Dunecastle - Private Setting and Coastal Views (no direct dune access)

"The view from the deck was outstanding. Very close to the dunes. BEAUTIFUL house. Will stay again. Will recommend to everyone who wants to come to North Bend with a big group!" - Denice, Aug 2020

Experience the seclusion and serenity of this large house surrounded by nature. It is in a quiet, private location with views of a lake, a dune, and the ocean. You will not have to leave the house to enjoy the Oregon Coast view, but you must drive to the dunes or the beach by car or on the highway. This house is very special, and we ask all guests to stay with care.

This is a custom-built house from the 1980s. Some of the redwood timbers used to build the house were from an old mill in Northern California. To access the house, there is a half-mile of gravel road off Highway 101. The gravel road may have potholes or children playing, so drive slowly. There is no direct access to the dunes. You have to trailer your OHVs to a nearby staging area.

Guests will have access to the entire house, except for no access to the garages or outbuildings. Please respect the 2 neighbors who also live along the road and do not enter their private property.

The shower in the master bathroom has a large window. This can make guests nervous, but the window is on the back side of the house with a view of the dunes and ocean. It is located on a secluded part of the deck that only your guests can access.

Living with wildlife: Small bats roost in the cedar siding in spring and summer. We recommend closing windows and doors without screens at night to keep them outside. If a bat gets in the house, stay calm. It doesn't want to be in the house and will fly around looking for an escape. It will tuck itself into the vaulted ceilings in the loft. Let us know if this happens, but due to the height of the ceilings, there are no guarantees we can remove the bat.

We live nearby, so we are a call away if you need us. Otherwise, you will have your privacy.
