Built in 1915 by the Export Lumber Company, The Osprey Inn has lent its structure to a variety of uses. Originally it was a boarding house for lumberjacks. In the 1930s and 1940s, the ground floor served as the local hospital. The Osprey Inn opened in November of 1994. Though the exterior has remained relatively unchanged since 1915, and some interior architectural details remain, the
guest rooms are newly constructed. Each
guest room features a tasteful combination of new and antique
furniture, old fashioned wallpaper, and period decor. All
guest rooms have
private bathrooms with
showers. The Osprey Inn also offers a
Bike barn for the storage and protection of your
bikes, and ample
parking for guests on overnight trail rides. A serene lake view from the picture window. The Inn's spacious dining-common
room with its adjoining porch is perfect for

By the turn of the century, the little town of Harrison (founded 1891), was a bustling timber town of 2000 people and 11 lumber mills. An important aspect of life and industry in early Harrison was the busy steamboat trade. Until the 1920's, Lake Coeur d'Alene boasted the most extensive lake steamboat system west of the Great Lakes. With the coming of the railroad, steamboats were no longer economically viable. Eventually most of the big boats were burned and scuttled. In 1917, a fire swept through Harrison, destroying much of the town. The first house built in Harrison, the Crane House, survived and is now the local museum. Over the years, fewer trees to harvest and increased efficiency in the timber industry meant a gradually decreasing population for Harrison, which now stands at about 230 residents.
