I definitely stay again!

The room was nice and great to have our own bathroom as there was three of us. Very comfortable and good to have air conditioning since it was hot for October. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to make ourselves at home. Lauran was immediately responsive for my check in question. Thanks for the great stay.

The hostel is in a cute old house with nice decor. We particularly enjoyed the pool table and darts to spend the evening. Breakfast had all the options you would want, better than most continental breakfasts. On the downsides, there was a double booking so we ended up in a shared bathroom room. And the windows don't open so it got stuffy (there is AC though)

This older home and its cultural interior connected with my roots in Kingfield when I worked as a forester for Dead River Timberlands in the mid-late 1960's. The wall art plus books on the Grateful Dead, you rock! I stayed here as my overnight for doing some off-trail photographic exploration in the Boundary Mountains the next day. i'll stay here again. Thanks
Not exactly my stay, but it supported my exploration the next day.
