Great place for families!

What a wonderful place to stay. Property was quiet and isolated allowing for kids to enjoy the outdoor space. Had everything that you could want in a stay on the coast. Had a nice trail with a guide book and posted stopping points. Wildlife was everywhere and large decks in front and back for viewing. Short drive to state beaches and close to town.

Family Gathering

This is an amazing property. We have stayed at many different properties from Cannon Beach to Netarts area. This is the nicest and best equipped home we have had the pleasure of staying in. It is great for family get togethers. The kitchen is very well stocked and ready to cook for a family. The beds were wonderful. The yard is amazing, lots of birds, rabbits, and two deer. This is a very quiet, private property.

Amazing stay for a our family!

Our family, ranging from age 2 to 75, loved staying in this home SO much. Jim was a responsive and respectful communicator, the house layout was perfect, the space was comfortable, the outdoor trails were fun for all, and the walls were insulated perfectly so everyone could get good sleep regardless of noise. Would absolutely love to bring our family back again!

Relaxation at the end of the school year

Beautiful home in an amazing setting. This our second year of celebrating the end of another school year at this house. It’s perfect for our five couple group, no one has to sleep in bunk beds or couch. Comfortable large beds for everyone in private rooms. Close access to great outdoor areas as well. Looking forward to coming back again.

Great Escape in Nature

We loved staying at Whiskey Creek Retreat! Plenty of room for the 14 of us. James and Greg, the property manager, was great at communicating and answering questions I had about the area. We loved having the forest right in the back yard with a trail. Plenty of room for the kids to play outside. We spent the day at Rockaway beach shopping and playing at the beach.

Home is very nice and the location is the perfect"away from the crowds". Deer and wild rabbits in the yard. Only puzzling thing was how dirty pans and dinner plates got put away in the cupboards.

Lovely stay

The grounds of the property are even more beautiful than the pictures convey, so thank you for taking the time to do such thoughtful landscaping. The house is laid out really well, spacious, and inviting. Cozy fireplaces and a thoughtful kitchen made the house outstanding. Great deck, ample parking, great storage. Internet connectivity was an issue, though the property owner made an attempt to fix it. If you don't need internet, perfect property. My family would happily stay here again.

Friends & Family

Wow - what an amazing property. We had a great time. Ten of us stayed four nights with others coming for a night. This was the most stocked house we have ever stayed at, which to say we over packed. The 2nd fridge and additional tables and chairs came in handy as we set up game tables in the garage and kept the fun going all weekend. We would definitely stay again. Reading the past reviews, some things we brought along came in handy, mattress pads. We bought some cheap ones on Amazon worth the buy as the beds are firm. We did a lot of outdoor games and the mosquitoes do enjoy the thick grass and wonder landscape, so bring bug spray. Other than that everything else you might have forgotten and/or want to do is 15 minutes away in Netarts or Tillamook. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Beautiful property but dirty home

This home is located in a beautiful location near Netarts Bay. The grounds are well maintained with two small trails and a fun ladder ball court. 10 minute drive to the beach and about 20 minutes to the Tillamook cheese factory. Unfortunately, it appears the bathrooms, toilets, showers, and sinks have not been cleaned in between tenants. We found dried shampoo on the shower floor, mildew, and mold along the grout of the showers and sinks. I did notify the property owner and they said it has been hard for them to get good help with cleaning it. Given the price for this property I would have expected it to be clean. Overall it's a great property, but for the price I expected it to be clean.

Great home with everything you could need

The layout of this home was very accommodating to everyone. The children enjoyed exploring outdoors. Everything we needed for cooking was available. The only improvement we could suggest is to invest in new mattresses, especially the master bed. Some people opted to sleep on the foam matts on the floor because they were more comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Fazio

Host profile image
Steve Matiaco of Forest Hills Builders worked in the Forest Grove area and on the coast for twelve years. When he came across this property, the view was what caught his eye. He purchased the property, cleared a portion of it and carefully constructed the home where it would capture the panoramic view of Netarts Bay and the surrounding mountains. In 2013, Jim & Dawn Fazio of Moscow, Idaho, joined Steve as partners and in 2015 became its managers with family friend Greg Sands as the local representative. All love and enjoy the peaceful setting, panoramic views and nearby coastal features.

Why they chose this property

The perfect setting for nature lovers and family activities. Unrivaled as a quiet, peaceful location with large lawn space. Completely private. Special off-season rates for individuals or couples that are not published. Contact owner for information. Excellent parks and beaches within a few miles in both directions.

What makes this property unique

If you are a first-time visitor, you will especially appreciate the notebook in the kitchen. It shares some of the owners' favorite places to visit nearby, complete with detailed directions. There is other information ranging from how to dig clams to who to contact under any circumstance. And enjoy walks on our private nature trail through a mature spruce and hemlock forest. Guide booklets are in the house for your use.
