About this property

Annie's Cottage, Quiet Getaway, Peaceful Waterfall

This 1908 cottage, rebuilt in 2005 after fire destroyed the top floor, is a cozy getaway nestled in the coastal town where Annie's grandfather was, long ago, the Mayor and mill worker on the bay. It's the perfect spot for the family vacation, writer's/artist's hangout or business trip.

From Annie's Cottage, the beach is as close as a few blocks or a short drive to the active fishing village of Charleston and the business meeting is less than a 15 minute drive no matter which direction you go in Coos Bay or North Bend, yet you have the feeling the moment you step out of the car and stroll up the stone path and hear the soothing sound of the water fall, that all the tensions of your active every day life are just no where to be found.

A day playing in the sand dunes or at the beach or taking a hike along the coast is perfectly ended by a soak in the jacuzzi tub and then lean back in the recliner overlooking the bay to watch the sunset and the occasional ship go by. Our non commercial, relaxing, authentic little town will invite you back again and again to forget there ever was a freeway, a long line to stand in or a phone ringing off the hook.

Bij aankomst schrokken we van de buitenkant en de entree. Hoewel het er op de foto’s fris uitziet, blijkt de huidige staat verre van dat.Het huis zelf is comfortabel, netjes en goed uitgerust. Het bed slaapt fijn en er is voldoende ruimte.Een leuk terrasje buiten en een flinke verfbeurt zou het huis in totaliteit zoveel goed doen!

Thank you, we are happy you were comfortable for your over night stay. The brick drive and walkway allows access at the base of the waterfall where most find it very peaceful. The fence is definitely ready for a fresh coat of paint. We have put most of our efforts in keeping the inside very accommodating and comfortable, the paint is on our list. Thank you for your stay!

Relaxing One Nighter

We took a jacuzzi bath & then watched a Fred Astaire & Audrey Hepburn video on a cozy couch. Bed was comfy & good towels. We had our morning coffee upstairs in the recliners watching many robins in a tree. Be sure to read the paperwork sent as we did NOT hence we got confused of where to park & enter. The house was very clean but the tub needed a good wipe down. Overall a wonderful stay! Thank you, Annie

It is wonderful that your visit refreshed you. We are very sorry for anything that may have not been thoroughly wiped in the tub, that would be highly unusual. The tub is filled and the jets run with bleach and detergent between each guest. We normally do a final walk through after everything is done to catch imperfections and tidy up any missed details. Guests are welcome to alert us of any details that need attention when they arrive. Thank you so much for your stay.

45th wedding anniversary @ Annies Cottage.

Annies Cottage was centrally located in the Coos Bay area, close to the bayfront, restaurants, shops and Cape Arago!The cottage was beautifully decorated. Furniture/Bed were very comfortable, and the sitting room upstairs with bayview is wonderful. Thank You Annie & Paul! we hope to see you again soon!

Unpleasant

After checking in we sent an email to both Annie & Paul letting them no we were not staying at the cottage and that it will not need to be cleaned. The pictures for this rental need to be updated as they do not represent the condition of the property. There were ants all over the kitchen on the counters, in the sink on the walls and in the window sills. The bathroom windows had mold and the overall experience was not acceptable. We did not get a response back to our email letting them know that the property needs to be cleaned. We wished them a Happy Thanksgiving and had to go get a hotel. Hopefully they will do something on their end to make it right. Janet & Dan

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Dec, 2024
This was, over all, a disheartening experience, and we are very sorry that Janet & Dan found the Cottage unacceptable. We received their message in Vrbo’s messaging system at 7:08 pm on the day they arrived, and saw it, and responded, at 8:32pm. We sent a few more messages, one that evening and one the next day, but did not hear back until the day after Thanksgiving. I assume that they were not seeing our replies, and Vrbo showed they had reviewed us before they replied. Once we were in communication, we had pleasant interaction to resolve their concerns. We were very relieved that when we arrived to check the Cottage, we did not see live ants, and it was, as they said, clean. I have no doubt they saw a few ants that had not succumbed to treatment. There is no mold, but yes, I had not cleaned the last storm out of the vinyl window tracks upstairs. That was my oversight. In a very short time during Winter, tiny patches of moss even appear. A complete mystery to us. The outdoor pictures show annual flowers that we just weren’t able to keep up with, but at various times of year, there are a variety of perennials, and humming birds love them. Inside of the Cottage is very close to how the pictures are, with a few pieces added and a newly painted mural of a Rhododendron filled forest around the bunk beds. Guests often say that things are well maintained. Again, I’m very sorry for Janet and Dan’s negative experience here, and wish them well going forward. ~Annie

Weekend Getaway

Annie's Cottage is a cute little house. It is cutely decorated and cery clean. It is not far out of the way and is only about 12 minutes to downtown. I would definitely recommend this place to any friend thinking of coming down to the Coos Bay area.

Comfortable and Convenient

Just a quick overnight rest stop for us before a long drive. The cottage was clean and comfortable with nice touches...chocolates on the pillows and quality shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion in the bath, beautiful flowers and yard with flocks of cedar waxwings! The owners were responsive to our phone calls and pleasant to talk with. Loved Annie's photographs gracing the walls. Thank you Annie and Paul.

Thank you so much for sharing the things you enjoyed at the Cottage with us! My photos are available on various products on Redbubble. One of these days I’ll figure out how to share that information, LOL. I really enjoy a little amateur photography on the side, and have a dream of using my hobbies in the form of Annie’s Cottage Creations. Someday :-)

Oregon Coast tour

Our family stayed at Annie’s Cottage while visiting our son who is working as a caddy at Bandon Dunes. The cottage was a perfect spot for us after a busy day touring the beautiful coast. The sound is the waterfall welcomes you as you walk up the sidewalk. Loved the cozy feel of the cottage with plenty of blankets. Beds were comfortable & kitchen was very well stocked. A great place to stay. Thank you for sharing!

About the host

Hosted by Annie Comfort

Host profile image
Paul and Annie Comfort share a love for this little, authentic coastal community. Each have deep roots in the community and have participated in local theater and music. Paul bought the home that is now Annie's Cottage over 20 years ago with hopes of entertaining friends there. A bachelor for many years, he was a customer of Annie's when she was a sales clerk in the 1970's & 80's at a local Radio Shack. He worked in marine electronics in the nearby fishing village of Charleston and later was the technical director at a local theater. Annie moved away after college and, after the death of her first husband, returned to Coos Bay where they met again and fell in love after working on a music project together. After fire destroyed the top floor of the Cottage, they were wed and rebuilt the Cottage in 2004 with the dream of sharing it with people just like them who just need a peaceful getaway from time to time.

Why they chose this property

We've always loved the Oregon coast, and the Coos Bay area is full of unspoiled beauty. The non-commercialized beaches, dunes and forests are exquisite. The air is fresh and clean, and the temperatures are always moderate.

What makes this property unique

From the minute you begin your walk up the path to the front door, there is a peace about the Cottage. It is a resting place, a place to truly kick back and take it easy. From the easy chairs overlooking the bay on the top floor, you can watch ships and fishing boats and an occasional barge go by. Once in awhile a tall ship can be seen, such as the Lady Washington. Whether it's sitting on the rocks of the waterfall in the front yard and watching the neighborhood birds play in the water or relaxing in the jacuzzi tub upstairs, it is a true getaway, a destination.
