Perfect Location & Beautiful Setting!

This was a wonderful place to stay while we visited the towns and friends from my husband’s high school days. Everything was so clean and we had everything we needed! The views are incredible and my husband loved telling me about the sights. Our host, Judy, was quick to respond and so helpful. (Thank you again) We will be back!

Beautiful place to stay

It’s an amazing place to stay. I would stay here again. Please note it’s a very steep road which is paved up to the top. And there are stairs that lead to the third floor so you want to be comfortable on stairs. But the view and the room are absolutely incredible.

Cozy studio with amazing view well located

We enjoyed a 3 night stay and exploring the towns of southern Washington. Our lodging was comfortable and well stocked with great access to the freeway. It would be so much fun to return during summer months and use the outdoor seating areas. Highly recommend this place to stay.

I wish we would have known there were 32 steps up to the suite. The owner did offer to help my husband but he said he could do it by himself. Other than that we really enjoyed our time there. It is a great “base camp” to explore Mt. St. Helens!

Clean & Cozy Retreat

So much better than a hotel. We found the host most responsive, the property beautifully maintained, and all the little details anticipated and provided for. The views of the river below were most interesting with various watercraft passing by both day and night. We will definitely book again the next time we are up in the area.

Peaceful Retreat

Great location. Incredible views. We could have sat in the chairs all day watching the river traffic. It was mesmerizing! The apartment was cozy and very comfortable. Only drawback was the noise from the train and highway. Not unbearable but noticeable. This was my first visit to this property but it won’t be my last.
