China Mountain House | a Premier Vacation Home

Four of us, 2 cousins and 2 spouses, arrived from opposite directions. China Mountain House was easy to find. As we drove the circular dirt/gravel drive onto the property it was as though we were in the mountains. All natural landscaping led to the house. We got a glimpse of the ocean view at the front door, then we walked into the great room and saw the ocean view that i had only dreamed about since booking the property. We're home I said, our home for 7 days and 7 nights. We all looked at each other and said WOW.

From the well equipped kitchen to the huge glass dining table, it was all there just like in the photos. We set up the dining table with a jigsaw puzzle at one end and played cards and ate dinner at the other end. For breakfast we ate at the huge island. The house has plenty of room so we didn't bump into each other throughout the day.

We found plenty to do in the area from the boat ride going up the Rogue River to a day trip to Bandon for lunch and a walk. Not to mention the band we saw in a quiet park right in the heart of Port Orford, beautiful music for a beautiful afternoon. Port Orford also has amazing walking trails along the cliffs of the Pacific ocean. For food we found a good pizza place and several different but fun seafood restaurants. There are 2 grocery stores in town. Everything is a 5 minute drive from the house. We did enjoy cooking/grilling at home for most meals, the house/main floor is a very comfortable space and atmosphere for home cooked meals...

It was a wonderful relaxing vacation in an amazing coastal region in southern Oregon. We recommend China Mountain House to anyone who is looking for some peace and quiet in an amazing home with an amazing view. We did have a little trouble with the audio/video system, Gary was available by phone to help with further instructions. He also mentioned he was working on a better audio/video player, which will make the system more user friendly.

One more important mention is we were able to bring our Abyssinian cat, Jack. He was much happier with us than being boarded without us at home. He loved the staircase and the window sills along the staircase. You could find him every afternoon on the master bed, with its glorious view, sun bathing and bathing himself, and napping...

Thank you Gary and Jennifer

I really enjoyed my week of peace at the China Mountain house.

I was able to view the full Harvest moon, and watch it set in early AM. I was able to see Saturn, and Venus, on my visit. Quite remarkable

Very quiet and serene.

Loved all the cooking utensils, and spices available to cook.

Everything was amazing.

A couple of suggestions, really need a couple more blankets, or bring your own, and no comfy lounge chairs to enjoy beautiful deck.

This is a place you come away from it all, which is what I truly needed.

We’ve had a wonderful time enjoying the house, views, ocean and changing weather. Looking forward to a return visit.

We loved our stay. The home was perfect for the occasion.

I felt like I was a part of the lifestyles of the rich and famous staying at China Mountain. The outside is a beautiful rust color with an incredible deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Inside is even better. The home had everything and more! Beautiful architecture and finishes, but the master bedroom with its open windows and view is the gem of the home. I loved waking up to the view and opening the sliding glass door to hear the ocean sounds. Fabulous place and great hosts!! Loved my time in Port Orford!!
