Ample space inside the barn for a party over 100. Our son had a wedding there in Sept. Kitchen is a little tight & the oven wasn't cleaned so we had a temporary smoke issue upon firing it up. Two fridges. But overall the venue was perfect and spacious with a unique setting that made us happy to have our kids experience the perfect wedding. If you're creative- you'll love it. They also had lots of decor and amenities to spruce up the interior. Separate changing room inside. Owners are very friendly and responsive. Please respect them and don't abuse the property if you select it. Logistics can be challenging if you're not a Castle Rock or other local. But it's doable and we proved that. We found a mobile bartender; Castle Rock restaurant cater it - and were able to find a DJ and a pastor willing to accommodate us. If you're worried about weather - you can make it work. As long as you're under 150 total folks I believe. But if the weather is good- it's perfect.

Not only were the flowers exquisite, the delivery arrived around noon! My aunt LOVED them. I chose the 'florist choice' for a medium sized bouquet and mentioned she liked orchids and proteas. Again, since I placed the order so close to the delivery date, I didn't expect them to have those exact flowers on hand. They did, and the arrangement was just beautiful! This is the only shop I'm going through for future floral deliveries! I wish I would've found them sooner!

Megan does a great job instructing everyone and Jeff is great at supplying everyone's painting needs - brushes, paint, clean water, etc. Great venue for a girls' night out or even a date night!

I highly recommend this evening of fun for any artistic skill level!

A group of us stayed here for a weekend so that we could play on Mount St. Helens. I chose Helens…read moremotel since it is located 1-1/2 hours away in each direction of my chosen hikes. I reserved four (4) rooms by making a phone call to Ellen. A deposit was not required to hold my rooms. I reserved my rooms in March for a stay in October. After I hung up with Ellen, Ellen emailed me a confirmation of my reservation. Through email, Ellen was able to assist me with any further questions that I had such as: dining recommendations and outdoor adventures. Upon check-in, full payment is required. Discover is an accepted form of payment. The total price of our room for a Friday and Saturday night was $147.40. Helens is a motel, meaning that amenities are slim. The ice machine is located in the lobby. Complimentary coffee, donuts and daily newspapers are also located in the lobby. The lobby closes at 10pm so be sure to get your ice before closing time. None of us had any problems connecting to the internet via our phones during our stay. Our room, 204 (located on the 2nd level) was clean and suited our purposes perfectly. It was a blast from the past to use an actual door key to our room since most establishments use key cards. Our room had two queen sized beds, a mini-fridge, microwave and a flat-screen TV (unable to connect out our Amazon Fire TV Stick). Hygiene product isn't offered (shampoo only) so be sure to bring yours from home. Room 204 looks out over the parking lot and highway. The parking lot is quite large with a good deal of parking available. I loved looking outside in the early morning and witnessing a full lot. Since the rooms aren't meant for large groups of people, we all brought our own chairs, a couple of tables, a propane heater and games that we set up outside to further enjoy each others company. There are a few restaurants withing walking distance of Helens which is nice after a day of playing hard and driving several hours. Thank you Helens for offering a clean establishment for us all to rest our weary bones after playing hard in your backyard. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to future stays. Mount St. Helens is a temperamental beauty.

It seems the business owner has a few different things going on- photography, apparel, flowers, sandwiches, and coffee. I love supporting local small business owners getting up and running and was eager to give this place a try. That being said, I was pretty disappointed by the taste of the coffee- the actual coffee itself tasted more like pinto beans and it was way overly sweetened. We ended up taking a few sips and then dumping them out. I got a poppyseed muffin as well which was good, I do believe that was outsourced. The ambiance of the place left a lot to be desired- it is located in the iconic old town St- Helens in an old bank. Inside it was pretty cluttered and lined with plants and other items from local businesses for sale. I don't plan on coming back here, it was not to my taste, not worth my money, and was lacking in that cozy coffee shop vibe. It seems popular with many other folks around- just not for me.

It's kind of a shop that is a jack of all trades. They do flowers, coffee, have cute merch and so much more. I love that for Halloween they had it all done up like Little Shop of Horrors, considering they are a florist shop first and foremost. I was feeling a little sluggish so I ordered a huckleberry vanilla latte. Iced of course. It was absolutely delicious! I loved it! We came in another time during the festivities and they were reaching a cute painting class. Such a cute place and a can't miss when you visit St Helens!
