Thank you for the hospitality. The quiet of the cottage was just what I needed to put life back into order. I will always remember the ocean view and the waves drifting me to sleep each night. Brookings is certainly a place to come back to and visit.
Denise, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Thank you very much for a wonderful place to stay. The view was breathtaking and the sound of the waves was wonderful. It was the best romantic evening I got to spend with Kelly, the one I love very much.
Danny & Kelly, Crescent City, California
A magical place. We've had a memorable, special time and hope to come again.
Dick & Sally, Claremont, California
Waking up to find a deer in the garden was idyllic. The view is
spectacular, the room so comfortable, and the beach is out of this
world! Our two night stay in your home was magical.
Argus, Catrina & Philippa, Edinburgh, Scotland
We've stayed in a lot of B&B's across the states, but it would be pretty hard to beat this one!
Bill & Shirley, Huntington Beach, California
The breathtaking view from our room led us down the trail to the
beach. Wild fushia, thistles in full bloom, shamrocks and other
delights led us to the beach. We wandered through the piles of
driftwood, played with the birds, examined and climbed on the rocks
and marveled at the multi-colored pebbles lined up on the beach
where the waves receded. It was so relaxing to sleep with the
window open and listen to the ocean. Lorene and Jack, thank you for
opening your home to us and sharing your charming and very personal
hospitality.
Tammie & Brian, Seattle, Washington
We've spent 2 nights here of our honeymoon trip. My first time ever in Oregon. We love your home, and the fairy tale like path hidden on the hill to the sea below. You're very gracious hosts and have appreciated your hospitality. Thank you. Hope to see you again!
Tracey & Fernando
It was a wonderful retreat for me to get re-energized. Thank you again Lorene and Jack.

Contemplating retirement in Oregon, this was our second trip of discovery to the Coast. We are even more enamoured with the area-- the most important being the people. We discovered wonderful hosts here in the cottage by the Sea.
Pat & Steve, Dallas Texas
Thank you for providing this peaceful haven. We never heard a car
or phone. The walk down to the beach is beautiful and so is the
view. Our family feels fortunate to have found this Oregon
Treasure. We needed a quiet escape, and can't wait to return!

What a beautiful, peaceful setting for a B&B. Just what we needed. Thanks so much.
Sharon & Gary, Grants Pass, Oregon
For many years my husband and I traveled the Oregon Coast during the Winter so we could experience the storms and beauty of the Ocean. This was just perfect--cozy room and the weather cooperated for us. We celeberated our 13th anniversary here and couldn't have selected a more perfect spot!
Kathy & Jerry, Shelter Cove, California
Joining hands in the glen behind your home yesterday for our wedding--with the roar of the ocean, sweet breezes from the sea, and sun shining down upon us, will forever fill our hearts. Thank you Jack & Lorene for everything!!
Bev & Karl, Cave Junction, Oregon
To those who have passed this way after us--ENJOY--the view, serenity, and lucky Jack & Lorene who have been so lucky to have lived here for so long. It was a pleasure, and we especially enjoyed the path to the beach! P.S. Chives Restaurant is a must!

God smiled when he made this place. How fortunate you are to live here, and how fortunate we are to have found you. Your gracious hospitality is exceeded only by the glory of this magnificent spot. Thank you, thank you.
Mac & Catherine
Thanks for letting us share your little piece of heaven! Although we had high expectations, we had no idea how beautiful this part of the Oregon Coast would be. A great big thanks for providing the deer that showed up outside our window this morning. We will always remember your lovely home.
Forbes & Cindy, Columbia, South Carolina
Your beach is beautiful and it will be one of our favorite memories of Oregon. The peacefulness of this place was a blessing. We also loved going to sleep by the sounds of the Pacific.

Jeff, Kimberly, Ethan & Hannah, Rancho Santa Margarita, California
Your place is like a different world. The path itself was worth the
trip. But then to add the view, the sounds, the sunset, the beach
and the deck is somewhat overwhelming. Thank you so much. This
spot has been the high point of a very beautiful vacation!
Randy & Sharon, Denver, Colorado
I have traveled all over the world, but this is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. Jack and Lorene, thanks for sharing your lovely place with us.

The most beautifully sited B&B I've ever stayed in.

What a wonderful place--had a hard time pulling ourselves away. The perfect spot for a honeymoon!

Our first sunset on this side of the Pacific! This is a wonderful retreat from a hectic world! "Friendly folks" fits well. Thank you for the peaceful hospitality.

The serenity of the long, wide vista and the drama of the waves crashing against the rocks--all this makes for a wonderful place to relax and renew.

One of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen on the Oregon Coast. Incredible view.
Terna & Roy, Sebastopol, California
We love it! The view, the weather and peace far exceeded our
expectations! We'll be back for sure. Didn't realize it could be
so warm on the Oregon Coast and it is only March 1st! Thanks also
for the lovely breakfast.
Beth & Mark, Beaverton, Oregon
What a beautiful place to spend 2 days with the special love of your life. So great to hear the soothing voice of the ocean and enjoying the waves in the black of the night. We had the whole beach and trail to ourselves the whole time.
Carrol & Harvey
Thank you for sharing this slice of heaven with us. The view and the sounds of waves is sublime and a balm for the soul. We'll be happy to return.
Jan & Michele, Fairfield, California
Went for a hike down to the beach, up and over the rocks and back again!! Having a back yard like this is simply a dream!
Valinda, Eugene, Oregon
We live in such a fast paced world, always rushing from one thing to
another. It was so nice to stay here, relax, look at the ocean and
read.

The million dollar offer still stands.
Sean & Jennifer, Shingle Springs, California
Don't sell!!! We want to come back!
Lisbeth & Mark, Ashland, Oregon
What a wonderful hideaway. When we arrived, Jack made us feel very comfortable. Our walk down the beautiful path to the beach was so enchanting. The beach was our own private play ground.
JoAnn & Jim, Ashland, Oregon
If Montana is "The Last Best Place", this is "The Second-To-The Last Best Place." We look forward to our yearly stop here.
Sherry & Anthony, Ashland, Colorado
The walk down to the beach is one of the seven wonders of the world. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Sam & Ariel, Jacksonville, Oregon
What a delightful place! Even with the fog, the tree & garden made a lovely view. And the path to the beach is an incredible asset. We've enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thanks so much for being here! Loved the antiques upstairs, too.
Norm & Karen, Glendale, California
Clear calm sky--and as the sun went down the deer came up--we didn't quite know what to make of each other at first--but then everything was as it should always be--quiet, calm and peaceful. Thank you for the opportunity to remember these simple things.
The stay with you has been just what the doctor ordered. We've slept soundly for two whole nights, relaxed on the beach and enjoyed your good food with the view. We'll be back.
Earl & Lava, Eugene, Oregon
A wonderful place. Very spiritual and peaceful. We had a lovely time and hope to return soon.
Singer Island, Florida
The peace, the view, the path, the beach, the fawns outside our window...all contributed to a wondrous overnight stay. Thank you for the hospitality.
Dick & Jennie, Carnation, Washington
Don't miss an early morning walk to the beach--spectacular. Two timid fawns came to the edge of the yard after breakfast--it's like a Disney movie.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Though our meeting was brief, we can tell that you folks are from another time--we do appreciate that.
Cyndy, Virginia
What a view! What a great place to call home!
