About this house rental

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.

    Everything one could possibly want from every single amenity anyone could ask for to extra towels linens and pillows. This place seriously has it all!! The only thing anyone might want to know is that it's not directly on the river , it states that in the property distribution but the only way to get access to the river is to drive a little ways down the street it's not a big deal but it's not really walkable due to no walking paths. Otherwise it's amazing in every way possible and the view is gorgeous. We had a blast for my 50th birthday and college friend reunion. We will be back!!

    Wow! So many great things to say about this home. The layout is perfect for a larger group giving everyone their own space as well as ample common space. We loved the games in the shop and make s’mores in the fire pit. The house was stoked above and beyond to normal vrbo rentals. Everything was so clean and tidy. The beds were so comfortable too! The owner was a delete to talk to and we will be renting from them again at either this home or one of their others. 10 out of 10 would recommend this home or one of their others.

    The property is well keep with lots of room for activities and game. There is okay access to walking and the river, but this stop is better suited for staying in.
