This charming one bedroom creekside cottage overlooks Elk Creek just outside the small rural village of Doty, Washington which still boasts that it 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 wide variety of birds and wildlife. Elk Creek is one of the pristine fishing streams that meanders down the lush volcano valleys in Lewis County.
PROPERTY PROFILE
The cottage is located 18 miles west of Chehalis in southwest Washington near Rainbow Falls State Park on Scenic Byway #6. The Park,only a mile away from the cottage, has several miles of trails through old growth forest, great swimming holes, picnic shelters, baseball diamonds and swings for the "kid in you." Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier and ocean beaches are close enough for short day trips by car and it's less then an hours drive from Olympia the state capital. Also along Byway #6 you can visit the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad's steam train for a nostalgic ride along the Chehalis River and just as you turn off Byway #16 into Doty you cross the Chehalis-Raymond Rails to Trail. This trail will take you all the way to the Pacific Ocean from Doty a distance of 35 miles.
COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATIONS
Antiques and "future antiques" supply the interior of the cottage with a sense of warmth and country comfort. The cottage has a bedroom with a queen sized bed, full bath, fully equipped kitchen (full sized range and refrigerator), and a living room with an electric wood stove and a sleeper sofa and dining room. 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 people comfortably.
It's hard to imagine a more inviting way to be soothed to sleep then by the rhythm of the creek with it's rapids above the cottage and waterfall below. Allow yourself to be drawn in by the beauty of the creek and surrounding woodlands. Calm prevails over this unique location where even the sunlight walks on tiptoes.

Each morning take your favorite beverage in hand and 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.
