The house and location were amazing. Ariel was there for every need and went out of her way to make our stay outstanding. We plan to return.

Pure bliss is the only way to describe my family’s...
Pure bliss is the only way to describe my family’s experience at Ariel’s stunning home perched above the beautiful Elk River. My husband and I rented Ariel’s home for a week, as a gathering place with our two adult children and one significant other. From my initial on-line inquiry to our last communications upon check out, Ariel responded quickly, kindly and informatively—one could not ask for a more attentive, thoughtful and respectful host. This house that her father designed and had built is clearly dear to her heart and she makes every effort to ensure her guests love their time in it. It could easily be featured in Architectural Digest but at the same time it is hospitable and cozy. There was plenty of shared space but also ample bedrooms and other areas to retreat to for when we needed a break from togetherness:) Ariel had thoughtfully readied the house for our arrival with fresh flowers, scented candles and assorted spa products to be enjoyed in the house’s plentiful soaking tubs and steam showers. The incredible Chef’s kitchen was stocked with all the essentials as well as a panoply of top-of-the-line appliances that our foodie family enjoyed to the hilt. Most nights we either cooked or grilled at the house and then enjoyed dinner on the house’s expansive and comfortably-furnished desk. Port Orford and nearby Bandon also afforded opportunities for meals out. The house was perfectly situated near beaches, rivers and hiking trails so we could enjoy all manner of outdoor activities. Ariel knows the area well and was happy to offer us ideas for excursions both on and off the beaten path. That said, we had a hard time leaving the sunny deck where we started each day with a steaming cup of coffee listening to birdsong and gazing out on the massive emerald fir trees and azure blue sky.

Riverside Retreat
This property is a gem -- four generous suites, a commercial kitchen, a lodge-like communal gathering space with a 47-ft high ceiling with exposed rafters, a deck overlooking the river -- it doesn't get much better than this! Port Orford and nearby towns are easily accessible for supplies and crabbing is great from the piers. Ariel & Patrick were great hosts.

A dream two week getaway
This is one of the best places we have stayed. We booked this beautiful home as a birthday celebration for which we were considering going to a luxury resort. There is no chance a resort could have been as nice, as comfortable, as relaxing, as quiet or as fun. The home is spectacularly designed, top end, unique, bright, open, comfortable and peaceful. The bathrooms are luxurious and the kitchen is fantastic. The views are stunning. The hosts, Ariel and Patrick, are amazingly kind, warm and helpful. They showered us with homegrown produce, allowed us to pick anything from their garden, were responsive to any inquiries yet gave us privacy.
The home is near a beautiful beach (Battle Rock) in Port Orford, great hiking in Humbug Park and some wonderful small farms (especially Wild Woods Gypsy) and markets.
We stayed here two weeks and still wanted to stay longer. We will certainly return.

Family Vacation at the "Hotel California" on the Elk River
My family just returned from a weeklong get together at this awesome house and property on the Elk River. We had a great time and everyone was really impressed with the house design, the really cool/ spacious bedrooms, the views of the River, etc. We enjoyed swimming/snorkeling in the Elk River crystal pools, the easy but semi remote access to 101 and the southern OR coast. Ariel is a great host and was always available to point out where to find things in the house, accommodate any extra needs, and give suggestions of places to go.

Beautiful home, lovely location, perfect escape!
Spectacular home with views of the Elk River and nearby hills from every room. Sit on the deck with your morning coffee and listen to the water rushing by as you plan your day (beach? hike? bike? explore towns along the coast?). Return after your day of adventure to make dinner in the well-appointed kitchen, watch the sun set, and enjoy a jacuzzi before bed. It doesn't get any better than this. The perfect family escape.

Beautiful Oregon Retreat
Stunning home, overlooking Elk River, we loved the view, as well as the incredible kitchen. Our family had a wonderful, relaxing stay, including day trips exploring the beautiful southern Oregon coast. Responsive, helpful host, beautiful flowers, artwork and other thoughtful touches.
