We had an urgency to get someone to stay and they had openings. Not only that but they were willing to stay open till I could get there just to get us in. Super clean and what a beautiful view in morning and park is nice to. I would recommend them any day.

We visited Siler Lake Resort with our kids and had a ball. What a great experience it was from beginning to end. Whether it was the views, the peace and quiet, or the excellent lake life, we enjoyed ever aspect. The staff was very friendly and made out trip even more enjoyable. We came all the way from Georgia to play at Silver Lake, and honestly we will do it again in the future. What an amazing trip!

We stayed in a cabin and it was the perfect set up for our family and dogs. Beautiful view of the water from the front porch and windows. The hosts were friendly, the cabin had basics included like linens and dishes and it was nice to have a full size fridge and oven. Wish we would've stayed longer to rent a boat as prices were reasonable but it was a good location to day trip various state parks nearby. Great place to unplug and unwind.

Now, It's been 11 years since I camped here, but MAN, did I have a great time! My crew and I had rented a cabin. Got hammered, fished, ate, and generally had a great time. Anyway, I ended up skinny dipping off of the dock (thank you, Jack Daniels and Bud Light Platinum). Now, i had no idea that people were standing on the patios of the hotel whilst I was dipping skinny. Funnily enough, nobody said a word to me about it. It was dark at this point, so they probably didn't see anything. I also almost wrecked one of the rental boats. Poor dude working their almost had a damn heart attack. All in all, it was an exceptionally great weekend, and we had an incredible time. Very accommodating staff back then as well and very friendly.

Stayed in a cabin in the off season for a few days while working at the Coldwater Lake Visitors Center. Closest place to stay even with the almost hour drive to work. Arrived at almost midnight was assigned cabin #8 before the office closed for the day and was briefly greeted by a staff member. Next morning left to work before anyone else was awake so came back for lunch to complete the paperwork for official check in. During our talks we asked if they had a remote for the TV because there wasn't one in the cabin. They immediately offered the cabin next door and allowed us to switch before returning to work. The people there are very nice, friendly and accommodating. The cabins are cozy if not simple. You're provided the basics, I means basic. Dishes, utensils and cookware are minimal. You definitely are able to cook something but a full meal it will not be unless you brought it with you. Cabin has 2 rooms, so there are 2 forks, spoons, plates, bowls, glasses and coffee cups. You have access to 1 knife, cutting board, small set of pots and pans. The outlets are scarce, plus they're at a height you don't expect. Even the number of cons won't prevent me from staying in the future. The knowledge of the place learned during this stay only adds to quality of my next stay.

Our room was spacious and clean. Great view of the lake and Mr. St Helens. Quiet at night with owners ensuring people were being respectful of the shared space. Owners were very accommodating and friendly. Lots of boats to rent for going on the lake. Would definitely return.
