We stayed in one of the main building rooms. Woke up to a very nice view. Room was clean. And the lady at check was very nice. Id stay again when im working in the area.

Stayed in a King room (not a cabin) for two nights, check in was easy but note the front desk hours. Clean, comfortable, spacious, aesthetically pleasing with many lighting options, furniture in great condition, mini refrigerator/freezer works well, water runs hot and with good pressure, heat works well (almost too well, I had to really turn it down), and there's even a heater in the bathroom that points towards the shower. It's noisy because it's on the highway so bring earplugs for sleep. My only minor gripe is that you can't use a streaming device because the TVs are completely locked down, but there is cable channels to flip through. The private patio with a view is fantastic. This place is really great at the price point and I'd gladly stay here again.

Wonderful location! Rooms are quiet and with wonderful view of the lake. The sunrise is amazing. You can see it from the room.

Clean and spacious rooms with private balconies and hood Canal view. They are well maintained. Most rooms have a kitchenette with good sized fridge and microwave. However our stay this week was disappointing; no dishes or cutlery were provided in this kitchenette, although dish soap was? Also no additional TP was staged or found anywhere in the room. Hot water is abundant once run long enough. Breakfast from community room is no longer available.. that room is behind keypad now. This property includes many RV pads with power/water hook ups ( didn't see grey water discharge). Also cabins are offered. We are not sure why Resort is part of the business name as there is no pool, tub, gazebo, etc to suggest a resort. Besch access is improved with pebble beach. Watching otters, seals, fish and eagles is the thrill of this place. We spent 2 nights this week here. Beach access can be slippery surfaces at low tide; be cautious. Beds where acceptable but not plush. Rather medium hardness and somewhat squeaky. My wife took pillows from the other bed to get comfortable. Lots of green lights in room due to electronics and car tire noise at any hour due to being direct on US101. One can direct book on their website, but I found Booking.com with incentives cheaper. Free parking with permission Tag. Tides Family restaurant on 101 is a great breakfast restaurant..and was recommended by staff. WiFi worked fine, didn't try the TV. Walking uS 101 is rather dangerous..best have a vehicle to stay here. No shops walking distance here..

We stopped for the night with a reservation for our RV. Friendly, easy check in, quiet except for right on the highway. The water views are wonderful. Our dog was allowed, but due to tribal oyster harvesting laws they are not allowed on the beach or in the water. We would definitely stay again for longer to enjoy the area!
