"The home looks just as it does in the photos. It’s very cute in an eclectic ski cabin-type of way. We arrived at night so we didn’t see the peek-a-boo view of the lake until morning. It made me wish we had an extra day to explore more of our surroundings. My pre-teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the loft area and had it to themselves. There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

Iron Horse Inn Bed & Breakfast

Iron Horse Inn Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"Great experience. Great for Bike Riders. Very accommodating. We rode the Palouse to Cascades trail from Cedar Falls to Cle Elum. After 50 miles of riding we were dusty and tired. They offered us rags to help clean our bikes. And they offered to drive us to the next town for dinner if we wanted (we opted to just order pizza and relax in the hot tub) -- they even let us use plates and utensils. In the morning we were having some issues with a tire, and they offered to drive us to the bike shop if we needed. They just go out of their way to be helpful. Great breakfast -- we loaded up before another long day of riding. Will definitely be back again (we have stayed 2 times previously."
