SW Washington's "Volcano Country"
We are located in the rolling hills and valleys in known as the Willappa Hills part of the coastal range in Lewis County and the mountainious regions east of us is known as "Volcano Country". Lewis County, named after the explorer, Meriweather Lewis, is the oldest county in the state. The area suggests a feeling of times past with the historic cities of Centralia and Chehalis along with Doty and its neighbors Dryad and Pe Ell evoke that "small town charm." The Cottage is located 18 miles west of Chehalis near Rainbow Falls State Park on Scenic Byway #6. The Park has trails through old growth forest, great swimming holes, picnic shelters, baseball diamond and swings for the "kid in you."
The Cottage sits right above Elk Creek. You can enjoy view of the Creek and surrounding woodlands while relaxing on the deck or from almost any room in the home. The small town of Doty is just a half mile from the Cottage and is open 7 days a week and has everything you need food, beverages, colletables and video rentals along with penny candy and a very friendly owner and her staff who love to talk with our guests at the Cottage and give them tips on where to go and what to do.
Private Creekfront Retreat
This charming one bedroom creekside cottage overlooks Elk Creek just outside the small rural village of Doty in SW Washington State. Doty still boasts that is has one of the few remaining "real" country stores in the state. The Doty Store comes complete with a front porch, wood floors and a "postage stamp" sized Post Office and penny candy. This upper Chehalis River Valley offers striking views of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding Willapa Hills which are densely forested and home to a variety of birds and wildlife. Elk Creek is one of the prestine fishing steratms that meanders down the lush volcano valley in Lewis County.
