THE HOUSE Original redwood throughout, weathered by nearly three decades of Pacific salt air, we wouldn't dream of changing it. The entire top floor is dedicated to the view, featuring new floor-to-ceiling windows, an anchored stone hearth with gas fireplace, heated floors, and a chef's kitchen with gas and everything to prepare a delicious coastal feast. Downstairs, a king suite with its own bath, desk, and a door that locks, ideal for a working guest, an extended-family configuration, or simply privacy.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Three bedrooms. Three baths. Sleeps 6. Upstairs primary: King, ocean view, ensuite oceanview bathroom. Upstairs second bedroom: Queen, bath with private entrance from the bedroom and the hallway. Downstairs king suite: King bed, desk, lockable door, bathroom with soaking tub, washer, and dryer.
THE SPA Open the door at dusk. Watch the sun drop into the Pacific from the water. Unobstructed Proposal Rock views with complete privacy, the kind of detail that turns a stay into a memory.
THE KITCHEN A Bosch gas range, a rarity on this stretch of coast where most kitchens run electric, anchors a chef's kitchen built for everything from a private chef dinner to a slow morning. Concrete countertops, breakfast bar, full-size dishwasher, espresso machine, kitchen aid mixer, and gas grill on the back deck.
THE ART Ghost Forest Beach House features art from the Proposals Artist Residency. Original works by a rotating roster of resident artists hang throughout the home, many created in direct response to this coastline, its weather, and its light. A printed guide on site introduces each artist and piece. The house is, in the truest sense, a living gallery.
THE DEN Off the home's original spiral staircase, a den built for both downtime and movement, with a 65-inch smart TV, a Peloton bike (bring your own shoes), rotating kids' art supplies, books, and a small library of kids' games. A welcome room when the Pacific turns moody.
WHO THE HOUSE IS FOR Couples. Anniversaries. Romantic weekends. Storm watching. Writers and creatives. The working holiday. The downstairs suite is a self-contained office with a desk, fast Wi-Fi, and a lockable door. A real workspace, not a kitchen-table compromise.
A SENSE OF PLACE Neskowin is the quiet alternative to Oregon's better-known coastal towns, a village rather than a destination, with a stretch of beach defined by two singular features. Proposal Rock rises from the surf at the river mouth. And at low tide, the Ghost Forest emerges: the petrified stumps of an ancient Sitka spruce grove, buried by an earthquake more than two thousand years ago and revealed again by the tides. Both are visible from the house. Few places on the Pacific coast offer a view this special.

This is the second time we have stayed here and it’s such a beautiful home! Can’t beat the location and views. Host was so helpful and would love to return ❤️
Beautiful beach house and so comfortable. This is not your grandma’s beach house ... unless she has a great design eye, art book collection, and soft linen sheets. So great!

Thanks Lynne! We always love welcoming you, a terrific guest! This review made us chuckle. There are a lot of stylish grandmas out there!
The house is so beautifully designed and equipped. The attention to detail made me smile each day ... as I used the frother for coffee in the morning, or stepped onto the heated floors, or used the supplied beach chairs or perused the fantastic library. I felt so at home here; I will be back!
We couldn’t say more nice things about our stay! The house was well appointed and in impeccable condition with the most pristine beach laid in front of you to enjoy at any time of day! My husband, mother and I stayed for 5 nights and felt very at home, particularly cooking in the beautiful gourmet kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed making bon fires in the beach in the evenings and watching the stars as well as going for lovely walks in the morning when the tide was low and finding all sorts of beach treasures! It’s a great house for kids and families and we know you will enjoy your stay when you go!

Hi Edie! Thank you so much for the kind words. We were honored to have you visit from so far away! We hope to have you back soon!
Such a beautiful home! Location couldn’t be better and the details inside were incredible from the linens and soaps to glassware and kitchen items. Had several beach toys and chairs and the playroom downstairs was full of toys. Wish the couch in the living room would have been a little more inviting and soft but really didn’t spend much time there. Can’t wait to go back!

Thanks Jamie! We are glad you enjoyed the time with your family and we look forward to hosting you again soon!
This is our second stay at this property in Neskowin. The view is astounding and the first thing you see when you walk into the house! The kitchen has just about everything one needs. The open floorplan is fantastic for gathering together, and many other areas for the family to spread out. Easy beach access, plenty of non-beach walking, too. Wonderful!
Our elder family members stayed in your home as part of a celabration of life weekend. We had a few hang-ups with the "responsibility renters" agreement, but in the end it was resloved and I appreciate Dinah for working with us on that.
The only other note for the description, was we did not understand how many stairs were involved to get the the main level of the home. This is very important when looking for homes that eldery family members will be staying in.
We would reccommend this home for a great weekend in Neskowin!

Thank you David and we are so glad you had a great visit. We appreciate you completing the extra form so we complied with VRBO policy. We do have an original spiral staircase, we will try to make that more clear in the posting. Thank you!
Wow, what a special place this is. The house was everything we had hoped for. The beachfront location, jacuzzi on the beach and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ocean were amazing!
This was a family girls trip for 6 of us - our first time together in over a year. We enjoyed the warm fireplace while we read, ate and napped, took long beach walks and listened to music on the Sonos sound system throughout the house. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the game room downstairs and the ability to spread out a bit more with the extra beds there.
The walk into the quaint town of Neskowin is quick and beautiful through the neighborhood. There is a short time on the main highway, so be careful as the cars are moving fast.
One of our trip highlights was having a private chef cook for us one night. She was fantastic and said this was the best set kitchen she had cooked in for a private meal. The kitchen was stocked with beautiful dinnerware and cookware that a professional chef appreciated.
Alexis was very responsive to any question or concern that I had. We will definitely visit again!

Michelle, we are so glad you had a great girls trip and thank you for the info for the private chef, she sounds terrific! We look forward to having you back again soon!!
My family and I just spent a beautiful week celebrating Thanksgiving in this gorgeous house directly on the sand in front of Proposal Rock. I can definitely say that the experience exceeded my expectations, which were pretty high.
First, the home is located in a private gated community on a picturesque stretch of beach in the very small town of Neskowin. Due to that fact, you won’t be sharing the sand with lots of other people. There’s a general store and a restaurant 5 minutes away and you are a 20 minute drive to both Lincoln City and Pacific City for bigger shopping and more restaurant choices.
The house, which has recently been beautifully remodeled, is stunning. The view cannot be properly appreciated by photos. The kitchen is very well equipped! I brought some of my own things (as I would be preparing Thanksgiving dinner) because in my experience, rental kitchens can sometimes be lacking. I needn’t have bothered. The beds were cozy with high quality linens and mattresses. The baths offered plenty of towels, ample paper products for a few days, and large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, so no need to pack your own. There’s lots of beach equipment available such as chairs, beach towels, etc. The Wi-Fi works great, the smart TV is huge, and there’s a Sonos system with a portable speaker so you can listen to your music on the beach or in the hot tub. The hot tub is located in a private spot behind the house but still boasts a view of the ocean. We were in it every day!
The owner is very easy to work with and super responsive. We emailed, texted, and even spoke on the phone prior to our stay. And when we had a question after our arrival, she responded within minutes.
Thanks, Alexis, for a relaxing week. It was just what we needed and we are already making plans for our next stay.

Thank you Kelly for your kind words. We were so happy to welcome you and your family for Thanksgiving. You are welcome anytime! Come on back!
What an amazing location and house! From the minute we walked into the house, we were stunned by the view.
The house had everything we needed. Lots of room for everyone to spread out. Just a very short walk to beach access. Hot tub let us soak our bones during our Thanksgiving stay.
Wonderful time!
This property was exceptional. From the location to the extra amenities provided it was a jewel. It was clean, architecturally gorgeous and obviously well cared for by the host. We had plenty of room and felt instantly comfortable. Our host provided suggestions for local activities and options for dining as well as varied excursions. All in all, a great way to spend a birthday weekend.
This property is incredible! The easy access to the beach, ocean and proposal rock was our most favorite feature of the home. We made the short walk over to the Neskowin Trading Company and enjoyed an amazing breakfast and coffee! When we weren’t on the beach, we enjoyed watching the sunsets from the deck and hot-tub and cozied up next to the fireplace. The bedding and bathrooms were luxurious and the little collection of beach towels, blankets and chairs was so convenient! We can’t wait to come back!
Absolutely gorgeous - location and house! The property has EVERYTHING you need and things you didn't realize you did need. We can't wait to come back again and wouldn't hesitate recommending it.
Kudos to the owners for updating and remodeling this home with modern appliances and amenities, while maintaining the architectural integrity of this classic modern home.
Such attention to detail, fine art, and thoughtfulness of design are all too rare in a rental property. A true gem!
From the moment you step into this stunning home and are dumbstruck by the view of Proposal Rock, you know you are somewhere very special! The home itself is lovely-luxurious and modern. Kitchen is very well outfitted for any kind of culinary needs. Beds are very comfortable and fitted with the high end linens you would expect. The location leaves you speechless. Steps to the beach with the Ghost Forest in plain sight at low tide. Lots of walkable beach in either direction and plenty of space for beach games and beach fires. Communication was prompt and instructions were easy and readily available. We look forward to splurging on another stay in the near future!
This house is just perfect. It is the best stocked kitchen I have seen so far. The location is lively. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Cant wait until next time.

Had a wonderful stay at this property. Beautiful home that is well appointed with tasteful furnishings. Beachfront location is unbeatable, had so much fun watching the sunsets from the hot tub.
Best location on the beach, imo. Comfortable, quiet, clean and beautiful place to be. Hosts have the amenities dialed in. Clear communication and quick to reply to questions. Can't wait to come back!

Thanks Nash! We were so happy to host you and look forward to welcoming you back!
We spent a few days here for my husbands birthday and it was the perfect location! We had amazing weather and loved that the beach was just steps away. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the back deck and in the hot tub. Our kids loved all the beach toys. Beautiful house! The management company was absolutely wonderful and so helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

As children, we visited the Oregon Coast frequently as it was close to home and fell in love with its rocky coast, incredible sunsets and local charm. We feel honored to have been able to renovate this stunning original home in one of our favorite places in the world while preserving its heritage and beauty.
Please take care of this home as you would your own - it has many high-end finishes, original art and custom furniture. We monitor damage closely.

We believe our home is one-of-a-kind in Neskowin. The location is breathtaking, the original architecture is stunning and its proximity to Hawk Creek and the Ghost Forest and Proposal Rock make for the dream vacation location.
What makes this property unique
At the cross section of the ocean and Hawk Creek there are all kinds of beautiful rocks and fossils to explore. At low-tide you can cross the creek to the local village for ice cream, coffee and pizza.
