The early morning view of the moon setting behind the mountain.

A flower I discovered during recent travels. Maybe I need to see if I can get it to grow in our Story House garden?

Brothers. 🙂

You only live once - take the time to enjoy the swingset and family!

Can you see all these p***y willow sticks in the dirt? We had them in a vase at the Story House and they rooted! So we've planted them and after they've grown for a while, we'll plant them back at the Story House!

Thursday is brought to you by the color green!
Green for Spring with a little Nat King Cole mixed in.

It's Spring! Flower pots and essential oil difussers along with an herb garden with basil, lemongrass, and more. What more could you possibly want?

This wall hanging was made by Krista Gately. We are so excited it had found its way onto the walls of our Story House!

Follow her for more examples of her beautiful artwork.

Different hues of pink inside and outside.

We're ready for Spring! But since we're not quite there, we'll have to settle for dried lavender.

Home is where... Well, it's wherever you want it to be!
Thank you to all our guests this last year that made The Story House their home for a few days.

When you come visit the Grande Ronde Valley, you can hike a trail system in the hills outside of town.
If you do, keep an eye out for random apple trees. If I understand local history correctly, they were planted by the first settlers in this area!
A beautiful treasure hunt!

We got a little bit of flowers from our plant in the closet that's waiting for spring.

Thanks and gratitude is appreciated-living lives worthy of the sacrifice, both big and small, is far better. Freedom isn't free and many generations have never had to pay for it. The least we can do today is be the best of Americans, honoring those who have served, those who have paid the ultimate price, and those who have yet to return home. Happy Veterans Day.⠀

No, I can't say that we have Jazzercise classes here. But we do have some awesome outdoor fitness classes. If you stay at the Story House, message us for fitness options while you're here.

Cool things to do that are less than an hour away from town. An old school dam and swimming with the family up at Grande Ronde Lake and a huge buck at a main intersection here in town!!!!

Morgan Lake. When you stay at The Story House you get access to beautiful hikes of every difficulty. This particular one is quite easy but very beautiful - just 2 miles up the hill!

Have you heard of Andrea's Kitchen? We hadn't either until this weekend.
On our way to float the Grande Ronde River, we stopped at Minam and discovered this awesome food truck!

Their original location is in Walla Walla, WA. But their Minam location provided deliciously spiced meats. They even provide vegan and gluten free options!
I loved their gyro. So delicious!

The backstory is an interesting one if you want to check out their website at www.andraeskitchen.com

We will be having a special "guest" through the summer.
Come get your shave ice!

Our yard is still a work in progress but we're happy to say that Spring is here!!!! Let the planting commence!

About a year ago, we were walking on the MERA Trails and figuring out how serious we wanted to be about CGS Ventures.
Fortunately, we had our advisory team with us to help guide our decisions. As you can see, they were young, but passionate.
They guided us well.

One of the goals we had when opening The Story House, was to celebrate other wild and entrepreneurial spirits.
Today, we're celebrating Maddie Ford and her company, Blackbird Photography.

Please take a moment step out of the fear that feels so rampant right now and into positivity.

We are pleased to introduce Madeline Ford to you. She embodies an awesome combination of creativity and business acumen. Here are a couple of the stories she captured recently plus a celebration of her creativity and business.

Here's a little blog from back in November when we were JUST getting started and weeks away from our first guest.
Cheers to all you adventuresome spirits out there! We're right there with you.

We're a little afraid of all the unknowns that will happen while making our vision come to life.
