We really enjoyed the house. There was plenty of room for eight people to spread out and settle in comfortably. Everyone loved the well stocked kitchen and the view as well. We were close to Florence, the beach, and lake Mercer where we rented a pontoon boat one afternoon while there.
The property was as listed. Everything was well labeled and easy to find. Everything was clean and nicely organized. I would definitely recommend this property for a nice family stay.
The property was clean, well organized (all drawers and cabinets were even labeled, making everything easy to find around the house), and it was a unique and cozy. We wished we had booked another night!
It was a beautiful house Very clean and a gorgeous view. We were not at the house a lot, but when we were, it was pretty comfortable. It was a bit warm at times. We were glad there were some fans and windows that opened. We loved how everything was labeled and very nice. We were there for a wedding so having the use of the garage was great because I still was making decorations. We loved the games and the big table. The beds were comfortable. It slept all 10 of us very well. It was great!
Spectacular views! Spacious! Wonderfully labeled! Welcoming! We had cousins from Connecticut, Michigan and Oregon gather over the time of our visit and everyone was impressed.
Beautiful property, unique and fun home to stay in!
We loved our stay at this cool house. Worked out great for our group of four adults and four kids (ages 2-12). It was very cool to be surrounded by windows and the woods! Only 15 minutes from the ocean. We had a fun time riding buggies on the dunes while we were there. My son loved sleeping in the round room up top. Thanks for the nice stay!Only suggestions are a fan for the double bed room (since you can't open the window) and a few more kid friendly cups.
Pleasantly surprised! Great house, very interesting property. We will definitely be coming back! Amazing views all the way around the property. Definitely downplayed how awesome this house is on their ex explanation on VRBO.
This property had lots of space for our whole family including 4 bedrooms, roomy kitchen, large dining and living room and our favorite place - the crows nest. The crow's nest had great views of the woodsy surrounding area and was great for morning coffee gatherings and pre-dinner drink times. Large windows in the entire living area made you feel like you were right there in the woods!
Stunning panoramic view, hundreds of feet above the surrounding terrain. Beautiful Lake Mercer at base of the hill with pontoon rentals. We have stayed twice and would like to return. Overall, a wonderful place.
We loved staying at this property. Absolutely beautiful views, went paddle boarding at a little lake nearby, spent time at the beach, and the house had everything we needed. Very fun for the kids.
The house was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone! Well stocked. Very woodsy yet close to town. The kids loved the crows nest! I would definitely open the bottom floor as a game room! Pet friendly! We will be back!
My family of 7 and dog stayed here. It has lots of space for everyone. It was in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The trails around the home were fun for the kids and pets. It was a great location for all of our activities!
We can't say nice enough things about our stay - the view and surrounding property are incredible, the host was so helpful and responsive, the house is unique, warm and welcoming and had everything you need for cozy delightful times, and there is so much to do in the area. We left planning our next stay!
The house is great. The inside was very clean and well stocked with towels, cleaning products and even shower supplies. Water pressure was great and hot water so almost instant. Great points. There were a few things that if I own it and was renting it out I would do better. The big windows in the living and kitchen area are so great but they were very dirty and had spider webs all over them. (they had been there for awhile). We sprayed the windows with the hose, removed must of the spiders and webs but the windows were still dirty. I would trim some of the trees, before long there will not be a view to the ocean. The whole outside of the house needs power washed, spiders everywhere. The deck is nice but could not use because of the spiders and it needs hosed down. Off the deck was a table and chairs but the dead weeds were so tall you could not use it. The beds were uncomfortable and need replaced, living room furniture is also uncomfortable, we spent most of our time setting at the dining table. TV should be in the living area so the whole family can watch together. TV should be able to get local news stations. Washer doesn't get all the soap rinsed out so we had to rinse and spin twice. We did have a good time staying there but if we could have seen out the windows better and not see spiders while eating, and spent time in the living room as a family and slept better it would have been the best place ever!!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed this property and appreciated the fantastic views and quiet location. The house was well maintained and very clean.

One of 6 family members to be lucky enough to have inherited this beautiful property. I teach Scuba in Eugene but regularly take students to Florence and I never get sick of visiting.
Why they chose this property
Hand built by my grandfather for 7 years, the house is incredibly unique and gives you a quiet oasis close to town and the trails.
What makes this property unique
A Crow’s nest with 360 degrees of windows to view the dunes and beach. Also great for stargazing at night.
