Accommodations: Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Bunk Area, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6-8)
Keywords: Cabin Retreat
The ST HELENS CABIN at Cowlitz River Cabins Retreat is a newly constructed, 1036 square foot fully furnished, beautiful A-frame cabin representing the quintessential style of vacation homes. This A-frame is as affordable as it is adorable!
The cabin’s exterior is made of hand scribed logs and cedar siding presenting a rustic charm, making it the perfect woodsy getaway. The interior has a spacious feel due to the open floor plan and the 22-ft vaulted ceiling, which soars above the great room. The room is bathed in sunlight by large windows with uniquely crafted valances. Several walls are beautifully painted a terra cotta two-toned color, which accentuates the vertical timber columns and horizontal logs seen throughout the room. Featured in the center of the great room, sits a gas stove, which burns with the natural look of real wood, and warms the entire first & second floors. The kitchen includes an island, which provides ample space for preparing meals and/or serves as an eating bar. A huge skylight brightens both the kitchen and dining areas.
The romantic bedroom/loft overlooks the living room and features beautiful mission style furniture. When your day is done, the queen size bed envelops your body into a heavenly white goose down feather bed. On the main floor, there are 2 built-in cozy bunker beds (1 full, 1 queen) with adorable woodsy animal printed curtains that draw closed for privacy.
Outside, a wide set of stairs that bring you up to the entrance features patios on each side. A private jetted hot tub sits on one side and on the other, a barbecue and picnic table to enjoy an outdoor meal.
Cowlitz River Cabin Retreat serves equally well as a weekend cabin, summer retreat, or a ski chalet. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy its proximity to White Pass Recreation area and Gifford Pinchot National Forest, which offers many year round recreational opportunities. This area is not "touristy" yet attracts thousands of visitors due to it's rugged beauty. If it's peace and tranquility that you’re seeking, you might curl up with a good book or take a stroll down to the river and sit and listen to the water!
This woodland site is shared with numerous wildlife creatures such as elk, deer, raccoons, and wild geese, to name a few. In the early morning and evening hours, frogs from a nearby pond will occasionally serenade you. If you look overhead, you will often spot a pair of eagles soaring high above, but sometimes you have to take a closer look as what your seeing may instead be hang-gliders who have leaped off nearby dog-mountain, soaring like eagles and are a real treat to watch! Anyone interested in a tandem?

Tricia & Bill, Steven and I had such a great time at the cabin this weekend. Spent 2 or 3 hours sitting down at the river on Sat. afternoon with some lunch. Saturday night we were able to sit in the hot tub and had a clear sky to stare at the stars. We watched a few DVD's and just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank-you. Nedda

Dear Bill and Tricia: What a wonderful stay we had at your beautiful piece of Heaven. We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. Both of us agree that we could not have found a better place to enjoy it. Everything about the cabin was great. You have it furnished and decorated very nice. Hope to come another time to enjoy. The morning before we left we were looking out the window that faces the river and saw two elk feeding by the shoreline. Thanks again. Scott & Janet

Absolutely lovely accommodations!! Great for a family!! We had a wonderful time discovering each Christmas decoration you had - tasteful and fun. Excellent music & video libraries! The propane stove, window views, cozy hot tub, bunker beds and especially snow falling on the slanted window in the kitchen delighted us. We had a refreshing family time. You have lovely property and have built amazing homes!!!! Thank you

We had the pleasure of staying at Bill and Trish's cabin for two nights in August. It was our 12 year old twins birthday party and we wanted to do something different and special for them. This ended up being their favorite birthday ever! They played in the river, fished in the pond, went on walks, sat in the hot tub, roasted smores, and wound down the evening eating popcorn and watching a movie. It was a birthday they will never forget! Thank you Trish and Bill for your hospitality and for sharing your beatiful cabin with us.

We were looking for a quiet,peaceful cabin. We found much more--this is a beautiful,clean,comfortable and spacious cabin. There were caring touches such as fresh fruit in a basket, and microwave popcorn available. There was a portable stereo with numerous relaxing CD's. The scenery is beautiful especially when the mist is lifting in the morning. A real bargain!!! Sincerely, Kelli Osborne
