About this property

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 now the place in which we will compare all future vacation rentals to. Craig went above and beyond as a host. In addition the property is wonderful in every way. The kitchen, the layout, walkability in downtown and the access to the decks with the mountain views was better than we’d hoped for. Will absolutely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Craig Kreider

Host profile image
We are an active couple that met in High School and are living the Dream in the lovely Bitter-root Mountains where there are plenty of things to do, Fly fishing, Hiking, Skiing ...Cafe Dining...Art Galleries, boutique shops... I digress, We like to save and restore old buildings together and we add them back to the communities original character.

Why they chose this property

Fantastic, Fresh, Cozy in the center of town above The Ponderosa Wine, Bar and Bistro close to everything, Cafes, Art Galleries,
view of the Sapphires and the Bitter root mountains from the rooftop, you can see up and down the valley.

What makes this property unique

My wife and I bought this Property ten years ago. It was the 2nd or 3rd brick building on Main Street. The city father "Marcus Daly The Copper King" built the Bank 1st and the Scandia Whore House 2nd or 3rd. In 1897, 120 years ago we didn't know it at the time but, we bought the downtown religious shrine (Just Kidding). As we took it apart we found old coin, whorehouse tokens and the gabled skylights. It looks like a crystal palace now compared to the dark hole it was. Then we put in a roof top lounge, 2nd floor deck, restored the murals downstairs and the Ponderosa Wine Bar and Bistro. Upstairs we put, in tin ceilings 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The cozy bar has an 1875 railroad map and club chairs it has a great vibe through out. We put up a 5 piece wainscot to represent the way we felt it would have looked back in the day, I used gold and black oriental rugs all a round. The street side great room has a beautiful gas fireplace and dining area. Well equipped Kitchen with a Black walnut island for your prep work
