Incredible views and wonderful spaces

The property met or exceeded our expectations. Four bedrooms provided sleeping spaces for all in our group. The well labeled kitchen offered everything we needed. Beds enabled sound sleep. The views from living and upper levels impressed all of us: morning coffee conversations above, dinner below, and all enjoyed sunrises and sunsets. Florence or Heceta Beach were always just a short drive away. Thank you for sharing this special place with us!

Fun Weekend

The scenery from the house was exceptional! So beautiful. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. The only negative was that the kitchen counters were not clean...food (rice) and crumbs on the counters and sticky in spots so we needed to give it a good cleaning that way. Also the dishes in the dishwasher were not clean. But other than that it was wonderful. The bathrooms were very clean and comfortable...great shower pressure. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Roomy House with Wonderful Crow's Nest

This property had lots of space for our whole family including 4 bedrooms, roomy kitchen, large dining and living room and our favorite place - the crows nest. The crow's nest had great views of the woodsy surrounding area and was great for morning coffee gatherings and pre-dinner drink times. Large windows in the entire living area made you feel like you were right there in the woods!

What about that view 😍

The house was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone! Well stocked. Very woodsy yet close to town. The kids loved the crows nest! I would definitely open the bottom floor as a game room! Pet friendly! We will be back!

Fantastic place to stay

Generally well kept and extremely well stocked with all the necessity. The "Crow's Nest" was definitely a hit for nature watching. We have to drive up a moderately steep gravel road to get to the house, which gave a sense of adventure. All the places of interest were relatively close by vehicle. There is even a state park at the entrance of Mercer Lake road. The only suggestion I would add for the host is to add a yellow strip on the edge of the stairs leading to the front door. I have a little depth perception issue and almost tripped down the concrete stains. However, after I caught my initial fall, I compensated for it visually. Other than that, this place comes highly recommended!

Florence stay

It is a beautiful location and a wonderful house with a view of the surrounding area from the crows nest. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, pots and pans and assorted other cooking implements to cook whatever you wanted and didn't have to do the dishes after every meal. There was plenty of games to play, laundry use provided. It was close to Florence and many beaches and tourist activities.

Perfect Family Home

We absolutely loved our stay. In fact, it was really hard to leave. The 360 room up top was the perfect spot to set up our projector and watch a family movie together. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals. The bath tub in the master bedroom was perfect for soaking after a long day of adventure and fun. Lots of board games to play. The views are fantastic from almost every window. Perfect distance from everything including shopping, food, the beach, swimming spots, and Sandland Adventures where we went on a dune buggy tour and raced gocarts. The kids can't wait to book our next stay.

Perfect getaway!

Friends this was a tremendous place to visit and I highly recommend it! It felt like a cabin and a beach house at the same time. My group of 8 had all the space needed to just enjoy some quality family time. The kitchen had everything needed to cook big dinners. The bedrooms were all large and accommodating. The crows nest with a 360 degree of the beautiful landscape (from the Pacific Ocean to some of the sand dunes) was stunning! The check in and out procedures were easy to follow too. Heck they even have an electric charging station in the garage which was unexpected and came in handy as one of our rental cars was a hybrid that needing charging. Can’t recommend this strongly enough and will look to rebook it in the future!

Fantastic location, view and property!

Unmatched views from the kitchen, living room and crowd nest. Heated floors in the bathroom were amazing! Silverware, dishes and kitchenwares were a bit dirty, with some appearing to have been put away uncleaned since last renter so we had to do a bit of cleaning on arrival but wasn’t too bad. Overall the rest of the home was quite clean. Safety “laser” on garage door closest to home also non-functional.

Hand built by my grandfather for 7 years, the house is incredibly unique and gives you a quiet oasis close to town and the trails.

What makes this property unique

A Crow’s nest with 360 degrees of windows to view the dunes and beach. Also great for stargazing at night.
