Location: Coos Bay, Southern Coast, Oregon, USA (On the Oregon Coast in historic Empire near ocean and dunes) View Map
Accommodations: House, 1 Bedroom + Bunk Area, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4)
Keywords: Vacation Home on private lot
This 1908 cottage, rebuilt in 2005 after fire destroyed the top floor, is a cozy getaway nestled in the coastal town where Annie's grandfather was, long ago, the Mayor and mill worker on the bay. It's the perfect spot for the family vacation, writer's/artist's hangout or business trip.
From Annie's Cottage, the beach is as close as a few blocks or a short drive to the active fishing village of Charleston and the business meeting is less than a 15 minute drive no matter which direction you go in Coos Bay or North Bend, yet you have the feeling the moment you step out of the car and stroll up the stone path and hear the soothing sound of the water fall, that all the tensions of your active every day life are just no where to be found.
A day playing in the sand dunes or at the beach or taking a hike along the coast is perfectly ended by a soak in the jacuzzi tub and then lean back in the recliner overlooking the bay to watch the sunset and the occasional ship go by. Our non commercial, relaxing, authentic little town will invite you back again and again to forget there ever was a freeway, a long line to stand in or a phone ringing off the hook.

Map & Owner's Profile
Annie's Cottage, Quiet Getaway, Peaceful Waterfall
Year Purchased: 1983
Why the Owner Chose Coos Bay
We've always loved the Oregon coast, and the Coos Bay area is full of unspoiled beauty. The non-commercialized beaches, dunes and forests are exquisite. The air is fresh and clean, and the temperatures are always moderate.
The Unique Benefits at this House
From the minute you begin your walk up the path to the front door, there is a peace about the Cottage. It is a resting place, a place to truly kick back and take it easy. From the easy chairs overlooking the bay on the top floor, you can watch ships and fishing boats and an occasional barge go by. Once in awhile a tall ship can be seen, such as the Lady Washington. Whether it's sitting on the rocks of the waterfall in the front yard and watching the neighborhood birds play in the water or relaxing in the jacuzzi tub upstairs, it is a true getaway, a destination.
Owner's Map of Coos Bay
Paul and Annie Comfort share a love for this little, authentic coastal community. Each have deep roots in the community and have participated in local theater and music. Paul bought the home that is now Annie's Cottage over 20 years ago with hopes of entertaining friends there. A bachelor for many years, he was a customer of Annie's when she was a sales clerk in the 1970's & 80's at a local Radio Shack. He worked in marine electronics in the nearby fishing village of Charleston and later was the technical director at a local theater. Annie moved away after college and, after the death of her first husband, returned to Coos Bay where they met again and fell in love after working on a music project together. After fire destroyed the top floor of the Cottage, they were wed and rebuilt the Cottage in 2004 with the dream of sharing it with people just like them who just need a peaceful getaway from time to time.

Comfy cottage

Annies Cottage was the perfect hangout spot for my family for two nights. Outside of town on a quiet street, with bubbling water running right by the house, yet just minutes to the beach. But for the real blast of entertainment, just a short drive for dune buggy action or the beautiful Cape Arago State Park. (Coos Bay Visitors Center makes excellent suggestions.)
Owner response:Thank you for taking wonderful care of the Cottage during your stay! Also, thanks for your suggestion regarding the dual bench. We had sort of ignored the blocked view for the one seat, but after your suggestion, we moved the bench and we like it much better! We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and are looking forward to your return!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We came to the Coos Bay area in Nov 2010 to visit friends and decided to try a vacation rental rather than a hotel or B&B. We were not disappointed! Annie and Paul put considerable time, energy and thought into how to make their guests feel welcome and at home. We had everything we needed for our four day stay and the location made getting around the area easy. The home is in great condition and even though it was storming outside, we were cozy inside. There was enough room that we were able to host our friends and their children for a "family night" and we created some great memories. I now see Annie's Cottage as "my" vacation get-away. We'll stay here everytime we visit!
Owner response:A big thank you to our guests who make Annie's Cottage what it is. You are the best, and your appreciation for the Cottage has shown up in how you have cared for it during your stay. You make our job easy and satisfying. We look forward to providing you with a 'home away from home' for years to come.

We just returned from our trip this week (Apri 2010) to help my sister plan her wedding. We were pleasantly surprised how nice the cottage was. Annie and Paul keep it in good condition and have included many little details for your visit. We own a hotel (B&B) and expect nice rooms and many times are dissappointed. We highly recommend Annie's Cottage - its worth every penny.

Last summer, July 2008, we stayed in Anne's cottage. It was nicely furnished, well kept and very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Our time their was a pleasure and a great getaway to a cool place along the Oregon coast.
