Mcdragonfly Cabin-wow! This Is Some Cabin.

Property description
Rates: Check in is 4 pm and check out is 11 am. We book through VRBO and they charge a service fee for collecting money, holding and returning damage deposits. Our basic rates are for 2 people, we charge $20-25 per person/night for over 2 people depending on the season.

If you want to connect with nature with the comforts of home this lakefront home near Lakeside is the perfect place! This stunning A-frame home is surrounded by trees and the lake, and features a private dock, an enormous deck.

Lakeside is a small town located between Reedsport and North Bend, nestled among the trees a few miles east of the ocean. This particular home is right on North Tenmile Lake, in a secluded and peaceful area away from the highway, close to the nearby cities for services and supplies. From this home you can enjoy boating, fishing, watching for wildlife, and basking in the beauty of nature.

This cabin was hand built by the owner and family and was designed to be a relaxing family get- away for boating and recreation. Start a fire in the pellet stove, have a seat on the comfortable sofas, and gaze out the windows at the gorgeous surroundings.

When it gets too dark to see outside, you can flip on the satellite TV, bring along a Blu-ray, DVD, or VHS movie to watch, access the WiFi, play a provided board game, or have a friendly tournament on the ping-pong, pool or foosball tables in the downstairs game room!

Use the well-appointed, beautiful kitchen (stocked with all sorts of fun gadgets like an Keurig coffeemaker, slow cooker, blender, mixer, and even a waffle iron) to cook up a nice dinner for everyone, and sit down together to enjoy a family-style meal filled with conversation and laughter. Serve at the dining room table which seats 8 or on the deck with seating for 10.

When it's bedtime, you will have two bedrooms each with a queen bed; or the loft which has a queen and a full bed; or the game room which has a full futon, queen sofa-bed or trundle twin beds. Altogether, 12 guests will have cozy and warm places to rest up for another day of vacationing. Don’t worry; there are three full bathrooms for everyone’s comfort.


Outside, you will find 3,000 square feet of deck space where you can sit, relax, and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. Even better, you will have access to a gas grill, firepit, private dock with space to moor two or three boats, and two kayaks, a paddleboat and a 12' rowboat for you to use during your visit! The trail down to the dock is a bit steep and has lots of steps (that beautiful view is about 90 vertical feet off the water) so pack an cooler and head to the dock to spend few hours enjoying the water.

With such a fabulous, secluded, lakefront location, this home is perfect for a getaway from the stress and strain of everyday life. Whether you choose to stay at this house and relax, or venture out and explore the nearby dunes, the beach, and the cities of Reedsport and North Bend, you will have an exciting variety of activities within easy reach.

Book this spectacular lakefront home now, and start looking forward to a relaxing trip surrounded by the beauty of nature!

Beautiful property

The property is beeath taking. The house is clean and beautiful.I just wish i knew that the down grade to the lake was tremendous. The only people that were able to to down to the lake were the adult men. The women and children did not go down. I still give this amazing place a 10 out of 10.

Relaxing Lakeside Retreat!

This property was amazing for a relaxing getaway with friends! Enough space and rooms for personal space, but amazing features for hanging out! We absolutely loved the hot tub and kitchen - that’s where we spent most of our time! And the dock was very well stocked, it was so much fun for a weekend! We will definitely be back!

Perfect Setting

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for easy access to the lake. I was hesitant because of the way the lake access was advertised but it was meandering and not much more than a little hike. The house has everything you need, including wood for the fire pit and had plenty of room with three levels. The only drawback was parking but the host provides excellent directions and suggestions. Was a great vacation.

Fabulous lake house

We have stayed at many vacation rentals over the years and this ranks as one of the very best. The location provides great beauty and privacy. There were just two of us but the house could easily accommodate a large group. Everything you could need is provided. The home is comfortable and welcoming. While we didn't use the boats available, we (a retired couple in our 60's) had no trouble walking down the trail to the dock. The spa was a particular favorite, entirely private but with a gorgeous view of the lake. We loved McDragonfly!

Beautiful spot ....but!

We had a great time, beautiful cabin, views, everything in order but the day I got home I noticed welts and bites all over my back and chest, butt and a few on the legs. I went to the Dr and he said it was bed bugs. I really couldn't believe it, first experience of that for me. I sent pictures of the bites to Gary and he ended up denying they were from his cabin. Well ....Gary, I'm 1000% sure, no doubt, because all the bites (about 40+ in a zigzag pattern back and chest) appeared the day I checked out and my daughter had them too, near her private area. Since I've been home, the bites have healed and faded, not one new one, so they are absolutely from your property. Bed bugs travel and I wasn't super upset since you have so many guests coming and going but it was you denying it that is upsetting. I wrote in your guest book what a beautiful place you had, ask yourself why would I then make up bites all over my body. It's your responsibility to make it right for your guests and you didn't.

Great place to stay. Well stocked, comfortable and clean. Also nice heater. As 84 years old we didn’t dare go down the very steep bank to the dock. The trail was too precarious.

Love the cabin and the location! It’s rustic and cozy and the perfect place to gather with friends for both fun and relaxation. The view of the lake is gorgeous and it’s not so far inland that if you want to pop to the coast it’s a reasonable drive. Definitely planning on coming back!

We had a great stay at this unique home. The house was absolutely stunning in every aspect. The views from every window can not be matched. The wall of windows on the main floor gave you a perfect view for miles. We had never stayed in a rental that was so well stocked. Anything you have at home was available here. Plenty of towels, plates, bowls and lots of silverware. We were only 4 people but there was easily enough for 20 people!! The walk down to the private dock is steep, but very well terraced and our 10 year old and 77 year old made it up and down fine. There were even walking sticks that our 77 year old used. The decks have tables and chairs and a great BBQ!! The foosball table was a hit with our 20 year old and we all improved our skills over the week. We would love to stay here again.

This stunning home is in an even more stunning location! When we first arrived there was a bunch of exploration and excited exclamations! From the cute stuffed bobcat to the different locations in the house to look out on the lake. My entire group felt recharged and revitalized after our atay and were very sad to leave this little slice if paradise. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

We loved our stay at the McDragonFly Cabin! The view was amazing! I could have sat inside and stared at the view the whole weekend! luckily it was pretty sunny so we checked out the private dock and and kayaks and paddled round the lake. Amazing fun. The house itself was very cozy and well appointed in the kitchen. We love, love, loved our stay here!!!

About the host

Hosted by Gary MCNichols

Host profile image
Gary and I (Mary)are parents of four son's who all enjoy playing at the lake. They helped us build this house from clearing the property to moving in the furniture. They currently are in school or have jobs out of state so we are beginning the (empty nest) next part of life. We love traveling to see the kids in different parts of the country. We still love our cabin and use it lots, but hate to see it sit empty when we are gone.

Why they chose this property

We always wanted a place where our dock would be waiting for us when we wanted to go boating or skiing. Fighting for a camping spot was such a drag. Having a place waiting for us is absolute heaven. We love camping, so we made this area so it feels like a big camp area, with the trail to the lake. You can fish off the dock or paddle boat across the lake and float back in the afternoon when the breeze is from the west. After the sun goes down build a campfire and enjoy some toasted marshmallows. Finish the day when you slide into a comfortable bed with cozy linens. The next morning is magical as the fog lifts and reveals the lake in a different light each day. Plan a beach hike, a sand dune excursion, whale watching, deep sea fishing, a trip to the casino, or a on the dock sun bathing afternoon... the options are many, our days seem few...get out there and enjoy life.

What makes this property unique

This property is only 1.5 miles to Lakeside, so it is easy enough to go pickup supplies from the local McKay's Market or head south 13 miles into Coos Bay for a full super markets.
Many of the homes on the lake are accessible by boat only, ours is road accessible. These are coastal private roads however so be careful driving on these narrow roads.

Any time of year you can entertain yourself just looking at the water below. I love to set up a puzzle by the front window and watch the birds and water fowl below. We have osprey that fish from the lake they are hilarious to watch when they are learning. We have occasionally seen otters, deer and elk swimming across the lake.
Moor your boat less than 100 feet from where you sleep. Just put in at the Coos County Tenmile Lakes Park or the North Lake RV Resort and Marina, call ahead for parking rates for your trailer. There is boat fuel available at North Lake RV Resort on north lake and Ringo's on south lake.
