Fodor's Expert Review Soap Lake Natural Spa & Resort

This resort on the shore of Soap Lake combines two historical lodgings into one—the former Notaras Lodge with its rustic-cabin style rooms and the Inn at Soap Lake, which originally opened in 1915 and has rooms and standalone cottages. The lodge-style rooms have quirky touches like split-stump stools and beds with log frames, as well as photos and other artifacts from the original owner. Some accommodations have both refrigerators and microwaves; several have whirlpool baths. Outside there's a hot tub, sauna, fire pits, private beach, hammocks, games, and beach toys.
