This motel is a quiet gem in Trout Lake. Everything about it says "welcome", from the cozy lobby to the friendly touches by the owners. Don't go by their Web page, because there's more the place like a great breakfast, satellite TV and a hot tub. Also, it's VERY dog friendly. In fact, they had a nice dog bed in the room. Breakfast when we stayed was sweet potato waffles, along with the usual continental breakfast stuff.

We'll definitely be back.

I cannot say enough good things about the Trout Lake Motel. It is very clean and decorated in a charming manner. The grounds are lovely and the sweet potato waffles are made for just for you when you wander in for the continental breakfast. The owners are warm and friendly and very helpful. My only regret is that we were there for only one night ... next time we will plan on staying longer in this beautiful place.

A real find! Nice people, beautiful setting. Very clean, well laid-out, even has wireless internet for free and dish television. The breakfast is fresh, hot, and the waffles are wonderful. Dave, the owner, is full of information on eating places, sights to see, what to do. Off the beaten path for most people, but well worth the effort. Pet the dog! And don't tell anyone about this place, please. Keep it a secret.

We stayed at the Trout Lake Motel both before and after our climb of Mt. Adams. The rooms were large and very comfortable and had wonderful firm beds. Breakfast (fruit, cereals, pastries, bagels, muffins and sweet potato waffles) was served starting at 6:30, which was perfect since we had to meet our climbing group at 7.

The owners were delightful and helped us with restaurant suggestions. There's not much in the area but we had a great dinner at Serenity (right across the road; not open on Sundays).

Highly recommended.
