We are a small hotel with 5 rooms, 2 cabins, and a vacation rental. The same people who take your reservations and check you in also clean your rooms, do room service, take care of building maintenance, and lawn maintenance. Darren and Becky DeFord are the current managers
Our cozy lodging facility sits kitty-corner to the best museum in Montana, and just steps away from the local eateries. With only 8 units our rooms go fast, so whether you're coming for that buck of a lifetime or to catch up with classmates it pays to call early.
