Living next to Mica Event Hall has been incredibly frustrating. During events, guests regularly…read morecome onto our property, chase our chickens, park up and down the road making it difficult for residents to get through, and even drive into our driveway. It has become a repeated problem that seriously affects the surrounding neighbors. What is even more concerning is that, to our knowledge, the building still does not have a proper occupancy approval, despite concerns being brought to the county multiple times. Nothing meaningful seems to have been done to address the situation. As far as we can tell, there are also no wheelchair-accessible restrooms available for guests, only portable toilets outside. We understand people want a place to celebrate events, but there also needs to be responsibility, respect for neighbors, and compliance with basic safety and accessibility standards. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience.

Before booking this venue, I would strongly encourage people to do their own research into whether…read morethis property has actually gone through the proper occupancy and change-of-use review process normally required for large public event spaces. As a nearby resident who became concerned about the volume of events being held at this property, I personally looked into publicly available county and permitting records myself. Based on what I was able to find, I could not locate evidence of a completed change-of-use or occupancy review for converting this type of structure into a large event venue. That is concerning because those reviews exist for important public safety reasons, including evaluating occupancy limits, emergency exits, accessibility requirements, fire protection systems, restroom facilities, parking impacts, and whether a building is actually appropriate for hosting large gatherings. Most people assume that if a business is openly advertising and hosting large public events, then all required inspections, occupancy approvals, and life-safety reviews have already been completed. I would strongly encourage potential customers not to make that assumption and instead ask direct questions about inspections, fire safety systems, occupancy approval, emergency planning, and accessibility accommodations before trusting this property with the safety of their family and guests. If I were spending my hard-earned money on a wedding or major event, those are answers I would absolutely want before booking.

I bragged to my friend before we went and was so embarrassed by the overcooked tough ribs. he wasn't impressed in the least. I'm not wasting my time or money next year. what a rip off.

Buyer Beware. There is an event coming in June called…read more"Discovery Fire". This was actually called From the Ashes. Be careful IF you buy tickets. Here is my experience: I purchased 2 VIP tickets for both Friday & Saturday events. This was to be a gift. A few days before I needed to give this gift, they cancelled the event. (But they did not really cancel. They changed the name "From the Ashes" to "Discovery Fire." I spoke with both people in charge of handling the event (the person who set everything up (From the Ashes) and the Settlers Inn person (Discovery Fire) who is now handling it. I was told that those who only bought the one day are fine but those who bought both days now had to buy again. They would NOT sell me tickets over the phone. They said I would need to go to the website again to purchase tickets. The website charges fees. The refund will not include fees. Not a big deal except I shouldn't have to pay additional fees that I have already paid. Their answer: So sorry. We cannot do anything about it. I am very angry. I have a very short time to try to find another gift for my son. Buyer beware: This event may or may not take place. IF you purchase tickets, they still may cancel the event. Customer service is very lacking. BEWARE: From the Ashes Idaho 2023 is now Discovery Fire, a live fire cooking event by Settlers Creek Events.

This beautifully restored Victorian Mansion was our best B&B experience yet. The room are tastefully decorated in Victorian antiques. Everything from the claw-footed tub in the bathroom to the ornate chandelier in the dining room made us feel like we had stepped back in time. We would love to come back for one of their Victorian high teas. Every course of the full service breakfast was delicious, especially the dutch babies. The staff was great. Heather, the daughter of the owner, is an excellent cook. She made us feel comfortable and welcome. Looking forward to staying here again.

Victorian furniture, stained glass, and an ornate dining room fit for kings. The owner, Mary, was a joy to talk to and made delicious iced tea for us to enjoy in the afternoon as we sat in the Mansion's "Secret Garden." The E.J. Roberts Suite was spacious and inviting (all red decor ... no frilly flowers you find in most B&Bs). The only downsides was that the bathroom was quite small (hard to find a big bathroom in most B&Bs anyway) with the sink outside of the room, and the king sized bed, while extremely comfortable, was really two smaller beds pushed together (we knew that beforehand from the website, and we thought we wouldn't notice, but we kept getting caught between the break). I look forward to trying out some of the other rooms on a future visit. Also, while I heard most visitors got a three or four course breakfast, we started with fruit, then had a breakfast burrito with a side of potatoes. A perfectly satisfying breakfast, but perhaps we should've stayed on a Friday or Saturday to get a full breakfast. But these were all very minor issues. Overall, the Mansion was a great place to stay and well worth the money. I can't wait to see what Mary does with the restaurant she's planning to open next door! Tip: Eat at the Elk Public House for lunch and dinner. Great neighborhood restaurant with outdoor seating. It's right around the corner from the Mansion (a 2 minute walk) and has great wine, beer, and sandwiches (I'm still thinking about how good the Santa Fe Chicken was).

Being a bridesmaid means helping with everything from set-up to take down and this place worked so well for an intimate friends & family gathering. Tables, chairs, a kitchen and stage are all at your disposal. The building IS older, but full of charm...including no less than 5 pianos you can tinker on when you need a break from pouring sparkling cider. The old-timey heaters also work GREAT on keeping the place warm when the outside is suddenly thrown into a bout of winter-wonder-land-ness. From what I understand the rental prices are fair. Cute building, nice location, and all around great place for medium sized gatherings as needed.

For a place that should make people happy, it was quite the disappointment overall…read more Only thing going for this place is their outdoor mini-golf. The only reason being is that it's the only outdoor mini course in Spokane. Staff - The only gal who was working was quite pleasant and tried to make the place fun, while three other guys just looked surly and bored to be there. Arcade - The worst I've played at. Over a third of the games were offline or not working. The ones that we tried either errored out or were claw machines. Beware of the claw machines! I overheard a staff member tell another patron that they are on the highest setting for limited payout. We probably tried one that contained various Sonic characters around 30 times, and still wasn't on payout. Prize Counter - pretty sad looking and only tailored to kids, which I get, but a lot of arcades now tend to have a mixture that would lure adults. If we do come back, it would only be for the outside mini golf, but I would rather drive 40 minutes to go to Triple Plays outside mini golf, along with a decent arcade.
