ON THE RIVER
The location of the property is awesome. It's on the river and right down the street from the hatchery which is a popular drop in spot for fishing on the Elk River. Kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking tools and utensils you need. Great place to stay.

We were a group of 11 plus 3 dogs and it met our needs well. Plenty of blankets and towels. The river was beautiful and very relaxing. Beach is less that a 15 min drive away.

Great place!
We had a great time at this property. The house was clean and very well stocked with everything you could need. The owner, Rita and her husband were delightful and very helpful. Unfortunately, we were evacuated a day early due to the Anvil Fire. We hope the house makes it because we love to return at another time.

Mom grew up in Port Orford so our huge family gathered at Battle Rock to memorialize her. The Elk river in the backyard was delightful.

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.

Great place to stay
We stayed here with 7 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room and seating for all. Well stocked house. We had some one with car trouble and the host was very helpful. She was able to contact the caretaker and he helped us. Had a great time in the river and there were plenty of beds.

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!
