This log cabin lodge on Swift Lake/Reservoir is a wonderful escape from busy city life. It is totally private, with its own road and gated access. The views over the water are incredible (especially when the moon was out!), and the lodge is designed to take advantage of that, with large windows and balconies facing the lake. The kitchen is very spacious and open, and it was a great space to hang out with family. It was conveniently located near Mt. St. Helens, and we went on several hikes a short drive away. We would recommend this lodge if you're looking for a place to get away with family, and enjoy some time in nature with all the comforts of home.

We stayed here for my wife's birthday with a few friends. Its a really nice house with easy lake access and very secluded. There's lots of space for people to lounge both inside the house and on the deck which has great views. We really enjoyed swimming and paddle boarding on the lake, and lewis falls was also less than an hour away and a fun easy hike. This is a great place for a large family and friends get together.

We had a wonderful stay at the lake. Amazing hiking at Lewis river, cruised the lake and fished on the pontoon boat, swam under the waterfall, and just relaxed on the decks. It very comfortably fit our group of 11. Thank you for sharing this lovely property with us!

family .... BIG birthday!

An awesome place; clean and exactly as described! Jean, the property manager, was very communicative and responsive. Big family meals and a grand time at the lake. Loved the access to hiking trails and Ape Cave is a must do for the adventurous. We had a fantastic time.

We stayed at the lodge and had a wonderful time. April showers kept us in most of the time so we enjoyed the expanse of this lovely home! Plenty of room.

Great stay at a wonderful lakefront home!

This house was a wonderful location for 2 families with kids plus grandparents. Plenty of room for everyone and the views are beautiful. The house is very well appointed overall and we could find everything we needed. The communication from the property manager was excellent overall.

This house is stunning. We spent 3 nights with 9 people in early August. Our first full day was sunny and warm so we played on the lake the whole day. The water toys were great fun. The next day rained all day so it was cards, books and lots of cooking. We did not see another person the entire time. Magical, highly recommend and hope to return.

Perfect Place

The house was fabulous and spacious! We had 11 family members and it was totally stocked with everything we needed. We felt right at home and enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and great porch deck and scenery right out the back door. The lake was beautiful and we took the canoe to the waterfall! Very calm and peaceful and no problems! Greatest vacation yet for us who have never traveled to the Pacific Northwest! Thank you!

Great Bachlaextravangza for the bride to be!

My friend is a total outdoors, mountains, lakes, hiking enthusiast. This was the perfect bachelorette excursion with 10 friends. Plenty of sleeping accommodations, beautiful deck and large indoor areas. Access to water, floating dock and many other water toys including the pontoon boat we rented. BEAUTIFUL place, highly recommend. I may be bringing my family back here.

Great Visit at the Lake Lodge

Our family group of 15 spent three great days at the Lodge. The beautiful log construction is impressive, offering plenty of deck and inside options for relaxing. Vast counter space in the well-stocked kitchen. Inflatable dock and floaties offer fun on the lake which was a perfect temperature for swimming and floating. We had some confusion regarding sleeping space, but the current on-line description is accurate.

Most Memorable!

We sought a special place to celebrate a milestone birthday weekend with family, and this home exceeded all expectations: super spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. There are some unique aspects to being "off the grid" that can be a bit tricky (e.g. heat provided by gas wall units and fireplace), but the property manager was immediately responsive to help us understand/solve the minor challenges we had. The location is a bit remote, but SPECTACULAR and very convenient to the sights and hikes around Mt. St. Helens.

Excellent lake house

Incredible location on the lake. The house was clean and well equipped. Climbing down to the lake is a rather steep hill so may be difficult for the elderly or very young. It's wonderful that some water toys and small boats are included in the rental, but they were in rather bad shape when we rented, hopefully they have been replaced or repaired.
