Welch Cabin <A License to Chill> 🐶we love dogs🐕

This one-of-a kind Welch Cabin is 90 feet above the fabled 'Holy Waters' of the unique Kalama River. Nineteen acres of preserved forest includes easy access to the gin-clear river. For over 20 years Welch Cabin was 'off the grid'. In 2022 we completed renovations to retain the wilderness aspects but add important modern conveniences; processed water from our creek, 'his' and 'her' Bio-Toilets along with hot showers, WI-FI and a modern kitchen.
Welch Cabin is 10 miles from the village of Kalama WA on the paved, curvy Kalama River road. Our 19 private acres are in full conservation easement and while no neighbors are within sight, other homes are less than a mile away. The forest is made of huge trees: Douglas fir, western red cedar, giant sequoia and hemlock, plus a variety of hardwoods and wild flowers. If you slow down you will hear nature: song birds and eagles, water gurgles through the rocky rapids, a cougar scream or a bolt of lightning arcing into the nearby mountain tops. And best of all, a gentle mountain breeze in fir trees soaring 50 feet directly above you. And finally, we ask dog lovers to follow the protocols of good pet hygiene: clean up after Roscoe, keep him off the furniture, and NO puppies please!
