Leave the city behind for 'Brill's Hideaway,' a 2-bed, 1.5-bath A-frame chalet located at the flank of Mt. St. Helens. This Cougar vacation rental is a refuge from the daily grind, with miles of trails on-site and plenty of space for families to relax. Spend the day horseback riding through the lava beds, fishing for kokanee, or curling up by the fire with a book. Here, your imagination is the only limit.

What a gorgeous place! Super comfy bed! Amazing location where we explored Ape Cave and Mt. St Helens, it was so nice to be that close yet secluded. Host was super sweet and responsive. No A/C really not a big deal - opening the doors with screens really cools the place down. I love nature but not the bugs, yet never saw a single bug inside. An amazing place, would definitely recommend and stay again!

The biggest advantage of this property is its location. It was a great base for exploring the south side of Mount St. Helens and accessing several excellent hikes nearby. The home felt more like a personal cabin than a professionally managed vacation rental. Guests looking for a polished, hotel-like experience with everything carefully organized and stocked may find it a bit more rustic and lived-in. Coffee drinkers may want to plan ahead as the available brewing options were limited to an older-style percolator and a basic drip coffee setup.

Comfortable home atmosphere where we could unwind and fix dinner after a busy day of exploring and hiking. Host responded quickly to questions. Laundry was not available-- however we planned for that so it was not an issue.
