Whispering Pines ~ Home & Guesthouse ~ Dunes nearby & Gated ATV parking

Whispering Pines is the perfect private retreat with a Home PLUS a Guest House under soaring pine trees. The property is fully fenced and once you shut the gate, you will feel as if you are transported into the secluded coastal Oregon forest away from it all. The home feels tucked away, private and tranquil among the pines, yet close to the conveniences of town. Natural light fills the home from its many windows with views of the sky and treetops. Any time of year, you’ll catch glimpses of the sunny blue sky, the rain drops or treetops gently swaying in the wind. Indoor and outdoor spaces converge at a large covered patio and courtyard, with large sliding doors from the living area and master bedroom. Stroll the grounds to see the little decorative treasures scattered throughout the garden. You may see the wildlife and timid deer too. The layout of the property and its many windows make it easy to keep an eye on the kids from every room in the home. Book the tiny home next door (Tiny Pines, see separate listing) so more friends and family can join you!

With each booking, Whispering Pines offers two separate living spaces on the property. The main house lower level has a master bedroom with queen bed, an ensuite half-bath and laundry, a kitchen, dining table, desk, living room fireplace and full main bath with both a shower and a clawfoot soaking tub. The upstairs loft has two single beds (that can easily be moved to make one big bed), a large sofa and a desk overlooking the main living area.

There separate guesthouse that offers a full bath (shower) and queen bed with views of the tree tops and courtyard. The guesthouse has a second story entrance only, which can be accessed via the stairs inside the main house through the deck, or using the exterior stairs (see photos). The spacious upper wooden deck with outdoor bench adjoins the two spaces and is a perfect spot to relax overlooking the property among the treetops and twinkling lights.

This versatile layout offers a secondary, separate space for friends, teens or extended family to come along and enjoy the Coast with you. Or your teens will love the independence and privacy of the guesthouse. Gather around the courtyard, firepit or kitchen - and after a long day, turn in for the night to your own private spaces. Your booking also includes access to the hobby room, where currently we store our outdoor furniture and other items like a cooler, life vests, fishing poles. There is also a fish cleaning station for guest use.

Riding ATVs directly from our property to the designated paved ATV route (and dunes) is allowed! A map is shown in our listing photos. We are 2.5 miles on pavement from Spinreel Dune Access, and from there you can enjoy riding from Spinreel to Horsfall, to Boxcar and back. Note: ATV Staging is now allowed at Tenmile Lake County Park too! It is near the Wulfy Beach sign.

Don’t forget to enjoy the one-of-a-kind staircase hand painted by children that grew up here, a lasting symbol of the love and care that was put into creating this special home!

Be advised there is one step to get to the main door. There are also interior stairs to access the second story loft and exterior stairs to access the upper deck and guest house entrance. Leaves and pine needles and wet weather can make the deck slippery. Use caution!

Welcome to the Southern Oregon Adventure Coast, where the land meets the bay, the lakes and sea, among majestic coastal sand dunes. A recreational paradise! Bring your own boat, kayaks, fishing poles or ATV/UTVs to hit the sand on the untamed dunes and experience the lakes, streams and rivers that converge here. Visit the nearby marina for boat rentals or Spinreel Dune Rentals & Tours to hit the sand and winding trails to the ocean!

Nearby lake, river and stream fishing, boating, hiking, clam digging, crabbing, surfing, and riding ATV’s are just a few ways to enjoy the outdoors here. ATV dune access right from this property! Rental crab rings are available at many RV parks, other lodging facilities, and tackle and marine supply stores. Minutes to boat rentals, kayak and boat launches, restaurants, gas station and grocery store.

The property is fully fenced, allowing for privacy. We prefer the front gate remain closed to keep the deer and wildlife from grazing on the plantings that make property so secluded and special. Especially overnight and when leaving or staying for extended periods.

Generally speaking, we have a long gated driveway. There is room for ATVs and most open trailers within our private parking area just inside the gate. The driveway is 60 feet deep to the gate. It can be a little challenging to navigate trailers as the gate is 11 feet wide and the driveway is bordered by large trees. Trailers must be backed in or backed out. There is a utility pole on the street as well. There is no room to turn vehicles around on the property.

There is room for two trucks side by side in width without trailers. We have accommodated as many as 5 cars at one time. We have also seen two trucks side by side with open trailers attached. The limiting factor is the width of the driveway, but it’s doable. There is street parking, but it is limited because this property is on a cul-de-sac.
