Great location on the water with great views! Easy check in, & staff was very kind & caring. We appreciated that they had quiet hours enforced to make sure their guests aren't disturbed. Very thoughtful!! Room was cute & updated & decorated well.
The road noise is unavoidable since it's close to the highway but luckily, wearing earplugs & having 2 fans helped to drown it out. And I think they forgot to clean the shower since a handful of long black hair was left on the tile wall, but I understand if they forgot. Everyone's human- I forget things too, so it's ok. :-)

Fresh and clean suite with a generous shared space. Kitchen was well set up, we appreciated the coffee/tea maker. The property is right on the water, there's an entrance for small personal watercraft and fire pits. Great location for access to the southern area of Olympic National Park. We were pleasantly surprised.
Our ground floor suite views of the lake were largely obscured by RVs. No shelf space in the bathroom. The turnoff is right off a main road, we had to take extra care with our toddler.

Clean, updated, large room with a balcony right on the water. I really enjoyed the balcony and the 180 degree view of the water and mountains. Free parking in front of the room and the staff person was great. The bathroom was well stocked. The room had a refrigerator and microwave.
The unit is right on the main highway and the traffic noise was constant. Also, the mattress was super soft and bouncy.

Loved the location, waking up to the sunrise over the canal was awesome. The room was comfortable.
A small playground for kiddos would be a bonus.

evening front desk Kay awesome helping me. In the lodge, room very spacious and upgraded. a homey feel but 1st class. Super deck with lake view. Bed with topper was so very comfortable. Loved the very large TV and that it swiveled with channel list helpful.
I spent 2 ½ hrs getting lost trying to find correct hwy. The afternoon front desk was no help with directions. All she had to do was to make sure I was driving on 101 NORTH not 101 SOUTH. Finally Kay the early evening front desk gave me correct directions. It’s very imp all staff members should have written knowledge of hwys and directions.
She should have known I needed to be driving on 101 NORTH not SOUTH, then imp to take the 1st Shelton exit but NOT the 2nd exit and to continue straight on 8. My map did not show this. I spent unnecessary wasted time ending up in down town Shelton.

Very big room with kitchen area and a balcony with a beautiful view to the lake.
There was a common room with some board games as well.
It was rainy and fall when we visited, but it seemed like the lake side would be nice to enjoy in the summer.
The only thing I can think of is that it would've been nice if we could've changed quarters because a lot was needed to do laundry. It was kind of a hassle to drive around the small town and not being able to get some. But otherwise it was great that they had laundry facilities. Maybe if we weren't European, we would've been better prepared with quarters :)
