Elk River Retreat on the river! Great for fishing or relaxing!

My now husband and I stayed at this property leading up to our wedding which we celebrated locally in Langlois. This was a great location where we were able to relax and spend time with friends and family, and be able to include our dog Rocco. There was plenty of space, ample parking, and a comfort in which the property provided. We did notice that the house was not fully cleaned upon our arrival, the entry floor was not fully swept, there was a bag of trash in the master bathroom vanity, and the kitchen counter tops were very dusty. The master bedroom sliding door lock to the deck was broken and the dining room screen to the deck had holes near the handle. Overall though we enjoyed our stay and the property fulfilled our needs!

Great place to spend time with family!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of room to spread out while still being together. Loved the space on the deck. Enjoyed the additional seating through out the home so that people could gather easily! Saw a few deer, went upriver to a great swimming hole, spent time at the ocean and went on the jet boats in Gold Beach! Highly recommend this home to bring family together in a peaceful relaxing setting!

Vacation Rental on the River

Amazing! My family and I absolutely loved it. Plenty of space for everyone, plenty of things to keep the kiddos busy, BBQ on the deck. We are from Washington State all the way up north for a family wedding and was able to get together with all our family for an evening BBQ before we headed out. Views, quiet, really relaxing. Deck is a little unstable in a few spots, and the BBQ wasn’t working but my husband was able to get it fixed. Highly recommend! We plan to do another stay at the same location next year!

Great Stay

We had a family get together and used the house as our home base. It was so nice that we could stay there and have local family come over for a couple of BBQs. The river was right at the back and we all loved it. Plus the fish hatchery next door was an interesting add to our adventure. You could not get a better spot.

Our yearly camping trip to a new place

We took a chance and went somewhere new for our yearly camping trip. When we got there, opened the door and the smell of mold hits you right in the face. I was not thrilled after that. Cleaning needs to be worked on. There were spiders everywhere. Spiderwebs in every coroner you could think of. The jacuzzi tub works if you’re lucky. The bbq was a joke. It has 1 burner that works, one that kinda works(better off not using it), one that doesn’t work at all, and one missing completely. The kids ran a bath, the water came out brown. For the amount we paid to stay there, I expected things to be better. I can’t say we would be staying there again.

This place is paradise. Elk River is clear and beautiful. The house side of the river has has a sandy eddy for children to safely play in while the other side is deep for swimmers. We loved the quiet along with no light pollution. We saw a meteor shower. The kids were fascinated by the fish hatchery just a short walk away. It was fun watching occasional cars pass over the river on a swinging bridge. The 2 engineers in our group had quite a conversation over its construction. We ate all meals on the large deck. The home is roomy, clean and well stocked.

Secluded Retreat

What a great place! We met family from washington (we're from california) and this was a great mid-way point for us. The house, as my wife put it, has the feel of a family cabin. We had 7 kids and 4 adults together, and everyone was very comfortable. There are games, puzzles and movies for those rainy days and late nights when you are in house. The river behind has a small area for kids to play safely unless it is post storm, and the only argument was whether they were finding newts or salamanders. I think they were geckos... Whatever. The river is so beautiful and the shallow shelf can easily be navigated by kids safely with supervision. Its a great place for large groups. Its far enough away to feel secluded, but only 15 min from agate beach, the lighthouse, and other points of interest. Its a 5 min walk to the fish hatchery, and they let the kids feed the fish. There are so many trails and streams to explore, this is a cant miss location. We are already planning a future visit to the area and would stay here again. The Host was great. Checked in once to make sure we had everything we needed. And this place has everything you need for a great stay. Thank you!
