Special Lodging Fundraiser: MNPS Native Plant Rendezvous 2026

 🌼 Auction will run from 8 am Jan 5th to 8 pm Jan 26th 🌼

Montana Native Plant Society will be convening for our 2026 Native Plant Rendezvous at the beautiful Homestake Lodge near Butte during June 26-28. While most attendees will camp or stay in dorm beds, there are a limited number of premium options for lodging in three modern cabins and a yurt, for groups of 2-6 people. Because these places are so special, we are auctioning them off here to the highest bidders as an MNPS fundraiser. Pick out your favorite and secure a deluxe two-night stay for you and a group of friends! Please bid generously.   

Thank you for your support. All proceeds go to furthering our shared mission of preserving, conserving, and studying Montana’s native plants and plant communities.

BIDDING INSTRUCTIONS

You can view all items up for bid by clicking "Lodging" or "All" items in the left menu.

For your convenience, in addition to regular bidding, our auction features automatic (proxy) bidding. Simply enter the maximum price you would like to bid for an item, and the system will automatically bid for you as other competing bids come in (up to your max bid). This can be an important step toward the end of the auction to avoid being outbid in the final flurry.

If you have any questions or need assistance with bidding, please call/text (406) 224-1012 or email bethmadden64@gmail.com. We will do our best to respond to email inquiries every day throughout the duration of the auction. See BiddingOwl online support also.

Item winners will receive a credit card payment link immediately following the auction. All items can be paid for quickly and easily after the auction closes through PayPal.  

This lodging is for two nights only (Fri & Sat) at the MNPS Native Plant Rendezvous, June 26-28, 2026. Successful bidders will be required to register for this MNPS event during April 2026, and registration costs will apply.
