Description

Tranquil Retreat...This Charming one bedroom creekside cottage
overlooks Elk Creek just outside the small rural town of Doty which
still boasts that it has one of the few remaining "real country
stores" in the state. The upper Chehalis River valley offers
striking views of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding Willapa Hills
which
are densely forested and homes to a wide variety of birds and
wildlife. Elk Creek is one of the few remaining pristine fishing
streams that meanders down the lush volcanic valleys in Lewis County.

Country Comfort...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 very comfortable queen bed, bath with
shower, fully equipped kitchen, dining room and living room with
sleeper sofa.

From rolling hills and valleys in the west to mountainious regions
in
the east, Volcano County, suggests a feeling of time past. Lewis
County, named after the explorer, Meriweather Lewis, where the
cottage in located in Doty is the largest and oldest county in the
state. The area suggests a feeling of times past with the historic
cities of Centralia and Chehalis and other towns that evoke
that "small town charm." The Cottage is located in the southwest
corner of Lewis County in the Willipa Hills which are part of the
coastal range.

The cottage sits right on Elk Creek. You can enjoy views of the
creek and surrounding woodlands while relaxining on the deck or from
most every room in the cottage. The cottage accommodates four
people
comfortably. It is hard to imagine a more inviting way to be
soothed
to sleep then by the rhythm of the creek with its rapids above the
cottage and waterfall below.

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
diamonds and swings for the "kid in you." Also along Byway #6 you
can visit the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad's Steam Train for
nostalgic
ride along the Chehalis.
