The small Montana town of Timberton has always provided a joyful Christmas retreat for visitors as well as those who live in the area. When guests check into the hotel for the holidays, they're often unaware that resident chef and artist, Mist, has a way of working magic in people's lives.

This year, an angel ornament project offers guests and local townsfolk a chance to reflect on others in their lives. As always, time spent together, exquisite food, and camaraderie allow guests a chance to trade worries for a sense of peace. One thing is certain: no one leaves Timberton without a renewed sense of hope for the future.
