About this property

Lake Merwin Creekside Retreat – Cozy Cabin in Ariel, WA

Welcome to your serene outdoor escape at Lake Merwin Getaway! This cozy cabin gives tiny home vibes with its open concept and sits on a spacious, private property perfect for families, couples, or a girls/guys weekend. Nestled along Brooks Creek near Gifford Pinchot National Forest, you’ll be close to Mount St. Helens, the Ape Caves, and miles of hiking and snowmobile trails. Enjoy coffee by the creek or relax around the large firepit while kids explore and search for creek critters. The property includes two full bathrooms (one in the cabin and one with outdoor access), tent space, picnic areas, boat parking, and an optional add-on campground with three 30-amp full hook-up RV sites. Just ½ mile from Speelyai Bay’s public boat launch, beach, and park, and close to fishing, kayaking, hunting, sno-parks, and countless outdoor adventures. Only 45 minutes from Vancouver and an hour from Portland, this retreat offers privacy, nature, and relaxation—all to yourself.
