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!

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.

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.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The owner was there to greet us and gave us great advice for our road trip. They were very friendly and helpful. The property is filled with wonderful antiques, it is very charming. The property used to be someone’s dream lake house and is now a wonderful place to rest by the lake.

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.

Nice and quiet.

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.

Awesome location, Helpful host

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.

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.

Linens too scented

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.
