Great Location!

We loved the amount of space we had for our family. The communication was great and they were very helpful. The environment was an older home, but it was well kept. The beds were not the most comfortable and although it was clean overall, seeing mouse traps although understandable, always make me concerned there is a problem.

best buy for your money in the valley

An older nicely renovated house. Very welcoming and our host caretaker Matt was beyond helpful. Just beware that it is an older house with no real sound proofing. It didn't bother me as I sleep soundly and all folks staying there were very respective of others. Nice quiet safe area and close to some services.

Very cozy hostel in Kingfield which has a few private rooms as well as dorm areas on the third floor. Access to a full kitchen to prepare meals. Breakfast cereals available for the morning. Some minor communication challenges checking in as phone contacts kept getting terminated. However, eventually a connection was made. Private room that I reserved is spacious and very comfortable.

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.
