About this property

OTTER COVE A PRIVATE COZY LAKE FRONT HOME ON GARRISON LAKE PORT ORFORD OREGON

OTTER COVE is a 3 bedroom 1 bath lake front home with end of the road privacy. Knotty pine walls, wood floors, view windows all along the lake side. OTTER COVE sits 20 feet from the lake with trout fishing (stocked lake)with the lake on two sides. Port Orford is a small town of about 1500 and is the oldest town site on the southern Oregon Coast and is the the most westerly town in the lower 48 states. The ocean is about 1500 feet to the west and is easy access by car.
OTTER COVE sleeps 8 and has a queen in the large master bedroom, 2 fulls or doubles in the 2nd bedroom and 2 twin TRUNDLE in the 3rd bedroom. Cable TV, WIFI, PELLET stove for heat, Gas BBQ. Newly remodeled kitchen and dining room and new laundry room summer of 2021. New living room carpeting spring 2021. Remodeling in progress.
A normal day is to have some deer drop over to eat on the lawn, otters playing in the lake or on the dock or grass, ducks, geese, loons and some turtles a few Ospreys getting their lunch and even a bald eagle or two. You might see the foxes walk by or the local Bobcat. The crows will entertain you and steal anything they can outside. No close neighbors and a great view of our small arm of the lake and great fishing for trout and pike. OTTER COVE is not fancy but loved for it's cozy charm.

The host is very available and responsive.With the picture windows overlooking the lake - we had fun watching the squalls move across the water. The kingfisher was zipping around the cove. A very comfortablehouse for gray winter days. And then, a windless glassy lake was perfect for kayaking.

Second visit this year! See our review from Spring 2025 about this home-away-from-home. Private, convenient, quiet...who knew lakefront would be so much more relaxing than oceanfront. Use Google maps to locate the nearby beach, the easy Port Orford Heads hikes with fabulous views, and Ray's Market that sells many of the food items you'd find in the city. Our 4 star rating reflects only the age of this family home... you'll have a 5 star experience!

This home was so lovely. It checked all the boxes of my desire for a stay in a cottage on a lake. It was quiet and serene, otters playing, herons doing flybys, deer swimming across the cove. The stars at night were gorgeous. The views though the bay windows were stunning. This house is fully supplied (kitchen, towels and linens). The beds comfy. We had an issue that was dealt with promptly. The property manager was great to work with. My husband and I hope to return every year.

A lovely stay at a lovely location

I have stayed at this rental a few times now and it never disappoints. The views from the house are spectacular. The location is close to town but feels like it is away from it all. The beds are comfy. I highly recommend this place!

We had a nice cozy stay at the Otter Cove house. It was windy and rainy a few days but we enjoyed watching the lake and relaxing for our 5 night stay. I know my family would enjoy coming back sometime in the summer.

Wonderful location, quiet cove and beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed the comfortable home that had plenty of space, even for the 7 of us. We would love to return and relax at Otter Cove in the near future.

Peaceful and relaxing stay

Overall, a nice and relaxing stay. Nice views looking across the lake. Location was very private and just a short drive into town to the beach. The water in the lake at the end of August was pretty low, but the fishing is probably good when the lake is deeper and cooler in the spring. Nice spacious living room and fast and reliable Internet.
