This charming one bedroom creekside cottage overlooks Elk Creek and the falls downstream just oustide the small village of Doty which still boasts that it has one of the few remaining "real" country stores left in the state. This upper Chehalis River Valley offers striking views of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding Willapa Hills. Elk Creek is one of the few remaining pristine fishing streams that meanders down the lush volcano valleys. The cottage is 18 miles west of Chehalis near Rainbow Falls State Park on Scenic Byway #6. Antiques and "future antiques" supply the interior of the cottage with a sense of warmth and country comfort.

This is a self-catering cottage and comes with a fully equipped kitchen and bedding and accommodates four comfortably. It has a bedroom w/queen sized bed, bath, living room w/sleeper sofa and dining room. You can enjoy views of the creek from most every room in the cottage. It's hard to imagine a more inviting way to be soothed to sleep then by the rhythm of the creek. Walk, fish, ride, run, nap, cook, sit, sup or watch the light paint pictures on the water as it flows by. Enjoy an afternoon BBQ or take a leisurely bike ride along the many miles of country roads. Fish for trout from the deck or sit on the deck overlooking the creek where you can simply relax in a comfortable chair and enjoy the views and sounds of the water.

Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, and ocean beaches are close enough for short day trips by car and the cottage is less then a hours drive from Olympia the state capital. Also enjoy visiting Rainbow Falls State Park a mile down the road on Byway #6 for a variety of recreational activities including some of the best swimming holes in the area or visit the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad's steam train for a nostalgic ride along the Chehalis River. Explore the richness of this rural setting where native birds, deer and other wildlife abound. Pick wild huckleberries, spot a heard of Roosevelt elk and Black-tail deer or enjoy a meal of Rainbow or Cutthroat Trout.
