About this property

The Lily Pad - just a hop to everything coastal

This charming home offers a jumping off point to all the area’s attractions and a homey atmosphere to hunker down in at night. It’s just a short hop to Port Orford’s beaches, Garrison Lake, local artists' galleries and one of a kind restaurants featuring seafood, homemade pastries, breads, soups, and other goodies.

The main floor bedroom has a California king bed, large closet, and a full bathroom with step-in shower en suite. The upstairs bedroom has queen bed, a trundle day bed, a mini-fridge and microwave for those midnight snacks, and a full bath with shower/tub combo. The two living room couches are long enough for sleeping.

This 1940's home features a fully-outfitted kitchen with several coffee makers, Keurig, blender, waffle maker, mixer, pots and pans, cookie sheets, muffin tins, utensils, dishes, flatware. Front-loading LG washer and dryer on site. Bring your dog, if you wish, to hang out in a pet friendly enclosed patio or in the small dog run in the back yard.

There's WiFi, a VCR/DVD player, and a lots of games, puzzles, VCR's and DVD’s for when you just want to hang out at home for a while before heading out for your next adventure.

Your hosts, Susan and Wiz, bought the house in June 2016. Susan is a former live theatre set designer and hopes to recapture the ambiance of the 1940's while providing all the conveniences modern travelers expect from a vacation home. The house is fully functional, clean and cozy.

Susan is a very enthusiastic host and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. And it was! We were in Port Orford for a long weekend to attend the Winter Waters festival. Lily Pad is in a great location. It is very comfortable and well appointed. There are just two of us and the house can hold more, but we felt snug just the same. Lily Pad is exactly what we were looking for. We will stay again the next time we visit Port Orford.

Can’t say enough great things about the Lily Pad. Starting with Susan who is the most welcoming and thoughtful host. The house is not only clean, cozy and so comfortable, it also has every amenity you could hope for. We had a wonderful stay and a great Thanksgiving family get together. I’d travel more if every stay was as nice!

Thanks, Kelly. I loved meeting you, kindred spirit that loves what the Brits call "character" houses. The Lily Pad thanks you for the TLC you gave her -- never has anyone left the house so clean! All the best - Susan

We stayed at The Lilly Pad for a week, and it was nice to come back to a “home away from home” after a day of crabbing, fishing, and exploring.

Top 2 rental houses

We have stayed in many places and this is one of my favorite places we've stayed! The only issues we had were small and taken care of right away by the host, who was also great to work with. Love the decor and the covered back patio which was a treat during the stormy conditions.

The property was great! King bed was super comfy and the pillows. We had a great time escaping the rain! Susan is very friendly and accommodating. The listing said there was a coffee bean grinder but when we got there it wasn’t there. Susan said she’d go get one from her house. The water isn’t so great- make sure to bring bottled water if you need it. She has an old filter but it takes awhile to work. The house was built in the 40’s and she likes to keep things there from that period. I’d totally stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Russell

Host profile image
A former high school teacher and then a live theatre manager and set designer, I now am now a construction contractor, specializing in helping older homeowners with Honey Do jobs. The Lily Pad is decorated in 1940's style, recapturing the era's simplicity but providing all the conveniences modern travelers expect.

Why they chose this property

Showing our town to out-of town friends, we passed this cute cottage which was for sale. Our friend said, "I'd like to live in that one!" Long story short -- we bought it and now offer it for your enjoyment.

What makes this property unique

The Lily Pad is just plain cozy, like going to Gramma's. Enjoy...
