Wonderful home. Very comfortable and clean. Open floor plan with a well-stocked kitchen. The beds upstairs were sooo comfortable. We enjoyed a fire outside each evening alongside a breathtaking river view. Super nice neighbors. We had a very relaxing long weekend. Thank you, Ted.

Birthday weekend

Spent the weekend with some great friends from Montana and enjoyed the beautiful house on the river. The hot tub was great and we were sad to leave once our visit was over. Overall great house, I grew up staying at my grandparents house in wheeler where they always had everything you needed and this house felt just like that, warm and comfortable

Christmas vacation stay on the coast.

Thank you Ted for allowing us to rent this most amazing and stunning home on the Nehalem river. He has provided everything someone may need while staying there. My spouse, three children, my sister and I all spent a week here during the 2024 Christmas holiday season while visiting the coast to see our family. He went above and beyond to make sure we were all accommodated for. There was a power outage due to a storm and he communicated with us all the updates from the electric company about when the outage would be back on. We were also able to host our Christmas dinner there at this home. Thank you Ted for making this a Christmas that we will cherish for many years.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

This home on the river is a great place to unwind and enjoy a beautiful view. It has a homey feel and you can tell it is loved by the owners. Drinking coffee on the deck in the morning, enjoying the hot tub and visiting nearby Manzanita were some of our highlights!

Very relaxing

Great place to stay. Spent two weeks there during the summer. Sat on the deck and watched the boats go by on the river. Watched the deer graze in the meadow across the street. Enjoyed the local flavor, especially Wanda’s and Buttercup. Short drive to the beach at Manzanita. 5 stars.

Relaxation Time

We had a very relaxing, fun time with family and friends. The house had everything we needed. A flyer was left telling about a Jazz festival at a local winery. We went and had a great time, it was just down the road. We even did a little fishing but nothing was biting, but we still had fun. Beautiful home with everything you need!

Perfect Getaway

The Gibson House is a wonderful family getaway spot. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Thoroughly enjoyed the location and amenities. The house was clean, comfy beds and beautiful location. Hope to visit this location again. Only thing we did notice there was only one wash cloth between the two bathrooms. We made do but may want to consider adding more. Other than that perfect.

Wonderful getaway on the Oregon coast

It doesn’t get much better than the Gibson house! The house was beautiful, well stocked, clean, and comfortable. We loved sitting in the deck (often in the hot tub) just watching the river. So peaceful. An eagle was perched in the tree by the driveway -very cool to see him flying to the river to catch fish!! Ted is great and helped us with all our questions. Manzanita Beach is a 5-min drive away with some great cafes and restaurants. Don’t even think twice - you’ll be so happy you booked this house!

Private spot on the river

Perfect place to enjoy the Oregon coast. Easy to get to, away from the busyness of 101 and very comfortable. Loved the open floor plan and stocked with everything we needed. The views up and down the river are great. Very quiet at night and dark enough to see the stars.

Great view and overall value

I had my son, husband, and some family visiting from Australia and the U.K. with me. We enjoyed the superb view and tranquil setting; the lovely interior, the home decor, the well-stocked kitchen; and access to streaming platforms. I would give this property the highest rating except that we had an issue with the upstairs bathroom and some furniture needed dusting. The owner, Ted was quick to respond with text. We forgot a couple of things, and he graciously informed us so we could pick them up later. Overall, our family greatly enjoyed our time here.

Beautiful Nehalem Home

We rented this beautiful property for our wedding weekend, not expecting it to be as magical as it was. We enjoyed the beauty of the river, the wild life, and the closeness of the adorable seaside towns and iconic beaches. The house was warm and inviting and non of us wanted to leave.

Great Stay

I really enjoyed staying here! We were able to see bald eagles and otters. It was 25 minutes away from Cannon Beach, so easy to visit there, but far enough out from the busy areas. My son even did some fishing and we used the kayak. The only bummer was that after the first person showered, the water wasn't really warm. That being said, this rental was stocked with everything you'll need. I would stay again!

Beautiful House on Nahalem River

We stayed with another family and had a fantastic time! Every morning, we savored the river view while soaking in the hot tub, creating a perfect start to the day. In the evening, we enjoyed the fireplace while watching movies. We shared memorable memories with our fellow guests during our stay. Ted’s prompt responsiveness to our questions enhanced the experience. The house is impeccably stocked, ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay. We're already looking forward to planning our next visit!

What a view!

We had such a wonderful time with our party of 8! We loved the open room concept so we could all be together, though the weather didn’t allow us to sit on the deck we all agreed we would be coming back at a later date when the weather is better, we did enjoy looking out the river and watching for wildlife.. Ted was easy to work with, answered all questions and check in was a breeze!

Big House, Exceptional Views

Gibson House is situated right where the Nehalem River Forks, affording great unobstructed views from the large upper and lower decks. The location, with no direct neighbors and the layout of the house, with the master on a different level than the two secondary bedrooms make it an excellent COVID period rental for a family or two couples.

Great family vacation!

We loved the house and the property! It was kid friendly, dog friendly, and grandparent friendly all at the same time. We loved the unique features of the house - the wood ceilings, nice fixtures, and solid furniture. The added touches for convenience and luxury were nice as well - we played games, flipped through magazines and books, and used the kayak with our dog. Our kids loved swimming in the river and collecting shells and rocks at low tide. The hot tub was a big hit for all of us! Peaceful mornings with bald eagles flying overhead. We definitely would stay here again. Thanks, Ted!

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time at the Gibson house! The setting was gorgeous and birdwatching fantastic. Best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen. While listed for 10 guests, it’s really a better fit for 8 as the bed sizes more comfortably fit 8 (7 if all adults) and for enough hot water for showers after the beach. A pull-out sofa would have helped our group. I’ll be going back with a smaller group next time. Thanks, Ted!
