About

It’s amazing where a dream can lead you.

Barbara, the family Matriarch, retired from her job in the city to pursue a dream. The dream of owning and running a motel in a rural, off the beaten path town. Looking for something small, but big enough her family could come visit. She moved 600 miles away from her home and family to chase that dream. In 2008, she purchased the White Bird Motel, and the dream had materialized. Since then, she has dedicated many years and made countless friends on this wild west adventure. Many changes have occurred since then. In 2014, building started on three beautiful cabins, to update part of the motel. A year later, with a lot of hard work from both the local community and family, the cabins were completed, adding a new dimension to the mix. In 2021, the remaining rooms were given a face-lift with a remodel, with the help of family and friends. Even as the Matriarch is slowing down, her children have stepped in to keep the dream alive. Family teamwork is our magic. Something Barbara instilled in her children from the beginning. The story doesn’t stop there. In 2024, an RV Park was added to the business, conveniently located next door to the motel. 

 Her mission has always been guest oriented. Together we strive to make this a fun inviting place for families and friends to gather to celebrate, adventure, or just relax and take in the beauty of the place. We hope everyone can enjoy her legacy as much as we do.
