Beautifully Restored house of pleasure on Main St above Ponderosa Wine Bar

"The Scandia House Loft" was a labor of Love, it took two years to restore this former house of Pleasure. In the process of restoration we discovered old coins, whore house tokens, old newspapers ,wooden nickels and other artifacts. It left us with this beautiful place in downtown Hamilton, Montana over The Ponderosa Wine Bar and Bistro... we added a lovely 2nd floor deck with access to the roof top lounge with a fantastic view of the Bitter-root and Sapphire Mountains. You'll agree it is an enchanting place to stay...We look forward to meeting you all...

This is my 4th or 5th stay. I get back to Hamilton once a year and if I can, book my travel around an opening at Craig’s property for all the reasons that others have mentioned. Quality and service are consistently high with lots of nice touches!

A spectacularly fun getaway!

The Scandia House was the perfect home away from home for 4 adults. In the heart of downtown Hamilton, all amenities are right there. Everything you need for your stay is included, and the two outside patios make for a lovely summer oasis to relax and take in the gorgeous views. Craig, the property manager, made us feel so welcome right from the start! We cannot wait to return!!

What a wonderful place to stay! Very safe and clean, nicely appointed, everything you need in the kitchen, and so very comfortable! We especially enjoyed the location: walking distance to fantastic restaurants, shops and the Saturday market. My favorite touch was the ice cream sandwiches!!! Thank you for an outstanding visit--we will be back!

This place is the nuts! We had 3 rather rainy days in Hamilton and this was the perfect place to be inside. Cozy, classy and comfortable! Craig was great! Stocked snacks and breakfast food. I hope we get the chance to stay again!

A great apartment

We’ve stayed here four or five times and always enjoy our home away from home in Hamilton. The apartment is beautiful, pretty large and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and some breakfast items are in the fridge. It’s downtown Hamilton by shopping, restaurants and a grocery is across the street. There’s parking in front of the building. Craig is a great host and is readily available for questions and suggestions.

Absolutely Perfect!

Myself, my husband, his sister and her husband all loved our stay. It was perfect for two couples. Everything was so close, we enjoyed walking to dinner or cooking in while there. Craig was amazing and had left everything needed for breakfast as well as lots of ice cream in the fridge The apartment was perfect. Lots of space and the kitchen was stocked with anything and everything you need including a slow cooker. My husband and I loved the wine bar downstairs. We enjoyed Jessica and she gave us so many tips to help our stay. I would not hesitate to stay here again!!

Perfection/Location

We were located above Blodgett Canyon Cellars. This property is not for someone who cannot climb steep steps but ideal for adults without children. The owner was fabulous providing us with a stocked frig and freezer from bacon, eggs, english muffins, coffee, juice, ice cream with little touches such as flowers and candy. We even had a spiritual event with the resident spirit who spoke to us on our anniversary morning...

2nd visit and just as amazing

If you're going to Hamilton and this place is open, you'd be crazy to go anywhere else! This was my second time and I never plan to stay anywhere else when I go there (if its open) from the host to the price to the property to the location this is spectacular find! it is a great spot no matter how many people are in your group. Two goodsized bedrooms with comfortable beds (A/C and block out shades in each room) 2 bathrooms with full tub. Skylights in bathrooms and kitchen is very charming. Kitchen has been stocked well on both visits and the view from the rooftop deck is just stunning! love this place, thanks again Craig!

Craig was awesome....met us there and showed us around. The apt. is exactly as described....the patio is great. All utensils we needed to make dinner was available. Craig had enough food left for us for a breakfast meal the next morning. Safeway is right across the street. Apartment right on Main street....steps are steep, in case you have trouble climbing a lot of steps. We already booked for next year.
