A riverfront adventure basecamp on the Clark Fork River, recently transitioned to Gravity Haus, featuring the Dog Wash Café, gear rentals, and direct trail access.
LOGE Missoula, located at 420 West Broadway Street, occupies a prime piece of real estate along the Clark Fork River in downtown Missoula. Originally operating as the Mountain Valley Inn, the 58-room motel property was transformed into an adventure-centric basecamp by LOGE Camps, featuring a laid-back, outdoor-first design. In early 2026, the property faced financial difficulties and temporarily closed, but it was quickly acquired in May 2026 by Denver-based adventure-lifestyle hospitality brand Gravity Haus. Reopening under the Gravity Haus Missoula banner, the property is transitioning into a community-focused social club and hotel, integrating its signature membership model while preserving the active, river-centric spirit that made the original location a favorite for travelers.
The architecture retains its classic mid-century motel footprint, offering direct exterior room access that makes loading and unloading gear seamless. Inside, the 58 rooms blend minimalist Montana design with highly functional details. Guests will find dedicated gear walls equipped with racks for hanging fly rods, skis, and surfboards, alongside clever touches like striped Pendleton wool blankets and classic cooler-style ice buckets. The property's signature Dog Wash Cafe serves local Drum Coffee alongside breakfast items, and it famously features a self-serve dog wash station to clean up trail-weary pups. Outside, the courtyard serves as a communal hub, complete with crackling fire pits, outdoor furniture, and barbeque areas where guests gather to swap stories after a day on the water.
Positioned just steps from the Clark Fork River trail system, the hotel provides immediate access to Missoula's premier outdoor recreation. Guests can check out complimentary cruiser bikes, paddleboards, or snowshoes from the on-site gear library, making it easy to head straight to Brennan's Wave, a famous man-made river surf break located just a short paddle downstream. The property also features a fitness center, co-working spaces, and convenient parking, catering to digital nomads and weekend warriors alike. With its transition to Gravity Haus management, the property now offers curated local programming and exclusive benefits for its active membership community, solidifying its place as the ultimate launchpad for exploring the rivers, trails, and vibrant cultural scene of Missoula.
To surf Brennan's Wave, the famous river wave on the Clark Fork, borrow a river surfboard and helmet from the hotel's gear library, which is fully stocked for guest use.
