Cascadia Inn

Went here again and was again very happy with my stay here. The food is fantastic on the restaurant side, and the specials are a great deal. Friendly wait staff and good Americana eats to be had. It feels homey in the café, with the quiet atmosphere occasionally broken by a passing train. The lodging is adequate, homey, and intimate, with in this case are good things. Enjoy conversation with other travellers and enjoy complimentary WiFi in the lounge. Would absolutely recommend this business on both the hotel and café side. Thanks to Cheryl and Henry for another fantastic stay. b

Absolutely amazing motel! Henry the owner was very warming. It is perfect for someone staying over while visiting Stevens Pass. Extremely clean, each room has a heater, a TV, clean bathroom, towel shampoo etc. We got the rooms with a private bath which was nice.
They even serve breakfast and have an amazing TV room with board games. The breakfast is extremely well priced and filling.
Highly recommend this and wi stay again.
You can’t book online since it is such a small place. It is more of a B&B.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! After a 3 ½ day camping trip… so awesome! Good coffee The Soup du Jour” was «Cabbage Patch» basically a chili stew with cabbage in it. REALLY well done! I had the «Mahoney» chicken breast sandwich on a hoagie roll, bacon lettuce, tomato, avocado, melted cheese… I am NOT a sandwich lover and I LOVED this! My hubby had the melted Swiss Turkey. Also top notch! Katrina was great, very nice and really great to talk to. All with a side of perfect fries… if you’re in Skykomish or passing by, turn in & it’s right off the highway. Nomnomnom!!!

We didn’t stay in the Inn. This review is for the Café. They serve the BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!! We were staying in a cabin close by and stopped in for their breakfast buffet. It was SO wonderful. Everything is made from scratch and from fresh ingredients. The bacon was fantastic, and the service was excellent. I highly, highly recommend the Cascadia Inn Café for breakfast!

Surprising great breakfast. A limited menu but perfectly executed. Some still can blow breakfast. I will be back for sure!

*great breakfast and super cozy bar
*awesome friendly service
*sunday brunch is so nice to have in sky

Tasty garden veggie burger with a very nice dinner salad option for a buck more. Simple, but good, served with a smile. Like!

Cute place, great location, nice folks, LOUD TRAINS. Rudimentary accommodations. Squeaky beads, thin walls, cheap pillows, scratchy sheets. Our bathroom smells like Tom cats just sprayed in there. Slight mold smell everywhere.
UPDATE
We moved down the hall, facing away from the trains. No private bath but that’s no problem. We both slept great. No TV in this room but we aren’t here for TV.
Think of this place as being more like a hostel. There is a shared kitchen/​lounge with what you would expect from a hostel: incomplete games, books, old furniture, and abandoned food in the fridge. Bring slippers for your walk to the bathroom and earplugs for the trains. There isn’t a store for miles that sells conditioner or moisturizer so bring that too if it’s important to you.
People here have been remarkably accommodating, personable, and just nice. I can’t imagine they’re making much money at this.

Stopped in for breakfast on Sunday, learned they only serve buffet breakfast (no kitchen orders till noon). Left without eating because the buffet didn’t look appealing. Really just leaving this review so people go in expecting a buffet — since I didn’t eat the food can’t say if it’s good or not.

A True Ma & Pa Café that serves GREAT comfort food. They have a breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner Menu. The Wife & I had Lunch there and everything was as good as it gets!
After Riding The Great Northern & Cascade Railways ¹⁄₈ scale trains, it’s a good place to eat. This Café tops any place anywhere near Skykomish! Check this café out if you like good food & Service. They even have REAL old time milk shakes

Been here many times, food and service is always 4 star however their ADA access sucks.
Last week we were Motorhoming and didn’t want to cook, so we ordered by Cell Phone and got GREAT burgers and fries to go. Then, since it was Saturday we parked by the «Free Ride» model steam railroad and watched people, from the comfort of our own dining room. SKYKOMISH is all new, BNSF railroad did a nice job rebuilding the little town.

I stopped here after driving back from Leavenworth. The bacon cheeseburger was great, the fries were good, and the service was both friendly and quick.
Access is easy — the Cascadia Inn is about one minute off Highway 2.

What a fabulous experience! Such a cute place, great service, really friendly and happy to see us. We ordered fresh Copper River Salmon, potatoes, brussels sprouts — mmm mmmmm! Best salmon I’ve had in a long time.
You’ve got to take a stop in the bar, too, and mingle with the locals. Well worth it!

All I can say is, «I miss this place!» The food was always hot, and delicious. The host and Hostess’ were always polite and accomidating. Henry and his team are aces in my book! Really miss you all!

The Cascadia Inn is similar to a pension — cozy, rooms with and without bathrooms and a bank of nice showers and bathrooms at the start of the hall.
The owner, Henry, is a retired CPA and is on site almost all the time. He is a great host.
I teach skiing at Stevens one day a week and so often will stay here so that I don’t have so far to drive in the morning! I often will grab a bite to eat in the restaurant or little bar downstairs — or head to the pub next door.

The burgers and the bartender were beautiful: things my friend and I did not expect in an old railroad tavern in a remote mountain town. I fully recommend this place for their bacon cheeseburger and the unique small-​town, railroad, nostalgic atmosphere. From the reviews it sounds like the Inn is worth coming back for as well on a snowy weekend in the future.

Some friends and I crashed here for two nights while on a boarding trip at Stevens. All in all, it’s an awesome, low-​budget hideaway for those wanting to play in the snow several days in a row, but not drive back and forth over the pass (or pay a ton of money for a lodge closer to Stevens).
PROS:
1. Convenient. Just 5 miles from Stevens.
2. Cheapo! Prices range from $ 20 – 80 a night, with some private rooms/​private baths, and some shared bunkbed lodging and communal baths.
3. Food was surprisingly good! I didn’t expect much from the diner, given the crazy snowstorm and seemingly lack of access to fresh produce. But my burger had fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. And the fries, my friends and I all agree, were amazingly good. Super crispy, uniform, hot, tasty fries.
4. Henry is a one man show! He does it all. Nice, eager to please, and efficient.
CONS:
1. Not the cleanest. But this is what you can expect from a hostel with such decent prices. There was no handsoap in the communal bathroom. And the lounge area was grimy, dusty, and dingy.
2. Thin walls and creaky beds. Heard a couple getting it on upstairs for hours. Man.

Nice place to stay. Nothing fancy, European style lodging
(mostly shared baths.) Trains… I like them. Great price. Café and lounge attached, the blueberry pie was delicious. Another bar down the block, Stevens Pass up the road.

I am a huge fan of this place. It’s not fancy AT ALL, but for a town with a population of 200 this is glorious.
It doubles as diner and hotel. The diner is decent enough (nothing special), but the hotel is really quaint and fun.
For $ 75 a night you get your own bathroom, bed, and dish TV. The bed is creaky and our bathroom door wouldnt lock, but the blanket was a real quilt and it all felt very homey while still maintaining hotel-​style privacy.
The bathroom had excellent water pressure! Maybe bring your own shampoo though, the kind they provide smells like Axe body spray.
Trains go by every 3 hours in the night, so dont sleep with your window open!
The hotel also has a do-​it-​yourself walking tour brochure which was lots of fun. Tells you all the history about the city, takes you by the river and the train tracks.
If you want a normal hotel this might not be for you, but this is a hospitable, clean, quaint little gem!

There are basically three businesses here and I won’t be reviewing the bar.
The hotel offers rooms with private and shared baths. We got a king bed with a private bath for $ 85 and the prices just go down from there to $ 25 for a bunk bed and shared bath.
Our room was basically big enough to fit the king bed and a stand for the flat screen TV and not much else. The bathroom has all the standard arrangements with the oddity that the mirror was split into two pieces with 3 – 4 inches of space between them, overall a easy and cheap place to stay if you are doing stuff up by Stevens Pass.
Then there is the issue of the train. I the hotel is from my best guess 50 feet away from the rail road tracks and the trains seems to be pretty active there. If the horn blows you should cover your ears and otherwise be prepared to not hear the TV and have the room shake. Now being the noise sensitive person I am I thought this would be an issue but I didn’t hear the train till 6:20 am about when I normally wake up anyways. I contribute this to a 5+ hour snowshoe hike during the day and 2 Sierra Nevada Pale Ales with dinner. My girlfriend was woken up several times throughout the night by the trains coming though.
The diner was ok as well. For dinner I had a bowl of chili and a sandwich called the The Malone which hit the spot after a long hike. Be aware though that there chili contains evil beans but is otherwise decent. For breakfast I had the half biscuits and gravy with sausage. There was a lot more gravy then I expected but I don’t necessarily consider this a bad thing. Also I was impressed to see sausage patties instead of links.
All the staff we met were incredibly nice and helpful. I wish the rooms were a bit bigger and the rooms sound proofed against the train but otherwise not a bad stay.
