Beautiful place to stay. Family owned and definitely feels that way. Very warm and inviting, beautiful property. Highly recommend the trails and just taking it all in. Did a fun photoshoot as well.

My wife and I love our visits to Fort Lewis. This year was our second year staying, and we always have such a great time. From the endless options of exploring, Caryl’s incredible cooking, and quaint rooms (we love the silo!), we’d choose Fort Lewis over any other type of vacation. We just got back from our stay and are already looking forward to next year!
