Perched alongside the Kettle River, Orient, Washington, is a small community in northeastern Ferry County. From picturesque lakes, stunning mountains and gorgeous parks, the area features the kind of terrain and vistas that outdoor enthusiasts crave. The wilderness is still wild in this part of the country so fishing and hunting opportunities are plentiful. Because Orient is hardly a tourist town, lodging is scarce. However, the surrounding area offers hotels that mix comfort with the spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
Lazy Daze Retreats
Easily the most charming destination on this list is Lazy Daze Retreats. Lazy Daze offers three options for travelers looking to experience rustic accommodations. Eagle's Nest Lodge sits near the Columbia River and is large enough to accommodate an entire family. The Columbia Cottages are old-fashioned cabins with modern conveniences that feature three different pricing and size tiers. Lazy Daze's jewel is the Bed and Breakfast Log Cabin. Also located on the riverbank, this classic log cabin offers a comfortable setting and even boasts a game room with pinball machines.
