Nice and cozy hostel. Very clean. No hairdryer, so it’s a bit inconvenient if you have long hair. The breakfast is self-served (you can cook/prepare it on your own. Ingredients provided)

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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)

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.

The hostel was clean and very accessible. The kitchen was of great use, for those who like to cook on the road.

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.

Last minute find, would definitely stay there again. I'm assuming due to a rain storm coming in, we had the place to ourselves! Matt was very welcoming and the house was very clean.
