The very friendly and helpful owners have created a lovely small, cozy inn. the decor was fun and antique eclectic. There is a beautiful view of Foster Lake across the road. There is a nice walking path along the lake shore. Next door to the inn is an excellent restaurant.

We were very pleased with the cleanliness. A lot of thought and planning went into the curated decor of historic memorabilia. Outstanding rustic display of collections. Doll collection, mirror with ice skates hanging from peg. Treadle sewing machine. Stack of old suitcases. All items were brilliantly displayed. Every need was thought of. A small two door refrigerator, microwave & Kcup coffee maker. Two bathrobes and ample linens. Mini-split AC unit was efficient in the sitting room with the 95+ temp outside. The use of a standing fan helped to get that nice cool air to circulate through the bedroom. Bathroom door stuck, hard to close but not an issue for us. The charm far outweighed any “issues”. Still would rate at five stars. We lost the lock code card when it slipped out of my hand and slid down the wall disappearing behind the baseboard trim - out of site.

I enjoyed reading about the History of Foster, Sweet ahome and the surrounding area. As I enjoyed my wandering the area, fishing, kayaking and Dining in the area. I would also like to recommend the Point for Dining and the little Dam Bar for drinks, meals and entertainment... As you wander, pay attention to little things like the architecture and area businesses... All of it can carry you back to a more laid back and easy time in our historic State of Oregon. Our stay at the Inn was awesome as it proved to be a fantastic jump off point and accomodations as we wandered. The majority of the Locals were exceptionally friendly and genuinely intrigued by some of my questions about the area I highly recommend a stay at the Foster Lake Inn ... I know we'll be back again.
