Tracy's Helpful Tips & Hacks

We do not have a restaurant on-site.  With that said, there's 3 restaurants near us:

• The Gateway, is a local mom & pop shop that's located in the town of Plummer, which is about 12 minutes away.  Their breakfast sandwich is pretty good.
• The Red Tail Bar & Grill and The Chinook Steak House that's located at the CDA Casino, which is 15 minutes away.

• There's 1 local grocery store near us called, Benewah Market, that's located in Plummer.
• There's 1 fast food place called, Zip's Drive-In, that's also located in Plummer.
• Summer season and with limited hours, there's a food truck called, J&M Eatz, near Timber Ridge Espresso Coffee that's located in Plummer.  Visit their Facebook page for menu and hours: https://www.facebook.com/p/JM-Eatz-100090090373955/

• Forgot Something? Broke something?

There's an Ace Hardware store located in Plummer that's next door to Benewah Market.

• Benewah Automotive Store, limited in selection and located in the same shopping center parking lot of Benewah Market.
• Next closest auto store would be in Saint Marie's or CDA. 

Since there's no restaurant onsite, I invite any hotel guests who plan ahead to pack a portable propane grill.  You are able to set it up in our back patio at one of our designated tables.  Although hotel rooms, do not have microwaves, they do have mini-fridges.  There's 2 microwaves in the common lodge area for guest use as well as a small sink.  

Travelers lodging in the hotel who are early rising coffee drinkers--I suggest you purchase a coffee pod or two at the time of check-in as the office does not open until 9am. 

OR

If you're more of a fancy coffee drinker and need that latte, then there's 3 local coffee huts:

• Tobra Coffee Roasters, located in Worley next to BNS Smoke Shop and Gas Station
• Timber Ridge Espresso, located in Plummer on D St.
• Rising Star Espresso, also located on D St.

We have many travelers who come to visit and ride the infamous Trail of the Coeur d'Alene.  Ask me for info such as: where to launch, where to park, where else you can join the trail, or maybe you're just looking to take a leisure ride for ice cream over the bridge--whatever it may be, I'll help you find out!

Did you know?

You are able to park you vehicle safely on our property while on your cycling adventure.  Daily parking is $10 per day or $50 per week.  Most places along the trail will not allow you to park your vehicle overnight so plan accordingly. 

Lake access is located a couple miles away from us at Heyburn State Park and Chatcolet.  Visit for more info:

Call our local friends, Josh and Michelle, who rent out their RV trailer and deliver the RV to our property.  You don't even have to hassle the towing of the RV!  In addition to booking a reservation with us, you must call Josh and Michelle for more info and to book the RV directly with them:

Although we offer free WIFI to our campers, being out here as is it can sometimes go in and out.  Depending on your cell phone service provider, you may or may not get good reception.  With that said, if you have an old DVD player, it wouldn't hurt throwing it in your RV for back-up.  In the case you're not receiving good cell service, we have DVDs available to rent at the office.

If you're a van camper and want space and shade, save the money and book a POWER/WATER ONLY site.  My personal site suggestions are: site #'s 40-43 and 55-56.  The sites are spacious enough for a standard pop-up shade and a standard tent if need to be.

• DO NOT FORGET YOUR SHOWER SANDALS OR FLIP FLOPS
• Forgot or don't have a table?  Call the office to see if there's a picnic table available to rent.  Rental is free however, I need your ID or CC as collateral.
