COVID19

The safety and comfort of our guests are our top priorities, at the B&B. Heather had 25 years experience in working in healthcare, prior to operating the B&B. She has a working knowledge of infectious disease control and mitigation measures recommended to slow the spread of disease. Kevin is the team leader for COVID19 procedures and policies for his day job.  Together, we have implemented changes to ensure our guests feel confident we are doing our part to stop the spread of COVID19. Please read through the info below and if you have any concerns, please give us a call.

• We are open  & following the frequently changing state and federal recommendations for safety and cleaning. Our maximum capacity is 8 guests at the B&B. This always keeps us within the recommended limited gathering of 10 people or less.
• Our cleaning practices exceed the guidelines of our local health department and the CDC. All frequently touched surfaces such as door knobs, handrails, room keys etc are sanitized frequently throughout the day. Our ample inventory allows for all bed linens to be washed between guests, including the blankets. We have placed throw pillows and extra linens in your closet, wrapped with barriers, to keep sanitized until use. Where applicable, we have placed infection control barriers to cover surfaces which cannot be sanitized, such as TV remotes, etc. Hard surfaces floors are sanitized with a steam mop.
• Weather permitting, rooms are aerated daily with fresh mountain air.  Our wrap around porch and outdoor seating make it easy for guests to enjoy Montana's Big Sky fresh air also.
• We have made changes to our dining room to ensure breakfast, check in, and check out will be  compliant with the new social distancing recommendations. We have four separate breakfast tables, the ability to stagger breakfast times, or we can provide breakfast to go. We have also upgraded our payment processing system to be fully automatic, requiring no direct handling of credit cards. 
• We will be wearing masks  while preparing and serving breakfast or cleaning guest rooms, etc. 
• The majority of our supplies (groceries, etc) are delivered by a single driver of a local restaurant supply company.  Delivery of supplies limits our own possible exposure to disease spread through shopping in the community.
• Ravalli county performed extremely well in limiting the spread of COVID19. Our statewide efforts and collective personal responsibility has kept Montana to a very low infection rate. The governor has asked that we all continue to be vigilant  in mitigation, while we move forward to reopen Montana.
• We leave it to our guests to also show personal responsibility to limit spread of disease.  Gov Bullock has recommended masks in indoor public areas, if you are unable to maintain 6 feet apart from one another.  (Please note, some local stores may require a mask.) Please wash your hands prior to breakfast or entering shared areas of the B&B. Hand sanitizer is available, in public areas of the B&B. 
• Restaurants and pubs are open with limited seating. If needed, guests are welcome to order dinner to go and eat at any of the tables provided at the B&B.
• Presently our cancellation policies are in effect per original contracts. For those impacted by COVID19, who booked reservations prior to April 1, 2020, we are happy to reschedule your stay,  without penalty.   Gift certificates will be issued for use at a later date, rather than forfeiture of deposit, if illness or travel restriction prevents you from honoring your reservation.  Guests who book reservations after 4/1/2020 are assumed to be fully aware of COVID19 policies and will be held to the cancellation policy as outlined in your reservation contract.
• We are accepting reservations for summer, fall, and into summer of 2021.  Due to the uncertainty of travel in the coming months,  we have  programmed several choices for deposits. You can select to pay either  10%, 25% or 50% deposit to hold your room.  We also  have a few last minute specials, daily deals, and a summer discount for 4+ night stay. If you aren't sure when will be a good time to visit, gift certificates are available for purchase. 
• We are using this quiet time at the B&B to upgrade the internet, upgrade the TV's, upgrade the webcam, freshen up the interior paint, stain the wrap around porch deck, refinish the sun room floor, wash the windows, freshen up the front entryway landscape, prep the vegetable garden, bicycle maintenance, mend the fence,  etc. 
• If you booked through an OTA (booking, expedia, hotels, trivago, etc) your contract is through them and any changes must be handled through them.  Cancellation policies remain in full effect. No exceptions will be made for OTA reservations.
