Cabins on the Toutle River , 646 South Toutle Rd.

I have put a few years in building my little get away, for family and friends, and this year I have decided to open it to the public to rent, first thing i want to mention is I hand cut every board , beam and plank myself, other then the floor which were boards over 125 yrs. old that came from a homestead cabin near here, I actually have 2 cabins, one is the main living cabin and the other i call Bunkouse #1 which has 2 sets of bunkbeds for extra sleeping and storage space, there is a small loft with one full size bed and a small set of drawers, it is confy with the short ceiling, but the view out to the North is amazing, you can see out to the end of the property where the rivers are and also Mt. Rainier in the distance, also the couch in living space is a hide a bed, The cabin is completely off the grid, I will meet with you at the property to go over a few things to know all pretty basic but power is provided with solar panels, but if battery cells run low there is a back up power inverter, which can be started remotely from inside the cabin or outside, as the picture shows I have a porta potty, but just recently added a full bathroom with a inside toilet! , the property is completely fenced in for pets and small children don't get lost, there is a trailhead at the back of yard in the pic, this leads you to the edge of a active beaver pond, and to walk the trail to the river, which is where the North Fork and South fork join and is the border of my east end of my property, you will have to cross the beaver dam then about 1/8 mile to the river, which is normally crystal clear and very warm in the summer, and is only about a 10 min. easy hike out to the river, there is a lot of hiking area around my property I am almost surrounded by Washington State Dept of Fish and Wildlife property. the cabin is heated by propane which i provide also, as well as the water heater for the shower, which there is a small shower room in the cabin with a shower and sink, pots and pans, silverware, cups are provided, firewood for the campfire is also provided, I have a nice color tv with DVD player with many, many DVDs, all family approved, my cabin located 60 miles north of Portland in the small community of Toutle where my family history goes back 130 yrs. there is a small general store 1/2 mile from the cabin, Silver Lake, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful lakes in the state, and is excellent fishing and watersports and the main resort is approx 2 miles from the cabin, also the cabin is just off of hwy504 better known as mt. St. Helens hwy, which has lots to do for visitors, from hiking, fishing and 2 different centers, Seaquest state park is also only about 5 minutes away, Long Beach Península and Ilwaco wa. on the pacific ocean are only about 1.5 hours away. There is a lot to do and besides giving you info on off grid living, I can also let you know when and where to go see a herd of wild horses which the herd has been in the area for over 100 years, and is only 5 minutes away where they come out in the afternoons, early in the mornings are the best time to see the beaver, from the edge of the yard down the bank to there pond, also we have a lot of deer come thru, I have seen otters in the river playing and also there are a few Bald Eagles nest in nearby, in the one pic is my grandkids playing in the river when a eagle flies right over them to catch a fish. Just added a new picture the horses are part of the wild Toutle horse herd, who have been free to roam in the near area for approx. 140 years, first set free by local homesteaders who released to the wild when no longer needed, the now are taken care of by local horseman/woman who feed them in the winter, for my guest I will draw an easy map to go see where they come nearly every evening at dusk and it is only 5 minutes from cabin/
