At Foster Lake Inn, travelers consistently praise the welcoming owners, cozy vintage-themed rooms, and the scenic setting directly across from Foster Lake, noting clean, comfortable stays with quiet surroundings and convenient dining options a short walk away.
Several reviews highlight lake views and easy access to lakeside walking paths. Rooms feel home-like, with distinctive antiques; sizes vary, and some bathrooms are notably large. Minor drawbacks include an occasional musty odor or strongly scented linens, and not every room faces the lake. Expect a quiet, personable inn stay with character rather than big-hotel amenities.

Great place to stay, right next to the lake and The Point restaurant. It was quiet, even though it’s on the highway. Bed was comfy, dvd selection was fun, and the bathroom was huge. Would stay again.

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.

Sitting on the deck overlooking the lake first thing in the morning, with a cup of coffee as a deer walks by. What more needs to be said - besides, comfortable, clean, inviting. Great place to stay.

Foster Lake INN is a quaint building in a very, very beautiful location directly across from the Lake. Nothing fancy but everything you need to enjoy your stay, even in the off season. The town of Sweet Home has a lot more to offer than meets the eye and the POINT RESTAURANT, located 100 yards away, is rated in the top 150 in the US. Less than a hour from Eugene, the Foster Lake Inn offers a very nice contrast to the big hotel chains and definitely worth the experience.

We were very pleased with the cleanliness. A lot of thought and planning went into the curated decor of historic memorabilia. Outstanding rustic display of collections. Doll collection, mirror with ice skates hanging from peg. Treadle sewing machine. Stack of old suitcases. All items were brilliantly displayed. Every need was thought of. A small two door refrigerator, microwave & Kcup coffee maker. Two bathrobes and ample linens. Mini-split AC unit was efficient in the sitting room with the 95+ temp outside. The use of a standing fan helped to get that nice cool air to circulate through the bedroom. Bathroom door stuck, hard to close but not an issue for us. The charm far outweighed any “issues”. Still would rate at five stars. We lost the lock code card when it slipped out of my hand and slid down the wall disappearing behind the baseboard trim - out of site.

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.

The inn is quaint, clean, and owners very kind. I had an issue with the linens. My problem was they had a very strong scent which did not agree with me. I had a very hard time sleeping as a result and woke up with a bad headache. I could not stay a second night which I had paid for because of this so my brother stayed alone. I was disappointed because of this. $300.00 for 2 nights. I will say the room was spotless, and the bed extremely comfortable.

Foster Lake Inn was a nice quiet place to crash for the night. It was clean, comfortable and affordable. Used to be a B&B so not surprisingly, it feels more like a home than a hotel.

What a beautiful gem. Setting was beautiful. Inn was beautiful, though still seems to be a work in progress. They have done a great job in keeping the charm. Could walk to a couple restaurants, and there were walking paths by lake

Great place to stay, right next to the lake and The Point restaurant. It was quiet, even though it’s on the highway. Bed was comfy, dvd selection was fun, and the bathroom was huge. Would stay again.

Foster Lake INN is a quaint building in a very, very beautiful location directly across from the Lake. Nothing fancy but everything you need to enjoy your stay, even in the off season. The town of Sweet Home has a lot more to offer than meets the eye and the POINT RESTAURANT, located 100 yards away, is rated in the top 150 in the US. Less than a hour from Eugene, the Foster Lake Inn offers a very nice contrast to the big hotel chains and definitely worth the experience.

Well maintained, and we got some excellent recommendations for things to do. Dinner at The Point was, dare I say it, On Point, and our hike to the Blue Pool was just as fabulous as they said it would be.

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.

I love this Inn and it's right across the street from fosters lake. Next door to The Point, which has great food and good prices. I stay here to go hiking. There are a bunch of outdoor recreation areas within minutes. And Steve and his wife are just the best.

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.

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!

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.

Amazing place. It is like staying in a museum. So many things to look at. There is a sewing machine just like the one my grandmother used. There are suitcases like the ones I found in Mom's house after she passed away. Just amazing items. Worth the stay just to look at all the items.Air conditioner was nice and bed was comfortable. Did not hear noise from the highway . I would stay there again. Very nice.

The Inn reminded me of old boarding house. All the guest rooms were upstairs. The place was nicely renovated and eclectically decorated with antiques and other oddities. Steve, the owner, was super nice and helpful. You could tell he was excited about the area and wanted share tips about where to go, what to do and where to eat, etc. The place was clean and quiet. If we need to stay in the area again, we will definitely choose the Foster Lake Inn!

The place was amazing. Get the backstory from the owners. Everything was great. What I didn't like is that the weekend ended and I had to go home. Thank You Steve and Tracy Amazing Hosts
