Below the Falls lodge is the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, and it's easy to unwind in this beautiful lodge. Shane, the owner, gives excellent directions and recommendations for the Coos Bay area.
The lodge itself is private and gorgeous, with comfy furniture, elements of nature throughout, and nestled right next to a creek. The beds are suspended by rope, which made me a little dizzy at first, but I quickly grew to love the gentle sway lulling me to sleep.
There's a sauna on site, though a lot of the words on the knobs are rubbed off, so you have to be creative figuring out how to use it (wi-fi+picture+ChatGPT helped us get there easily enough). Lots of outdoor seating, and a firepit perfect for s'mores under the stars.
The kitchen is stocked with any pot, pan, or gizmo you'll need. A lot of basic condiments and tools on property as well. Definitely stock up on food in Coos Bay before you go as there are no grocery stores close by.
Washer and dryer, with soap, available in the garage.
The drive is mostly paved, except for the last few miles are on gravel. Just take it slow and know you're going in the right direction.
A relaxing place to spend time with family; would certainly come again.
