The Last Resort

The cutest last stop before arriving to your cabin! I always enjoy stopping in the Last Resort during the snow storms or even during a hot summer day. They have everything you might have forgotten :)

I got a room here one night when I was caught in a rainstorm riding my motorcycle. The staff was very friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the rates were very reasonably
The diner was open late and it served breakfast all day.

I have been stopping by this place for 15 years or so as I would leave my good friend’s cabin down the road. We always stop here for bfast before we go home and they have the best French Toast ever! Simple little spot, greasy spoon style, great food must try if you are ever in the area.

My review may be a little different than most. I have spent a large part of my 36 years visiting the last resort. From ownership changes, weather changes, and changes in local laws. I’ve seen it all. The current owner, Don. A great, honest, and stand up guy. He was the first owner I can remember from my earliest childhood. He bought the business back and I couldn’t be happier. His son in law Tim is a great guy and has helped us WELL BEYOND what could be expected. I can’t express enough, if you want to ROCK some snow machines or have some serious fun at the lake. Call don or Tim. And If you get stuck, call don or Tim. They come get you.

A surprising place right outside of Roslyn, «The Last Resort» offers snowmobile rentals. We had never tried snowmobiling, but on our way to hike the mountains we stopped just to check it out. It’s a family-​run business, and the owner was extremely helpful. Not a lot of flash and glitz, very honest… we decided to give it a try. It was LOADS of fun. We rented a double for the afternoon, and when we went to return it, he gave us the option to go out on singles. The experience from start to finish was great! His whole staff was friendly, and they go out of their way to make sure you have what you a good time.

I just don’t know what happened!!!
The «last resort /​starlight /​whatever they call it these days» was always one of my favorite parts about going snowmobiling in Cle Elum. My buddy has a cabin in Pinelock Sun and you can ride the ridge on your snowmobiles from doorstep to doorstep. My favorite part was the bar of course, when it was the original «last resort» it rocked!
Every night of every weekend I was in Roslyn I was at the last resort. When it became the starlight they did Karaōke and that was actually a step up on the «fun meter.» Recently this last season «2011−2012» we ventured back and I was absolutely SHOCKED to see the bar was closed… not closed but CLOSED DOWN!
They were still serving beer in the dining area but you were sitting around families and the atmosphere was… well… less then inviting for the enthusiastic at heart. I actually dont even drink anymore but I still enjoy the atmosphere and playing a game of pool while pumping quarters into the old Juke box. I was very saddened by the recent changes they have made to a place I’d been frequenting for over a decade.
I hear it’s back up for sale yet again, I hope some rich Microsoft guy swoops in and turns it around. I’ll check back in every time I’m in the area in hopes that maybe Don got this Unilocal review and had a change of heart. I know times are hard but by all means DO NOT EVER, EVER close down a bar. Depressed people DRINK!

We have driven by several times but, never when we were hungry enough to stop. Yesterday, our hunger and curiosity were satisfied. The prices are fair and everything is prepared fresh, to order. The meat comes from a local butcher and the owners said they try to buy as much local food as possible.

This is our Sunday breakfast place. Decent menu, fair prices, and good food, you can’t go wrong. Good omelets, and great biscuits and gravy! Yummmm!
