About this property

This Historic Fort Stevens officer’s quarters, built in 1905, is bursting with character, from the charming front porch and original fir floors to the ornate tin ceilings and crystal chandeliers. A quick drive, or short bike ride on trails, will take you into Fort Stevens State Park, a 3,700 acre park with miles of ocean and river beaches, scenic hiking and biking trails, and a beautiful lake. The house is a two hour drive from Portland and a little over three hours from Seattle.

The space
Walk through the door of the Historic Officer's Quarters and step back in time. This house was built by the military in 1905 to house the officers and their families for the adjacent Fort Stevens military base. It is filled with fir floors, tin ceilings, chandeliers, and a grand entry staircase. The expansive front porch is a wonderful place to relax while looking out at the surrounding historic homes, and the original marching grounds that are now a city park. This is the perfect home base to explore the history and natural beauty of the Oregon Coast. We have an outdoor shed with beach toys, outdoor games, and bikes for riding the trails to the beach.

Things to note:
1. We have lovingly restored this historic home. It is the ideal place to take your family, or have an intimate get-together with a few friends, but it is not a party house. We are very strict about the 6 person maximum occupancy.

2. There is parking for 3 mid-sized cars at the house. We unfortunately don't have parking available for boat trailers or RVs. A few miles from the house is the Hammond Marina. Boats can be launched there and parking is available for boat trailers.

3. Our house is a strict no smoking house. Please do not book our home if you are a smoker. Please do not smoke anywhere on the property, including the front porch. Thank you!

4. We do not allow pets of any kind to stay at our home. The fir floors are very soft and dog claws can easily scratch them. Many people are very sensitive to animal hair and we want our home to be a safe place for all to stay.

5. We ask that you do not wear shoes in the house. We have places to leave your shoes by both doors. Please bring your slippers.

6. The house is a side-by-side duplex. There are shared walls. Please be respectful of your noise level. There are separate seating areas for each side of the duplex on the front porch. Please do not take furniture from the side of the duplex you are not staying on, that furniture is for other guests to enjoy.

Excellent and Historic

A superb home, filled with character and history. Lovely, simple furnishings and a great, well appointed kitchen. A huge space with room to spread out. Great books, games and care given to this homes historic origins. Had it not rained, we would have taken advantage of the bikes! Great proximity to Fort Stevens, beach, ship wreck, jetties, bird watching, Astoria and so much more. Hard to ask for, want or need anything else -- and what a bonus to have a herd of elk walk across the park each morning! Host was super easy to work with, kind and thorough. We have stayed in many VRBO homes and really appreciate the personal touch, impeccable cleanliness, clear instructions and care owners provide. This one was superb from start to finish.

Great Place for Family!

We loved this house -- exactly as described and the only bike friendly (actual paths) area on the Oregon coast that I know of. Having a playground out the front window was great for the kids. The only thing I might add is curtains or black out shades for the windows. Super friendly hosts -- and this is a great house without a rental company go-between.

Lovely old home

Clean and fresh, well appointed. Fun to be in an historic building. Well equipped kitchen. Somewhat inconvenient that the three bedrooms were upstairs with one bathroom while the other bathroom was downstairs.
