The property is very cool. Very private. Our only regret is that we were only able to stay for one night. Didn’t get a chance to enjoy the outdoor amenities.
The setting is top notch and wonderful. You can see Florence city lights and hear some of the hustle and bustle of small town life. The property is on the boundary of a local state park- Lots of mushrooms everywhere. Absolutely wonderful location. The only detractor is that the downstairs mattress was the only one soft enough to catch some intermittent sleep. This place would be much better with comfortable bedding/matresses. The steep driveway would be difficult for some vehicles.
Lovely in woods older decor but charming and well kept property. Somebody left their dog poo in the yard so we picked it up. A sogn might help others to be respectful?
Start with the good. Comfortable older coastal home. Nice location close to sand dunes and town. The driveway access is steep as stated in other reviews but was not a problem for us. The house is very private. Now for the not so good. The house had an off putting smell that required airing out. Dead bolt did not work. Owner/ manager has still not responded any questions through the VRBO ap. We had a booking error and after four attempts through the app with no response and multiple phone call attempts with a variety of answers from full refund to partial refund to just the cleaning fee we just wrote off the second night that we never stayed, double cleaning fee and all. When a property manager lists through VRBO they should respond to their customers through the messaging app. Any response would be better than none at all. I would give 0 stars on communication. If you book, beware there is no communication.
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 heaters were on (no thermostat to control them) when we arrived and the house was very warm. We manually turned off every floor heater in the house but we could not cool the house to make it comfortable for sleeping by opening windows because most windows did not have screens and the mosquitoes and moths were active.
Mattresses seemed to be very old, like if you stayed with your grandmother on a fixed income. Wi-Fi password did not work for any of us but the TV was on the WiFi so it was available for entertainment.
The house is in a gorgeous setting and it is roomy. Five of us (everyone over 14) did not feel cramped at all. There are several decks and very large yard with a fire pit that was stocked with wood. You can see city lights from the deck and living room. It is stocked with ample places to sit and relax or socialize. We used the fridge and the microwave with no issues. We used the washer and dryer (saved the dryer for the morning, due to the heat it would add to the house), which was convenient.
If the house had not been sweltering, we probably would not have minded the mattresses, but sleep was difficult the night we were there.
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!
Loved the forest setting! So fun for the kids (8, 4, 2). Couldn’t find kids dinnerware so we used the ceramic or paper plates. Not a lot of other toddler friendly activities amongst the board games and puzzles, but we didn’t spend a lot of time at the house. Roku TV allowed us to login to all our apps for streaming. Location was so convenient to go run to the grocery store and drive to various tourist spots. We didn’t have any trouble getting up the hill with our Toyota Sienna. The house was very clean upon arrival. So cozy and welcoming! Couldn’t find a hatchet and host didn’t respond to our message (although he had called when we got into town) so we just used sticks and logs that were easy to pull apart. Bathroom door was a little difficult to open and close. Wonderful experience. We may stay there again!! Magical magical memories.

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 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.
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.
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.
Spent a relaxing evening on our way down the coast. The cabin is charming and clean and so cozy! Our pup loved chasing her ball on the lawn and roaming around in the woods behind. Wished we had a longer stay here so we could have used the fire pit!
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.
