Escape to Welch Cabin
A 501C3 ORGANIZATION
All income goes to environmental and health-related causes.
Welch Cabin is built on a purpose-driven mission to promote and protect—opening its doors to the public as a place of healing, connection, and education. Welch Cabin serves as a model for sustainable living and land stewardship, from showcasing resource efficient bio-toilets and gray water systems to protecting wild steelhead habitat.
Welch Cabin is rooted in the belief that time spent in nature restores the spirit and inspires care for the landscapes we share.
Welch Cabin is perched 90 feet above the pristine Kalama River on 19 acres of preserved forest. This secluded retreat blends wilderness charm with modern comforts like creek-processed water, hot showers, bio-toilets, internet, and a full kitchen.
Just 10 miles from Kalama, WA, the cabin offers complete privacy with no neighbors in sight. Surrounded by towering firs, cedars, and wildflowers, you’ll hear songbirds, rushing rapids, and the whisper of a mountain breeze. Relax on the sun deck or explore the untouched beauty of this one-of-a-kind getaway.
Let's be social!

DOUBLE DECKS
Two decks, one for dining and sunning, and another for a private outdoor shower and biffy with a world class view. A sturdy hammock sits on the deck atop the gin-clear river below. You can look down 90 feet into the pools and rapids or up into the treetops that soar 60 feet overhead. We idly count migrating steelhead from the deck rail.
MODERN KITCHEN
Basic kitchen has utensils, a new gas stove and an oven. A freezer/fridge provides storage for your perishables and ice for your drinks. Spring water is worth bottling to take home. Inside sit down dining for five, with additional dining on the deck aside the fire and river.

CHILL THRILLS
Fly Fishing
Our guests fly fish for steelhead and salmon and rainbow trout on a private water access. Strictly managed water means this is all catch and release, barbless fishing. Fishing is yearlong and holds challenging and beginner water. A sandbar below the cabin, within sight of the deck, is perfect to teach beginners the art of casting.
The Volcano
Mount St Helens
We are honored to be a favorite ‘residence’ for visitors for the Mt St Helens Institute. Hiking and exploring the volcano is a rare opportunity, and we will assist you with your volcano plans. Check all the options available with the institute and read their most recent newsletter.
