Mountain View Lodge

It was an interesting process trying to find somewhere to stay in Stevens County, Washington. We found a couple spots online that we thought might be OK but our son let us know that they wouldn’t be a good choice. He told us the area to look and we found Mountain View Lodge in Chewelah.

The Lodge has 3 rooms in the lower level with a “great room” on the upper level for guests to use.

This was the outside entry to our room.

Our room, the Selkirk.

This is the great room where continental breakfast was available along with comfortable seating to watch T.V.

Beautiful views from all the windows.

We were the only ones staying at the lodge the 2 nights we were in Eastern Washington. We enjoyed just sitting and catching up with our son Dan.

When we visit again we’ll enjoy coming back to the Mountain View Lodge.

Every since we came home we’ve been busy with our company. We’ve enjoyed meals together and an outing to Pike Place Market. Dear has been working on replacing some siding on the house. Our company heads home today. Hope you all have a nice weekend.

O Beautiful…

for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain;

For purple mountains majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood,

From sea to shining sea.

We did not see any seas but the mighty Columbia River that begins in the Canadian Rockies and flows through the state of Washington empties into the Pacific Ocean between Oregon and Washington…

These are some of the views we saw on our road trip to Eastern Washington to visit our son, Dan. We are home now and I wanted to post something from our trip. Our company survived nicely without us. Don’t know what the plans are for today except for what we are having for dinner. Summer has arrived on this side of the mountains, too, so our guests are finally warming up. Hope all is well with you and yours today…
