The fitness center will be unavailable to guests beginning May 8 throughout the summer as the space is reimagined as part of our temporary spa experience. In its place, we invite you to embrace a different kind of movement, one shaped by the season and the landscape that surrounds us.

Summer in Montana is something special. Long days, open skies, and fresh mountain air create the perfect setting to reconnect with the outdoors. From quiet morning walks to scenic hikes and bike rides along our on-site trails, there are countless ways to move your body and take in the beauty of Paradise Valley.

To complement this shift, we’ll be offering enhanced wellness experiences designed to help you feel grounded, restored, and fully present in the season. We look forward to inviting you to our new fitness center once it is relocated and thoughtfully integrated into the new spa, where it will reopen with views overlooking the Yellowstone River later this year.

For additional in-room amenities, please contact [email protected] or call us at 406.823.4002.

We do not have a formal business center; however, there are numerous spaces across the property available for remote working with your own equipment.

There is not a pool on the property, however, we have three outdoor hot tubs: one main hot tub for lodge guests, a private hot tub for the Ranch Houses, along with a hot tub exclusive to guests of The Spa.

The Spa at Sage Lodge is currently undergoing a thoughtful renovation designed to further elevate your future wellness experience. This project reflects our continued commitment to providing exceptional comfort, luxury, and tranquility for our guests.

As we prepare for this chapter, treatments and services will be offered in the fitness center and Room 15 (beginning June 8). Guests will check in and relax in our Wellness Nook, a thoughtfully curated space featuring red light face masks, grounding mats, and a wellness inspired menu curated by our culinary team. We invite the local community to enjoy this temporary spa Monday-Thursday, while weekend treatments will be reserved for overnight guests. The main lodge hot tub will also remain available for use either before or after your appointment. 

Please note that our main spa amenities, including the hot tub, sauna, and steam room, will be unavailable during this time. We appreciate your understanding as we thoughtfully enhance these spaces for your future enjoyment. 

While the spa experience evolves, our team remains dedicated to delivering the same exceptional service and care you’ve come to expect. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a treatment, we’re here to help.
