Main St is walking distance with coffee shops and other stores. Far enough from highway 97 so no road noise at all. Very quiet at night. The bed is totally comfortable. I would venture to say it is better than the bed at the Westin where we usually stay while traveling. The room has laundry - that's something I did not expect. A private washer and dryer tucked in a closet near the kitchenette. Pretty cool. Nice granite counter tops and stainless steel full size fridge. Full set of silver wear; including set of cooking knifes. Dish set and wine glasses all in their proper places throughout the kitchen cabinets. Again, didn't expect any of that and it came very handy. Great sofa set with love set. 2 Toshiba LCDs - one in bedroom and the other in the living room. Great private balcony with wicker furniture set - a table and 4 chairs with great view of the lake. In summary, Will be back!

With that said there's no TV or microwave in your room. I didn't ask or look if there was a microwave in the common area but there was a large tv and lots of movies to watch in there. Lots of outdoor seating on the porch and a communal fire at 8 each night. Very nice! I'd love to go back there again. Also very quiet and not busy of 4th of July weekend so if you have pets afraid of fireworks this would be a good place to stay . From what I understand this place got new owners last year and looks much better than it has in previous years. Very happy with our stay

I have only the nicest things to say about the Best Western plus Pepper tree Inn. We have road…read moretripped all over this country many times, literally visiting 49 of the 50 states... so we have seen a lot of hotels and motels over the years. There are a few maker break components to a hotel stay: the bed, the bathroom, the TV, and the HVAC system. If one of these sucks, you're gonna have a bad time. I'm glad to share that the Pepper tree goes four out of four in the positive. Comfortable beds, functional heat, and air-conditioning, and each in their own time and place... Functioning, television, and a clean and functional bathroom. On top of that, our room over the last several years of visiting, always features a mini fridge, a microwave, a large closet, boutique style shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hot water, and cold water in the correct location on the dial, and a very clean room. The complementary morning breakfast is outstanding; the gentleman that has managed the kitchen for the last two years, runs a tight ship, and always seems to be training a new staff member with an eye for customer service, cleanliness, and a very positive experience for visitors. Seriously, this is not the el cheapo continental breakfast with pre-bagged, pastries, and small boxes of Captain crunch. My youngest son particularly likes the pancake machine. The hotel has a pool and a hot tub, but honestly, we'd have never used them. The front desk staff is friendly and attentive, and the cleaning staff does a nice job of tidying up your room without that weird feeling of being invasive. We generally visit Omak annually for a boys' fishing trip, and this hotel is the best game in town. As an added bonus, it's literally one minute from the best outdoor outfitter, sporting goods store in town... But that's a different review. We cannot wait to visit again.

I stayed here for an extended stay of about a month. While several front-line staff members were…read moreexcellent, my overall experience was defined by management interactions that ultimately made me feel unwelcome. First, I want to recognize staff who genuinely provided good hospitality: * David and Ben were excellent and helped move my belongings efficiently when I needed to change rooms. * Michael in the dining area consistently made me feel welcome and taken care of. * Alan at the front desk was kind, efficient, and allowed me to view multiple rooms before finalizing a move. * Jennifer at the front desk was warm and thoughtful from check-in onward, personally delivering items to my room and following up to ensure I was comfortable. * The evening front desk associate was also friendly and helpful. These individuals did their jobs well. Unfortunately, my interactions with the manager, Erika, are what led to this one-star rating. When I transferred rooms due to excessive highway noise, I was explicitly offered the option to place my larger items in storage. I did not have time to move everything that day. When I later called to follow through on what had been offered, the response from Erika was unexpectedly negative. Rather than simply explaining a change in policy or availability, the tone felt dismissive and transactional, and prior accommodations were repeatedly framed as things the hotel "didn't have to do." That reversal -- being offered a solution and then spoken to harshly for trying to use it -- made me feel uncomfortable and like I was asking for too much by requesting something I had already been told was available. This pattern carried over into other interactions (such as towel availability), and over time it created the sense that my presence was an inconvenience. Additional issues during the stay: * I had to change rooms due to excessive highway noise. * One of the two elevators was out of service, which is a major issue when staying on the fourth floor for an extended period. * The mini refrigerators (both the in-room unit and an additional one later provided) intermittently made loud mechanical noises. * Communication around towel availability was inconsistent, including being required to exchange used towels just to receive clean ones. * The pool shower delivered cold water when set to hot, and the pool water had a strong bleach smell. * No visible recycling or composting options. One small positive: despite the elevator issue, the stairwells are carpeted and heated, which made using them more tolerable. While I truly appreciate several staff members, the way I was spoken to by management -- particularly after being offered accommodations and then criticized for requesting them -- made this an uncomfortable and unwelcoming experience. Because of that, I do not plan to return to this property, and I would choose a different hotel in the future.

I told him yes; my son turned to a customer who was behind us and showed the candy to him then my returned the candy to the plastic container and put it on the counter. The cashier stated that my son was passing out candy and I said no he was showing it to the customer behind us. Cashier's response was "our security is not familiar with him and might misunderstand him. Which made no sense to me. Staff needs to be inserviced on the Rights of the Disabled mentally/physically.

Nice large clean rooms, friendly staff, 70 horses to ride and tons of other activities. During our stay we rode horses daily, explored an old cave, swam in the near by lake, fed baby animals including an orphan fawn, archery, trap shooting, nightly camp fires, Fishing in the creek, and helped round up the horses in the morning/evening with Kathy. There was even more to do. Food was served family style and staff was helpful. Hospitality was incredible, we WILL be returning next year. Town of Republic is close and cute..also has an amazing fossil dig site called Stonerose, we spent two days digging for cool fossils. Long drive was well worth it and we had fun driving up highway 21...with the extra bonus of taking the free ferry! Our eight year old cried for thirty minutes after we left, it was hands down the best trip/experience we have had.

A Diamond in the Rough! If you want to take your children or…read moregrandchildren to a "real" ranch, K-Diamond-K is the place to go ! The ranch was founded by hard-working Stephen & veterinarian June Konz in 1961. The present gorgeous large log cabin lodge and all its furniture was self-built by the Konz family between 2000-2008, and is now run by their eldest daughter Kathy (Konz) McKay, husband Brian McKay, and son Stephen McKay. This is the real deal when it comes to western ranches. They raise their own longhorn cattle. You couldn't ask for more ! My wife and I took two of our grandchildren to the ranch planning to spend three days from Thursday, July 31st 2025 to Sunday August 3rd 2025, and ended up extending our stay to August 4, 2025 because our grandchildren had so much fun. What can kids do at K-Diamond-K ? Read the signs and look at the pictures included with this review. This is "real" ranch life with a host that is brimming with smiles and spirit. Kids can rise at 7 am (Don't worry, your excited kids will be waking you up !) to feed the baby animals and gather some fresh eggs from the chicken coop. Then they can accompany owner, Kathy, on her ATV to the ranch's lower valley to milk Kathy's cow Rosebud. Rosebud delivers 3 gallons of milk every morning and every evening, and you will become an expert milker after a short time. Then around 7:30 am, the kids can accompany Kathy on her ATV to round up the ranch's ~50 horses that have been grazing in the lower valley overnight and herd them back to the corral by the lodge. Breakfast is served at 8 am. After breakfast, your kids can brush and love-on a horse and go for a horseback ride on the ranch's 1,600-acre property at 9:30 am or enjoy a completely different ranch activity. Lunch is served at 12:30 pm. Each day is spent doing "exactly what you want to do". The ranch has all the facilities and gear you need for any activity you desire (riding boots, hats, gloves, ropes for roping, biking, fishing, archery, a pickle ball court and a basketball hoop, or just plain relaxing on one of the ranch decks, or on the front lawn lounge chairs). You get three delicious meals a day and will never be hungry. Kathy, cook Chloe, and wranglers Madeleine and Evelyne truly worked as a team during our visit. By the way, the cream in your coffee and the ice cream dessert you enjoy at meal time all come from Rosebud ! So, if you haven't made ice cream before, you can see how its done ! Our grandchildren immediately loved feeding the miniature pigs, milking Rosebud twice a day (they had never milked a cow before), and accompanying Kathy on her daily ritual of herding the horses to the corral in the morning and back to the valley in the evening. They also very much enjoyed the large outdoor trampoline in front of the lodge. We went horseback riding, fishing at Swan Lake, visited the ranch's abandoned gold mine, panned for gold, spent time in the petting zoo, and enjoyed mountain biking. We also played many fun games in the lodge. The kids particularly liked scrabble and the foosball and air hockey tables in the basement. Every evening after dinner, the kids would go to the outdoor trampoline, play games, and sit around the large outdoor campfire to make smore and identify the planets and constellations with the help of our phone's "Skyview" app. Our grandchildren also made some new friends at the ranch and exchanged emails with them to hopefully see them again on a future visit !

Halfway thru our stay another large group came without reservations and wanted to stay, we were asked to go back to the original room assignments which we did. During our stay, food was mediocre at best, as the weeks progressed, less and less of it was cooked at dinner time, good choices decreased. At check out time, the owner then decided that the negotiated price for the stay was not enough and tried to raise our final payment. This due to the fact that for half our stay we used twice the rooms. The main hall was dusty and there were a lot of flies. Garbage cans were rarely emptied. Disgusting place. I did notice that Yelp deleted my original review of this dump so I had to post again.
