Peaceful Retreat
This home is charming, clean and inviting, spacious enough for my family of four and yet cozy! The home is well equipped to make our stay comfortable . French doors offer great viewing of the lovely 15 acres. We love watching the geese and the variety of birds that make the pond their home. This is definitely one of our favorite VRBO’s and we hope to return!

We cannot say enough about our stay. We came for a weekend of college baseball and bird watching and both were a total success. The house is beautiful, clean and exactly as shown online. The attention to detail and little extras (coffee syrups, snacks, binoculars, makeup pad removers) really put this above most other rentals we have stayed at. It is located on the most beautiful wildlife preserve with a deck overlooking a lake filled with wildlife. We saw baby geese, bald eagles trying to catch breakfast, wild turkeys, coyotes, deer, and so much more. We cannot wait to be back!

So Homey and Amenities Galore
This place truly felt like home; like I was staying at a relatives home who thought of everything I might need. Not only was there everything from seasonings to shampoos, but there was complimentary snacks, champagne, and even fresh eggs! I was tickled about the eggs, the fire, the cozy fur pelt to snuggle with, and the really fluffy comfy bedding. It was more than I expected!

Peaceful Cabin
I was in town to visit my brother and his family, so I didn’t spend much time onsite to maximize all the amenities; however, this was the best stocked places I have ever stayed. The host had coffee, tea, hot chocolate and all the extras to make the best hot beverage. She also had a cabinet with non-perishables available in case needed. There were eggs from their chickens available in the fridge. They had games, birdwatching guides, and lots of local recommendations for your visit. Very cozy place with lots of touches to make your time here relaxing. Outdoor seating was available. Would recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful spot to unwind.

4th Stay
Kathryn and Dee have made us feel so special each time we've come. We even had a coyote welcome us our first night on this trip. To having the lights on, the beautiful flowers and card, to the wonderful throws to snuggle under while watching the wildlfe and weather with the fireplace going. Hubby has enjoyed the coffee bar so much. We've already booked our 5th stay for next summer. Sincerly, D & M.

My husband and I stayed for a week to celebrate our 20th anniversary. It was lovely. The place was clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful area. There were so many little touches that made it feel very welcoming. The only thing we’d change would be to add some sort of window covering for the front door.

Perfect Country Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights at this beautiful, well stocked cottage. The only "issue" was the shower was a little tight as my husband is a bigger guy. The roads are a bit windy and can be a little confusing, so use your GPS. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful Place
Wonderful place, except for the double booking first night - we had to sleep in our rental truck since we arrived at 2:45 am - but after that, all was great, and owner was accommodating to the mishap. Would highly recommend property to others in the area and/or visiting the Willamette Valley for wine tasting or other.

Amazing getaway for my wife and her friend to recharge batteries before beginning of school. Couches were comfy, great views at night of meteor shower, and very cozy accommodations all the way around helped make us dads look like geniuses and the moms starting a new tradition!

Peaceful Getaway
Dee and Kathryn provided such a beautiful property for us when we stayed at the Anderson House. The cleanliness of the place and attention to needs of residents was astounding. They had everything and more than we could think of on our own. They provided games for us to play, speaker for us to listen to, and even children’s books our son could enjoy. When I opened the cabinet to find a complete set of toddler dishes and utensils, my toddler was so happy to see familiar dishes and get to use them on his own. The property the house sits on is so peaceful and magical. The birds, the sounds, the water, and of course the wonderful beavers. This weekend was the perfect getaway to relax and enjoy our wedding weekend festivities fully. The Anderson House is about an hour and twenty minutes from Lincoln City where we were able to introduce our son to the ocean for the first time. They provided a binder full of recommendations in the area. While we may have been super busy, I am so excited we had enough spare time to follow their recommendation. Thank you, Dee and Kathryn for such a beautiful stay!
