About this property

Overlooking Old Town yet In a Secluded Forest Setting

This unique property sits in a secluded forest setting high above Old Town and the Siuslaw River bridge. It offers complete privacy yet is just a short walk to the shops, restaurants, harbor, and other attractions of Old Town. Go down a forest path to arrive at the high dunes overlooking the Siuslaw River, Florence, and the Ocean. You do have to climb the dunes, which is challenging.

The house comes with two bedrooms upstairs with an adjoining deck that overlooks the forest and a gives you a peek at Old Town; there is another bedroom downstairs. All beds are Queen size. The paneled great room has multiple view windows and comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a pellet stove. There is high speed internet and a large TV in the living room area. There is a laundry area with a washer and dryer. A deck with outside seating and a gas barbeque is located off the great room. There is a lawn with a great big fire pit surrounded by log benches and plenty of firewood. Surrounding it all is the virgin forest.

We had an amazing time in Florence, OR!!!Our band played at the Laughing Crab, which was packed with locals who were laughing and singing along while they ate dinner and lifted a glass or two. Then we arrived back at this forest retreat, where we roasted sausage dogs over an open fire. It was like a beautiful camping experience... except that we got to go in and take a shower and sleep in a comfortable bed!

Lovely coastal retreat

Very nice house tucked in woodland that feels like a remote retreat but is just outside Florence. Living room and outdoor spaces are very peaceful surrounded by woodland and there's a lot of effort to make guests comfortable throughout.

secluded cabin right outside Florence

A perfect location in a small, secluded forest area, but just a few minutes walk or drive from Old Town Florence.The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable with a rustic feel, but nice amenities. There was plenty of firewood available for nighttime campfires in the firepit.The road up to the cabin can be a tad daunting, but in the end, we were ok with a standard 2WD Jetta.

The check in was super easy, the kitchen was clean, beds comfortable. The house was charming. The only odd thing was the lack of a light bulb, and the light by the bedside downstairs wasn’t plugged in. Two little things. Our 3 yr. Old granddaughter loved the house, enjoyed walking into the forest and garden! Thank-you! Best Birthday ever!

The surrounding property, location, and outdoor amenities (deck, fire pit) were outstanding. The house is older and more significantly had a strong odor when we first arrived. We were able to air it out, but that was not a great first impression. Regardless, the host was very friendly and communicative.

Just as Advertised

Super clean place. Checkin was easy. Only issue we had was not having the right password for the WiFi. Initial instructions for checkin were out of date but owners reached out before stay to provide updated info. Tucked back in the woods a bit, and driveway is a bit steep but quiet, peaceful location.

Great location

The location is great, but the driveway is a little rough. The house was not clean. There was dog food on the floor, a tooth pick left on the floor, the toiletries were wet and partially used. No wash cloths and there was sand in the upstairs bed. The deadbolt won't lock, the windows didn't have screens, the TV wouldn't turn on and the host was completely unresponsive. We only stayed for one of our booked nights.

The house is fine and the location is good but it was inaccessible to us. The listing does not disclose that the house is on top of a very steep, poorly maintained dirt road. The road was so sandy that our Subaru got stuck and required a tow. We cut our stay short. Owner suggested that we park at the bottom of the hill and walk up. That was not a realistic solution as we were traveling with small children. Buyer beware.
