The Farmhouse 1744 is a beautifully designed, brand new event venue on Spirit Lake Highway in…read moreCastle Rock, Washington. I had the pleasure of attending the very first wedding hosted in this location, and the owners graciously gave me a walkthrough of the property. Considering this venue just opened, what impresses me the most is how established the landscaping and hardscaping feels. Visitors are greeted with a gorgeous gravel driveway that winds through an evergreen forest, then opens to a large gravel lot with plenty of room for event parking. A gently sloping lawn stretches in front of the primary structure, and the entire property is bordered by stately douglas fir and cedar trees. The primary structure is expertly laid out to ensure a wide variety of events can take place in the space. The bathrooms are spacious and stylish. The kitchen is well-positioned, providing easy access for unloading and loading, as well as preparation and serving. There is a lofty and spacious feeling throughout the building, with high ceilings and lots of light. In fact, two giant roll-up glass doors enhance the sense of progression between indoor and outdoor spaces. The owners spared no expense when lovingly adding details like this throughout the building. What I like most about this facility is that while the cavernous interior has a capacity for 200 people, there are plenty of niches and corners where visitors can gather for more intimate conversations. There are several distinct zones on the patios that can be unified by simply rolling up the glass doors. That sense of flow is important for successful event planning. My friend's wedding was everything she'd hoped it would be - an absolutely lovely celebration. The owners of The Farmhouse 1744 were gracious and accomodating, highly responsive, and incredibly reasonable to work with. Wedding planners and brides-to-be, if you're open to a rural location an hour north of Portland, it doesn't get any better than this!

We had been coming here year after year. In 2025 we arrived with a large group.... there was…read moregarbage everywhere and in big piles the entire time we were there. We had to ask them to remove the pile by our cabin (Oar House) to avoid the bees and nasty flies everywhere. And garbage piles were not in just 1 place, it was horrifying. So we decided to drive up before our next big group visit.... the place was definitely cleaned up. BUT, they have a new restaurant and bar on site, if we stayed at the Oar House again we would get to sit next to a full bar with beer garden and an air vent that is so loud you can talk to each. The island is closed. The bar is not apart of RV instyles, so dealing with loud drunk people and people driving back and forth is not appealing, not a relaxing vacy on the lake. We cancelled in plenty of time. It is September and I still have not recieved my full refund from June. My group ALL of them have experience issues with getting money back when their policy is 100% refund. I think they just changed it to non-refundable, that would be because they are losing regular customers. THey just simple ignore you, I even received an unavailable to email them too. My advice, DO NOT GIVE your money to them, you will not get it back, they will avoid you. It is so sad because I use to love coming here with family and friends. We wil still come to Lake Mayfield, just not here!

We stopped in Chehalis for the night and were looking for a good dinner spot. While there were…read moreplenty of chain options nearby, we prefer to try something different when we can--and Ocean Prime turned out to be a great choice. We initially walked in just to look at the menu, and everything sounded good enough that we decided to stay. It felt like a nice dinner restaurant, even though it wasn't very busy, which makes sense for a smaller town. Ray ordered the chef salad with blue cheese dressing and a bowl of French onion soup. I ordered the Thai chicken wings, and they were absolutely delicious. The sauce was full of flavor, and the wings were not skimpy at all--large, meaty, and very satisfying. There were about six wings, and I couldn't even finish them all. The French onion soup was impressive--not basic at all, with a more elevated, "fancy" flavor profile. The salad was fresh, crisp, and well prepared. You can definitely tell there's a good chef in the kitchen. Our server, Maria, was excellent--very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was very quiet ! If we ever pass through Chehalis again, this will definitely be a place we return to. Highly recommend giving it a try.

This…read moremost recent time I had a friend visiting from out of town who wanted to go fishing, specifically fly-fishing. We met Jeff at 6 in the morning and started on his drift boat and kept fishing until we were exhausted. Jeff worked hard to get us on the fish and we landed a nice steelhead and lots of trout. Jeff was very patient and his pointers were very good. The shore lunch was amazing. He brought a small propane grill and cooked us some amazing tuna and vegetables. He really knew the water and all the different holes to fish. I would recommend Stonefly Guide Services to anyone from beginners to the most experienced fishermen.
