Great separation of space with second bedroom/studio apt - separate private entrance.
Relax in the unique Asian bathroom spa equipped with a gas stove, sauna, two-person Japanese soaking tub and glass brick shower which juts out into the garden to capture the morning sun. Wake up in the morning and wander into your private meditation garden for coffee - sit in nature listening to the sounds of the ocean and the birds. Or sip coffee on the deck listening to the waves and looking at the ocean.
When you are feeling more energetic walk 200 feet to a beautiful, wide, sandy beach that goes on for miles.
Enjoy form and function at the Zen House - including the master craftsman woodwork and Zen-style influences throughout this beautiful and unique home.

The kitchen is fully equipped for the gourmet cook with quality implements.

The second bedroom is a studio apt above the detached garage with a separate entrance. This provides great separation of space for children or another couple. It has a double bed, sink, refrigerator, TV/Cable, and a small futon. The bathroom for this is downstairs in the garage (bathroom not available during the rainy season). A deck connects the master bedroom and the studio apt.

As an antidote to kitschy beach decor, this home exudes peace and comfort. The sauna and tub are the perfect place to recover from a long beach walk, though we also brought bikes and headed up the lovely Yachats River Rd. The beach nearby was nicer than expected, partly because we had calm, clear weather. If reviews could hold a photo, I'd include the shot of a surprised deer in the garden, eying me over the bushes. Highly recommended, thanks for sharing.Owner response: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed The Zen House. Please send the photo to our email, I'll see about posting it!

An amazing house next to a very wonderful beach. Although this property is not ocean front it is a gem! The spa in the house is heaven, very beautiful. We spent a lot of time in there relaxing, soaking, sweating. You basically have your own spa inside a very sweet little house. The bed is ubber comfy and the kitchen is very functional. The garden is really sweet and full of birds.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for your kind words...come back soon! Nan

The Zen Beach House was the perfect place for a week of reflection and rejuvenation. The house is so Zen, with lovely details, and the energy of the place was just what we were hoping for. The wood-burning stove, the sauna, the soaking tub and the lovely glass block shower made us feel pampered without leaving the house! The beach is close enough that we could hear the waves crashing each night. The Zen House is completely private and very serene and peaceful. Hard to leave, but we intend to return at the next opportunity.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks Michael, we hope to see you again very soon!

We spent hours online searching for a rental house on the central Oregon coast that would provide for a peaceful, relaxing & romantic New Years Eve... a place that was also within walking distance to a nice beach, where dogs were permitted, and it had to be clean and well kept up. When we walked into the Zen House, I fell in love! It was all of these things, and even better than I had hoped for. We enjoyed a beautiful, warm fire every night. The bed was very comfortable and clean. We walked for miles with our dogs on the beach just down the street, and we went golfing in Florence at Sandpines (which was very nice course though very cold and windy). My favorite thing was the spa / bathroom. The house was design with such care and attention to details. I highly recommend the Zen House. We will definitely return!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for your kind words Mike. Come back soon!

My wife and I have stayed at the Zen House a couple times now, and have enjoyed every trip. It's a great place to unwind for a few days. There is quite a bit to do in and around the house, as well as several different state park areas. This last time we brought along a small kayak, and meandered up into the Beaver Creek State Natural Area for the day. We didn't see any beavers this time, but did see lots of other various wildlife including a bald eagle that flew 30 feet over the top of us!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your repeat business - glad you appreciate the cozy nature of the Zen House - we enjoy that aspect as well.

The Zen house was exceptional. Everything in the house was just right including the comforting energy of the space. Our favorite was soaking in the Japanese tub, taking a sauna and then a shower in the outdoor like setting. Just steps away from a perfect beach a nice long walk every morning really set the tone. The owners are very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely stay here again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Our intention is to create and maintain the unique and special environment that you experienced. Thanks so much for appreciating it - and please come back.

The Zen house is perfect for a couple wanting a quiet, restorative weekend away. It sleeps more, but I highly recommend esp for a romantic trip - honeymoon, etc. The soaking tub is wonderful - as is the sauna - you really can't beat romping on the beach and warming up in this bathroom! You have to see it to really appreciate how great it is. There are neighbors nearby, so remember it's not a secluded spot, but the garden and house are very quiet and peaceful. Go!Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Glad you enjoyed our spa experience with the sauna and soaking tub. There's something about that tub.....

We had a great time at the Zen House. The house is wonderfully decorated with Zen inspired architectural and artistic elements. The beach is just a block from the house! The house has a very nice bathroom with wondeful open shower, sauna and bath, and a nice deck upstairs to sit in the sun in the morning to sip a cup of coffee. I would definitely recommend staying here - you'll have a great experience.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This is one of those quaint places on the coast that has been here a while. The difference from other places I have stayed on the coast is that it is obvious a lot of care has been put into the place. The sauna area is off to the side, clean and private. The floor plan seems to have evolved in a way that fits the name. Combine that with the decor and the books on the shelves and this truly is a Zen House. We had an excellent time with four of us staying for two nights. The kitchen is nicely equipped so we could prepare out own meals and enjoy them in the living/dining area. It's a really short walk to the beach, and we pretty much had it to ourselves. There is a lot to do and see within just a few miles up or down the coast. For us, the biggest feature is the sauna, spa, shower area. The sauna gets hot, and the huge open shower is just a few steps away for cooling off. The tub is really cool. If you want a romantic soak, this is it. The only negative comment I have is that the guest room, above the separate garage, has no bathroom. That meant a walk down the stairs and over to the house at night. In short, if you want a cozy yet luxurious place to stay, well designed, well kept, and just comfortable, take a look at the Zen House. My son lives in NYC, visiting Oregon once a year. We have decided to reunite every year at the Zen House. I am looking forward to it.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My husband and I came to the Zen House for our honeymoon. This place is a hidden Gem! The house was in amazing shape and we enjoyed every amentity it had to offer. It was a perfect place to relax and spend a romantic time with your signifcant other. The house is very close to Yahacts and we recommend the Luna fish house for a Great meal. There are plenty of amazing hikes and sightseeing to do. Thank you and we plan on coming back again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Congratulations on your wedding - and so glad you enjoyed your honeymoon at the Zen Beach Retreat. We agree that it's a wonderful place to have a romantic interlude - whether it's your first week or fourth decade of being together. Hope you can return.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Hi folks, I am a professional musician and an IT consultant. I play violin, piano and compose music, and work in the field of Geographic Information Systems (what's that?? - I won't bother explaining). My sweetie is a first grade teacher. We enjoy traveling, hiking, skiing - an active life. And of course we love being at the beach in Oregon.
Why the Owner Chose Yachats:
This house is so unique - the design, craftsmanship and feel of the place immediately drew me to it. I also knew the owners because they also own businesses (Toad Hall - go there!) in Yachats that I had been to and enjoyed. Ocean beaches have always been special to me - and Yachats is my favorite place on the Oregon Coast - and it's only 2 hours from Eugene where I live. So when this came up for sale - I snatched it up.
Everyone that stays here recognizes the special qualities of the Zen Beach Retreat House - usually guests feel very relaxed and excited at the same time to be in such an unusual, high quality home - without the high price.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
For less than the cost of a typical coastal hotel room one gets:
- A fully outfitted kitchen so you can cook for yourself and avoid the expense of eating out.
- A two-person Japenese soaking tub in a beautiful spa bathroom.
- A sauna.
- Beautiful Asian wood craftsmanship and design touches throught the house.
- Two different sleeping areas with great separation of space.
- A beautiful meditation garden and deck.
- Access to a beautiful, wide, sandy beach that goes on for miles - with few people on it.
