Quiet Riverside cottage

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is right next the the river in a quiet area just outside Nehalem. It was the perfect place to stay and explore the Oregon coast.

Paradise on the river

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the views and eating breakfast on the front porch. The neighbors were all very friendly and the location was perfect for day adventures to neighboring towns, especially Manzanita and Cannon Beach. I’d highly recommend this cabin!

Loved this cabin, it was clean and cute just like the listing said. Very small in the best way with just enough space for my partner and I. Everyone in the neighborhood was super sweet and kind. Would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful cottage

Lovely little cottage right next to the river. It does have neighbors pretty close to it, but everyone is very kind. Really close to a downtown that has a few shops and a small market. Would definitely recommend going and will come back to visit one day!

Beautiful river

I enjoyed my stay at this place very much. The riverside location was peaceful and beautiful. The house was comfortable and clean. The only small complaint I have is there was not enough hot water for a decent shower.
Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on Jul 21, 2024
Glad you enjoyed your stay Julia. This cottage had a very small water heater when we bought it but the little thing keeps on trucking so we’ve elected not to replace with a larger one until it dies. Though small it almost always allows 1 person to have a good shower, but it can’t quite due 2 until it gets a chance to recharge. The bathhouse with strong water pressure and tons of hot water is just steps away from the cottage so showers are always available there. That information is included in the cottage info packet. However, some folks may not want that minor inconvenience so it is helpful for guests to be aware that managing hot water can require some planning. Thanks for the feedback.

Very quiet. VERY small.

We enjoyed our time, and the accommodations were precisely as advertised. But the perforce brevity of the hot showers and the extremely small space were not features favorable to the likeliness of our return.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 23, 2021
Glad to know you found the description accurate, yes it's a small space and not ideal for all. The small size of the cottage also restricts the size of water heater that fits, fortunately the shower house has lots of hot water and is only steps away.

LOVED IT

We absolutely loved our stay. It was clean, quiet and very relaxing. We stayed for a week and have no complaints. The neighbors in the park were very welcoming and very nice people. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a place I have stayed at for a vacation. The area is wonderful. The places to eat around were very good. Spent most the time exploring and down at the beaches. I would recommend this listing to anyone. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect!

We could not have asked for more. The beauty of the surroundings was stunning, and our little cabin by the river was perfect. To add to the experience the people there were so wonderful and welcoming. Peggy and Rick even had a camp fire for us to gather around the night before we left. On the way back we both agreed it was now the only place on the coast we wanted to go!

Vacation

I was not happy when I got there and nothing was clean . ,I didn't go on vacation to have to make the bed and clean the bathroom. Also , went to take a shower 🚿 and no clean towels. Once we got the place cleaned and towels ,it was perfect . I would stay here again .

I agree Joann that was a terrible mishap, I too would have been angry about arriving at a vacation rental in that state and felt awful it affected your trip. That's the first time this has happened in over 10 years of hosting but even once is too much. I adjusted my scheduling system so it won't happen to anyone else, refunded your cleaning fee and so appreciated your kindness and understanding about the whole thing. I'm thankful you were still able to enjoy your time and we will welcome you for future visits with a sparkling clean cottage.

Quiet Oasis

The perfect place for a quiet weekend away. The bed was comfortable. We did not use the kitchen much as we ate out or had a very simple dinner. It seemed the basics were available. The place is small but perfect for two. There was some confusion on the hot water but that did get answered eventually. The bath house just a short walk away was easily available and had a nice hot shower. If you are looking for a quiet weekend away with easy access to the ocean area, this is your place.

Charming Cabin

The cabin is lovely as the community where it is located. It was so relaxing to and watch The river move in and out with the tides. Upon arrival we were greeted with a giant rainbow. The cabin had everything we needed to cook good meals and have great sleep. We had a bit of a problem getting the lockbox open to get the key, but the neighbor stepped forward with a trusty screwdriver and got it open for us. We loved to be able to drive 10 minutes and watch the sunset. It is very special to have the river and the ocean in close proximity. Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring holiday.
