Saltese, population 40, is located 95 miles west of Missoula and 95 miles east of Spokane. Coeur d'Alene is just 65 miles to its west. A Saltese Bed and Breakfast will not be available, until this inn is complete. However, there is a six room motel on the I-90 access road. Two exits to the west of Saltese is the Lookout Pass Ski area, and one exit west of Saltese is one of two entrances to the Hiawatha Trail. That trail has recently been linked with the even longer Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, which winds along the St. Regis River for about 60 miles. One exit to the east of Saltese is the 10,000 Silver Dollar Restaurant, Casino and Gift Shop (Montana's largest). They also have a truck stop. This Saltese Bed and Breakfast will be the closest B&B to all of the above. Glacier National Park is north of Saltese, Yellowstone National Park is south, the National Bison Range is northeast, and an ancient grove of massive cedars is northwest. The site of this Saltese Bed and Breakfast is conveniently located to all of the above, as well as Wallace, ID and the entire Silver Valley, which is only a half hour away. Just "next door" is the town of Kellogg, which boasts of having the world's longest gondola. Numerous gold and silver rush cemetaries and watering holes are in this area, as are various museums, including a free one on minerals in Wallace. There are also mining tours available for modest fees. By this B&B is being developed on the old St. Lawrence Lode gold and silver mines site, which was opened in the late 1800's and operated for over 40 years.
