Creek House 509: Quiet little cottage on the creek
The Creek House & Campsite: A Tapestry of History, Nature, and Adventure
Tucked away on the banks of Chamokane Creek lies the Creek House, a living relic of history and a testament to nature's undying allure. Spread across 6 verdant acres and dotted with the resonances of a time long past, this estate is a gateway to both tranquil respite and spirited adventure.
Historical Grandeur:
The Creek House's Legacy: Erected in 1912, this enchanting house was once a bunkhouse for the builders of the Long Lake Dam. Relocated to Chamokane Creek in 1974, it now offers three spacious bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a contemporary bathroom. It promises a seamless blend of the old-world charm with today's comforts.
Embrace Nature:
Boundless Greens: The vast lawn, punctuated by a lively firepit, becomes a hub for celebrations, quiet readings, or nighttime stargazing. Without the intrusion of city lights, the stars unveil their full splendor here.
Whispers of Nature: The front porch invites you to sit and lose yourself in the calming murmurs of the creek, chirps of the birds, and the rustle of leaves.
Adventures Await:
Vast Expanses: The neighboring Lake Spokane recreation area, multiple lakes, and the Spokane river make every day a new adventure.
Happy Meadows: A hop, skip, and jump away, either by foot through the woods or a quick car ride.
Hiker's Paradise: With adjacent state and federal lands stretching out, explorers have miles of nature to traverse.
Disc Golf: Try your hand at our 9-hole disc golf course, challenging yet fun for all levels.
Sustainability & Restoration: We're deeply committed to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty and historical essence of the Creek House and its surroundings. Major restoration efforts have been underway. Although recent Google satellite imagery may show remnants of the past, today, it stands rejuvenated and free from past clutter.
A Gentle Note: As we continue enhancing the Creek House experience, there will be a subsequent rate increase upon completion.
Join us at the Creek House & Campsite. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a fun-filled getaway, or a dive into history, we promise an unforgettable journey.
