Lone Fir Resort

This was our first time at the Resort, we will be returning next year. We traveled with 3 young children and stayed in Unit 1 near the playground. We had the entire second floor above the laundry. No problem, no noise whatsoever. The resort is clean and quiet with a nice playground, good cafe and a great pool. The entire staff (manager, office personal, waitress and room attendant) were courteous and attentive. Do not miss a chance to stay here.

The Bigfoot theme was awesome as we are Bigfoot believers! The front staff in the office were friendly and helpful when we asked about nearby hikes. It's a nice gift shop with some interesting Bigfoot and Mt. St. Helen's merchandise! It was nice to have an outdoor pool although we didn't use it but hopefully next time. The cafe food was AMAZING with delicious huckleberry adult beverages. Cabin 2 was rustic, cute and comfortable, great kitchen area with a full sized fridge. We will definitely be recommending Lone Fir Resort to our friends and families and we will be back!

Just stayed one night it it was perfect! The staff, food, drinks & atmosphere was top notch! We tried a pizza it was amazing my mom's old fashion was perfect she had two 😊. We bought the gems in a bag and went outside to the shoulsh and we scored so many great crystals! Our room was perfect beds were comfortable, bath towels where soft and the room was very clean The grounds are emaciate, the pool was crystal clear. I would highly recommend staying here if you want to go explore this beautiful area . Thank you for your kind welcome and wonderful resort

This is a fantastic launching pad for climbing Mount St. Helens. We stayed here two nights in a cabin, before and after our climb. We enjoyed eating at the Cougar Bar & Grill the first night and Bigfoot's Lodge the second night. Both were fantastic! Friendly service and cozy accommodations. The camp spots look great too and in June they have a pool that will be open as well. Great place!

Lone Fir's cabins are tight inside but clean and well equipped. The bed is comfy and the bathroom towels are plush and top notch. Also enjoyed the quality bath products (shampoo, body wash, etc.). The staff are cheery and keen to help, and the grounds & facilities are in good shape. Cougar is close to many of the parks' features and lakes. Beyond that there's not much there; that's fine if you are aware.

The food was overpriced for what it was and the portion size. We ordered the fungi pizza and the dish and chips. Smallest 3 piece Alaskan cod I've seen in my life. Could have a been a kid's meal. We ordered 2 drinks total, they were doubles and tasted like they forgot the alcohol. It was our first drink of the day after hiking the ape caves and we wanted to treat ourselves. To remedy this, we ordered a shot each on the side and took what was clearly watered down shots. Now while dining, we were not checked on once, had to share napkins, had to pay $2 per person for wifi and to top it all off, y'all we had to pay $1.90 to take OUR pizza, that we already paid for, To-Go!! Pizza, fish and chips, 2 drinks and 2 shots = $140 before tip. And yes, we still tipped, but we will not come back.

One night stay over the weekend to see the Ape Cave. Four stars for faulty electric heating system that suddenly kept turning on and off every few seconds at night, it was set to low 65F for sleeping, it was the most annoying sound, no sleep, no rest, dang. This resort feels like a nice multi-use campground. Very nice check-in store, good variety of souvenir's that were not overpriced, very nice restaurant with great service, pool, club house, and clean grounds. Overall nice place that offers variety of options like hotel style rooms, private cabins, RV and tent camping. I might stay here again if the heaters are working properly.

Very nice quit little place, staff was super friendly. Stayed here the night before climbing Mt Saint Helens since its only ~20min away. Restaurant was very good and they will make you a breakfast sandwich the night before so you can have if your leaving super early to climb. FYI its a solid snack on the summit! Decided to have lunch the next day post climb and they asked how my climb was and the conditions, neat little place to say the least, would recommend!

This is the best cute retreat anyone could ask for. The icing on the cake? You can pre-order freshly made cookies to be delivered to your room/cabin! The gift shop has any and everything you could ask for, from art to camping supplies. They have a wonderful entertainment area and really go above and beyond to make your stay magical.

Lone Fir was a great stop on our vacation! Stayed in one of the cabins for a night, cabin was clean and as described, no complaints. Swim in the pool was pleasant while some laundry spun in the coin operated laundromat. Had dinner at the cafe and I thought the food was really solid considering you're in a fairly remote location. Everything was fresh, service was top notch (frog tatoo guy and lobe pierced gal, I appreciate y'all). Be nice to people and be considerate and they will more often than not return the gesture.

This place has the BEST burgers and onion rings. Have been coming here a few times over the years and it is consistently good. The onion rings are fried to perfection and the burgers is big & juicy. This time it was a bit too salty, but still really tasty. Staff were friendly, though it took a bit of time to get a seat as they were short on staff. We sat outside and were able to keep the dogs next to us. We'll definitely come back again.

We stopped in for dinner after hiking. Food was delicious. Our server was great and shared some local info and background behind the names of menu items. We sat outside under the roof on the patio at a nice big table for our family of 5. Kind of pricy, but quality and friendly staff made up for that.

Ask the Rangers at the Ape Caves where is the best place to eat for a vegetarian? After they got done laughing, they suggested that loaner would have the most options. Also mentioning the sign that says adult beverages, which I admit did catch my eye. The girl that waited on us had just been there for 10 days and had driven up from Florida. She was cheerful, helpful and a lot of fun to talk to. The food was good. We just had hamburgers. They have an impossible option. The jalapeño ranch and onion rings was delicious. Will swing by here again if ever in the area.

After a long hike, there is nothing like grilled food, so maybe I am a little biased. They were SUPER short staffed when we arrived and had to wait 20+ minutes for a table. But it was worth it! My group got fish and chips, salad, and burgers, which were all fantastic. The huckleberry blueberry lemonade was sublime. Like drinking the best candy ever. We felt bad for the lone waitress, who was super apologetic about the wait time, so we pitched in to leave her a fat tip. Restrooms were spotless, a welcome change from trail bathrooms. Overall a little expensive, but worth it for a hearty meal in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and the gift shop staff sold me a stamp and mailed my souvenir postcard for me, which was nice.

Excellent breakfast at the restaurant. There is a gift shop and you can buy park passes (day passes too) inside the shop. The servers were very nice. The food was really good. Loved the breakfast potatoes. Ate there 2 mornings during my trip.

Beautiful resort but the staff is HORRIBLE! ESPECIALLY morning staff. Super RUDE! Definitely inconvenience to anyone who walks in. I was in the other day and witnessed an employee YELLING at a woman, it was extremely unprofessional.

Very solid choice for a burger. I had the mushroom burger. Juicy thick pattie. I like the arugula and choice of bun. My son had some onion rings and they were nicely cooked and tasty (probably from frozen but let's not be too snobby) Yes a little pricey but you're in a small town vacation spot that needs the markup given the volume. Only odd downside was the waitress kind of grumbling and warning us it may take some time because there was a table of six and a table of ten. Which struck us funny since the place was empty other than those two tables, us , and a party that had been served. Overall I would recommend.

We went for an afternoon drive heading to Longview from Vancouver staying off of I-5, and ended up in Cougar, WA. We pulled into The Bigfoot Resort and Lone Fir restaurant and bar. My husband had the Yale Burger and said it was the best hamburger he'd had in a very long time. I ordered the Bigfoot BBQ Bacon Burger which was delicious. We started out with the waffle fries pulled pork appetizer which was also yummy. Our waiter was very attentive and nice to talk with. We ordered Huckleberry milkshakes to have for the drive home. They also make a Jack Daniels milkshake which I have to try the next time we find ourselves in Cougar. Highly recommend! Connie & Larry Snyder

We visited the Ape Caves at Mt. St. Helens and were very hungry. We heard that the cafe at this resort was really good. My group got the Bigfoot burger and mushroom burger, root beer float and huckleberry milkshake. The burgers came with chips but you could upgrade to fries or onion rings. Dessert was delicious. Everything was so good. Really hit the spot. Service was fast. Staff were very welcoming. If we are ever in the area again we will stop in. No pictures... we are to fast.

Incredibly rude staff, horrible service and overpriced!!! The letter you receive prior to your stay is absurd. It literally states the staff will not be nice to you if you violate the rules. They clearly miss the idea of the customer experience.

Cafe/restaurant: clean. Great food!!! Incredible breakfast. Best chicken fried steak hubby & I have ever had, Anywhere! Scott, the chef, knows his stuff. Everything we tried was amazing. Milkshakes. Fried mushrooms and fried cheese curds . Our server Candy was friendly, efficient, and hard working. The campgrounds: clean, efficient. Close to beautiful lakes. Quiet. Our room looked brand new, nicer than many hotels! So many families spending quality time playing, reading, swimming together. I loved that the cell service & wifi isn't great: less screen time for everyone. There's a playground, game room, outdoor movie, popcorn.

Place was lit up with quite a few cars so we decided to stop... We found the place: Clean Restroom clean Cozy Somewhat busy Cute gift shop Friendly server (been here a month) she couldn't answer a few questions but still did a great job. Didn't like - No cell service in Cougar, they offered WiFi for $2 - really ?! Wanted a glass of red wine - they didn't offer by the glass only the bottle for $23 - they did have a few wines by the glass but not what I wanted. Got a beer on tap instead. We came in for a pizza and salad We were told they were out of salad and the pizza we wanted with a mushroom sauce was unavailable. We decided on a pepperoni pizza and onion ring basket (simple) The onion ring basket seemed spendy at $8.50 however there was probably 15 or more in the basket were pretty flavorful for frozen rings worth the price until we got the bill and were charged $1.09 for 2 dipping sauces that were in 1.5 ounce metal container filled half way - enough to dip maybe 4 rings. Pepperoni pizza was $18 for a 12" decent not worth more than $14/$15 at most I felt that the food was a bit overpriced, should have been told we would be charged for dip sauce and charging for WiFi for paying customers in an area with no cell service is a bit much. Would probably stop there again for a cold beer on tap but not the food.

Delicious food! The pizza was the best, we got the combo pizza, and fungi pizza- both were so good! Also got milkshakes and salads. All the food was good. Also a great RV park! We camped for three nights, bathrooms were keep clean and pool was fun for the kids to swim in!

**Vegetarian Review** I stopped by at Lone Fire Cafe after Mt. St. Helens hike to grab some much needed hot food. My friend had dietary restrictions - gluten free and vegan. We were surprized to find vegetarian pizza option with cauliflower crust and hence had to stop by. First of all the service is really fast, and the waitress did not linger. She knew exactly when to stop and at the perfect frequency. We ordered - fries, soup of the day (vegetable soup with tomato base) and vegetarian pizza with cauliflower crust. All the food arrived promptly and everything was absolutely delicious. The fries were not at all greasy, the soup was super refreshing and the pizza base - oh gosh. We had to ask and double check if its gluten free cause it felt like regular base, however sure to taste it was cauliflower crust, with mild cauliflower flavour. It was so much better than expected. We had mentioned we will take coffee to go for our drive, and our waitress brew a fresh pot of coffee which needless to say was really good and made sure we didnt fall asleep on the drive back. Highly recommended the cafe for food before/after your Helens hike :D Also we were so hungry that we didnt really pause to take photos

Stayed here on my honeymoon and it was so fun! The atmosphere was great and it was such a cute place. Also good food after a long hike! Everyone there was so nice and accommodating. Definitely would go back!

We didn't intend to cancel, only change dates. Despite having amble availability on the day I booked and amble availability on the day I wanted to make the change for, the only way to change dates was to cancel our reservation, get charged a night and rebook. It is my fault for booking in advance, policy is clearly stated. But knowing Jeremy has the same type of room open on the 2 nights I booked, and everything is wide open 2 weeks later, makes no sense. I enquired about the change a week before our stay. My mistake has cost me $152 It has cost Lone Fir $152 for the extra night we would have stayed, plus the patronage of utilizing the restaurant, plus word of mouth. I've always supported this business from the time Jeremy (the owner) moved up from California and made a go in the small town of Cougar. This would have been our 4th stay. I have no problem camping in my Subaru or backpacking in, that is our new plan. Staying at your cabin was a nice touch to our climbing trip and an attempt to support small business. The only way to communicate with the property is by email. They will not answer the phone, nor call back. This is the only hotel to stay in Cougar, fortunately not the only place to eat. The Cougar Bar and Grill has great food and is less expensive. There are other hotels off I-5. 4 stars is reserved for those with good customer service. I can no longer recommend your property to friends or family. Best of luck Jeremy, I think you are going to need it.

Stopped in for a late lunch on a nice November day. It was too cold for outdoor seating. They only have 5 tables and they got full fast. The staff managed to accommodate everyone and the burgers were great. We liked the quaint feel of the place and it was clean and clean restrooms. My wife had the Yeti burger which she said was very good but tasted more like beef. I had the Loowit burger and it was very tasty. Good fries too. I've been here once before in the summer and it was good then too. It's a small place and they get busy.

My boyfriend and I came in with his buddy and we had a great experience. The food was excellent and Jenna gave us great service! Next time we are in Washington we will be staying here! Thanks again!

After a long day of hiking at Ape Cave we were looking for a place to grab some quick take out. This place had a cute shop right at the entrance that we checked out while we waited for our order. Lots of neat items perfect for souvenirs and presents. The restaurant itself has a cut lodge theme with both an inside dining area as well as a patio, and with it being a beautiful day out, that patio was completely packed. Their menu has pretty much all the good eats anyone needs. Fries and other apps, salads and soups, pizza, sandwiches, fish n chips, and ice cream! The crew we were with ordered up some food to go and the little sister and I went straight for the sweet spot. We only waited about 15 mins or so and they were able to get our food out to us pretty quickly. While our friends enjoyed their snacks in the car, we savored our root beer floats with generous helpings of ice cream. Everyone left happy, full, and replenishing all the calories we'd burned from hiking. Great spot for some quick snacks before a long drive back.

Don't you dare miss this spot! We stopped on our way to the Ape Cave, and then again on our way back. Great service, plenty of space in and out, and delicious drinks and food! Barbara hooked us up with some drinks on our way to the cave, and she was friendly, professional, and on it! We came back through later for more drinks and some food. I had the Abdominal Avocado Chicken Sandwich. Loaded with Avo, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a perfectly grilled chicken breast. It was all put together just right, and I believe there was a jalapeno ranch involved. Partner had a burger with the "Impossible" patty, and said it was good, but nothing to write about. Bloody Mary's were on point. Only bad thing I will say is add-ons really rack up the bill: Fries+4, veggie patty+2, cheese+2... so an $11 burger quickly jumped to almost $20.

I'm in disbelief by how this situation has been twisted. I told myself I wouldn't give you folks anymore of my time or money. I then decided not to let your staffs influence on our trip effect the time we anticipated with our friends family and children. We beyond communicated and that's where the problem lies. We booked the pool and game room with prior notice and we're told occupancy of 8 was allowed for pool and 10 for game room. What happened? The next morning when I was over the situation my wife and I wanted coffee. We ordered two mediums and were charged 12 bucks. I was given a small, my wife received her medium. I politely asked is this a medium hot coffee? holding my small cup, and was told we only serve one size... Why was I able to order the medium then? We really love the area and it's a 45 minute drive from our residence. We will never go back to your resort unfortunately. We were just a family that came to your resort to build memories, and now our memories will always be how we were treated by your staff.

Cute hidden gem of a place! Stayed in our RV and was surprised by all of the amenities..pool, game room, laundry,showers, live music. The restaurant/bars patio was rustic fun and the burger was delicious! The quiet hours were strictly enforced so if you are there to get loud and sloppy, not the place for you! The servers and staff were awesome. Thanks for creating such an inviting atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and safe! Can't wait to come back and try their famous shakes!

We were out scouting camping in the Mt St Helen's area and came across this place. The menu says it's "Bigfoot's Lodge @ Lone Fir" but when searching found under this name. It was seat yourself...the seating area was very welcoming - inside & outside options. Our waitress engaged with us for a few minutes out of the entire time we were there - taking our drink order & food order, delivering it and then brought us our bill (not even asking how every thing tasted). Their mimosas were good but the food itself was over salted and was not worth the price (they charged for each item - build your own breakfast style). When we are in the area, I think we will just continue by - stopping in woodland or at the local gas station for a snack to hold over till woodland

Great service! Pizza was great! Definitely our go to spot when staying up at Lake Merwin.

Rudest camp hosts ever. Constantly coming over to remind us of the rules, about quiet time, dog rules, etc even when we're quiet. We have 7 campsites this year, and will definitely not camp here again. Not for hunting in the fall or camping in the summer. Total rude power trippers running this place. No wonder it's half empty. And no, our neighbors did not move because of us. They moved because the weather is supposed to get HOT. They wanted a shade spot. The hosts really should put their effort into cleaning the bathrooms and mowing the lawn instead of driving away 'guests'

Seeing that the resort and the restaurant and clumped into one listing on Yelp (and rightfully so), I'm going to rave about our experiences both in the restaurant and also in our cabin. So what brought us to, Cougar Washington? A wedding! Well, technically the wedding was a few miles outside of Cougar but Lone Fir Resort appeared to be the closest accommodations. When we arrived we were quick to realize that Lone Fir Resort is very strict about their 3:00 pm check-in policy. Hey, we were warned via email so I can't say were surprised when they told us at the reception desk. Fair enough, we'll hit the bar/restaurant to kill some time! The restaurant is where we met our favorite person in all of Cougar, Kim! Kim is a bubbly little blonde that bounces off the walls of the tiny dining room and talks to herself out loud and we loved every minute of our time spent with, Kim. Oh, not only does Kim check people in, take orders, and deliver checks to the tables, she also was doing all of the cooking! Kim knocked out a table full of four burgers for some locals, cooked us a BBQ chicken pizza, and popped two bottles of wine for us with ease - she's rad! The pizza was just what the doctor ordered and the wine took us into alcohol fueled hysterics as we sat and chatted for hours. The cabin we stayed in was equally as great. It was clean, the bed was comfy, and the small kitchenette was a life saver post rehearsal dinner and wedding reception the night after. We were fully stocked with snacks that we purchased down the road and having a fridge, silverware and a microwave meant we didn't have to act like complete peasants when trying to prepare a late-nite meal. Does it sound like we enjoyed our time at Lone Fir Resort? A better question is: when are we going back?!

Wow, what a great place to take the family for a vacation! Everything you need is in one place; tent camping, RV spots, cabins, motel rooms, restaurant, gift shop, ice-cream, swimming pool... all tucked away in a nice small Mt town sitting on Yale Lake at Mt St Helens back door! The place was neat and clean, the staff very nice and helpful!

We keep going back to this place for their wings and pizza. Salads and burgers are great too. Have had nothing bad from here and eaten here 8 times now since we purchased some land near by. Full bar and cold beer helps, and great service. Even a little store that sells limited hard liquor. Highly recommend!

I canceled the room on June 2nd which was 25 days ahead of the arrival date and yet they charged me full amount. By the way, the only way to cancel the room is through their website and the web site does not send an email confirmation after cancellation. I will be taking this up to Better Business Bureau.

Food and shakes are great but pushing the limit on the American greed factor and prices. Gotta pay $3.50 if you want fries instead of chips, great way for another buck. Basically $22+ for a little sandwich or burger... overpriced!!!

Food was overpriced for its quality and taste. The onion rings are incredible (but how can you screw up fried foods?) The cookie dessert (with ice cream): the dough was under baked and the ice cream tasted like it was scraped from the freezer door. The service was extremely friendly and kind. The beer was luke-warm.

My family and I have been camping here since 1992. Seen several owners and this campground continues to be our favorite. Jeremy and Johnny are amazing and as long as you follow their rules which we agree with all of them. Quiet time starts at 10pm. Music off at 9:00pm. Dogs on leashes. These guys are very professional along with Carla Dennis and Rodney. The workers here are legit. They work long hours and are very friendly and professional. We look forward to many more trips here.

Great food and drinks. The burger was amazing. They even had beyond burgers and salads, both were delicious and healthy. This was a nice surprise for our Helens trip. We had the best server as well. Barbara was super kind and accommodating to our large group.

Super cute and very clean. Staff were friendly. Everything looks updated. Would definitely recommend if you are staying in this area.

Reposting since my last one was taken down and people need to know how this place operates. Kevin, I believe the manager of this campground, likes to take his position of "authority" and use it to his full advantage. Worst customer service of my life. This place doesn't even deserve one star. If you have any complaint whatsoever, or you believe any of their staff members has done something wrong/treated you wrong...good luck voicing your concern or asking any questions about. I understand the customer may not always be right, but I can tell you that the way I was treated by this business was 100% wrong. My encounter with Kevin didn't INITIALLY stem from breaking any rules of the campsite, but instead it came from pointing out how rudely I was treated by one of his staff members when asking a simple question about a potential mix up of their activity room. He claims I was so rude to their employee that I made her cry. Completely false. I spoke to her calmly and did not show any sign of frustration until walking out of the door stating "I heard you", a little loud, because Kevin felt it was necessary to repeat himself 3 times and talk to me like I was dumb. At this point, my father went in and requested to speak to someone. I can't speak for what actually happened, as I was not present. Kevin came outside to talk with my dad and when he tried telling my dad his "version" of the story he looked at my dad in his face while holding his ear and stated "you weren't listening with your ears". Again, talking to my father like he was dumb. At that point I told him their staff were the rudest I'd ever encountered and at the point he walked over to me and was yelling, talking down to me, pointing in my face, and had an aggressive stance while speaking to me in front of 6 children. He had the audacity to threaten to have me "escorted off the property" for sticking up for myself because of how I was being treated. Mind you, I had not threatened him in any way to make him feel he needed to get any authorities involved. He told me I needed to pack all my things and leave and when I told him we were families with children he told me he did not care. So once we started leaving the pool and children were crying, he retracted his statement of leaving the campground and claimed he was just telling me I need to leave the pool, AGAIN like I was dumb and didn't understand him correctly. The other adult witnesses heard what I heard as well and agreed he did not make it seem that way. I can see why he has his job in the little town in Cougar, because any other resort would not allow their staff to treat paying customers the way he did. The resort is cute and I had high hopes to make it a yearly thing. I even brought 2 other families along to check it out. But unfortunately things didn't go as planned. This place claims we broke a few rules, which apparently merits them treating us as if we're not respectable humans. They say we broke quiet time rules: unintentionally we did by maybe 15 minutes and Kevin wasted no time coming up to our campsite site to unprofessionally inform us of it. We turned our music off immediately. They claim we were entitled customers wanting them to bend their rules when it came to the pool and game room AND that we had more people in our tent spaces than allowed: we had 16 people which meant 8 per site. Their website stated that was allowed. We had 8 in the pool and 10 in the game room later on. These were the rules given to us by staff, so I'm not sure how that is breaking the rules. When we were initially told the time slots for both of these were 30 minutes they had also stated if no one else rented the areas we could stay longer. Since our group was so large we were hopeful that was the case since we were paying customers. Apparently we were entitled because of that. At no point during any of these reservations for the pool and game room was myself or anyone in my party rude about anything. In fact, their staff didn't even make it seem like it was even an issue that we had wanted more than 30 minutes if possible. They also stated someone from my party came back and apologized for my "behavior". What they don't know is that he intentionally did that so that we could take the kids to the game room and play since they had their hopes up and Kevin so kindly kicked us out the first time. Mind you, the game room requires money to even play games. Which means, even after this horrible encounter we STILL game them more of our money.... For the kids to have fun.

We stopped and had great service! Very welcoming and friendly staff. Fun little shop and a great eatery! Highly recommend the Funghi Pizza!

This spot was a great surprise during our road trip. We were so glad that the restaurant serves beyond burgers and salads, both were delicious and healthy. During our dinner we sat on the patio and enjoyed a nice Pinot Gris from their selection. Service was super friendly and prompt. Thank you Lone Fir Resort for the beautiful evening!

The newest owners of the Lone Fir had blown us away with their amazing service as well as food and drink choices offered. Not to mention, they have clearly put countless hours into the theme of the resort in order to give it a Sasquatch and summer camp kinda vibe. This is the type of business that the town needs more of considering that their are lots of tourists during the summer months. I can tell that the Lone Fir has influenced the other businesses in the town to take pride upon providing quality service during these unprecedented times. Keep up the good business practices!

We stopped here to pay for use of the laundry and showers and then eat dinner (so planned to spend money). While the housekeeping said we could use the facilities, the management was going to charge us $5 to just access the laundry (plus the cost for doing the laundry) and would not let us use the showers (that are also pay showers). They were not even friendly about it... not really a friendly place. Left and ate dinner at Cougar Bar & Grill instead.

We're completing a trip of the Pacific Northwest and are staying at 6 different locations over the span of 2 weeks. 4 of those 6 are in more remote locations like this Lone Fir Resort, and this place has been the best place and surprisingly the cheapest that we've stayed. I'm reading through some of the other reviews, and apparently they have some really strict quiet time rules which they actually enforce and that makes people 1 star mad. For us, that just made us want to stay here more. We are mostly boring, quiet people who value being alone and want to be unbothered -- so that, coupled with the fact that this hotel was very close to the Mt. Saint Helens summit hike was our reason for staying. The Resort was mostly empty when we visited I think, which was nice for us, and we stayed in one of the cabins. I think the cabin can fit 2 adults + 2 kids. It was very clean and not very creaky or rustic like some of the other places we've stayed at. Had a couple good nights of sleep, which was rare and necessary for our early morning hike. It was pretty hot for Washington I think (88 degrees one day) but the AC kept us cool so no problem there. Some of the other places we've stayed at have bugs and spiders everywhere inside but I don't think I found a single bug in 2 nights. Had a nice kitchen area with a gas stove, big sink, and a good assortment of kitchen utensils which we used to make breakfast. Note there is no cell service, but had no issues with WiFi. They also had a restaurant on the premises which I found very good relative to the remoteness of the place. It's not a Michelin star restaurant, or really anything more than a standard American food place, but I enjoyed the food and service and had prices that I was more or less expecting. There was so much talk about the milkshakes that I got one and I really liked that too! The staff there seems to do a bit of everything, as we even got fresh baked cookies delivered to our cabin. Oh, there was a burn ban in effect when we visited which was a bit unfortunate, but not their fault. Anyways to summarize: this was perhaps my favorite stay on our 2 week trip across the Pacific Northwest. If I ever come to the Mt. Saint Helens area again I will 100% try to stay here.

The Lone Fir Resort in Cougar, WA is the perfect place to unwind from a backpacking trip. The first thing I did was visit the cafe and order the The Big Foot Burger and a glass of microbrew. It was the most delicious burger I have ever had in my life--and I do mean in my life. I booked two nights in the lodge; the log bed provided such a cozy spot to rest and let my experience settle. My server at breakfast directed me to a short day hike to June Lake. It was such tranquil spot complete with a waterfall. I recommend The Lone Fir highly--the RV park seemed nice and quiet as well. On my way out I stopped in the mist of morning and had breakfast at the near-by reservoir. It was hard to leave the area it is so beautiful I plan on visiting the Lone Fir Resort for years to come while exploring the amazing Mount Saint Helens area. Thank you Lone Fir for making my trip complete.

Dont complain about being loud at 8.30am if quiet time ends at 8am. Should change your strict policy. Read the 1 star reviews and what the owner responds, pretty pathetic how he thinks he's always right. Customer is always wrong. I look forward to your un professional response.

Took the family here and we will be back. Had a great time and enjoyed the food. They have a pool and playground for the kids. It was nice to relax and enjoy family time.

Great pizza. Mouthwatering burgers. Cheese curds and deep fried mushrooms! Amazing food. Great service!!

We loved this place! Friendly counter service and lots of great conversation with Rodney, who got us to order their delicious buffalo wings without false promises on National Chicken Wing Day. Tabby the cook knows what she's doing in the kitchen - we highly recommend her Swift halibut fish and chips. Thanks also to Karla and Ed for adding to the warm and friendly atmosphere. We'll be back!

Available for pickup during CoVid-19, also has limited seating in house. FANTASTIC staff and PHENOMENAL food! I don't consider myself to be a foodie, but Lone Fir completely blew me away with how creative and delicious their menu is! Breakfast was wonderful, lunch and supper an absolute delight. Highly recommend stopping in or picking up!

How anyone could give this business a low rating, I do not know. Way beyond our expectations for a business so far off the beaten path. This place is woodsy and charming. They even have a pool! Anyway, we ate at their little restaurant and it was great. Had the Lone Fir Pizza, which is BBQ Chicken and it was super good. We ate the whole thing. The waitress said the BBQ sauce is made in their kitchen. Maybe a bit sweet, but oh so tasty. We also shared a salad with jalapeno ranch dressing. It has bite! Perfect place to stay if you are adventuring to the Mt. St. Helen's summit hike or Ape Caves.
