Idle-a-While Motel

Amanda Burgar received a patent on the land where Idle-a-While sits in 1898.  H.C. Glover had platted the current downtown area of Twisp in 1897 and called it Gloversville.   Amanda then platted a townsite next to Gloversville and on the section just south of where Idle-a-While is now in 1899 and named it Twisp.  After that the name Twisp stuck for the whole town.

AP Burgar owned this property which included the Twisp River and up to the land owned by WJ Byrns.
