Had an incredible stay at the Bandon Bear Cottage. The location is ideal—tucked away on a beautiful, quiet 1.5-acre wooded lot that gives you complete privacy, while still being just a quick 5-minute drive into Old Town Bandon.The layout of the 3-bedroom house is fantastic. The California King in the master bedroom was exceptionally comfortable, and the blackout curtains are a huge plus for actually getting some solid rest. The house was spotless, spacious, and easily accommodated everyone.It served as the perfect base camp for exploring the southern coast. We spent our days checking out the local shops and great restaurants in town, and making the drive to explore Secret Beach. Coming back to the cottage to wind down was the best part. We spent our mornings on the front patio with a cup of coffee and wrapped up our days on the large back deck, soaking in the crisp coastal air.The host, Marissa, was highly communicative and the self-check-in was a breeze. Flawless coastal retreat—we will absolutely be back!

We had 4 adults and two active young children along with permission to bring our two dogs. The home was perfect for what we needed; very kid friendly and dog friendly as well, with the large kennel in the back. The host welcomed us with generous treat baskets both for humans and dogs. We are an active outdoor family, and the sites we planned to visit were an easy drive to get to, as was the actual town of Bandon. We loved everything we were able to do away from the home during our four night visit, and enjoyed the patios and the large yard when back from our daytime excursions. We made the trip to Shore Acres but were disappointed to find that at the time they were not allowing dogs due to some of the vegetation which could be harmful. Despite this we were able to find another beautiful spot recommended by the person at the entrance station. I agree with my granddaughter - "this trip was the best"!!

Wonderful Little Place

We had such a good time getting together with our son and his family. Four adults and two kids, and the Bear Cottage was just right for us. Easy to get to the local attractions. The owners take extra steps to making your visit a great one. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay and play in Bandon.

Great Weekend Getaway

We were just looking for a place for a weekend getaway for my husband's birthday. Bear Cottage was fabulous. Clean, plenty of room, nice location. Host was very easy to communicate with and made sure everything went well for our family. I would highly recommend a stay here. Especially if you love bears as much as I do!

Comfortable and close to everything

A friend and I stayed at the Bear Cottage for two nights for a weekend getaway to Bandon. The house was really comfortable and well-stocked with everything we needed. It was also close to everything--the beaches, downtown, and the main road in and out of town. Marissa was an excellent host and very responsive. I'd stay here again!

The Bandon Bear Cottage was cozy and full of supplies to make the stay comfortable and not have to travel with supplies. The yards are expansive and perfect for outdoor play. the little outdoor play house allowed hours of creative play for little ones. Very clean home! The owners are prompt in answering questions and gave us a little history of their ownership of the home. Delightful people to meet.

Perfect after Christmas relaxation

We arrived the day after Christmas (Thursday) and had to leave on Sunday. It was so lovely and cozy. Listening to the rain every night in bed was nice. The twin beds were kinda squeaky but the queen and king beds were comfy. The couches were soft and the kitchen was adequately stocked for us.

Great place for a family stay

Although it was just the two of us staying, we had our daughter and her wife come over from where they were camped. The owner also allowed them to bring their dogs to a fenced area in the yard. They were very communicative and helpful. This place is perfect for a large family even though we didn’t need the space. Perfect for loading and unloading the car.

Comfy, Great Location with Wonderful Hosts

The home was the perfect size for 4 adults and 2 children with an easy comfortable floor plan. The property is kid friendly with a cute playhouse outback and the home is well stocked with books, toys and dvds. The location is really good, close to the beach and town but yet out just enough to have a relaxing country feel. The hosts were kind enough to lend us their charcoal bbq so we didn't have to bring one. There were some nice extra touches of a handwritten card, goodie basket and chocolates on the pillows. I would stay here again and recommend it to others :)

Nice place, but broken mattress

First, the "elephant in the room" was the king-sized bed in the primary bedroom. It was broken; when laying on it, there was a hump in the middle and the sides were flat. My wife could only stand to lie in it for 10 seconds. Unfortunately, this was the main reason we chose Bandon Bear Cottage as there was a dearth of other options with a king-sized bed in the area. We ended up staying in the second bedroom (queen) for our stay. Other than that, the house was a delight. The area was quiet at night, even Hwy 101 was far enough away from the house so that traffic noise was almost unnoticeable. It was a good "home base" for us to explore the Southern Oregon Coast. The bear themed decorations weren't overdone and provided a nice game to count all the instances of bears one could see in the house. Though we didn't use them, the kitchen had all the right pots and pans and cooking utensils. (We did worry about scratching the floor moving in and out from the dining table.) The video library was rather eclectic and the couch and love seat were comfortable and well placed for TV viewing by the whole family. The grounds were lovely and well-tended. If we hadn't had such bad weather during our stay, we wished we could have sat outside.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Good Day,
My name is Marissa and I was born and raised throughout California. For almost three decades, I have been visiting and falling more and more in love with the Oregon Coast. Six years ago, I introduced my husband to Bandon and the rest is history! We searched for over a year for our "perfect vacation getaway" from the hustle and bustle of California. Although our California home is located over 500 miles from Bandon Bear Cottage, that doesn't stop us from making the trek with our dogs & small children often. We hope you love our vacation home and Bandon, Oregon, just as much as we do!
