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.
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!
Very nice house tucked in woodland that feels like a remote retreat but is just outside Florence. Living room and outdoor spaces are very peaceful surrounded by woodland and there's a lot of effort to make guests comfortable throughout.
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 Initial instructions for checkin were out of date but owners reached out before stay to provide updated info.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.
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. Itâs 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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
The road is steep, VERY steep, leading to the property but there was a forest wonderland located at the top. It was private and secluded. There was plenty of room for parking and outside activities. The forest trails were private and safe for all levels of walkers. It was a cabin with space and we were very comfortable.
Amazing setting with areas for gathering and exploring. Area for morning reflections with covered deck and sitting area, day of hiking and adventures in woodland setting and dunes, evenings around the campfire for marshmallows, songs and stories, night of comfortable slumber and dreams. Driveway was steep yet notified of this prior to visit and we were able to navigate up to find a exceptional getaway secluded and magical. The Turner Clan
I rented the property and was originally told I would receive the code to lock box a week prior to our arrival, the second email stated It would be better for us to meet prior at designated location to drive us to property, I was given three numbers and asked to call a half hour prior to our arrival, all numbers were unresponsive, sent email, text numbers, no response. I have tried to contact the host, no response. Due to no response, I had to rent an alternate location. To date, I have yet to be contacted by the host. Filed a case with VRBO, still waiting, and waiting. It is unfortunate that the customer seems to fall on the way side. I would not suggest the property as a choice of rentals if you visit Florence Oregon. Have a nice.
I do not recommend staying here. If you can make it up the steep graveled driveway and bring similar supplies as you would glamping, the location and privacy of this house canât be beat. Our two wheel drive Kia Sorento barely made it up the driveway with a running start. We had warm water in the kitchen compared to other reviews but the pressure was non existent. Showers were not possible, not even a trickle of water came out of the shower head. The bathroom sink never had warm water and we had issues with the toilet flushing properly because of the lack of pressure. We had to wash any dish before using them not because of a few smudges but because the layers of grease on items. The house was ill stocked with essentials like enough toilet paper and dish towels. The internet did not work at all and the owner was non responsive to our request for support via text. He randomly stopped by to pick up some tools and said he would be back, he never came. The lack of screens on the windows made the July heat tough.
Weâve experienced minor inconveniences with properties in the past but have never had a stay thay made us want to go home. If it were for us traveling with my elder parents who couldnât make the long drive again so quickly, we would have left.
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 itâs escalated when you call back they either donât see escalation or that no one has taken the ticket. Horrible overall experience would highly not recommend
I wish I could say I enjoyed this stay like I have in the past this was the 3rd year in a row we have booked this home, and never had an issue till this time around. ! No water the first night we arrived at 6pm. 8PM came around and lost water... tried to get ahold if someone it was difficult. Didnt get water till we got back next evening around 6pm.... had water the rest of the day/night/ half morning. Go on about our day go to the dunes. Come back thinking everything was good, only to find out NO WATER once again. Contactated the owner and no response... sad to say this is the last we book this place đ afraid we will run across other issues next..... we pay for a home to have comfort... yet we struggled the whole stay. Didnt go book a hotel since it ment we would have paid double $$ Must i say we didnt get any reimbursement or other accommodations of some sort. ....
Water pressure was too weak to switch from the tub faucet to the shower head. Last four days the water went out completely. We had to grab the shovel and do our business in the woods.
