In 1946 Roselea Triggs & her husband, Harry Long purchased Copper Creek. It had been a lunch counter and garage. 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.

"Your hospitality, generosity, and helpfulness have insured that we will never forget our stay here. Thank you for helping us to have a very romantic honeymoon!" Maria and Mark
