A decade later, Hoyt had already begun to invite guests to his lakeside country inn before deciding in 1911 to devote more of his time to his lodging guests. Originally named Purity Spring Farms and Cottages, guests from around New England were attracted to the over 1,000 natural acres of fields and forests which surrounded springfed Purity Lake. The Hoyt Family made land preservation a priority and even during the lean years around World War I when business dropped considerably, remained focused on keeping the property intact. “My grandfather was devoted to keeping his land and passed on valuable lessons to my father, E.

In 1932, Edward's son, Milt, opened Camp Tohkomeupog for Boys. A few years later, Milt’s sister, Ellen, opened Camp Wampineauk for girls. The girls’ camp closed in 1977, but
the boys’ camp is still operating at the same location. In addition to the two camps, Milt and Ellen assisted their father in running the inn. In 1938, a rope tow was installed near Bald Ledge. Occasionally, Milt brought small groups of guests to the Inn during winter weekends to try the relatively new sport of skiing. In 1944, Milt left his teaching position in West Hartford, CT to develop Purity
of the boys camp. In 1962, the first trails were cut for the new King Pine Ski Area. In 1976, Ted, Laura, Bob and Susie Hoyt (and their respective spouses) took over the day-to-day management of the resort from their father, Milt. Today, the Hoyts operate the expanded Purity Spring Resort in much the same manner as their parents did, along with the fifth generation of Hoyts now active in the business as well. In 2001, the Hoyt family opened Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort in nearby Freedom. Danforth Bay has since grown to be one of New England's top RV and camping destinations. In 2006, The Bluffs RV Resort was developed. The Bluffs is an expansion of Danforth Bay and was designed specifically for adult RVers over 50. During the winter of 2011/12, King Pine will celebrate 50 years of on-snow, family fun!
