Lakewood, Washington
Charming lakefront building built in 1903 as a boys gymnasium, converted into 12 separate apartment units in the 1950's. This studio unit, with a sitting area separated by a kitchen. The unit is located on the 3rd floor and has spectacular views of the lake. There is no elevator, you will need to climb 3 flights to reach the unit. The last flight of stairs is narrow.
Originally a gymnasium for a boys' school, this charming 12-unit apartment complex, sits on a spacious lakefront lot, in a residential neighborhood.
This is on the 3rd floor, a studio unit sleeps 2 with 1 bathroom with shower (no bathtub). A small living room with water view and a kitchen. The last set of stairs to the 3rd floor are narrow.
This unit has fantastic views and all the comfort of a home. No elevator in the building. To reach unit, it is necessary to climb stairs.
The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas stove, toaster, coffee maker (coffee, tea, hot chocolate), and a fridge. Pancake mix and basic cooking necessities (oil, some spices) are provided for your convenience.
There is a small deck, on the 3rd floor right outside the unit with amazing views.
A canoe and kayaks are available for your use. Life vests must be used . The canoe and kayaks need to be brought back on land and left where found. All other water toys belong to our tenants, please do not use them.
The dock, and the common areas are shared by the tenants. This again is a 12 unit building with no elevator.
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.
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!
Great communication and beautiful location! Studio was very clean and comfortable Worked perfect for us!
Great value and great location .
Nice place to stay.
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
