What a wonderful place for a friend's trip hiking and exploring. From a great kitchen for meals together in the morning, to swimming mid day, to grilling and firepit at night we had a wonderful stay. Ape caves and St. Helens summit were both close by and a few steps to the water for kayaking and swimming.Melanie was great communicating and quick to respond with questions we had.House was comfortable to stay and quiet with privacy even with being close to the road.Have rented homes all over the PNW and this was one of our favorites!
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2026
