We had a wonderful stay at the lake. Amazing hiking at Lewis river, cruised the lake and fished on the pontoon boat, swam under the waterfall, and just relaxed on the decks. It very comfortably fit our group of 11. Thank you for sharing this lovely property with us!

This house is stunning. We spent 3 nights with 9 people in early August. Our first full day was sunny and warm so we played on the lake the whole day. The water toys were great fun. The next day rained all day so it was cards, books and lots of cooking. We did not see another person the entire time. Magical, highly recommend and hope to return.

An awesome place; clean and exactly as described! Jean, the property manager, was very communicative and responsive. Big family meals and a grand time at the lake. Loved the access to hiking trails and Ape Cave is a must do for the adventurous. We had a fantastic time.

Perfect Place

The house was fabulous and spacious! We had 11 family members and it was totally stocked with everything we needed. We felt right at home and enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and great porch deck and scenery right out the back door. The lake was beautiful and we took the canoe to the waterfall! Very calm and peaceful and no problems! Greatest vacation yet for us who have never traveled to the Pacific Northwest! Thank you!

Most Memorable!

We sought a special place to celebrate a milestone birthday weekend with family, and this home exceeded all expectations: super spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. There are some unique aspects to being "off the grid" that can be a bit tricky (e.g. heat provided by gas wall units and fireplace), but the property manager was immediately responsive to help us understand/solve the minor challenges we had. The location is a bit remote, but SPECTACULAR and very convenient to the sights and hikes around Mt. St. Helens.

Great Bachlaextravangza for the bride to be!

My friend is a total outdoors, mountains, lakes, hiking enthusiast. This was the perfect bachelorette excursion with 10 friends. Plenty of sleeping accommodations, beautiful deck and large indoor areas. Access to water, floating dock and many other water toys including the pontoon boat we rented. BEAUTIFUL place, highly recommend. I may be bringing my family back here.

Amazing 50th birthday

Our stay was amazing! The environment was serene and relaxing. Lodge was outstanding, had everything we needed for cooking and enjoying the lake. It might be helpful for future guests to know that you have a ladder you need to be able to navigate to get to the water and would highly recommend an all wheel drive to get to the property.

Great Visit at the Lake Lodge

Our family group of 15 spent three great days at the Lodge. The beautiful log construction is impressive, offering plenty of deck and inside options for relaxing. Vast counter space in the well-stocked kitchen. Inflatable dock and floaties offer fun on the lake which was a perfect temperature for swimming and floating. We had some confusion regarding sleeping space, but the current on-line description is accurate.

Excellent lake house

Incredible location on the lake. The house was clean and well equipped. Climbing down to the lake is a rather steep hill so may be difficult for the elderly or very young. It's wonderful that some water toys and small boats are included in the rental, but they were in rather bad shape when we rented, hopefully they have been replaced or repaired.

Wonderful Lodge and Experience

We had a family reunion with three generations present.The Lodge was ideally set up for all of us. There were enough things to do to keep everybody connected and entertained. Two of the days there were cold and cloudy. The Lodge was cozy and there was ample fire-wood to provide warmth and ambience. The kitchen was so well stocked that we were able to enjoy some elaborate meals for the whole family. It was incredibly peaceful and there was only one other boat out on the water in all three days we were there. The location is beautiful. We had no problems navigating the drive-way and there was ample parking space for our five vehicles. We would highly recommend this place.

It was the perfect get-a-way for our family!

It was utterly amazing. The house was better than it was portrayed to be. It was very well stocked and it held our family of 16! If you like a country feel and away from the crowds this is the place to go. The land is steep and probably not a good fit for the very old. We loved our stay....some of the grandkids wanted us to buy it!! LOL!
