The property was very beautiful. Bedrooms needed to be cleaned, we cleaned under the beds and knocked down the spider webs before we could sleep. Several spiders were vacuumed up. Furniture needed to be upgraded, in my opinion. Front porch light was hanging by a wire, host was notified. Enjoyed our stay very much!

Absolutely beautiful views from all rooms. Listening to the ocean in the distance was so relaxing . Love the pellets stove. Easy to use.

This house could not be in a better location. You are right next to the lake which is perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. We saw so much wildlife in the cove in which the house is situated It is, also, just a short drive or walk to the beach. The house is a rustic cabin with comfy furniture and large bedrooms. If you want a quiet and cozy vacation this is a great house for you.

We love Otter Cove! We now consider this our annual getaway spot.

This is a very beautiful and peaceful location and the house is makes you feel at home. We saw a pair of otters near the dock one afternoon!

The bay windows in the bedroom, living room and kitchen allowed us a prime view of the lake, a few feet from the house. Each had sitting cushions from which you could read and enjoy the morning sun. We watched deer, raccoons, golden mantled ground squirrels and myriad birds including osprey. This home is definitely a getaway--the pace of life here is undeni

We had a really good time. wish there had been a TV in the master bedroom. really enjoyed the privacy and the lake.

This place was perfect for us. So perfect we decided to change our wedding location from Cape Blanco to here! Beautiful views of the lake! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The pellet stove kept the place warm! Very comfortable beds and couches. We hope to return again! The only negative was the dock was broken. Otherwise the dogs had a blast!

This was our third time in this home, and every visit was a treat. The property is beautiful and peaceful, and fishing and boating on the lake are very relaxing. The home is very comfortable and has been outfitted with everything a family of many generations could ask for in the way of entertainment. An additional bonus is that it is dog-friendly, which is one of our primary requirements for rental homes. We couldn't ask for more!

My husband and I took our children as a surprise the morning after Christmas to the ocean. Being right next to the lake was a bonus. We brought fishing poles and they caught some! The house was very homey and comfortable sleeping my family easily. The kitchen was well stocked so we could prepare meals with ease. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Love this little house! Peaceful time to visit with my sister's and daughter. What a blessing!

The location was quite nice right on the lake. The house is old which I have no problem with but it was not clean it smelled of urine the rug needs to be clean professionally and they definitely need a curtain in the kitchen window when the sun comes in it’s blinding

Otter Cove is tucked away on the shores of Garrison Lake and is a very short drive to the beach or town. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well provisioned, and the living room ample with a full-on view of the lake.

Wonderful, private, everything you need!

Beautiful and quiet spot next to a lake. Easy access to ocean beaches with no crowds

We had a amazing time. Kids did not want to leave.! Dogs love swimming.

The house needs deep cleaning by a professional cleaning service to bring it to a livable condition.

This is a beautiful and peaceful location for a getaway. Close to the beach, beautiful lake, and cozy home.

We love the location and stayed before Kayak access is truck but we managed even with kids. There was a visiting critter which made us all change sleeping arrangements

Home is in process of remodeling. Insects were regular visitors. The home is not sealed up at all entrances so they do come in. The home is located on the lake with a dock that is unfortunately broken. The kids found many salamanders in the water. The home and needs were comfortable.

Yard was a jungle, house looked like a squater just left and a quick wipe down was done, very dirty and dusty. We could not stay, owner was gracious and gave us a refund.

My husband and I and our two dogs enjoyed our stay. You couldn’t be closer to the beautiful lake and we had excellent weather. Local hikes and stroll on the beach, puzzles and yummy local food were great. The beds were good and the house appears to be mid renovation but it didn’t disrupt our stay.

Our family stayed here for the second time and had a wonderful time. The spot is so quiet and serene, with lakefront views from large windows off of the living room, one bedroom, and dinning area. We spent a lot of our time just relaxing on the comfy couches and chairs and looking out at the view, watching birds go by and fish jump. There were a lots of puzzles provided and we did many of them while enjoying the view and the quiet. There were lots of fish in the lake and our 6-year-old and his father spent a day fishing right off the backyard grassy area, and caught some large trout! We also brought our own inflatable boat and enjoyed paddling around the lake enjoying the scenery as well. We took a couple of little day trips while we were there and some walks around town, but the house was so comfy and relaxing that we spent a lot of our time just enjoying the peaceful setting. We saw an otter in the lake one day, and deer in the front yard. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had all the appliances we needed and a fair number of spices and staples. There were lots of little touches that made us feel that the home is cared for and the guest experience is important, and little extras like crayons and coloring books for kids, and lots of books and DVDs. We felt quite at-home here and had a wonderful time. We hope to be back one day!

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and it has met all our needs each time. Love the view of the lake

The location and view are outstanding. Owners have put a lot of work into the property with an updated kitchen and bathroom completed. Final night was very windy and lots of rattling made sleeping a bit of a challenge. Nice not to have neighbors close by, would love to return in summer and enjoy more of the lake and Paradise Point beach.

This was our second time staying at this property and we can't wait to return! The setting is so peaceful, right on the lake and a short walk to the beach. Watching the wildlife from the living room was a bonus! The home is very warm and cozy, all that we could have hoped for. We can't wait to return!

We couldn't have been happier with Otter Cottage, wish we could have stayed longer! The home is very cozy with an amazing view of the lake. You feel like you are miles away from the world, but a short walk to the ocean and drive to town. Very relaxing, we can't wait to return!

Such a beautiful location. Spectacular view of Garrison lake. Right on the water. Beautiful views through large bay windows in the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom. Lots of birds to observe. Very comfortable space. Pellet stove for heat which needs to be filled a couple times a day to keep the heat on all night - we learned that quickly. Very private and peaceful. Highly recommended rental!

The house was great... bring ear plugs as you can hear everyone moving about. Great kitchen, comfortable beds, beautiful views.

Cozy home with a fantastic view of the lake. Nice and private and quite, but close enough to town and the beach. We will be back!

Great for family time and fishing! We'll definitely be coming back soon!

The description of this wonderful property says "Otter Cove is not fancy but loved for it's cozy charm. Come see what everyone loves..." I am now part of this fan club. This truly comfortable, solid home is one of the most well-appointed rentals I've experienced in over thirty years of regular travel all over the world. The hosts and property managers have generously supplied every single thing to make a visit here feel more like you are being welcomed to a friend's house than staying in a sterile rental where the owners are so afraid of damage or theft that they do not provide quality items for your stay. I especially appreciate the extremely well stocked, quality kitchen equipment. The washer/dryer is a plus as well. I stayed here for a week with my adult son, and he rose early to work. This is a solidly built house, and I was not bothered by noise (I am sure he made an effort to be quiet, yet, with the doors closed, noise transfer is minimal, even though this is a compact space overall). Now for the magic of the lake and the wonderful experience of sitting by the bay windows (in both the living and master bedroom areas) on a moonlit night, watching the moon steadily rise over the glass smooth lake. With all the lights off in the house, sitting in the comfy chairs facing the bay windows looking out over the lake, one returns to the wonder of life. At all times of the day, the wonderful bird visitors, just as described, and other critters (including the two adorable fawns we saw), and the changing light and mood of the water is absolutely captivating and wonderful! The beds are supremely firm and comfortable and the duvets and other linens are high quality and add to the overall feel of comfort and rest here. Port Orford is an interesting town, in relatively easy reach of the vibrant Bandon, or Gold Beach, gateway to the wild, enchanting and historic Rogue River (Jerry's Jet Boats or a guided fishing trip recommended). There are some amazing hikes here in Port Orford, great beaches, and interesting history. Paradise Point Road goes directly to the beach. I really recommend a visit to Herban Farm, with truly homemade, hardy food with "fast food" convenience, a smile, and a sweet outdoor dining area. Great coffee at Battle Rock Drivethrough.David is highly responsive and a fantastic communicator. He did everything possible to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. Overall one of the best vacations I have ever had!
