Overlooking Old Town yet In a Secluded Forest Setting

It offers complete privacy yet is just a short walk to the shops, restaurants, harbor, and other attractions of Old Town. Go down a forest path to arrive at the high dunes overlooking the Siuslaw River, Florence, and the Ocean. You do have to climb the dunes, which is challenging.
The house comes with two bedrooms upstairs with an adjoining deck that overlooks the forest and a gives you a peek at Old Town; there is another bedroom downstairs. All beds are Queen size. The paneled great room has multiple view windows and comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a pellet stove. There is high speed internet and a large TV in the living room area. There is a laundry area with a washer and dryer. A deck with outside seating and a gas barbeque is located off the great room. There is a lawn with a great big fire pit surrounded by log benches and plenty of firewood. Surrounding it all is the virgin forest.

Your own private forest! But still two minutes from town!
The house is an older house, but it is wonderfully charming. The best part of this property is location, location, location. It has its own private forest a big green yard fire pits barbecue. It’s amazing. You can walk to the dunes privately. Your dogs can run freely!And the owner of the property is a real great guy! I would recommend this property any time! Some reviews listed the driveway as an issue. It is not it is perfectly.perfectly fine.
We enjoyed staying at this house with our dog, surrounded by beautiful woods. We enjoyed downstairs patio and a deck upstairs as well as a seating area with a fire pit. At night you can see the lights of the old town through the trees. There are many excellent places to eat a few minutes away right across the bridge. We also enjoyed Darlings marina restaurant : amazing hamburgers and bbq. Safeway is close by. We had no issues with water and all appliances work. Our bed was comfortable. We would stay there again.
Amazing setting with areas for gathering and exploring. Area for morning reflections with covered deck and sitting area, day of hiking and adventures in woodland setting and dunes, evenings around the campfire for marshmallows, songs and stories, night of comfortable slumber and dreams. Driveway was steep yet notified of this prior to visit and we were able to navigate up to find a exceptional getaway secluded and magical. The Turner Clan

OMG :)
The road is steep, VERY steep, leading to the property but there was a forest wonderland located at the top. It was private and secluded. There was plenty of room for parking and outside activities. The forest trails were private and safe for all levels of walkers. It was a cabin with space and we were very comfortable.
Stayed here before nice location. Love the privacy.

Not as advertised!
Older, no view, very steep driveway & working on it when we arrived,& no key in lockbox on arrival. Owner didn't remember booking it but showed up at 4:00 and the cleaners came about 4:15pm, after we arrived, to clean the house. Later we found a large roast in the oven with mold all over it. House was older but furniture was comfy, had good heart system, no dishwasher but we survived.
This is our second stay. My husband and I love this house! It is absolutely peaceful. The dogs love it. We like to go to just unplug and spend time together. The only thing missing was a plug for the tub.
I wish i had it in me to give this place a terrible review. That would be for selfish reasons. Great little house in the woods under 10 minutes from everything. I was apprehensive after reading other reviews, rental car company messed up and gave me a little carolla instead of an SUV. Carolla got up the driveway just fine, no problems with the water or water pressure, property manager was great, price was perfect for what i got, dryer was swapped out the day i arrived, it was a great vacation. If you dont like peace and quiet stay away from this place Cant wait for my next visit!
Clean, Private, comfortable although the driveway should be paved so a car can get up the steep driveway it took us 3 times in the car but if you have a truck or 4x4 you will be fine!!
After the initial shock of the uphill driveway, everything was cool. The place is very quiet and the home was clean. It suited our needs while we were in Oregon.
This little house was great. So beautiful and secluded in the forest. The only scary part was the drive in. The hill to get there is very steep and dirt. You have to get a running start.
We had a great time at this rustic coastal home. If you are the type of person that wants to gripe about low water pressure, creaking stairs or raccoons on the porch in the middle of the night, book a different place. This place is country and reminds me of my roots. Support staff was responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back
Wonderful little house up a small narrow steep road that added to the fun. Everything we wanted or needed except a washing machine. The washing machine did not work for us. Actually, neither did the TV. There were four adult women and none of us could get either to work. I still loved the house and setting. We didn't ask for help with the TV and didn't try the washing machine late our last night. I'm sure that our host would have helped us with the TV. Anyway, love the setting!

Cottage in the woods
It was in a wonderful location. Enjoyed lots of great walks. Beds were comfortable. House was cute.
Hard to get ahold of owners. They promised they would bring pellets up for stove and failed to come back. Never returned phone call and text.

No water
Water pressure was too weak to switch from the tub faucet to the shower head. Last four days the water went out completely. We had to grab the shovel and do our business in the woods.

Great location bad management
Excellent location great property, furniture smells bad, trash left in cans no room for ours, no water pressure just a light flow, no communication,checked in 30 mins late was finally able to contact manager.
I love your home! This is exactly what I came here for this Fall/Winter. Dark, wet, lush forest. Of course, when the sun is this low in the sky, it makes for a pretty cold, dim day, but!, that’s why this place is the treasure that it is! Next time I am in Florence, I will stay here if it’s available. This is my 6th visit to Florence. I will return!
