The very friendly and helpful owners have created a lovely small, cozy inn. the decor was fun and antique eclectic. There is a beautiful view of Foster Lake across the road. There is a nice walking path along the lake shore. Next door to the inn is an excellent restaurant.

Steve & his wife were very welcoming. They offered suggestions for places to eat and info about the area. We stayed in the suite which had a beautiful view of the lake AND a jacuzzi tub! We enjoyed our short stay and would recommend it.

Well appointed with cozy choices. Unique use of an older property without sacrificing modern amenities. Excellent customer service. Very safe. Great location on a lake with good food establishments within walking distance. Well worth the drive off the beaten path.

Grandma/Granddaughter Adventure

Foster Lake Inn was a wonderful step back in time…the property was newly renovated and the decor was vintage. The owners had interesting stories about some of the furniture that was from the original owners from the late 1800’s. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and spacious. There is also plenty of outdoor seating with a perfect panoramic view of the lake. We were able to watch a beautiful sunrise and sunset from the front porch. We cant say enough about how wonderful, personable, and kind the owners are. Highly recommend.

This place was great! This was the first “inn” we’ve stayed! I liked the personal feel about it. The owners were really nice and accommodating. We also liked that there was a restaurant to the right and left of the inn. And we had a pretty lake view!

I enjoyed reading about the History of Foster, Sweet ahome and the surrounding area. As I enjoyed my wandering the area, fishing, kayaking and Dining in the area. I would also like to recommend the Point for Dining and the little Dam Bar for drinks, meals and entertainment... As you wander, pay attention to little things like the architecture and area businesses... All of it can carry you back to a more laid back and easy time in our historic State of Oregon. Our stay at the Inn was awesome as it proved to be a fantastic jump off point and accomodations as we wandered. The majority of the Locals were exceptionally friendly and genuinely intrigued by some of my questions about the area I highly recommend a stay at the Foster Lake Inn ... I know we'll be back again.
