About this property

Charming Woodland Cabin in a Coastal Forest Above the Fog

Visit OREGONCOASTCABINS.C0M for special offers! A unique and charming woodland cabin nestled in a coastal forest above the fog, just two miles from spectacular ocean views and beaches.
Sugar Mountain was designed and built by artist & architect Douglas Purdy, and features handmade doors & latches, a cozy wood stove, clawfoot bathtub, exposed beam high ceilings, upstairs sleeping loft, a fully equipped kitchen, and back porch with forest views all around.

A cozy double-bed bedroom on the main floor sleeps two, and you will find a comfy king size bed upstairs in the loft.

We offer fast reliable cable Internet and WiFi, with a Smart TV.

Located in the Cape Ferrelo neighborhood, six miles north of Brookings, Oregon, across from House Rock, Indian Sands, and Whales Head beaches. The cabin is surrounded by a serene forest with wrap around back porch, for taking in the forest and coastal fog.

The cabin has super fast wifi and good phone reception, a bluetooth stereo system, smart tv and the cabin stays cozy with both a wood stove and electric heat.
There is a 'smart tv' availble for you to sign into your own Netflix account (remember to sign out or others may use it!) or select 'Watch Free' from the main menu to choose from the many movies, tv, and music options
There is also a variety of puzzles in the kitchen cabinet for guests to enjoy!

This cabin was hand-built by artist Douglas Purdy, who was a bronze artist and local architect. You can see his handmade, one of a kind door latches, unique placement of doorknobs, and enjoy the exposed high beam ceilings, loft, low cabinets and toasty wood stove as he imagined!

Please be respectful of this cabin and the neighborhood. We have a lot of deer and wildlife, please drive slow on all gravel roads.

*Seasonal* The Woodstove is available for use in colder months. Firewood is located in the built-in bench in the entranceway. Take note of the fire extinguisher and don’t leave fires unattended.

There is also electric baseboard heating if needed.

Truly Spectacular !

This is a beautifully made cozy and a bit quirky cabin. I loved everything about it...the drive up the mountain to it, the deck cantilevered over the edge of the mountain so you are up in the trees, the cozy inside with the handmade door latches. It was a wonderful getaway.

Quiet Romantic Getaway

This place was exactly as expected and then some. Right down the road from the absolutely stunning Samuel H Boardman Scenic Corridor. The cabin is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly located. The hosts were wonderful. They checked in on us to make sure we didn't need anything. They had a music system that really made staying in a great option. I would stay again and again ❤

Very quiet and cozy

Very rustic but nice. We had a great time despite the torrential rain. The only suggestion for the listing would be to mention the 2nd bedroom with the larger bed, is a loft with a very steep ladder . ( Too difficult for my husband who gets up several times a night to use the bathroom).

Costal Cabin

This is a great spot if you are looking for a quiet charming place to enjoy some down time. It’s best probably for a couple, but will sleep more. The cabin itself is marvelous. It’s small and very efficiently laid out. The builder handmade much of it and everything is wonderfully crafted. You can feel the quality of the hand construction. The location is a bit tricky to find on arrival especially at night, but follow the directions and it’s not a problem. It becomes easy once you’ve been there. It’s surrounded by neighbors but you don’t see or hear anything, it has a secluded feel and you can enjoy the coastal woods surrounding you. Close to Brookings and Gold Beach is 20 minutes drive. Hosts are great.

Nature Amongst the Trees

The hand-crafted cabin was exceptionally beautiful and cozy; the atmosphere of the place gave my sister and I a comforting feeling. We loved being tucked away in the back of the community where we saw wildlife deer passing through, and listened to the rain in the early morning pour over the cabin. The fireplace was also a wonderful addition to our stay. Johan was responsive and helpful in communicating that there was a large puddle outside the cabin that is difficult to drain when that area sees heavier rainfall. My sister and I took necessary precautions. One thing I might add for property improvements would be a non-slip rug outside on the porch entrance before the mudroom. It was quite slippery, but we managed. Overall, we had a wonderful stay! I would definitely return and extend the invite to other friends and family. Thank you!

Pros and Cons

Pros: Quiet, nice tub, nice deck, in the woods, everything worked. Cons: Place was dark-needs more lighting, the ground floor bed is a double-my partner and I squeezed into it. If you want a queen bed, it's up one either a ladder or an attic stairway-I wouldn't want to have to come down either in the middle of the night to use the toilet. Also the queen bed was way too soft for us. We sank into the couch and it was too small for two adults. Would be better to get rid of the small table next to the couch and get a longer couch. Place is maybe better suited to one person than two. Also, it's not so easy to find, especially at night.

Sugar Mountain is a one -of-a-kind experience in a charming and cozy cabin - but 'small' does come up occasionally.. While the cabin can accommodate groups of four, it is more ideally suited for a couple or solo traveler. The bed upstairs is actually a King size, downstairs is a double/ full, and both have always been reviewed to be very comfortable. ☆There's also a full-size bed in the loft that we don't advertise as we don't want to encourage groups ☆ We do say in our listing that the loft is accessed by a ladder or pull-down stairs that may not be ideal for everyone, but we are planning an upgrade to a spiral staircase coming next year :) Finally, Sugar Mountain isn't really hard to find; its the second to last house on a dead-end road, with a sign pointing the way down the driveway. It is private and a bit remote- above the clouds in Cape Ferrelo - but close to the ocean and town of Brookings.

Relaxed location

The cottage is set in a very nice wooded location, it has everything you need, and is just right for two. As has been mentioned before, you do need to have some remaining athletic ability to access the king sized bed “upstairs” either via the “ladder” on the wall, or via the more traditional drop down “attic” stairs. If you use the latter, anyone who has a large frame, will struggle to access the only bathroom should you need too while the attic stair is lowered,. The living area is both artistically rustic and well equipped. The WI-FI worked well enough for me to stream live TV without hesitation. Brookings is a short drive away with a well stocked grocery store, so while this location feels a little off the grid, the truth is you are close to all you need. Overall it’s a lovely location, peacefully nestled amongst the tree’s.

We had such a great time at their little cabin tucked away in the wooded hillside. The cabin was so cute and cozy we hated to leave.

Why they chose this property

Sugar Mountain is truly a one of a kind cabin built by an amazing artist and architect Douglas Purdy. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is exceptional throughout the cabin, and we love cozying up in front of the woodstove or soaking in the glorious claw-foot bathtub.

What makes this property unique

Situated just above the Samuel Bordman Scenic Corridor, there are spectacular beaches, viewpoints, hikes and more all within two miles of the cabin. While not an ocean-view home, you can hear the ocean and enjoy the coastal fog that makes the Oregon Coast unqiue.
