Shady Rest Cabins
Next to the Cossatot River just outside of Mena, these cabins are ideal for paddlers who want easy access to the river. The cabins are along a paved road, so visitors don't need four-wheel drive vehicles to reach them. Still, it's a good idea to call and get directions from the owners before your arrival. You'll have your choice of four cabins, each fully furnished. Rooster's Roost sleeps six and has a back deck with a view of the Cossatot. Bessie's Bunkhouse can sleep 12 and offers a deck with a view of the river as well as a grill and picnic table. Bubba's Bungalow is designed for a small family, sleeping up to four people. Lexi's Dollhouse sleeps up to two people.
