Roselea Triggs, the 1950's owner of Copper Creek Inn once lived in these rooms above the restaurant. She waited tables by day and wrote short stories by night. She had a colorful history and was loved by people who knew her. Many people remember her and discribe her as "the light of the commumity."
Soft sunny colors decorate this two room suite. The livingroom sofa makes into a foam futon type bed bed for another couple or children. The bedroom has a queen sized antique sleigh bed. A small table and chairs, an antique trunk, 1950's advertisements for Copper Creek Inn restaurant and 1950's TV embellish the room.

The TV actually works! Enjoy a classic movie or even a modern movie in black and white. You'll be surprised at how it feels like an old one. Or if you must have color, a modern TV and a great of movies are also supplied.

French windows open out onto views of towering cedars and firs. Knotty pine woodwork compliments the restored douglas fir floors and bead board walls.

A gas fireplace warms the room in winter months and provides a romantic open flame.
In 1946 Roselea Triggs & her husband, Harry Long purchased Copper Creek. It had been a lunch counter and garage, and they converted the whole building to a restaurant. Roselea, a striking beauty who had a brief career in Burlesque, was the waitress. Shortly after opening the cafe, Harry left Roselea with $15.00 in her pocket. She was no cook, but she managed to keep the restaurant open with the help of friends. A local logger started showing up in the mornings to make breakfast. Word spread quickly in the valley and they soon had a vibrant trade.
Frenchie's Suite: A three rooms suite is named for the 1950s baker at Copper Creek Inn, Hank "Frenchie" Canty. Two knotty pine bedrooms have lush queen beds with down comforters. An additional two children or couple can sleep on the foam roll out sofa in the living room.
