It is incredibly eerie to walk into an empty Bed and Breakfast that once bustled with out of town guests, rolling suitcases and crackling fires.

Coronavirus: A Small Business Nightmare
After running our newly acquired Bed and Breakfast for only four months, we have made the uncomfortable decision to close for business for at least two weeks.

After all, this campground had everything we needed and there didn’t seem to be a forest ranger enforcing the fourteen day maximum …
Finding Paradise in Hungry Horse
After our two weeks were up at Whitefish State Park Campground, we headed out towards Swan Lake and Big Fork. Both are towns near Whitefish and are known for incredible camping, rafting and the like.
