Kalama River Chalet

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked into an evergreen glen right across the road from the Kalama River, this charming chalet makes a peaceful - yet easy - escape into Washington's natural splendor. It's a place for beautiful days spent outside, with six kayaks (four double, two single), four innertubes, and a bike provided for your use.

This two-story cabin enjoys a particularly serene location overlooking the woods and the river's rolling waters. It feels far away from the rest of the world, yet it's only 13 miles from the conveniences of Kalama and an easy trip from Vancouver (42 miles) or Portland (51 miles). The house is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, whether that means hiking around Mt. St. Helens or playing volleyball, badminton, and basketball at home (a net, hoop, and ball are even provided).

There's so much that's special about the outdoor space here - a tree-lined lawn where your kids can play, a hammock for afternoon naps, and Adirondack chairs beckoning you to relax and take in the view. Sip your first cup of coffee with a view of the river outside on the deck, spend your afternoons barbecuing on the gas grill, and gather around the firepit in the evenings to roast marshmallows and swap stories of the day's adventures. This home also offers an outdoor movie screen and projector for evening movie watching.

The renovated interior feels both atmospheric and comfortably updated throughout. The kitchen is equipped for your every culinary whim, offering stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an adjacent dining area with ample seating. At night, cozy up to stream movies in the living room or den (both with woodstoves), retreat to the home office to log onto the high-speed WiFi, or get a tournament going on the combination pool/air hockey/Ping-Pong table.

At night, there are three bedrooms to choose from, including two downstairs with twin beds that can be made into kings if desired. Additional sleeping arrangements are found in the den, the office, and the separate converted garage.

This is a VERY beautiful and spacious house, by Kalama River. The drive is nice winding countryside road and the property is very safe and peaceful and has all modern comfortable amenities. This was also the MOST well-stocked rental we have been to. The host is extremely helpful, available and proactive and thoughtful. We had a wonderful stay.
