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.
Country Comfort...Cottage Amenities
Antiques and a small woodstove supply the interior of the Cottage with a sense of warmth and country comfort. The Cottage has a bedroom with a queen bed, bath with shower, fully equipped kitchen, dining and living room with sleeper sofa. You can enjoy views of the creek and surrounding woodlands while relaxing on the deck or from most every room in the Cottage.
The Cottage accommodates four (4) guests comfortably. It is hard to imagine a more inviting way to be soothed to sleep then by the rhythm of the Creek with it's small rapids above the Cottage and Elk Creek Falls below. Walk, fish, ride, run, nap, or watch the light paint pictures on the water as it flows by.
Enjoy an afternoon BBQ in the yard or take a leisurely bike ride along the many miles of country roads including a rails to trails pathway that goes from Chehalis to Hoquim on the Pacific Ocean. Access to this trail is at the turnoff from Byway #6 into Doty on Stevens Road about one mile from the Cottage. Fish for trout from the deck or sit on the deck overlooking the creek where you can simply relax in a comfortable chair, enjoy a favorite beverage, the view and the sounds of the water.
