Charlo

Set in the Mission Valley on the Flathead Reservation, Charlo offers sweeping views of the Mission Mountains—rugged, snow-covered in winter and strikingly dramatic year-round. Their sharp ridgelines and shifting light create a commanding backdrop, perfectly framed by the broad windows and patio of the Allentown Restaurant.

The town’s landmarks bring small-town authenticity with cinematic range. The D’Aste Church and a 1930s Art Deco-style school hold strong period character, while Tiny’s Tavern carries the feel of a working local bar, versatile for interior or exterior shots.

Wildlife productions find depth here, too. The tranquil, scenic Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge anchors the valley’s bird habitats, while just minutes away the CSKT Bison Range opens into sweeping grasslands with bison, elk and deer in motion.
