My grandparents, George & Eva Hiatt, had this house built around '85 or '86 I think? Anyway, I used to spend my summers there growing up - I still wake up with that view in mind every once in a while. I love the remodel job - except I always loved that kitchen, but it's nice to see so many people enjoying the house. I do wish you'd put up some more pictures of Pistol River - the old school house, maybe even one of the old Crockett ranch about 1.5 miles up the North Bank PR road... Love the site, I just hope someday I'll actually get to come back and visit :)

Xmas as the coast

This was an absolutly wonderful stay for us. It was everything it was said to be and the views and grounds, including beach access, are better than the photos on the web page. We wanted a place that was large enough for my wife and I plus our son and family including two teenagers could relax in and possibly spend a lot of time inside in because it was, after all, winter on the Oregon coast so rain could just about be guaranteed at least at some point. There are four separate bedrooms, each with its own bath. Perfect! One for each of the couples and one for each teenager. Since we paid for it we got the upstairs master bedroom which turned out to be a great get a way to read while the rest of the folks were active, and what a view! In fact the views from the kitchen/dining room, living room, and of course outside deck were fantastic. Kitchen was well equipped and large enough for multiple cooking activities at the same time which is important to us because we are a cooking family and enjoy our time in the kitchen. There is a large refrigerator in the kitchen and another in the garage so we had enough room for all the food we brought for the entire week. The downstairs game room, which includes a separate bedroom, was also used on the couple of rainy days we had where we just decided to stay indoors. The walk to the beach turned out to be a great hike which we took at least once a day on all but I think two days. We will be back!

Owner response:We very much appreciate this very positive review however to not leave a wrong impression we should point out that while three of the bedrooms have their own connecting full bathrooms, the half bath for the basement bedroom is not connecting.

We just spent 5 nights here with kids & grandkids. The pictures don't do it justice with beach views from everywhere(including the master shower!) Your own sea stacks & tide pools an easy walk, hot tub to get the kinks out, great kitchen & big gas BBQ grill. Shuffleboard & Foosball every night. Great community playground in Gold Beach, plus bookstore/coffee shop and other artsy/crafty places(our favorite was the Myrtlewood store). Wonderful way to get away! 4/15/11

Dear Jacquie and Paul, Once again: Thank You so very much for making you wonderful house available for us to enjoy! Even though it rained and rained and rained, we had a fantastic time! Some of the Sisters managed to get a hike in; they got dropped of by Hunter Creek trail head and walk back to the house - they said it was very pretty and nice; timed it right with low tide. Five of the Sisters also enjoyed a beach horseback ride with Rust and Ed, from Hawks Rest Ranch - I think that will be something that appears again, on next years wish list for things to do at the beach. Some of us enjoyed a good meal at the Crazy Norweigian. So, as you can tell - we did not suffer. We are now back home and back to our regular schedule of sewing and painting Icons and caring for our goats and other critters; but we will continue to benefit from the very nice relaxing days at Pistol River Beach House. Thank You again! Most Sincerely, Your friends at the Convent of Saint Elizabeth 2/13/11

Hi Jacquie, The house was perfect, we'll definately keep it in mind for other travels south and our San Francisco family said they'd love to come back again. We had great weather and went horseback riding. The big hit with the kids was the cubby storage area between the 2 closets on the main level. My in-laws were thrilled to be in your home. Thank you, Rachel 2/3-6

Oh Paul, We had such a wonderful time. Your house is beautiful! We did have a pretty huge storm on Wed. Other than that (and the fact that I thought the house was going to blow off the hill that night) we had no glitches. Everything was great. We even had a couple of sunny days. We all went to the horse place on Tuesday and had a wonderful ride on the beach. I think we found over 150 sand dollars, the kids were ecstatic. I hope we get to use it again some day. Thanks again, Paula
