Built in the early 60's as a fishing retreat, it is a perfect getaway for a couple, or a family of three or four. Completely remodeled, this cozy little cabin is located right on the river and in the heart of old logging history. With the mountains and river, it provides a perfect excuse to hike, bike, fish and explore.
Enjoy the bright open kitchen and living area. Heated by a gas fireplace, it makes cold nights cozy and comfortable. The main bedroom boasts a comfortable queen bed, with down comforter, and in the winter warm cozy flannel sheets. In the bunk area, find two rustic built-in bunk beds with a custom wood 100 year-old Juniper tree ladder.
With 80' of river frontage, watch river birds, otters, ospreys, salmon, chipmunks, quail, deer and the occasional elk, who venture down to enjoy the apple orchard. Build a fire in the fire pit on the river bank below the cabin's private deck and enjoy an evening under the stars. We even provide the wood!
In the summer when the river is at its lowest, a small island appears. Here enjoy seeing blue heron, ducks, deer, otters, kingfishers and other river wildlife hoping to catch that fish or two, or just enjoying the river. Right in front of the cabin, it makes morning coffee a whole lot more enjoyable.
Located on the East Fork of the Millicoma River, three miles from Golden and Silver Falls State Park in Coos County, and with the 92,000 acre Elliott State Forest and the 210,000 acre Weyerhaeuser Millicoma Tree Farm as neighbors, you'll enjoy the beautiful southern Oregon Coast Range at its best.
THE FISH ARE HERE! Chinook salmon spawn in front of the cabin from November to January and steelhead fishing starts mid-December and runs through March. Enjoy the fall colors and in winter, perhaps a snowfall or two.
Early spring brings lot's of early wildflowers like the Chocolate Lily and the Trillium. During the months of July through late September, fill your basket with fresh blackberries or spend time picking apples in our orchard. In October, visit the Mahaffey Ranch in the town of Allegany, and pick out that perfect pumpkin.
Open all year are the wonderful hiking trails at Golden and Silver Falls State Park. Hike through an old growth forest of Douglas Fir, Big Leaf Maple and Oregon Myrtlewood trees, while enjoying the scenic, beautiful and historic Glenn Creek. At a height of 240' Golden Falls is quite possibly the most impressive waterfall in the Coast Range of Oregon. Both falls are located within a rustic state park, adorned by a trail system and a nice picnic area at the trailhead. Originally the Allegany to Scottsburg Pack Trail, this hiking path was a stage coach route from 1909 to 1912.
Featuring a fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of towels, pack your toothbrush, and those books you've wanted to read, and stay awhile. Whatever you choose, we know you'll enjoy your stay.
(We have provided several books on our area's local history, covering logging, mysteries and legends. Hike above Golden Falls and explore the old homestead, making for an exciting day trip.)

Map & Owner's Profile
Little Cabin on the River-Hideout in a Coastal Forest
Year Purchased: 2010
Why the Owner Chose Coos Bay
I grew up alongside this little cabin. When it came up for sale in 2010, I couldn't think of anything better than to open it to family, friends, and travelers. My family has been a part of this wonderful valley since the 50's. Never crowded, it is a great place to kick back and relax. The weather is milder here and we don't get that cold wind or fog off the ocean. This is a rural area, but also a safe and fun place to bring your family. Mine grew up here.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
I really enjoy all of the seasons here. I look forward to the summer barbecues, swimming, and just being outside. Fall is wonderful with all the trees changing colors and the salmon traveling up the river to spawn. One of the best places to see this is right in front of this little cabin. Winter brings wild mushroom picking and the rain, which raises the river and makes Golden and Silver Falls so spectacular. Fishing is one of my most favorite hobbies, so I live where I can do that. In Spring everything is green, the birds start to nest, and the mountain mist is beautiful.
Located at the junction of Glenn Creek and the East Fork of the Millicoma River.
Twenty-four miles from Coos Bay/North Bend, east up the Coos River past Allegany and the west fork of the Millicoma River - literally "where the sidewalk ends" - is one of the hidden gems of Coos County: Golden and Silver Falls. Their beauty aside, history lives here. Above Golden Falls a pack trail from the 1800's leads into the backcountry of Glenn Creek Valley and Scottsburg. Blasted out in 1901 by Glenn Creek homesteaders, the trail above Golden Falls became a "road" that was serviced by the county until 1958, when the last of the related homesteaders moved out of the valley. Silver Falls is considered a "veil" waterfall.
Symmetrical in form, the Myrtlewood tree is a beauty of nature. Their height can reach 100 feet, and trunk diameter four feet or more. Growing on a slender ribbon of land along the Pacific coast between the Cascades and the ocean, this evergreen beauty, flourishes best in the counties of Coos, Curry and Western Douglas of Southwestern Oregon. The Myrtlewood is found only here and in the Holy Land. Trees with trunks of four-foot diameter are estimated to be about 500 years old.
Located 15 miles east of Coos Bay, the small community of Allegany is rich in history and is gateway to two well known Oregon waterfalls, Golden and Silver Falls. Established in 1893, Allegany boasts a small community church, post office, community center, and country market.
The Post Office is located in the old Allegany School which now is the community center. Open to the public it has a basketball gym and library.
The Oregon Dunes are a unique area of windswept sand that is the result of millions of years of wind, sun, and rain erosion on the Oregon Coast. These are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America. Some dunes tower up to 150 meters above sea level, providing numerous recreational opportunities including off-road vehicle use, hiking, photography, fishing, and camping. The dunes are located on the Oregon Coast stretching approximately 40 miles north from the Coos River in North Bend to the Siuslaw River in Florence.
Renamed the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, the airport is located in North Bend.
Southwest of Coos Bay on Cape Arago Highway is the quaint fishing village of Charleston, known for its safe harbor, charter boat services, clamming, crabbing, great restaurants, shops, and whale watching.
Perched on rugged sandstone cliffs high above the ocean, Shore Acres State Park is an exciting and unexpected combination of beautiful natural and constructed features. Once the grand estate of pioneer timber baron Louis Simpson, Shore Acres features lushly planted gardens with plants and flowers from all over the world. Something is in bloom almost every day of the year. View some of the most spectacular winter storms and wave action on the Oregon Coast. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's eve, the park comes alive with over a quarter million lights. Popular hiking trails lead north and south from the park. Day-use fee.
The unique and historic town of Bandon. Wonderful stores, shops and restaurants make a fun day for all. Visit Bullards Beach State Park and try some kite flying or just enjoy a walk along this part of the beautiful Oregon coastline.

I enjoy fishing, gardening, and hiking. I have been fishing here since I was eight years old. I just enjoy the awesome seclusion of this area. This picture shows myself and my grandson with a fresh caught steelhead.

My girlfriend and I drove up the coast on a whim and didn't want to stay in a boring hotel so we called the owner very last minute and were pleasantly surprised when she said she would be happy to have us. The "cabin" is basically a fully stocked small house with everything you could need from pots and pans, fishing poles and WiFi. There is a deck, a fire pit and the best part is the river comes up almost to the back door. We decided to stay there because it was somewhere different but next time I am bringing my fishing pole as we saw most of the locals fishing up and down the river. It is also about ten minutes away from two huge water falls (Gold and Silver falls) that are a must see. I’m sure the owner would love a little more notice but, her willingness to take us last minute meant a lot to us and shows you who you are dealing with. Thanks, we will be back!!!
Owner response:Glad you enjoyed your visit. It is steelhead season right now and since "The Little Cabin" has 80' of private river frontage you have an advantage of not having to share with other fishermen. The Millicoma River is a great place to fish for steelhead, trout, and salmon. There is no fishing in March and April, but there is crabbing and ocean fishing out of Charleston. If fishing is what you want to do while at the cabin, let us know and we'll help make your stay the very best!

Get Away From It All And Relax

My wife and I left behind the kids, the dog, the jobs, our phones, the computers, and anything else remotely connected to our hectic and stressful lives. For two weeks we read, cooked for each other, hiked, sat in the river in a lawn chair and basically enjoyed the neat and tidy Little Cabin. For a change of scenery, Coos Bay has all the amenities, and the surrounding area has lots of diversions, from the amazing Oregon Coast to the Dunes, to the quaint pubs and book shops of town. The Gold and Silver Falls are a must see and the hosts were an absolute pleasure to deal with, and talk to while we were there. We've traveled lots - from Rome to Dublin to Miami and if you want to get away from it all, Little Cabin is your spot. Thanks again for a great vacation It was just what we needed.
Owner response:Thank you, Allison and Kevin for your wonderful review. Your kind words and thoughtfulness in sending it is so appreciated. I couldn't imagine a better review. If we have the pleasure of meeting other guests as nice as you, then this adventure will be awesome. Thank you again for choosing our little cabin for your vacation.

We stayed at The Little Cabin on the River in July, 2011, for almost a week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay thanks to our kind and thoughtful hosts, Dee & Tom! hey were great about offering insight to local places and things to do. It was relaxing, quiet and just what we were looking for in our Coos Bay vacation. The cabin has been tastefully renovated with all of the amenities of home. It was spotless and included a great soaking tub. The view off of the back deck is spectacular.The river is crystal clear and is right behind the cabin. We spent a couple of days hiking around the area and just enjoying nature. There are beautiful waterfalls within two or three miles of the cabin. Additionally, there are other state and county parks on the way to the cabin. We went into Coos Bay a few times to pick up fresh fish (right off the boat downtown), visit the Pre museum and just enjoy the harbor view. One of the day trips was to the dunes north of town. The area is rich in tradition and steeped in hospitality. Everywhere we went people were more than happy to help. Truly, The Little Cabin on the River is a vacation we will always remember.

The perfect vacation, with a human touch

Do you like the coastal forest but would like to enjoy sandy beaches? Do you miss the sunset over the ocean horizon, but the kids demand a campfire in a wilderness setting? Would you love to prepare a juicy BBQ in the evening surrounded by mountains and pristine forests, but also have a craving for a wonderful seafood buffet? You can have the cake and eat it too! The Little Cabin makes everything possible at the same time, thanks to its strategic location up the beautiful Millicoma River. The cabin is close enough to Coos Bay and the beaches (or the US101) to enjoy a great sunny day in Sunset Bay or Bullard Beach (you ought to yourself to comb that beach for agates and jaspers!), while retired enough from the crowds to close that very same day with juicy ribs cooked "al carbon" (with charcoal, provided by the kind owners), on your own deck facing the river running slowly in front of your grill... oh yes, if you have children, that is not the closing. There is a firepit right by the river for a wonderful campfire, while you wait for the last sunlight to fade away and open the amazing view of the Milky Way! Meteorites count competition anyone? We could go on and on detailing all the wonders of this rental, but we have to leave something for you to explore and discover. This experience will be full of surprises, all of them great and inspiring. What really makes it exceptional, though, is the owners. You may find another rental with some of the character and amenities that this one offers (although we doubt it), but you won't find a cabin as loved and taken care of as this one. Quoting the owners, "this is our baby", and they make you feel it. Everything is clean, organized, the attention to detail is awe inspiring, the taste in decoration is amazing... if you think you will need something for your vacation, be it 3 days or 15, forget it... everything is there, in the beautiful cozy kitchen, from flour to exotic spices. If you happen to have an exquisite taste for something missing in that kitchen, don't worry: the owners are there for you! And that, in the end, is what makes a perfect vacation idilic: the human touch. The owners provide that, in any way possible. They will make you feel as part of the familiy. They even took our children for a boat ride in the river. Where else can you find such a complete commitment to a rental? Only in the Little Cabin... take it, you won't be dissapointed!
Owner response:Wow! Thank you for letting us know that you enjoyed your visit. Our goal has always been to make our little cabin affordable to families, and our guests to feel welcomed, comfortable and relaxed. It sounds like we did just that. And yes, you are right, the nights here are pretty spectacular. Glad we could share our little piece of heaven with you and your family.

I rented this cabin for two weeks during December and had a lovely stay. It was nice and quiet, comfortable, a true getaway. It was nice to look out the big windows at the river flowing by and watching salmon swimming in the water. The cabin has a living room (I love the wood coffee table!), full kitchen area with dishes and appliances, a dining area by the big windows overlooking the river, a nice bathroom with separate shower and deep soaking tub, a bedroom with the most comfortable big bed and soft sheets and warm blankets, and a small room off the bedroom with bunk beds. We had a telephone, a television and dvd player with dvds to choose from, and books and magazines to read about the local area and the pacific northwest. Our hosts also left us some additional goodies like popcorn, cookies, and hot chocolate mix. I definitely recommend this cabin as a vacation rental. Though I never personally met the hosts, I spoke with them over the phone and they were wonderful people. I hope to rent this cabin again next time I'm in Coos Bay visiting.

My family and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday here and were pleasantly surprised to find this little cabin so comfortable, very relaxing and quite fun. We sat at the table and played games while watching the river roll by. Listening to the rain on the roof was so peaceful, and the Jackson's made us feel very welcomed. We took walks and watched the fish jump which was very cool. We will definately be back.
