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.

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!

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.
