Overall a lovely home for a quiet retreat (except when the neighbor was out doing target practice, those rifle shots echo right through the valley to you, lol.) Stunning views of lawn and forest. Many thoughtful touches throughout the house for the guest's comfort. Really neat property.
We loved our quiet stay here with the family. So peaceful, and relaxing. A heard of elk made several visits to the property during our stay, and were so beautiful to watch in their natural setting right out the big windows! Not a bad distance to sites like Cape Disappointment and Long Beach. Thanks for a great stay!
Great house, great grounds and just a really great overall experience. Nice house with a great floor plan and everything you could need while you're there. Our 2 dogs loved the grounds and we're so happy we found this place for the future.
Beautiful home on large lot with plenty of privacy and space for 4 legged friends! Kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to cook holiday meals. Fireplace keeps you cozy on those rainy winter nights.
This breathtaking propertt was very clean and had everything you could need. Wake up to elk in the yard. My family enjoyed Christmas here. It was perfect.

Our favorite place to stay near Willapa Bay
This was our second Thanksgiving spent in this home with our family and it was wonderful! The location is great for taking walks and going crabbing on our boat and the home is the perfect size to accommodate our group. We enjoyed board games on the large kitchen table, sitting by the fire in the evenings, cooking meals together in the well equipped kitchen and the visit from a herd of elk this year was icing on the cake! We will be back!
The 6 of us were very comfortable in this home away from home. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed! The beds were all comfortable. The elk and deer showed up for our viewing entertainment.
Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The house was clean and well stocked. We were even thrilled to see that there was a high chair for our toddler. We enjoyed sharing meals at the large family table and sipping coffee while staring out the bay window to the meadow. Highly recommend this property to other travelers. Thank you for hosting us on our spring break trip!

Everything we needed and more!!!!
We used this home as a place for extended family to stay for my daughter’s wedding. We held her wedding at our home in the neighborhood and this home was PERFECT. Comfortable, cozy, clean, and spacious for the whole family. Ken was very responsive to all our requests and questions. Thank you for helping make a perfect day even better!!The Graff’s!
This home is so well outfitted and setup for our group of 9 friends to use as home base for our outdoor adventure. The three seperate fill bathrooms made the space ideal for us. We even had plenty of space outside to park our vehicles and an RV which had water and power hookup. The kitchen is stocked with everything we needed for a week long stay. The fireplace was a nice cozy touch after long wet Washington days. We really enjoyed the dining area where the dining table was setup for at least 6 and the nearby bar for another three of us to break bread together and share stories before nodding of into the cozy living room furniture and eventually our wuiet comfortable rooms. We even saw several deer and elk on the property during our stay!

Family vacation
Overall we were very satisfy with the property and all the amenities and features that came with this place.
2 things that was a bit disappointing, pest control and housekeeping.
The first night we check in, we spot over 30+ of what we assume are powderpost beetles throughout the house. We didn’t check in until 10pm at night, so we didn’t know who to contact about the issue. Instead we spent a good amount of time cleaning ourselves and making sure it’s safe for the kids to sleep. Random ones were spotted during rest of our stay.
Owner should look into pest control immediately.
The second is the housekeeper. He showed up in the driveway 10 minutes before checkout and sat in his car. My son took an extra couple minutes to go back inside the house to use the washroom before the long car ride home. I went over to him at 10:02, (2 minutes after checkout) to see if he still wanted us to lock up out of courtesy. Before I could even finish my sentence, he told us we were late checking out and he needed to get in there to start preparing for the next group. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. The rest of my group were shocked to heard the conversation and the attitude.
With a few adjustments, this could be a nice vacation property for a big family gathering.
The kitchen is well equipped for those who love to cook. The property is very dog-friendly, private with lots of open space. Nature abounds and you can catch frequent sightings of elk, deer and owls!
This is our second time staying at this property and will certainly be back. Beautiful house, really comfortable bedding, all the kitchenware you could need, huge trees, isolated, nature, what more could you want??This is not a typical vacation rental with just the basics. Nice leather couches and chairs. Fire place, bbq, and little extras that make this an easy stay.

Welcoming and cozy
We absolutely loved our stay. Tons of room, fully furnished with everything we needed. The weather was perfect for some time around the fire pit and letting the kiddo explore.
Highly recommend!
This was a great place to gather three generations together for a family vacation. The open living room/dining room/kitchen gave us a place to gather together to watch the wildlife, prepare meals together and play games. And everyone had their own space at night to retreat. My boys (7 & 3) esp loved their attic area with bathroom - thanks for the safety rails as my 3yr old is still getting used to big beds.
The outdoor space was also lovely - to drink morning coffee on the porch, and to make s'mores at the firepit at night.
Check in and checkout was clear and simple, and it was easy to get a hold of someone with questions. Awesome place and would definitely book again!
This location in way to far from Long Beach, house needs to have better service, shower was plugged
Not good! For the amount of money we payed I was disappointed. Miss leading information on location of this house. Too far from looking beach. TV service is awful, shower was plugged. Won’t stay again
Beautiful house, elk and deer visited. Poor internet and a lot of mosquitos.
Beautiful house, elk and deer visited. Poor internet keep pausing and couldn't have more than two of the five TV's going at a time, needs a DVD player. Needs a screened in area on the porch to protect people from the mosquitos, ice machine being out was a problem, had to drive to town for more ice, fire wood and itch spray for all the bug bites. Loved the puzzles and 2 kid games. Kids loved the little hills, we brought slip & slides.

Vacation
It's a great place to spend time with family we really enjoyed and we would like to come back in winter
Absolutely loved the remote getaway that this home provided. The kids and dog loved exploring the fields and forest and observing the resident elk herd. We loved a quick afternoon hop to get oysters at the nearby store, but note that the oyster company is the ONLY nearby store. Town is 20-30 minutes away.
