Overlooking Old Town yet In a Secluded Forest Setting

This unique property sits in a secluded forest setting high above Old Town and the Siuslaw River bridge. 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.

Just as Advertised

Super clean place. Checkin was easy. Only issue we had was not having the right password for the WiFi. Initial instructions for checkin were out of date but owners reached out before stay to provide updated info. Tucked back in the woods a bit, and driveway is a bit steep but quiet, peaceful location.

The house is fine and the location is good but it was inaccessible to us. The listing does not disclose that the house is on top of a very steep, poorly maintained dirt road. The road was so sandy that our Subaru got stuck and required a tow. We cut our stay short. Owner suggested that we park at the bottom of the hill and walk up. That was not a realistic solution as we were traveling with small children. Buyer beware.

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.

Amazing

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!

Horrible experience

No water when arrived. Was stated well had run dry. We moved to a hotel in town. We now have waited 14 plus days still no refund. The customer support puts you on hold promise it’s escalated when you call back they either don’t see escalation or that no one has taken the ticket. Horrible overall experience would highly not recommend

SCAM Stay Away! Owner Unresponsive, Couldn’t access Property

Instructions on this booking were to call the owner and they would meet me at a nearby store and give me the keys. I started calling several hours before checkin to arrange a meet time and left 2 voicemails. The other number listed had been disconnected. I left another voicemail at a third number listed. No one ever returned my call. I drove to the property to see if they happened to be there and they were not. I never was able to get ahold of anyone and I had to find another place to stay at the last minute after driving many hours. In the reviews I see this had happened to someone else as well. THIS PROPERTY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE LISTED ON VRBO. VRBO now tells me it will take seven business days to refund my money. Seems like a nice scam.

The heaters were on (no thermostat to control them) when we arrived and the house was very warm. We manually turned off every floor heater in the house but we could not cool the house to make it comfortable for sleeping by opening windows because most windows did not have screens and the mosquitoes and moths were active. Mattresses seemed to be very old, like if you stayed with your grandmother on a fixed income. Wi-Fi password did not work for any of us but the TV was on the WiFi so it was available for entertainment. The house is in a gorgeous setting and it is roomy. Five of us (everyone over 14) did not feel cramped at all. There are several decks and very large yard with a fire pit that was stocked with wood. You can see city lights from the deck and living room. It is stocked with ample places to sit and relax or socialize. We used the fridge and the microwave with no issues. We used the washer and dryer (saved the dryer for the morning, due to the heat it would add to the house), which was convenient. If the house had not been sweltering, we probably would not have minded the mattresses, but sleep was difficult the night we were there.

Loved the forest setting! So fun for the kids (8, 4, 2). Couldn’t find kids dinnerware so we used the ceramic or paper plates. Not a lot of other toddler friendly activities amongst the board games and puzzles, but we didn’t spend a lot of time at the house. Roku TV allowed us to login to all our apps for streaming. Location was so convenient to go run to the grocery store and drive to various tourist spots. We didn’t have any trouble getting up the hill with our Toyota Sienna. The house was very clean upon arrival. So cozy and welcoming! Couldn’t find a hatchet and host didn’t respond to our message (although he had called when we got into town) so we just used sticks and logs that were easy to pull apart. Bathroom door was a little difficult to open and close. Wonderful experience. We may stay there again!! Magical magical memories.

Great location

The location is great, but the driveway is a little rough. The house was not clean. There was dog food on the floor, a tooth pick left on the floor, the toiletries were wet and partially used. No wash cloths and there was sand in the upstairs bed. The deadbolt won't lock, the windows didn't have screens, the TV wouldn't turn on and the host was completely unresponsive. We only stayed for one of our booked nights.

The surrounding property, location, and outdoor amenities (deck, fire pit) were outstanding. The house is older and more significantly had a strong odor when we first arrived. We were able to air it out, but that was not a great first impression. Regardless, the host was very friendly and communicative.

secluded cabin right outside Florence

A perfect location in a small, secluded forest area, but just a few minutes walk or drive from Old Town Florence.The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable with a rustic feel, but nice amenities. There was plenty of firewood available for nighttime campfires in the firepit.The road up to the cabin can be a tad daunting, but in the end, we were ok with a standard 2WD Jetta.

Spent a relaxing evening on our way down the coast. The cabin is charming and clean and so cozy! Our pup loved chasing her ball on the lawn and roaming around in the woods behind. Wished we had a longer stay here so we could have used the fire pit!

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.

Beautiful woods

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.

Loved the setting

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!
