Summer fun on Ames Lake

We wanted a private PNW lake getaway and we found it! We swam, sat by the fire pit, paddleboarded, fished and tooled around in our electric boat while totally decompressing. If you want fancy or modern, this is not your place. If you want a quiet place with no frillls and an awesome lake front stay, here it is.

Great location on the lake and well located for the wedding we were attending in Monroe. Reasonably well equipped kitchen. For 4 or more only 1 bathroom can lead to a queue but it’s hardly a major issue. 6 nights. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The property is amazing and absolutely beautiful. I love that there are several different options as to where to sit outside (patio, yard bench overlooking the lake, the fire pit on the lake and the lake dock. Tooling around the lake on the pontoon was relaxing (and I'm not a water person). My family loved fishing off the pontoon as well as jumping off of it into the water with our dog. Kim was a fabulous host. Answered my texts promptly and was very accommodating. Kim you have a heart of gold to open your home to folks to allow them to experience the slice of heaven you get to experience daily. I would definitely book again.

This place is really awesome. The owner was very helpful. The lake was clean and the property provided life jackets, a paddle boat and had a boat for rent. We spent a week and and would go back again. Just a few things- nothing negative just be aware you will need some good backing skills for the driveway. It’s totally doable but for our big SUV, it was a little tight. And- if you plan to spend some time and use this as a base camp- please do yourself a favor and plan at least one lake day. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and the doc area that’s provided has a place for campfire hotdogs and smores.

Good location, great host but the property is dated

The good: Great location- right on a beautiful lake. The host provides access to boats. Kim is very helpful, and easy to reach. The house is in a nice little community- good place to relax with family/friends, hike, boat, etc. The appliances seemed to be working fine. There was hot water. The not so good: The property is very old with a weird layout. There is unsecured storage area in one side of the property. Everything in the house is very dated. The written instructions by owner for sleeper couch literally said it can slice through sheets. Coffee mugs were dirty. No dishwasher.

Fun Place to Stay on a Work Trip

Five of us from my small business in Montana traveled over for gymnastics training at our Region 2 Congress. The Ames Lake house was a fun and relaxing place to stay. Even though we were gone and busy all day, we liked sitting on the dock in the evening, and the kitchen was adequate for cooking our breakfasts and dinners. We slept well. Thanks for a great stay!
