"Nice and friendly" is beyond an understatement when describing this gentleman. The General Store has so many snacks, I probably spent $60 on all the stuff I ate. I couldn't help myself. You won't be left hungry here. They do close early at 6 on though so use your time wisely! We stayed in Condo 2 and it was absolutely lovely. They even have pots, pans, silverware, dishes and mugs in the kitchen for you to use. Oh! We were so happy to see a griddle! The bathtub is also a jacuzzi! And they had little toiletries for you. Oh, and makeup remover wipes even! Talk about next level thinking! Everything hardware you need for a basic stay is there. It really felt like home. My husband and I are already talking about coming back before the end of the year. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Lance and Shannon!

I just got home from my first experience with Great Wolf Lodge and overall I had a great time!…read more My cousin invited me to stay with her and her daughters as well as her daughters friends at Great Wolf Lodge for her youngest daughters birthday. I'd never been and figured why not as I could use a little getaway. This stay was not without it's issues as there were some things that happened early into our experience that were less than ideal. My family got to Great Wolf Lodge a couple hours before I did as I had to work a bit later than her and when I arrived i heard about a situation that happened in the water park...my cousin instructed her oldest daughter to watch after her little sister and her little sister's two friends who came with them but unfortunately her teenage daughter wasn't paying attention to them quite as well as she was supposed to and the younger girls walked off and after they did, they were looking for my cousin but had a difficult time locating her and my cousin's oldest daughter who was supposed to be watching them while my cousin went to take care of a matter...anyhow, the girls started crying because they couldn't find them but my cousin returned to the water park area just a few moments later and was met with a hostile security guard who had the young girls crying even more as he was yelling at my cousin berating her for not being there watching the kids and she calmly tried to explain that her teenage daughter was supposed to be with them but he just continued with a rant about how they're going to call the police on her and saying that he shouldn't be responsible for having to watch her children when he dosen't even like kids. (Side note: If that's how he feels he should definitely find another job, this family friendly environment clearly is not for this man).. anyhow, while i can understand where he is coming from about no one watching the children for that short time, it was a whole unnecessary and embarrassing experience for my family. Shortly after I arrived and set my stuff down and got my bathing suit on, I ended up meeting up with my cousin's oldest daughter who was just outside of the Waterpark area at the time and she wanted to go back to our room for a bit so we tried the elevator but the elevators in this place are extremely slow so instead we decided to take the stairs to get to the room. On the second floor of the stairwell, there was a man standing in a corner staring at us as we walked by, a few seconds later I turned my head to look back at him and he was still staring at us and smiling in a very unsettling way. Mind you, I was in a bathing suit and she is a very attractive teenage girl wearing a bikini so we knew he was being a creeper. We ended up just taking the elevator downstairs and reported him to the front desk. They couldn't really do much as he didn't say anything to us or try to follow us but they assured us that they would keep an eye on him through video surveillance and would take action if he was making other women and girls uncomfortable. We stayed another night as we didn't want this to be her daughters whole great wolf lodge experience for the youngest daughters birthday and we ended up with a much better experience yesterday as a very sweet employee by the name of Darlene took the time to listen to my cousin about the awful experience with the security guard in the water park and she really made our day! Darlene demonstrated amazing customer service by being present, fully listening to our concerns and showing compassion by offering the girls some birthday pins and getting us set up with the breakfast buffet. We had a nice breakfast and spent some quality family time in the Waterpark as well as the arcade yesterday without any disturbances! We also did the mirror maze and joined in on the family dance party which were fun experiences for the girls. I loved the wave pool as well as the howling tornado in the Waterpark and would like to come back to experience that again! It's definitely no amusement park and it's an overpriced place to stay for what it is but it would still be good place to go with family for one night every now and then...especially if they keep employees like Darlene around !

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.

A magical, soul-soothing escape…read more I can't say enough good things about my stay at Wellspring Spa. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I'd stepped into a hidden forest sanctuary. The land itself is breathtaking--towering trees, soft mossy trails, and peaceful stillness that invites you to breathe deeper and slow down. I spent hours wandering the hiking paths and felt like I was in another world. I stayed in the Tahoma cabin, and wow--it was cozy, peaceful, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. (They must have updated them based on what I have read from previous posts!) Every detail in the space felt intentional and grounding. After a day of exploring, soaking in the outdoor hot tub with that stunning view of the trees was exactly what my body and mind needed. And the lofted sauna? Absolutely the coolest (and warmest!) little gem--such a unique and relaxing experience. What really made this place special, though, was the warmth and kindness of the staff. They were so welcoming, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about creating a healing experience for guests. Also: there's a sweet dog who wanders the grounds and melts your heart--truly the cherry on top. Wellspring isn't just a place to stay--it's a place to remember. I already can't wait to come back.

The rooms were clean and extremely spacious. The view and the sounds of the waves were dreamy. We didn't get a chance to use the pool/hot tub. The resort is close to pretty much everything, we walked to nearly everything we wanted to see in can in beach. We ate at pelican brewing which was great and walkable. Can't wait to come back!!

Although we were seated quickly and had a nice view of Hood Canal, the service and food have not improved. Our waiter was very bland and gave the impression that he wasn't all that interested in being there. My GF had the crab cakes. As you can see in the photo, each was about the size of a fifty-cent piece. So each cost around $20 and were not worth anything close to that. My miso sturgeon was only ok. Dry and without a hint of miso, it was disappointing. The best item was the side Brussels Sprouts. Crisp and tasty. So, the restaurant and resort are well located, and I'm sure the hotel rooms are nice. You just may want to eat elsewhere.

Offut Lake Resort is a fantastic place to spend a few nights. This is a friendly, clean, and…read morewell-ran resort with a true local family feel to it. First of all, the lady at the general store (main office) is incredibly friendly and warm. We stayed in the Angler's Den cabin and called ahead a few times with questions. She answered all of them and was very kind and helpful. The cabin came stocked with pots, plans, dishes, silverware, wine opener/bottler opener and really pretty much everything you would need. The cabin was actually quite large and had a true living room, kitchen (with large refrigerator), bathroom, and separate bedroom. There were multiple TV's within the cabin as well. Plus a large comfortable recliner chair! The cabin also had an air conditioning unit, which was much needed during the month of July. Not all cabins have AC, but most do. Offut Lake Resort is also in a densely wooded area with plenty of tall trees, so the shade throughout the resort keeps it much cooler. Even though the temps were in the high 80's when we were there, it was surprisingly shaded and comfortable throughout. The actual resort is nestled within a few neighborhoods near the lake. It is a quiet area and everyone seemed friendly. It was very safe and we were able to take our one year old son on a few long walks throughout the bordering neighborhoods. The resort has a playground with swings, a basketball court, and a larger grass area for other recreational activities. The general store/main office sells items you might need (or have forgot), and also sells beverages such as soda/juice/beer. The Lady of the Lake Restaurant is fantastic and is truly one of the best things about this small resort. It is incredibly convenient to be able to order takeout food for lunch or dinner from the restaurant and bring it back to your cabin. The restaurant is a short 3-5 minute walk from the camp sites and cabins. All of the food we had there was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The food was higher quality and tastier than what you might find at most bar & grills. Eating at the restaurant is also a nice option, and there is a bar there as well. It is a busy restaurant and seems to be a popular place with the locals. The fish & chips were delicious and something we would recommend! They also had a band play at the restaurant on Friday night. The lake is very scenic and tranquil. It is a shallow lake making it fairly warm and the water seemed clean. There is a small grass beach front area with rock wall that leads down to the lake. There are steps to walk down to get to the lake. We would recommend bringing water socks (or some type of water shoes) because the rocks at the bottom of the lake are a little harder to stand on. We brought sand toys, but then when we got there we realized there was no sand or beach area. Not a big deal at all, but just something to be aware of. It is a great lake to bring floaties to and float around. Next time I go back, I'll bring floaties with an anchor to anchor out in the middle of the lake. You can also fish off the dock or rent boats for the day. This is an underrated lake resort for people in Western Washington! I have lived in the Seattle area my whole life and I've never heard anyone talk about this place! The prices are very reasonable, it is a short trek from the Seattle area, and it feels like a true lake getaway. We stayed for two nights, but it would be easy to spend three or four nights there, especially if you rent boats and spent the day out on the lake. The Lady of the Lake restaurant is a great place to end the day and have drinks/dinner. This is a fun family resort, but would also be a fun option for couples or groups of friends. We stayed there in July during a nice streak of sunshine, but this could be a fun place to go in the Spring or Fall as well.

At the Pub we had helpful servers and the food was delicious. We've been to many other McMenamins locations before but we never had breakfast at one before this visit! There's a lot of great variety on the breakfast menu, like benedicts, cheddar-jalapeno grits, and French toast. At dinner we loved trying out the location-specific menu items - the King Kalama burger and the Hawaii Five-O Pressed Sandwich, as well as the Saigon Kick Chicken Tenders. All was substantial and all was tasty. As always, we loved the dark, whimsical decor of the whole place. It set such a cool vibe during our visit and made our dining experience/stay fun and memorable. I highly recommend even if you're just stopping in for a drink!
