Location was very easy to find. Very convenient to the market about a minute away. The river was a lovely short hike down to skip rocks and keep the kids occupied for a bit, etc. We enjoyed our time around the campfire making s'mores for the night and ate our dinner on the picnic table. Very quaint place, had just enough for what we needed and the location was great. We did have the generator going all night which was a bit noisy, as we weren't sure how cold the bunk house would get with the electric radiator, otherwise it was a lovely stay. Plenty of space and plenty of things to do locally. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cabin and bunkhouse. We appreciate the time and energy it took to put it together and have guests stay over. Thank you again.
This cabin was exactly as described in the posting. It was beautiful, secluded, and clean. The host was very welcoming, helpful, and kind. He took his time guiding us through how everything in the cabin works and could not have been more friendly and welcoming. I cannot recommend this little get away spot strongly enough!
Cozy little cabin! Mark met us when we arrived and showed us everything we needed to know for the off-the-grid property. Went and saw the beaver dams nearby, and also saw some wild horses per a tip & directions from Mark. Would stay again!
We stayed at Markâs cabin because it was somewhat close to Mt. St. Helens. Here are some things we liked about the place and some that can be improved on. We liked that it had a fenced in yard for our dogs to run around in. Mark was also very responsive whenever we needed assistance with anything, and you can tell that he has put great effort into the place. There was a problem with not having hot water while we were there. Mark apologized for that, noting that he would fix it, and he offered us a free night if we came that way again. You may also have to purchase some fuel on your own if you want electricity 24/7, and as noted by others before, the place can use some cleaning.
We booked an overnight stay to celebrate a birthday and spent some time at the Toutle motocross track.
The cabin was cute and had everything we needed. The boys enjoyed the bunk house.
Great cabin on a really nice property tucked away in Toutle. It's on the more rustic side of the rentals, but exactly what we were looking for. Great times by the campfire, walking along the river, and had some drives in the area to see wild horses and incredible views.
Beautiful cabin nestled next to mt st helens, about a 40 minute drive from the mountain. River access was advertised but we were not able to access it on the advised trail.
I stayed the entire weekend and everything was great. The bed in the loft was very comfortable, even with my bad back. It was quiet and peaceful. Just what I needed. I'll be back for sure.
What a neat getaway! The private river access was the highlight, just a short walk. We were fortunate with the weather and it was so nice to wade in the chilly water when we felt too warm. The dogs LOVED running around the large fenced area and even got in the water a bit. We arrived later than expected due to traffic and Mark (host) was waiting to show us how to work the equipment and had even started a campfire for us. The cabin it's is darling! Very neat that Mark built the place himself. The only slight negatives were road noise (not a real busy road, but you are right on it) and sleeping on an air matress (we have bad backs). All the positives waaaay outshined those 2 things, though! We look forward to visiting again next Summer!
Mark was a very helpful host and the place is very rustic, which we like. But the solar panels don't store enough energy to keep the fridge on and the lights. Also, the water stopped pumping in the morning, so no water to flush toilet.
So peaceful. A lot of room to play and all the necessary amenities and then some, DIY offgrid but easy to make it work. Wifi spotty, a plus if you want to, or want your kids to, unplug, unwind and enjoy. Great scenery. Cute kids bunkhouse plus the main house. Loved it.
Mark was very communicative and supported us in all of oyr requests. This is a cozy place with a huge yard and loots of outdoor things to do near by, including walking out back to the river and swimming. This is a quiet area with lots of space to enjoy.
The cabin was perfect for our visit to Mount St. Helens. The host was so very friendly and put forth every effort to make sure we had a positive experience. We loved that the property was ideal to bring our family dog.
The owner was very communicative and overly generous in what he provided for our stay going above and beyond what we expected. Our own plans got canceled due to unexpected road closures but there was plenty to due on and nearby the cabin property and the peaceful environment lended itself well for me to get lots of reading done while the kids ran around the spacious environment. There were some unexpected problems with the solar power system but this wasn't a big deal as the gas generator worked flawlessly. You do have to be mindful of water usage since it is brought in and there is a finite supply. I would describe this as a cross between a hotel room and camping with all the best things of both . Would definitely recommend this place and love to come again.
Loved the area and property location right near the river. Great yard and huge fire pit area with hammock. The cabin and sleeping areas are very small but we had everything we needed. Make sure to bring a map as the location is tricky to find and none of our cell phones worked up there.
