The Puffin House is located at the edge of Nehalem State Park, with miles of great biking and walking trails, horseback riding, access to the bay for kayaking, boating, crabbing, and fishing. It is also a short three-block walk from the house to seven-mile long Manzanita Beach, one of the most spectacular beaches on the north coast. If you feel up for a good walk, head south on Manzanita Beach and walk to the jetty, which is usually covered with seals lounging on the rocks or fishing in the water, along with heron and egrets searching for crabs at water's edge.

If golf is your game, the house is only four blocks from the beautiful Manzanita Golf Course (nine hole) or a short walk to the driving range, if you just feel like practicing. There is ample parking for a boat, and the boat ramp into the bay is less than a mile down the road in the State Park.

The tastefully furnished house is also perfectly suited for simply lazing about; reading, listening to music, relaxing on the deck, or watching the deer graze in the yard, and taking in all the natural beauty around you. The house has bicycles of all sizes, a fully-equipped kitchen, TV with DVD and VCR, and all linens are provided. It is a truly relaxing getaway.

    • We had a great stay at the Puffin House. The kitchen is well equipped, and the house is just a short walk to the beach. The back deck was perfect for the sunny early fall afternoons. Thanks!

    • We had a wonderful time at the Puffin House this August. The owners were kind enough to let us have our wedding reception there. It was beautiful! Close to the beach, everything we needed. Thank you!!!

    • We had such a wonderful three days at the Puffin House. We made good use of the bikes, the grill, the fireplace, and the good books tucked away in the bookshelves. The house could not be more comfortable or lovely. Our group traveled eight hours to reach the Oregon Coast, and the Puffin House exceeded our (already high) expectations. What a great vacation home!

    • The house was wonderful, nicely furnished and very close to be able to walk into town via the road or the beach. We spent alot of time relaxing on the sunny deck and listening to all the birds and wind whispering through the beach pines. It was perfect for our 3 day stay in Manzanita. The only downside is that there was lots of RV traffic driving by to get to the state park that is literally steps away from the front door.

    • Great house - perfect for our family with 4 boys. Loved the outside shower, a real bonus when removing wet suits. Ideal spot with easy access to everywhere...

    • Hi Kammie, We love your home, it was just right for the two of us. We painted at the dining room table while we listened to your cd's. We enjoyed your beach glass book and all the cool art in the house. We layed out on the back deck, BBQ'd and played our drums. The house was very clean and comfortable. We especially liked the cozy down comforters! Thanks for your wonderful hospitality, it was refreshing. Smiles,Julie and Jesse.

    • This cabin was perfect for our family getaway! Four little boys fit perfectly in the bunk room and the upstairs bedrooms are thoughtfully situated (no shared walls). Short walk to a stunning (if chilly) beach. Cabin had pretty much everything we needed, and Kamala, the cabin's owner was very gracious. Great value also! Recommended. Thanks Kamala!!

    • The Puffin House is a warm, charming place to relax and enjoy! I am a frequent guest here and leave always wanting to stay longer. Walking distance to the ocean, the town of Manzanita takes great pride in the beach and town. There are various charming shops and restaurants, and good take out! The Puffin house has proven to be a great spot for family vacations with the bunkhouse, which the kids love. I will definately be back!

    • It was a pleasure to stay at "Puffin House" last fall. It was the perfect place for our "women's get away weekend". Very charming, clean and tastefully decorated. There is a large gathering table off the kitchen and living room which are open to each other. The beds are comofortable and have nice linens and coverings. The bunkroom is fun for friends and families. There is an easy and pleasant walk to the beach through the quaint neighborhood. The beach is great, lots of sand to roam and not crowded. Manzanita is very charming and has many shops and restaurant that are interesting and fun. I really enjoyed my stay and would love to go back to this relaxing little town and the Puffin House!
