Pine Creek Lodge is a kick-ass indoor/outdoor music venue near the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
Owners, Chip Hurt and Jenny Arr, left their marketing and sales careers in 2015 and brought their expertise and passion for music to the Paradise Valley to create a one of a kind music experience. Almost like you’re playing in Chip and Jenny’s back yard.
The Lodge hosts music almost year round, with outdoor shows on the Main Stage or Beer Garden Stage from June through September and on occasion more intimate indoor concerts on Fridays and Saturdays from January through April.
We have 6 cabins, 3 glamping tents and 5 tent sites, as well as a full restaurant.
We have exceptional relationships with other music venues in Montana where we can assist in helping to book additional shows where it makes sense.

“Pine Creek Lodge is an amazing venue situated in a slice of heaven and populated with poets and heroes. In the middle of the night I swear I heard the ghost of Jim Harrison opening a bottle of Bandol wine.”
“Pine Creek Lodge is one of the coolest venues I’ve ever played, and I loved my cabin. Playing for the people and horses under the stars with the mountains in the background is a gig I will never forget.”
Creekside Sessions, produced by Soundcolor Studios, are filmed on the banks of the mighty Pine Creek. If you play at Pine Creek Lodge we can get this set up for you, it’s free and it doesn’t take much time.

“Love Pine Creek Lodge. I’ve played there both solo and with my band and had a blast both times. Great location and fun people. Not to mention Montana is my favourite state. Hope to pass through again one of these days. Highly recommended.”
“Young Dubliners loved playing at Pine Creek Lodge in Montana. Absolutely beautiful location and the accommodations were superb. The stage and sound are perfect for the size venue and our audience loves the place too. We can’t wait to get back.”
“The venue is amazing! ”
“There’s a reason people travel from across the country to attend a show at Pine Creek Lodge. You may forget you are in a music venue; there is a running stream behind the stage which is set at the base of the Absaroka mountains. And if you aren’t careful enough a local may take you for some world class fishing down the Yellowstone River. The beautiful setting complimented by the staff and hospitality make it a truly memorable experience for all involved. That magic that musicians strive for seems to come a little easier at Pine Creek Lodge. We will return as a band or as attendees as long as we can! ”
“Pine Creek Lodge was one of the most exciting surprises for us this tour. The scenic atmosphere of the outdoor stage was absolutely inspiring and hanging out under the stars all night with a few folks who stayed late at the bar was one of the best memories I have of recent tour. Everyone treated us so well and the show itself was fantastic. Everyone was eager to rock and made us feel at home. Pine Creek Lodge is the type of venue that makes you want to move to a city. What a great local haunt!”
“Pine Creek Lodge? The answer is Yes. Consider this: Off the tour bus and into the hammock. An outdoor stage on the creek bank with a professional sound system and a local audience both laid back and music savvy. Hospitality abounds, and whether you hike into the Absarokas or hang around for the late night story telling, it’s magic under the Paradise Valley stars. ”
“I love Pine Creek, it’s such a beautiful setting and I had a fantastic time staying in the cabin and playing shows there. The staff and audience were so kind and I was overwhelmed with good vibes. I could see every star in the sky and I hope I get to return again soon.”
