Quilting: If you love to quilt and want to set up a Quilting Retreat for yourself and some friends there is a large table for laying out fabric. I quilt there so there is a large cutting mat available. The local "Sweet Creek Creations" has some of the best fabric in any quilt store I have visited. The two sisters who own the shop are there to help with any quilting questions you might have. You can set up your machine(s) on the folding tables available and look out over the river to relax your eyes and muscles.
Golfing: unique experience golfing at the Pend Oreille Golf Course; nine holes situated in the forest, with SAND greens. There is an honor system to pay for your under $5/person; $10/season or family green fees (put the money in the envelop and into the box). There is also a small family owned golf course with grass greens; Serendipity about 15 miles south near Ione.
