2 Miles South of Seaside on a Pond and a Creek
Location
Car: Necessary
There is a day hike over Tillamook Head from Ecola State Park, you can hike down to Short Sands private beach at Oswald West State Park or drive to Young's River Falls or Nehalem Falls. Coffenbury Lake and Cullably Lake for swimming,boating or picnicking within 10 miles or access to several different beaches to check out for beach combing & sunbathing. Gearhart and Sunset Beach you can actually drive on but not reccomended if the approach is built up with dry sand or the tide is coming in. You can have a beach bonfire as well as long as it is not in the dune grass for obvious reasons.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: I am a 51 year old single independent woman who loves to design, decorate and create and I am addicted to HGTV and Pinterest. I am always thinking about a new project. I love all animals especially dogs and horses. I have worked in a restaurant for 1 year, a plywood mill for 2 years, a fitness center for 4 years, did road construction for 15 years and currently run and manage my own rentals.
Why the Owner Chose Seaside, OR, USA:
I didn't buy the vacation rental in this location. I purchase it from Pacific Yurts in Cottage Grove as a kit and then it was my project on my days off. The house where I grew up is above the yurt and it is now listed on VRBO as well, listing # 431861. I am very independant and motivated and always have a project to keep me busy. I wanted to make it unique and like no other yurt that I had ever seen so I decided to frame in the windows and add white pine tongue and groove throughout. The windows have lodgepole pine trim. The soaking tub, shower, vanity, kitchen backsplash and kitchen island are accented with pebble tile. It is rustic yet elegant at the same time. It is a 5 minute drive to the beach in either direction and if you prefer the be in the mountains it is also just a short drive to go hiking or off roading to ride quads, dirt bikes or horses. There is plenty of room to turn around a boat or horse trailer on the property and plenty of parking. The yurt was actually up during the huge hurricane we had in 2007 with 140 mph sustained winds for 4 days and it handled it with ease. If you rent both properties together for a week I will give you a 10% discount.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
I have a few deer that frequent the property and you can hear the sound of frogs croaking in pond at night. On occasion you can hear coyotes in the fall or see raccoons and geese, chipmunks and squirrel around the property. There are wood ducks, blue herons, cranes, mergansers and king fisher that frequent the pond as well as a mallard and drake that come back to the pond every spring to have their babies. You can view heards of elk in the field on the way into town. We have even had a couple bear and cougar sightings. It is very peaceful with the sound of the creek running directly beside the yurt. There are lots of water dogs in the pond and a few KOI. There will be lots more fish by next summer as I am hoping to get it stocked with trout. The yurt is great for quality family time since there are lots of board games, an outside corn hole bag toss game and lots of movies. There is also an outside firepit and barbecue. Guess you could call it glamping (glamorous camping). What would camping be without the dogs, they are allowed and there is no pet fee.
There is plenty of room if you want to bring the boat or horse trailer or happen to have an RV. Tents are welcome too.
