It was a really lovely room in a cute lodge! The lake front area was a great spot to relax and it was conveniently close to shops. The unit was spacious and clean. The street was very quiet, a great place and area! Parking was super convenient and the hosts were great at communicating - they even left me a handwritten note which was so so sweet! I would definitely stay again!

Solo Traveler

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!

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!

As expected for price

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.

Steilacoom Lake Property

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

Lori J.

Acceptable

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.
