Current Professional Project: The Spokane Haven is a guest house for travelers. A very popular guest favorite!

This guest cottage is on the grounds of one of the grand old houses on South Hill in Spokane. Having recently purchased this 120 year old house in Spokane, I have my work cut out for me in fixing it up! I am learning new things every day about old house maintenance. Hosting is a wonderful profession for me, and providing an outstanding guest experience is truly gratifying.

People are saying: …”Karen’s place was a great location, easy on and off from the freeway and just a few blocks from Huckleberry’s. The place was cute, clean, and had off street parking. It was a delightful place to stay.…”

Past Project: The Wallace Haven, another guest favorite!

A delightful, romantic getaway cottage in the extraordinary town of Wallace, Idaho. Ideally located between two ski resorts; Silver Mountain and Lookout Pass. For those who enjoy biking in the summertime, the Hiawatha Trail is close by. The house is extremely comfortable with plenty of space for four guests and all their gear.

Here are a few of my paintings that depict the Wallace cottage and the surrounding areas.
