Avis Old Mill Lodge Studio at Lake of the Woods

Beautiful loft with everything you need for a great getaway! Host was incredibly friendly and kind and made sure we were completely taken care of! I’ll definitely be looking to book this place again when we head that way again!

Our hostess greeted us graciously and offered to do anything and everything to make sure we had a nice time as her guests. And we did. We had all the comforts of home at our disposal. I wish every rental could be this nice and every hostess so friendly, helpful, and likeable.

We stayed here a couple nights to visit Crater Lake, north Klamath Rocky Point canoe trail and dropped in to look around Lake of the Woods. This is a nice, quiet, upscale alternative to the cabins at Lake of the Woods. Side entrance to the vrbo unit is two steps from the car park. Nice balcony above the garage with good views of the stars. Tap water tastes real good. We cooked breakfast and dinner here every day. Hot tub was 104. We made use of the peaceful spot to cook, eat and enjoy bird watching out back. Quiet peaceful nights for good sleep. For the suburbanites and city folks, factor in the remoteness. Gas and groceries are in Ashland or Klamath Falls.

We rented this property at a time when VRBO reported that only 2% of properties were available. Based on the posted photos, I was worried that this place wasn't going to be that great. I'm happy to report that the property exceeded all my expectations, it was a LOT nicer than the photos seemed to show. The property featured mostly higher end fixtures and features. The bed was VERY comfortable (comforter, duvet, sheets, pillows). The bathroom shower has good pressure. The kitchen range uses gas and comes with a built in griddle (perfect for making eggs, pancakes) and cleans up easy. The fridge was also up to our expectations--they didn't use crap anywhere in this home. As far as negatives, I'd say the only real negative was privacy. It definitely felt like you were staying in someone's house, like maybe and aunt or uncle you only see once every 10 years. While the unit has its own kitchen n' stuff, to use the hot tub requires walking around the back of the house (and over gravel, requires shoes, not that big a deal). The tub is next to a sliding glass door and you could see the inside of their home. While the hot tub was super nice, we'd have preferred if the glass door had a shade over it. The privacy thing wasn't a huge deal and we had a wonderful time.

Only thing that could have made it better was if we didn’t have to leave! Kim was so gracious in showing us the place when we checked in and would regularly leave us desserts! So much fun to be had in the area but having this space to return to was the best part of our trip. Will. Be. Back.
