Nestled just 300 yards from Santiam River & Park in Mill City, Oregon, and conveniently situated off Hwy 22, our cabin offers an ideal piece of nature and local history while still having the neighborhood features and comforts. The Cabin was built as their home in 1948 by the Stewart family. Betty Kelle would eventually be the mayor of Gates Oregon. We've gone to great lengths to preserve the history of canyon life when Betty and her husband lived the Canyon life fueled by the timber industry. It's been fully renovated in 2022 reclaiming wood from local sawmills and keeping much of the original timber logged by Mr. Bob Kelle in the 40's. The cabin features a queen sized Seely mattress and a single sized pull-out sofa suitable for children only. 45Gal hot water heater, shower, kitchenette, space heaters and portable AC. Fast fiber internet and TV with BYO streaming capabilities. Within walking distance, you'll find stores, the post office, a boat launch, Kimmel Park, and more! This cabin is perfect for kayakers, fishermen, and skiers seeking proximity to the river, hot springs, hiking, Silver Falls, and more. Please note that, at present, there is ongoing landscaping work to complete the cabin and you may see some fresh paint. Plans to bring in HVAC, concrete parking area, and picnic area are in the works for late 2026.

Best Accommodations Ever

Kelle Cabin by the Santiam

It may be a small cabin but it has tons of amenities. The attention to detail and the cleanliness were outstanding. One of those rare times when the reality is even better than the pictures. I can't think of a time when I've had better accommodations.

The cabin was super cute! We enjoyed our stay very much. It was cool that for a very short walk you could get dinner. The owner also left some instructions to get to a public swimming area on the river, if we had more time we would have went and checked it out!

Charming tiny house made with love

Kelle Cabin by the Santiam

The only thing that went wrong at this stay was that I didn’t stay longer, because I loved it so much. Our host, and even the people in the neighborhood, were kind and welcoming and full of information about the area. The place itself was the perfect home away from home. It was charming and comfortable, with a joyful ambience of music and nice smells and obvious love and care put into the cabin. It was clean, cozy, and just downright delightful. In my minds eye, the cabin lived in a more remote area, but instead it’s tucked away in a sweet little close knit neighborhood, which worked really well for our purposes. I highly recommend staying with this family. 5 stars!!
