The unit has an unobstructed view of woahink lake. Nestled in the woods the view is the main attraction. We have a trail that leads down a gentle slope to a dock and boathouse with a firepit to keep you comfortable. You may use the dock and paddleboard at your own risk! This lake has great fishing for trout, bass and perch! It's also great for swimming during the summer months. Most guests enjoy looking at the beautiful view and enjoying their favorite beverage!

My wife & I stayed at Gary's place for 4 nights. It's a great set-up for us - easy parking, privacy, peaceful around the clock. The view of the lake was off-the-hook.I read a review about a hectic 4th of July party, but that has to be way out of the ordinary. We did meet Gary once as we were leaving - he's easy going and super nice. The main space of the apartment is clean, comfortable and had some nice retro features - which we enjoy. Thanks for a great stay, Gary!!!
This is a little gem on the lake. There is a path down to a boathouse and dock. We enjoyed sitting by the water. This part of the lake is very quiet. The accommodations were decent. The host was very kind.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay, Gary was a great host. The property has a fantastic view of the lake from the living room and bedroom. Felt like we were out in the woods, away from it all, but still close to town and a quick drive to the beach. The bed was super comfy! Really enjoyed our weekend and can't wait to come back!
I had a great stay here. Place is clean and has a great view. Very close to both Dunes city and Florence. However, I did not realize this was technically someone’s downstairs/basement area converted to work as a nice fully furnished spot. Luckily they weren’t there while I was though some reviews have said they are so just be aware of that if needed. Traveling alone means I usually ensure a space is completely my own. But everything was great! Checkin instructions were super easy and the views are so relaxing. Only other notes I have would be that there’s no bedroom door and to add a latch or something on the inside main door as an extra lock to make people feel safer. The downstairs has great windows and you can even wake up to the lake view! Though maybe add instructions on how to work the blinds too. I figured it out but it took me a minute. Thanks for the relaxing stay!
We rode over 200 miles on a motorcycle to arrive to a property and no one was there, attempted multiple times to contact the host with no success. A very uneasy feeling. Expedia customer service was excellent. They helped us find a motel and are working on a refund. Not sure what happened. The host contacted me the next day but we had already made different arrangements and were out more money. Unfortunate as the place from the outside seemed very nice.
We had a nice stay at Gary's place. The weather wasn't warm the weekend we were there (mid 60s), but that didn't stop us from spending an afternoon swimming. The water was wonderful!
The photos in the listing are exactly what you get. It's a nice, big space; very clean and comfortable. The views are spectacular! All the basics are provided. Gary was nice and greeted us upon our arrival, and after that left us to ourselves.
Some things that were not mentioned in the listing that you may care to know about:
- This is Gary's basement, which was a big surprise. And Gary was home. I found it inhibiting at first, but got used to it by the second day.
- If you have mobility issues, this may not be the right place for you. You must navigate stairs (half flight) to get in.
- The dock is *below* the house, accessed by a trail that is maintained, but uneven with roots and it's quite steep. I was only able to get there the day we arrived and then once again the afternoon we went swimming. I used my hiking poles the second time, which made it easier, but I almost didn't back down because of my mobility issues. My husband had no trouble with it, though.
- Gary has a small dog (poodle mix?) that barked at us and did not let us near, but it mostly stayed upstairs with Gary.
The reason we chose this listing was the water, which was lovely and totally worth the effort. It's a nice dock with loungers, table and chairs, etc. It's quiet and pretty, and we had a glorious time in the water.

Disappointed - not private, host family was vacationing
I had eagerly anticipated a peaceful July 4th weekend at a private vacation spot, but my expectations were completely dashed. Upon arrival, I discovered that the basement rental (info not included in the post), which was supposed to be our private retreat, was in fact part of a bustling family gathering hosted by the owner upstairs. They were using every part of the property — the dock, the house, even the laundry room — leaving us unable to enjoy the peaceful getaway we had planned.
I immediately contacted both the host and Vrbo for assistance, but despite my messages, I received no response from the host regarding whether his family intended to stay for the entire weekend. Frustrated and unable to relax in an occupied space, we left the property and returned later that evening, only to find out then that the family intended to stay the entire weekend.
This situation left me incredibly disappointed, as I had specifically booked the spot for a private vacation. Had I known in advance about the family gathering, I would have made other arrangements. Unfortunately, it was July 4th weekend, and all nearby hotels were fully booked. We managed to find a room the next day, but the inconvenience was significant.
Despite my request for a full refund, the host only offered a partial refund, which added to my frustration with the entire experience. Gary said he had told me he'd have people over making noise, which is not true. I shared all my proof with Vrbo.
Gary's Place was exactly what we needed for our week on the Oregon coast! Centrally located and absolutely beautiful. Gary was an awesome host - friendly and helpful - and we appreciated his suggestions.
