At The Helm Hotel & Waterline Pub

We had an excellent time having some drinks at the bar here over the weekend. Tara was amazing as were everyone on the staff. Next time we are in Ilwaka will book a night here. Wonderful experience and great find!

Came into the pub for some drinks and appetizers. The chowder and clams were fantastic as well as the drinks. Irene was so kind and wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Right before God rested on the 7th day he created The Inn at the Helm! My fiancé surprised me for a birthday weekend getaway and our entire stay blew us both away. We truly didn’t want to leave! Needless to say, I’ve worked in the service industry for many years so I have a fairly high standard of excellence that I’m used to. Yes… I can be fairly picky. But, our entire stay was beyond exceptional. I don’t have a single thing I would’ve changed. Everything was beyond perfect. From the breathtaking view from our room, the adorable room itself, the welcome drinks and snacks in our room when we arrived, the outstanding complementary full breakfast and mimosas each morning and my birthday dinner and melt in your mouth chocolate lava cake with raspberries… I can’t stop thinking about it! Each and every meal we had was beyond delicious! The freshest seafood I’ve had in the longest time! Now on to the customer service. Irene and the owner were both beyond gracious and welcoming. They made us both feel like old friends visiting their home. I’ve worked for a 5 star hotel and also high end restaurants for well over 20 years. They both are literally the best of the best at what they do. I’m reluctant to write this excellent review because I want this hidden gem all to myself! Thank you for making this much needed getaway so very special and beyond memorable! We can’t wait to return! Next time we’re staying longer!

Cannot say enough about this boutique hotel- absolutely phenomenal!

Irene welcomed us like we were her girlfriends coming to stay the weekend with her… so excited to see us.
So pleased with our “Double D” queen room for our girls trip. So large, great hospitality bar set up with fresh filtered water and a wine fridge for all of our beverages and snacks.The room was so clean. The perfect amt of space for our girls trip.
After we set our bags down and headed downstairs to the pub, she had a glass of yummy Rose waiting for us.
Dinner was incredible- the nosh board was incredible. Those OYSTERS- amazing! 🦪
Probably one of my fav martinis I’ve had too!

Hands down one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept too…

Breakfast is included with your room reservation and it was a tasty homemade quiche Marcene made…such a treat.

It was a quick 24 yr trip and we didn’t want to leave at alll… wish we could’ve stayed another night.
Beautiful hotel, incredible staff, the food and the coziest room. THANK YOU!

A great place to stay with newly renovated rooms, a wonderful pub with great drinks and food and the friendliest and most accommodating staff. Nearby attractions include Cape Disappointment and Long Beach. Had a wonderful time!!!
