Cute little store. We saw it on the drive home and thought what the hell, let's stop in. So glad we did. It is full of cute eclectic stuff, a lot of which I had never seen before. (Which is rare for me). Left with two small gnomes, two pairs of earrings, and a mushroom lip balm. There were so many other things in there that caught my eye though. Including the specialty puzzles. The sales lady was so sweet too. Next time we are in the area, stopping here is a must. đź’•

It's tough to find a good restaurant that also has great cooks & and waitresses, but I've got to say this is it! I don't know his name, but the tall blonde dude is a great chef!!! If he's working, you'll sure love your food. And the waitress, Cathy! She's great and remembers your name! We recently moved to the area and have been thinking about asking for his work schedule!!!!

A good stop in Potlatch! I can't remember the gal's name, but she was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wines. Flights, by the glass and snacks available. She even brought out a bowl of water for our little pup who laid under the table the whole time. It's a very small shop and pet friendly. A bigger dog might be better at an outside table.

Excellent and scenic trail along the river. This hike is kid friendly and we walked till the trail bridge. E returned back after reaching the river bridge. Took some snaps of few people fishing along the river. Drive is through rough roads for last 3 miles but manageable.

This farm store includes unique local items from all over the Northwest. Pick up some local cider, smoked salmon, and fir-tip jelly for your bread—it’s time for a beach picnic on the canal!
