The set up is nice with plenty of parking around and along the streets and in the parking lots out back. The bathrooms were very clean and roomy. There are several large sections so you may breakup into different areas depending on your event. They catered the dinner, and it was wonderful! The Bartender, she was very helpful and mixed drinks perfectly! All the staff was professional and friendly! It was my first event at the Loft and look forward to the next one.

Horrible!! If your even thinking about having a event here…read moreanytime between may and Sept they DO NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING! ITS AWFUL. So hot and confined. Went to a candlelight concert and almost got heat stroke. Was sick for hours after. You cant see any of the farm from tge barn either. They offered no beverages especially water. Horrible experience. No trees and Tenino is very hot in the summer to offer a venue for this price with no air!! Nothing special about this barn or farm. Rip off!

DON'T MISS THIS GEM! We went exploring the Willapa Valley…read moretoday; we wanted to find this farm/creamery because we found an article about them in Southwest Washington magazine. The most obvious sign is the blue "Tourist attraction" sign, and we drove up the drive looking forward to cheese tasting. We were unable to taste today, but for A VERY GOOD REASON. The farm is undergoing some work, and the super-nice owners came out and showed us around and talked for quite a while about their plans to make the farm and venue even more available to people, so be patient. They have live music monthly, the barn upstairs is a lovely room for your event, and they have plans to expand their food offerings when construction is finished. Even though they weren't technically open, they did sell us some cheeses - which are fabulous - and we will definitely be going back. Often! This would be a great outing for visitors to the area, too.

We went to the Southwest Washington Fairgrounds to go to the 2023 Garlic Festival…read more As far as the fairgrounds go I don't have any qualms with the space. Parking was relatively easy to get in and out of. There are colored zones to pay attention to so you know on which side you parked at. I don't know how well it's managed during an actual fair because I am more urban in that sense and would just as soon go to the fair in Puyallup but for festivals like the ine we went to it seemed to fit the bill nicely. The Garlic Festival itself has it's own Yelp entry which I have a review for from several years ago but that entry is listed as closed probably due to the festival being inactive during the pandemic. The festival has changed since I was last there. They have a lot of food with garlic, vendors selling garlic and other things you would see at a farmer's market but they also had a whole building at the fairgrounds playing up the relationship vampires have with garlic so there were a lot of vendors in this part of the festival that specialized in more Goth type art, gear and household decor (and more) which I really, really enjoyed. Forbidden Love was the name of this sector of the fair I believe. Yes, the Garlic Festival seems to bring in more attendees each year but it seems like the fairgrounds here are still a suitable place to have this size of festival.

Review from August 2023…read more I like garlic. Do you like garlic? Well, you won't find the fair lacking. There's a place that boasts a "Mega" Philly cheesesteak for $14, which I didn't think was mega and don't think was worth the cost. Maybe that was the mega part. That being said, it was a good cheesesteak. Not great, but good. This place does have good garlic fries. I had Uncle Joe's last year, they make their own sausages, which are very good, and they had great garlic fries. I think my favorite thus far is the Frying Dutch Girl. Other than food, there are livestock, chicken/ roosters, etc. There are rides (of course) notably a Ferris wheel which is good romantic excursion at sunset. The grandstand is where a lot of the product vendors are. A/C vendors, soap and beauty products (the Cocosheama booth stood out to me), cutlery from CutCo , Tupperware (I didn't realize that brand was still a thing), jewelry, etc. There is also a booth that has multiple businesses (Strong Tower painting & siding, Azurguard Roofing, Alpha Y La Omega landscaping and Bethel Remodel), she was super nice There are also Republican Party booths, a VA booth looking for signatures for a petition to reopen a closed location (I signed). There's a booth that educates in gun rights (it is helpful info) All in all, great fun. Hot days that are cooling down. Stop by.

I recently rented the Red Barn Studios to provide for our father's funeral reception. The Red Barn…read moreStudios team was so helpful, professional, and easy to work with. Their attention to detail and flexibility was incredible. Clearly the space is amazing, the old barn has a lovely air of warmth, and welcoming space . Such a beautiful venue and surrounding grounds! The layout of the barn is wonderful for a variety of events. The space upstairs and downstairs are both amazing. Lots of natural light due to all of the windows and lets a gentle breeze float through the barn. Simple elements such as willow trees and apple trees around the property, and an occasional chicken policing the grounds, make it all feel so natural. Laurie and Jason are wonderful genuine people who are have created a wonderful site for a variety of events; receptions ,weddings, corporate or family events. They were transparent and clear about the process, pricing, and space. They worked closely with all our vendors. Located just off of I-5, the Red Barn, has great parking, clean well maintained facilities and associated equipment (tables, chairs, etc.). Our guests and friends were all pleasantly were surprised and amazed that such a great space is located in Chehalis. From a price point the Red Barn is very economical and worth the price. I highly recommend the Red Barn Studios if you are looking for a venue for your event.

We stopped in Chehalis for the night and were looking for a good dinner spot. While there were…read moreplenty of chain options nearby, we prefer to try something different when we can--and Ocean Prime turned out to be a great choice. We initially walked in just to look at the menu, and everything sounded good enough that we decided to stay. It felt like a nice dinner restaurant, even though it wasn't very busy, which makes sense for a smaller town. Ray ordered the chef salad with blue cheese dressing and a bowl of French onion soup. I ordered the Thai chicken wings, and they were absolutely delicious. The sauce was full of flavor, and the wings were not skimpy at all--large, meaty, and very satisfying. There were about six wings, and I couldn't even finish them all. The French onion soup was impressive--not basic at all, with a more elevated, "fancy" flavor profile. The salad was fresh, crisp, and well prepared. You can definitely tell there's a good chef in the kitchen. Our server, Maria, was excellent--very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was very quiet ! If we ever pass through Chehalis again, this will definitely be a place we return to. Highly recommend giving it a try.

I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant to stay at a Mcmenamins bc of the shared bathroom…read moresituation. Lucky for us, the other room was unoccupied so really we got the bathroom to ourselves! (Looking back, I don't think I would book this hotel during busy days bc the bathroom situation is too weird for me!) THAT BEING SAID, I'm glad we gave this place a chance! Service was great! From check in to check out! We felt taken care of. The building itself has SO MUCH history! It was very cool to learn about it and walk around. Wish we got there early enough to have a drink at the bar but we were pooped when we arrived! Very cool and I'd recommend just bc or the experience!
