We enjoyed our stay. Quiet neighborhood, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable rooms. The indoor hot tub was enjoyable on our rainy weekend. Checkout at 10 is a little early and makes for a rushed morning. Would recommend and would stay again.

Great house in the woods!
We enjoyed this cozy home. It had all the amenities we needed and plenty of space. We used the two bedrooms with king-sized beds…and our daughter thought it was so fun to have the whole upstairs to herself!
Great stay. A bit north of town, but only about 10 minutes…and just 5 min from a grocery store.
We really enjoyed our stay here the driveway is pretty steep but other than that it was great

The property and house are great. Everything was clean and in great working order. Very quiet and peaceful and still close to all the local attractions.

Fantastic Homebase for exploring!
The house was very spacious with room for everyone to spread out and have quiet time if needed. Quick trip to town for groceries or shopping in Old Town and out to explore the Sea Lion caves, Heceta Head Lighthouse, etc.

Be prepared for very firm beds.
Location was great. House was laid out well for numerous guests. Hot tub was appreciated after the Eugene Marathon.
Had a great stay. The house was beautiful and cozy with plenty of room for our party of 3-6. We had perfect weather which made for some gorgeous mornings views. Highly recommend, especially if your looking for something near everything Florence has to offer but just a little out of town.

Liked: Amenities, communication
It was very quiet and we saw a variety of wildlife. What was unsafe is the outdoor step which is very deceiving. My husband fell twice. My dil who is pregnant almost fell and I almost fell coming out the door. The hot tub is very difficult to get into for us older folks. The bathroom upstairs has mold around the tub. There are a lot of steps to get into the home. If you have walking issues this is not the home for you. Beds are very hard and my husband and I boy woke up with back aches.
Quiet neighborhood, great location and very comfortable house’ Only minus is it needs better lighting above hot tub. Would definitely recommend!

Oregon Coast hideaway
Nice home in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by beautiful trees. We saw many different birds, including hummingbirds and also saw a deer go through the backyard. Only downside is the beds were very firm and the cleaning seems a bit subpar as our towels and bath mats smelled sour.

Beautiful home!
Beautiful home, very nice and clean. We all loved it and hope to stay again! The only negative were the beds were all super hard and made it hard to sleep. But overall very happy!

Austin, thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we're so pleased you thought our home was beautiful and clean! It's great to know you'd stay here again-- we'd love to have you! That said, while we acknowledge that beds will not suit everyone's specific preferences, we regret that ours was not comfortable for you. We have shared this with the local manager and appreciate your feedback. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again.
We enjoyed the hot tub, the quiet of the location, and the amenities provided in the home. The beds are a bit harder than I am used to but comfortable, the driveway is extremely steep but we were able to park on the flat gravel part, and we thought there was private outdoor space but the deck is in the front so we spent our time indoors. I would recommend this property for others, especially because of how amazing the hot tub set up is, very relaxing.
