Tranquil Creekside 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 Doty Store comes complete with a front porch, wood floors, 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 few remaining pristine fishing streams that meanders down the lush volcanic valleys in Lewis County.

Explore the rich diversity of the southwestern Coast Range. The Cottage is located 18 miles west of Chehalis in southwest Washington near Rainbow Falls State Park on Scenic Byway #6. The Park, only 2 miles from the Cottage, has trails through old growth forest, great swimming holes, picnic shelter, baseball diamonds and swings for the "kid in you." Mt. St. Helen's and 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.
