Professional photography with a caring touch! And attention to what YOU want and HOW you want it!…read moreWe went to Sedona, AZ. to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. I had the idea to have someone take some professional-quality photos with the beautiful, red-rock background. I asked at the hotel and they recommended Whispering Daisy Photography. Kelsey and I swapped many emails before the trip; she wanted to learn more about us and I wanted to be sure she understood what we wanted. I wanted the photos to reflect our love of the outdoors and especially the depth of our loving, caring, sharing relationship for so many years. We think she really "nailed it"! Thank you, Kelsey for a wonderful experience and photos that will bring us joy, happiness and many wonderful memories. MaryAnn & Don

The facility and grounds are picturesque with wildlife visiting morning and night and occasionally throughout the day. I cannot say enough about the owners and manager. Please be sure to leave the venue better than you found it by returning their kindness and cleaning up after your event, they work so hard to make it a very special experience.

Now called the Riverview Motel, this is a lovely roadside two story motel just south of the town of…read moreIone on Highway 31. Riverview Motel is a great place to stop for a night or two for a clean room when touring this part of Northeast Washington. Beautiful scenery that is right along the Pend Oreille River (pronounced Pond Oray) on the International Selkirk Loop. Motel rooms include a good sized small fridge/freezer, toaster oven and microwave and coffee maker and nice flat screen tv with lots of channels. They have guest laundry facilities too, so a great place to stop and clean up a bit if you're on an extended tour. Tip: request one of the "end" rooms that has a view of the Pend Oreille river. (there are two view rooms and well worth the extra $10) you get a view of the river and a deck with a small outdoor table and two chairs. Its nothing fancy but it is very clean and very well maintained. There isn't much in the way of food offered in the town of Ione which is why this motel is great. They provide two BBQ grills for guest use and the rooms are outfitted for you to bring in your own food for a short stay. Grab some frozen-delight dinner from the grocery store in Ione and grill/microwave whatever you need. They have one covered picnic table on the edge of the parking lot overlooking the river. Lots of wildlife, trees and fresh air along this scenic highway route, (This weekend we saw a moose with calf, black bear and turkeys!) In the past, we've seen fox, brown bear, whitetail deer, elk and tons of turkeys. The Lions Club runs a scenic railway tour and Boundary Dam is very interesting to visit.

This is an older motel, and you can see some wear and tear on the furniture, but if you overlook that, the room is functional and clean, with a microwave and small fridge/freezer.
