Eric and Juliana Montgomery were halfway through the renovation of the Craftsman home they purchased in 2006 when their lives and their perspective changed. They scrapped the idea of restoring then selling the home.
“It was kind of hard to give it up,” says Juliana Montgomery, who had become pregnant during the renovation. “We were falling in love with the place.”
A year later in March 2008, Montgomery House Bed and Breakfast opened at 180 S. First St. in Kalama.
The home contains three guest bedrooms, including one with a huge bathroom and view of the Columbia River and two others with a shared bath. The common area features an art gallery, befitting the Montgomerys’ desire to use the facility as an event venue.
Moreover, the Montgomerys have gone to great lengths to make their inn eco-friendly, with a focus on recycling, organic foods and use of non-toxic materials.
“We’re trying to care for our environment and our guests as much as possible,” Juliana Montgomery says.
