disney Company does in fact have many incredible venues located all over the world. I hope that the Disney Company needs just one more viable option for an employee getaway, brainstorming location, or as a perk for their high performing Disney Cast Members.

Boulder Creek Lodge has beautiful surroundings as can be seen via this video created by one of our BCL guests this past summer. Boulder Creek Lodge Resort Video

In addition for the special company retreat, BCL has WiFi and multiple DSL connections with the regional carrier.

We have 10 beautiful cabins, 10 RV or 5th wheel hookups and many, many pop-up or camping options available.  For that outside entertainment option we have a performance stage and full line catering options available.

Guest Bill Booth creates OUTSTANDING video of Boulder Creek Lodge

Bill Booth and friends from Bill Booth Outdoors visited southwest Montana this past summer. Boulder Creek Lodge was fortunate enough to be the property where they chose to pitch their tent on the banks of Boulder Creek.

During their visit to Boulder Creek Lodge, I discovered Bill's love for southwest Montana and all its recreational opportunities. More importantly, I discovered who Bill is and his exceptional character.

While visiting BCL I was surprised and excited to see and hear that Bill had started to create a short video of his stay at our resort. Below is that creation. Thank you Bill and friends.

Boulder Creek Lodge 2016 Marketing Campaign is now in full swing

As 2015 quickly progresses to its end, we at Boulder Creek Lodge are fully dialed in to 2016.  I am very excited about our ad that will appear in the Philipsburg Territory for 2016.

In 2015 we established a 3 year commitment to a billboard located between Missoula and Drummond, Montana on the eastbound side.

Boulder Creek Lodge welcomes new friends to the BCL family from all over the world.

This summer at Boulder Creek Lodge has been one we here at BCL will forever remember. Since June 15, 2015 when we opened BCL for its first season we have been blessed meeting many families and friends from around the world: Canada, Ireland, Australia, Mexico, England, Scotland and many, many states in the United States.

Some of these new friends have utilized our beautiful camping area, others have parked their RV in our RV Park or enjoyed our awesome cabins accommodations. I am proud to say that our menu at the Boulder Restaurant has been exceptionally well received.  Our signature entrees of Walleye and Certified Angus - Prime Rib have been loved by all.

Thank you for these incredible memories of our inaugural summer of BCL ownership in 2015.

Please join us again for new and more exciting memories in the future and becoming a part of the Boulder Creek Lodge - Montana family of friends.

BOULDER CREEK LODGE WELCOMES ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELK FOUNDATION MEMBERS

The Boulder Creek Lodge would like to invite all the many 1,000's of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation members to not only stay at the Boulder Creek Lodge facilities: cabins, camping area or RV park but also to enjoy the meals we serve at the Boulder Creek Restaurant. #RMEF #Hunting #Montana #Fishing

Wanted Bloggers: Travel, RV, Camping & Vacation focus

The importance and impact of social media and specifically blogging to a start up small business is critical to a successful business. The power and reach of bloggers is profound, immediate and of a magnitude seldom realized in marketing.

As owner of the Boulder Creek Lodge - Montana I would invite #travelbloggers  #rvbloggers #Camping #RVPark #CabinRental #huntingbloggers #fishingbloggers #mountainbikebloggers to visit the Boulder Creek Lodge.

Given the above statement I realize just how much I must learn regarding the do's and don'ts of blogging.

The Boulder Creek Lodge in Hall, Montana is a life long dream realized. For the last 16 years I taught high school in northern Illinois. Since March 31, 2008 when my life changed dramatically (The Widow Maker Heart Attack at age 48), I have pursued the life long dream of owning a business in Colorado, Wyoming or Montana with determination and conviction.

My wife and I purchased the Boulder Creek Lodge on May 15, opened the resort on June 15, and now 6 weeks into ownership, I am convinced that the blogger world does in fact have a very special subject (The Boulder Creek Lodge in southwest Montana).

I strongly believe the younger population as well as the older traveling population RV camping, Tent Camping, and Cabin Relaxation travelers seek great stories they can emotionally connect.  The average traveler given the opportunity to become a cast member or participant in the positive story will do so with enthusiasm.

The average tourist, traveler given their choice would happily support American Small Business or Free Enterprise way of life given the chance.

"The Official Home of Glamping" is waiting for your visit to southwest Montana

Glamping (Glamorous Camping) describes perfectly the glamping/rental cabin opportunities at the Boulder Creek Lodge in southwest Montana.  The word Glamping is a relatively new term that metaphorically describes those that love to travel, but do not necessarily enjoy the idea of "roughing it" with no bathrooms or showers. BTW, did I mention that Beer & Wine are an official addition to the glamping vernacular?

I am not sure where the person was glamping at the time he or she coined the word glamping. Because no one that I know of has actually claimed being "The Official Home of Glamping", for now I will claim that it is in fact Boulder Creek Lodge is the Official Home of Glamping.

Our ten glamping/rental cabins are clean, comfortable, and key to the Home of Glamping. They are in very close proximity to shower, bathroom, coin laundry facilities, and RV Park. Roughing-it campsites are located next to the beautiful Boulder Creek.

In addition to being the Official Home of Glamping our resort extends the idea of glamping to an entirely new level as we offer both chef prepared breakfast and dinner menu everyday but Tuesday.

A heart attack can impact anyone, anywhere, anytime...even on vacation.

No one knows when they can be impacted by the arrival of a life changing or lending experience of suffering a heart attack.  Sadly, speaking from first person, the difference from life or death can be the distance from the victim to an AED.  Boulder Creek Lodge will now have a 24/7 accessible AED in the lower level of our lodge.

As a heart attack survivor myself having an AED on site was not only a need but a requirement. I have spoken with Granite County Medical Center and they welcome the addition of an AED installed in Maxville vicinity.
