About this property

A Cabin in the Woods

UPDATE: We now offer an amazing outdoor shower overlooking our ponds as well as a private seating area with a chiminea and bbq!!!

Newly remodeled studio cabin that was originally a 1900's Lineman's Shed from the Willapa Harbor branch line of the Northern Pacific railroad company that ran from Chehalis, WA to South Bend, WA. That line has now been converted to a 56 mile long biking, hiking and equestrian trail that follows the beautiful Chehalis River. The working Willaway Forest and Farm is 87 acres, and with a direct private access road leading to the trail, the property would be a great stay over or starting point for a beautiful few days of bicycling or hiking this part of the Chehalis River Basin. The Lineman's Studio Cabin has a plush queen bed, 1/2 bath and full refrigerator and sink with basic utensils as well as an electric skillet , microwave and coffee maker. Electric heat is available as well as a beautiful woodstove. A large sliding window in the sitting area offers a beautiful view of the ponds where you may be lucky enough to see one of our frequent flying visitors such as Canadian geese or blue heron. Willaway is a largely wooded area with a few clearings where you will see blacktail deer, eagles and barn owls near daily. The Lineman's Studio sits next to a few small ponds that hold catfish and blue gill and some very soothing sounding bullfrogs. A network of trails throughout the property give you ample opportunities to see wildlife and forage off of the land. Yes please help yourself to some of those quarter sized blackberries, pick a few of the young Douglas fir tips in the spring to nibble on as you walk or try a few different salal berries. Don't forget to look down as you peruse the trails or play in the river as Adna area is famous for it's beautiful deep red to bright orange carnelian agates! For winter stays bring your fishing pole and try for the elusive winter steelhead or acrobatic silver salmon. And come warmer weather bring your favorite flotation device and spend the day soaking up the all important Vitamin D on the river! Located on property we are available when needed but allow you all the privacy you require.
We are located about 15 minutes from the town of Adna which is the closest small grocery and are about 20 minutes from I-5 and the city of Chehalis.

A historic Lineman's cabin. Unique stay in Chehalis

One of a kind cabin with everything you need. Be prepared to completely disconnect. First, the property is vast! Acres to explore. The property borders Willipa Hills trail and the Chehalis. After a day of adventure, unwind by the fire, take a hot shower outdoors under the stars!Great hosts and a wonderful experience.We will be back!

Cozy place to hide away. The rain shower was an absolute treat- even in cooler weather. We really enjoyed only hearing insects and quiet at night :) Host was the perfect amount of attentive.

We had so much fun staying at the cabin! We were lucky enough to experience a thunder storm while we were there. All the sounds were so amazing. Lorie and her husband are so easy to get along with and helpful if issues arise! 2nd time staying and will definitely be back.

Omgosh I can't say enough about this place! When you come up to it it's a little rustic on the outside which is absolutely cute. Once you open the door it is so Charming inside! And the outdoor shower, that is the best rain head shower I've ever had! It puts out so much pressure, and they have a tankless water heater so you can stand there as long as you want. I would absolutely recommend this place!

Chehalis Getaway

From the initial winding, wooded drive to this secluded spot to my final walk on the trails down to swim in the river, this was the most wonderful, relaxing three day weekend I've experienced in a long time! The property had all I needed for my stay. The bed was so comfortable, and I had everything to cook my meals there the entire time. I did wish there was a sofa (instead of the two chairs) for watching TV late at night, but that's just my preference ;) I loved having my coffee next to the big window, looking out into the woods, and hearing NOTHING but the occasional bird song. And the outdoor shower... what a heavenly treat! Thank you for providing the thick robe to wear after showering, too. Although it was too warm to use the chiminea, I enjoyed the sitting area behind the shower. It was a nice spot for evening drinks with the lights. Thank you for sharing your place!

Chehalis river weekend

We had a wonderfull stay. We played on the river during the day and enjoyed a few movies in the Cabin after hours. There is a white noise device so you can go to sleep to the sound of rain and thunder 😉

Charming Farm Getaway

Enjoyed our weekend getaway at this clean and tidy cabin with a lovely view of the pond. Made good use of the hand-drawn map of trails around the property and enjoyed a comfy bed to sleep in at the end of the day. Quiet and secluded. Would love to return in the fall and use the wood burning stove. Thank you!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Hosts are wonderful. Only complaint is..if you park in front of Cabin you will have red sap from the tree above all over your vehicle..pull further forward to avoid this. Car wash does take care of the mess.

I loved the beauty of the trees and seclusion. It was very clean and comfortable. The outside shower was very nice with the robes to walk out in. Downside was that the entrance door was not at all secure and it could be pushed opened because it did not latch at all. That really surprised me that the only securement was the inside chain. Then the odor coming from the bathroom drain was terrible when I was brushing my teeth.

Peace and quiet

We loved how quiet it was the entire time. We work 50 he weeks so being able to come out here and just shut everything off was absolutely perfect. I had never used an outside shower before so this was my first time and I loved it. We got to escape for about 3 days and I couldn’t of asked for a better place to escape too!

Romance for the wild at heart

Beautiful unique home off the beaten path. This home has been well cared for. We showered outside in the rain and the snow. Hiked throughout the many paths on the property. Navigated to the river, hunted for rocks. Cooked a couple great meals and relaxed by the fire. Plenty of wood and an easy to use stove. We will be back when fishing is open and the river is a little lower. Ps. No WIFI so if you care about that, stay in the city. This place is one of a kind!

Peace and Quiet

This property was exactly what was advertised! It was a great place to be, with easy access to city's and town within 15 miles. The host, Lori and Joe were very pleasant people and they accommodated us in every way that we needed. It was a joy to stay there, and we had everything in the unit to use, including a bunch of movies. If you are looking to disconnect from a busy city life, this is the place.

This is THE place to stay if you are in the Chehallis area. The little cabin has everything you would need for your stay and more. The outdoor shower really adds to the experience! They also provide a map for some walking trails you can enjoy. There is a river nearby where fishing, floating, and relaxing can be done. We will definitely be looking to visit again!

Hidden Nature Oasis

It was better than I expected, but at the same time, just what I was hoping for. The cabin is perfectly tucked away in a canopy of trees next to a pond. It does share the property with the owners, but we hardly noticed them. When we did meet them by the river they were friendly and even offered to bring my SUP board down to the river for us on their quads. Bull frogs and birds serenaded us the whole time. The bed way comfy. We were happy to make use of the fridge, coffee pot with supplied coffee and filters, microwave, BBQ, seasonings and foil on hand, the outdoor shower (which was a very nice touch) and we watched a few movies. We rode our bikes on the trails they had carved out on their property. It was so nice to not have to leave for entertainment, there was plenty for us right there. We very much needed this relaxing get away. Thank you for hosting this little oasis of yours.

About the host

Hosted by Lorie Wadsworth

Host profile image
Willaway Forest and Farm was our dream property when we purchased in late 2018 and we are so excited to share it. The property sits along the Willapa Hills State Park Trail which is 56 miles long extending from Chehalis, WA to South Bend, WA near the coastline. We also are fortunate to have about 1 mile of river front along the Chehalis River. Perfect for summer swimming or winter boating for fishing. Our 87 acres where owned only by one other family prior to our purchase and was homesteaded by the previous owners grandfather. The Lineman's Cabin was a temporary housing for the family of 4 as they rebuilt after a fire claimed their original wood cabin home. It was brought up by skids from along the old railway that ran along the property and placed where it stands today. Surrounded by Douglas Fir and big leaf Maple the property is secluded and quiet. The nights sky is bright with stars during the summer and a light coat of winter frost or snow transforms the landscape into a picture postcard.
