About this property

OTTER COVE A PRIVATE COZY LAKE FRONT HOME ON GARRISON LAKE PORT ORFORD OREGON

OTTER COVE is a 3 bedroom 1 bath lake front home with end of the road privacy. Knotty pine walls, wood floors, view windows all along the lake side. OTTER COVE sits 20 feet from the lake with trout fishing (stocked lake)with the lake on two sides. Port Orford is a small town of about 1500 and is the oldest town site on the southern Oregon Coast and is the the most westerly town in the lower 48 states. The ocean is about 1500 feet to the west and is easy access by car.
OTTER COVE sleeps 8 and has a queen in the large master bedroom, 2 fulls or doubles in the 2nd bedroom and 2 twin TRUNDLE in the 3rd bedroom. Cable TV, WIFI, PELLET stove for heat, Gas BBQ. Newly remodeled kitchen and dining room and new laundry room summer of 2021. New living room carpeting spring 2021. Remodeling in progress.
A normal day is to have some deer drop over to eat on the lawn, otters playing in the lake or on the dock or grass, ducks, geese, loons and some turtles a few Ospreys getting their lunch and even a bald eagle or two. You might see the foxes walk by or the local Bobcat. The crows will entertain you and steal anything they can outside. No close neighbors and a great view of our small arm of the lake and great fishing for trout and pike. OTTER COVE is not fancy but loved for it's cozy charm.
Come see what everyone loves about OTTER COVE.

Otter Cove house

We had a nice cozy stay at the Otter Cove house. It was windy and rainy a few days but we enjoyed watching the lake and relaxing for our 5 night stay. I know my family would enjoy coming back sometime in the summer.

A lovely stay at a lovely location

I have stayed at this rental a few times now and it never disappoints. The views from the house are spectacular. The location is close to town but feels like it is away from it all. The beds are comfy. I highly recommend this place!

Peaceful and relaxing stay

Overall, a nice and relaxing stay. Nice views looking across the lake. Location was very private and just a short drive into town to the beach. The water in the lake at the end of August was pretty low, but the fishing is probably good when the lake is deeper and cooler in the spring. Nice spacious living room and fast and reliable Internet.

Location, location, location!!!!

This home is private, quiet, and perfect for a quick family trip. The Pros, the lake is the star of the show here, the views are spectacular, the weather is beautiful in June and the rooms are good sized. Now the cons, The home defiantly needs a good cleaning, we ended up sweeping the bedrooms since the dust and dirt was sticking to our feet. The exterior of the home needs some love/ maintenance, there was dust and cobwebs in the rooms/ on the exterior of the home. Overall would recommend just wish it was cleaner.

Beautiful property

The property was very beautiful. Bedrooms needed to be cleaned, we cleaned under the beds and knocked down the spider webs before we could sleep. Several spiders were vacuumed up. Furniture needed to be upgraded, in my opinion. Front porch light was hanging by a wire, host was notified. Enjoyed our stay very much!

Cozy in a great location

This house could not be in a better location. You are right next to the lake which is perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. We saw so much wildlife in the cove in which the house is situated It is, also, just a short drive or walk to the beach. The house is a rustic cabin with comfy furniture and large bedrooms. If you want a quiet and cozy vacation this is a great house for you.

Garrison Lake, serenity.

The bay windows in the bedroom, living room and kitchen allowed us a prime view of the lake, a few feet from the house. Each had sitting cushions from which you could read and enjoy the morning sun. We watched deer, raccoons, golden mantled ground squirrels and myriad birds including osprey. This home is definitely a getaway--the pace of life here is undeni

LOVED THIS PLACE

This place was perfect for us. So perfect we decided to change our wedding location from Cape Blanco to here! Beautiful views of the lake! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The pellet stove kept the place warm! Very comfortable beds and couches. We hope to return again! The only negative was the dock was broken. Otherwise the dogs had a blast!

Wonderful relaxing lakeside property

This was our third time in this home, and every visit was a treat. The property is beautiful and peaceful, and fishing and boating on the lake are very relaxing. The home is very comfortable and has been outfitted with everything a family of many generations could ask for in the way of entertainment. An additional bonus is that it is dog-friendly, which is one of our primary requirements for rental homes. We couldn't ask for more!

Christmas getaway

My husband and I took our children as a surprise the morning after Christmas to the ocean. Being right next to the lake was a bonus. We brought fishing poles and they caught some! The house was very homey and comfortable sleeping my family easily. The kitchen was well stocked so we could prepare meals with ease. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
