Great studio lodging. Very roomy with comfortable bed. Cute little kitchen even came with pancake mix and syrup along with drip coffee maker and frig. Nice view through the trees of the lake.

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.

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!

What a great property manager who lives on site. It was tranquil and restful. I will definitely return for longer than 3 days!

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.

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.

This place was awesome, the host was amazing as well. My daughter's visited me while I stayed as well as my girlfriend and the owner was very understanding. The property is beautiful and if you get the chance take you or the kids on the canoe, it was well worth it

The room was very nice and very clean. The bed was comfortable. There was a little bit of a smell when you walked into the main building, but that went away when you got into the room. There were kayaks, canoes and paddle boards to use. You can’t beat the price. If the owners wanted to spiff up the place, they could paint the outside of the place and replace the carpet on the stairs. Our room was great

The property was nice and the unit is located on a nice lake but the building needs to be updated (painted, carpet, floors finished, secure balcony, etc). Our unit needed some decorating TLC also so it looks more presentable (rugs, a bed skirt, etc.) but those things aren’t a deal breaker. It was nice to be within walking distance of a plaza in case we needed anything. Overall, it was “okay” but I probably wouldn’t stay there again unless it is updated.

We'll be back again Ron! Thanks for a very memorable trip!!!

This little room is perfect if you need an affordable, quiet and peaceful place to stay. I'm a bit of a clean freak, so I would have preferred some of the cupboards/closets been cleaner, but it didn't ruin our stay. Over all a very nice experience.

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.

The apartment was a little warn but very nice. There was a problem with the booking and I only had 2 days instead of the 4 that I was suppose to have. A problem with Vrbo and AirBnb. The owner tried to help but was doubled booked. The tenant landlord was very nice and helpful. I would stay there again. For the price it is a great place to stay if only for the lake front area.
