Very close to a conscience store and bar/grill. The garden and outdoor space needed some spring cleaning and the outside patio chair cushions were ripped and dirty. Inside was cozy and we had everything we needed. We were disappointed there was only a jetted bath tub and not a hot tub like advertised. Owner was quick to respond when we got there and answered our questions. Our overall stay was good and it beat sleeping in a tent. ##### Bridget S.

My family was looking for a place to stay to take a break from quaranteening. Cougar House is just the right place. It's cozy and homey. It was very welcoming as soon as we stepped-in. The house is rustic in design and yet modern. There is no stove but the cook top is enough to cook eggs and pancakes. We were given the wrong codes to enter the house, without cell signal, we struggled to find a way to contact Troy. Wifi connection is 90% reliable so after we figure that out, we were able to contact him and was able to get in. We were being cautious due to COVID so we checked the cleanliness first. We found some leftover condiments in the fridge and was expecting the garbage to be empty. It wasn't full, but empty juice bottle and some paper towels. There are also some leftover shampoo and soap in the shower. Turned out, past renters have been doing that and Troy said that if it not expired, they just keep them to help out new renters. We bought or own groceries and also left what we ddn't use. The town itself is very small, has their own convenience store and a couple of restaurant. Because of covid most of places we want to visit are closed, but the kids had a blast spending time in the lake. All in all, we had fun. We will probably plan to go back after COVID. ##### Jeanette E.

It had everything we needed to cook and BBQ. It is also within about a 5 minute drive of two parks on Yale Lake. ##### Jim B.

St Helens stay in Cougar, WA Very pleasantly surprised with our stay! It was just perfect for us. Clean, lovely accommodations. The owners have made sure that you have about everything you need. The only thing that we noticed missing was a stove and they made sure you had a hot plate which worked great. If you wanted to heat up something like lasagna ( baked ) foods you likely could do it in the microwave. They also had a barbecue grill and heated pan available. There was also a super barbecue pit, kayaks, games. We didn't miss anything! We had all our meals right in Cougar House it was so nice. It is located near beautiful Yale lake. We spent our weekend and visited the Ape Caves and Windy Ridge.. The drive to windy ridge takes long as it is up hill but the drive back was half the time going. Just keep that in mind. Definitely recommend both. We hope to return and highly recommend! ##### Stephanie D.
