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.

Feels like home!

This was a great stop for a night on our way to Sugarloaf to ski. We booked last minute, but were given very clear check-in instructions. The room was comfortable, clean, and the extra amenities like the living room and breakfast supplies were an added bonus! We would absolutely stay again next time we’re up this way.

Great Ski Stay

A wonderfully quite place to stay. Our visit was to enjoy Sugarloaf and the Terrapins proximity to the mountain was great. We even extended our stay one more might with no hassle as weather closed the mountain one day.
