It was a really lovely room in a cute lodge! The lake front area was a great spot to relax and it was conveniently close to shops. The unit was spacious and clean. The street was very quiet, a great place and area! Parking was super convenient and the hosts were great at communicating - they even left me a handwritten note which was so so sweet! I would definitely stay again!

A hidden gem!

Wonderfully appointed property from the studio to the outdoor activities. We found the studio to be quiet, clean and comfortable. The property grounds are a dream with a BBQ area, fire pit area, grassy area leading to the dock and water! We did not want to leave.

Loved it

We were in town to see our son, first time in the Pacific Northwest. Staying at the Inn was an excellent choice--beautiful lakefront location w/ access to the dock and amenities, a well-appointed studio apartment with full kitchen and bath, and easy access to local amenities. Friendly and quiet. I'm hoping it will be available for our next trip!

Solo Traveler

Nice cozy room rental with comfortable bed. It was clean and in a nice location. No A/C, but opening a window let in very nice cool evening air. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience when communicating with the on-site manager. It's unnerving as a single woman traveling solo when there is no timely communication with the on-site manager. However, the owners were very responsive and I appreciated that. Also, I was unfamiliar with this type of lodging. The front door to the home stays open 24/7 with individual rooms/apartments on the inside. Not bad, just unexpected as I did not understand that when reading the posting/reviews. Again, traveling solo, I would probably not stay in this type of lodging again. This is simply a personal preference and to inform others who might not be familiar with this type of lodging.

The room was cute and the location on the lake was nice but there was no air conditioning and no preparation or concessions for hot days aside from a couple small fans. This room is legitimately in the attic of this building, so it was HOT! When we arrived, the temperature on the wall said our room was 90 degrees, and after running fans for nearly an hour at 10pm, it was still 87 degrees. We ended up driving to Walmart, buying a freestanding AC unit at 11pm at night, and finally getting the room down to a livable temperature after midnight. We also never received the check in instructions or door code from VRBO and had to contact the on-site host and the owner to get into our room late that evening. It’s on the third floor, and the staircase is NARROW so be prepared to haul your stuff up 5 flights of stairs to bake in the attic. We offered the owner to buy the AC unit from us so they’d have a way to cool it for future guests, they opted not to (it was brand new 300), so if there’s going to be warm weather, be prepared to sweat it out. The lake is pretty, but local kids not staying at this venue took over the dock a couple times and made it difficult to enjoy the space. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it for a summer trip, and likely wouldn’t stay here again, even with the AC. The on-site host Tiffani was very nice and responsive, but the property and room overall are showing signs of wear and neglect and need some love.

My son and I were in town for a lacrosse tournament, and this was the perfect place for our stay. The room was cozy, clean, well stocked, etc. The on-site hosts were lovely. The back yard and the lake are incredible! The water craft that are available to use made it so fun, although they could use a few more oars. There is no AC, but the breeze coming off the lake kept it very comfortable in the room. We absolutely loved our stay, and we would absolutely book again.

We found this studio to be wonderful and comfortable! The views are great, and the property itself is worth a stroll, many visual treats. The room is super clean, and Ron is an excellent host. The only draw back for me is a bad knee, so the stairs were hard to navigate up and down 3 flights. We will definitely book again if we're back in the area (on a lower floor), and highly recommend it!

We had a great stay. We loved being able to cook our own meals, the place was very quiet, and having free access to kayaks and the beautiful lake was a bonus! Not far from great waterfall hikes and Mt. Rainier National Park.

The studio was perfect for us. I need a kitchen to cook safe, gluten-free meals while traveling. In addition, the bed was really comfortable. We had enough room for the two of us for a week, and we enjoyed the firepit outside near the lake one evening. We'll book again next time we visit our daughter.

As expected for price

The views from this property are lovely, check in and checkout were seamless, and communication was easy. My only complaint would be that the whole place smells like cat urine which was so strong that people commented on my clothes smelling like cat urine when I would go to work. Its not just the unit I stayed in, the halls and stairwells did as well.
