We chose this house to stay for our visit to Bandon because we instantly felt the welcoming kindness you offered when giving info about the area to us.
We hope - in the near future to make the Oregon Coast our home & your beautiful little house - with its gorgeous view of "Face Rock" provided us with a little Heaven-on-earth while we explored the area.
Thank you for your great hospitality. We hope to return for another stay soon!
March/02
Thanks for a cozy weather filled week!! We will certainly include Bandon in our future vacation spots.
More storms would be good!

What a wonderful, beautiful, quiet, relaxing week we've enjoyed. Thank you for sharing this incredible place with our families - we love it here. Thank you also for Go Fish, Crazy Eights and Old Maid - The kids loved them and couldn't stop playing them.
We hope to return here again and again.
March 02
We had a wonderful, extraordinary and so peaceful stay here in your great home. The kids have seen so much - actually all our heads are packed full of memories, sights and information of this great part of the world. The tidepools are beyond words - as are the whales, the view and the deep binding peace of this slice of heaven.

Ah, breath in - breath out, sitting in this lovely wingback I feel so content - a real gift you offer in your attentive nature to comfort.
This is the first time I've felt what it is like to receive the same attention to detail that I offer my own guests, how lovely.

As we savor our 17th stay in this unique little cottage at Face Rock, we again appreciate its charm, roominess and setting.
Each year we carry our souls to Bandon for renewal and nourishment, pure pleasure, and another thrilling experience with the mighty ocean. Your friendship and provided comfort are treasures more that you know

8 nights and 7 sunsets. How blessed were we? All sunsets were viewed from your deck of this cute cottage. We had a wonderful time experiencing rain, sun, clouds & being sandblasted during a windstorm. We explored the southern coast from Brookings to Reedsport. Saw all four lighthouses. Spent plenty of time exploring the shore outside the door. In Bandon we saw 15 breeds of birds and 2 breeds of seals. All fairly up close. What a treat! We even think we saw a puffin! The tidepools were an extra treat. We enjoyed petting the bear cubs @ the Safari: not as cheesy as we thought it would be. Best fish & clips in State @ Bandon Fish Market. We did so much thanks to your central location of the coast & near the wayside to boot! Yes we did relax to. Stayed our last two days @ the cottage flying kites, making sandcastles, reading etc. No TV here! Thank you so very much & hope to see you again.

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. We absolutely loved the house and the view. We had such a great time! This was our 1st time but we plan to come back at least once a year.
June 02
Our stay was wonderful. Beautiful view and very comfortable house. Very relaxing and lots of things to do.

My husband and I enjoyed a moment in paradise! Having lived in Lincoln City in my past, I always tell Jeff how beautiful the Oregon coast is. He finally got to see for himself! Now its back to Las Vegas!
June 02
Thank you for the house. The views are spectacular! The house is quite cozy and a little too cozy. I didn't get in enough time at the beach because I was too relaxed here (hahaha). Since relaxation was a major goal, however, I am quite pleased. Your information book is fantastic!! I hope to come back and enjoy your place again. Thank you again soooo much it is a great little house.
June 02
Thank you, Doreen and Will!! What a great place. We had a wonderful time with family & friends. This magical place has captured our hearts and your cozy, thoughtfully decorated house has added to our joy. We will be back.!! Cheers to you.
July 02
The small town of Bandon is so welcoming and this cozy home overlooking Face Rock is wonderful. This house had everything needed to make this a perfect vacation for our family. I cannot think of anything that I would have changed. We have made a lot of special memories and will always speak fondly of our trip to the Oregon coast. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. Best Wishes!
July 02
We have been coming to your charming cottage since 1987 and always completely enjoy our time spend in this little home by the sea!!
July 02
What a lovely cottage! The view is so nice and the beach is such a great place.
The history on the wall, puzzles, well equipped kitchen, meals on the deck all make for a relaxing time. Thanks a lot.
July 02
Thank you so much for making available this lovely home. It has an atmosphere that invites relaxation. The view & sound of the ocean waves are wonderful. Our children, ages 9 & 11, combed the beaches daily to gather treasures, and enjoyed the puzzles too. We enjoy the Oregon Coast and have really liked staying put in one spot for 4 days. Now back in the car!
Aug 02
What a welcome change from 110o in Phoenix. The view is magnificent. Everything is so well planned and comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful vacation. Will see you again soon.
Aug 02
As usual our stay here has been wonderful as always. The rest, rejuvenation of body and soul and the many memories are worth so much to both of us.
This year especially was very much needed and almost missed…. This week has played a large part in helping both of us to heal and strengthen our bodies and our mind. Especially Lee who feels he's been given a new lease on life. We both realize what a precious and joyous gift we have been given from our Father in Heaven and we hope we never take it for granted again. Thanks again and God willing, we'll see you next year.
September 02
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely!
Three very tired ladies entered this house a week ago. Three very relaxed and rejuvenated ladies left today!
Thank you for sharing the cottage and the view.
August 02
Another nice stay in the wonderful place. The view changes frequently. This is such a great place to relax. Thank you for making it available.
October 02
We had another wonderful week relaxing here. Perfect fall weather. Met many friendly folks. Thank you. See you next spring!
October 02
What a wonderful house - prefect for our great family get-a-way. We enjoyed two days of beautiful, sunny weather & two days of cozy, foggy days. The views are just spectacular! Thank you for providing such a great accommodation - we hope to be back next year!
November 02
Thanks so much for another wonderful stay. We just love this place! Our girls, 2 & 4, love it here also & are not ready to leave. They thoroughly enjoy their "vacation house"! Thanks again.
November 02
This was our first year ever away from home over Thanksgiving. We could not of chosen a more welcoming "home away from home". Nothing could of topped our turkey & stuffing except enjoying it while watching the waves crash on face rock.
The state of Oregon is beautiful. The people are so friendly and your home is so welcoming.
We've created memories we will never forget… but if we do we'll just look and one of the thousands of videos &/or pictures we took! Thanks for everything!
December 02
You gave us everything you promised. We've enjoyed the visit very much. You certainly have a view that can't be beaten.
December 02
The view is fantastic! This has been a great Christmas retreat. This is our third holiday in Bandon and we look forward to coming again soon.
December 02
Even though it rained all the time, we were here except the day we are leaving, my daughter & I had a joyous time, shopping, watching the ocean and feeding the birds. Thank you very much for all your kindness both big and small.
January 03
What a gorgeous spot! We never tire of wave watching and walking on the beach, even if it is raining. Coming from Colorado, any form of moisture in marvelous. Yesterday during our walk we found a perfect sand dollar.
Thanks for the hospitality of this clean, well-equipped home. We hope to return in '04.
February 03
Again this year, as in years past, your house has worked its magic. Each year we came with different needs and leave refreshed and renewed. The storms all week have renewed my awe of god's power and beauty - some of the greatest wave action we've seen. This year we met some of the sweetest people, even found people at Zumwalt's who know our future grandson-in-law. Will, Doreen, over these many years you have become friends. Thank you for this! Hope the day comes when we can comb the beach with our twin grandsons. God bless you both.
February 03
I came here needing peace and found it! My husband came here looking for crab and found them! We came with good friends, which made it all perfect!
How can we thank you for sharing this perfect place with us. There are no words to thank you enough!!!
With luck we will be back to enjoy it again.
February 03
Thank you for sharing this wonderful place on God's earth with us and all who come into your life. You are an example to us all of "God's Stewards". May both continue to be blessed by him.
You were so nice and pleasurable to talk to and this house is just a wonderful place to be. Thank you for the love that shows from you into all you have given to us and others, to, by furnishing and comforts here - and the view and the history are fantastic.
We are always "Making Memories" in our family - but this trip we're here with our special friends and the "memories" we'll take home are the best of all. Thank you again & again for your generosity. God's Blessings to you & our sincere thanks.

We are having fun. It is very homey. I love it here. It is cool!! Hope to see you again!!
May 03
After many years of visiting here, this was the vest visit ever.
It never changes in all the important aspects - kind hosts, yard and home so inviting, the best view on the coast, the restless sea and lovely, lovely groups of winged "droppers in" from sunrise to sunset. It is always a dream answered and begging a repeat! Our love and blessings on you -
The house was perfect for me and my newlywed husband. We enjoyed the breathtaking view immensely. Bandon has made a perfect honeymoon. We loved it!
As always we had a wonderful week. Weather was fantastic. We are always thankful to be able to come for a week to get away.
June 03
You and your cottage have given our family a week to remember! Thank you for sharing it with us.
When we arrived Monday we spent the evening walking along the beach. It was our senior son's and sophomore daughters' first time to see the ocean. They were excited to experience the ocean here at Bandon.
Tuesday we drove to the sea lion caves north of Florence, and on to Newport to see the Oregon Coast museum. It was so much fun.
Wednesday we went out on a charter fishing boat here in Bandon (the Barbara K). All four of us caught our limit of Rock Fish. We are taking a cooler of fish home with us. We once again spent the evening walking the beach. Great day! Thursday was a must for everyone! We drove north of Bandon to the state parks by Charleston. Shore Acres and the botanical garden was a treat and Sunset Bay was so interesting. We ate our dinner at Charleston at the Fisherman's Grotto. Husband mike had the best salmon there. Friday was a fun day going through all the shops at Old Town Bandon. We got gifts for everyone. Tomorrow, we leave to go home to Nebraska. We take with us great memories of a time spent here at Beach House at Face Rock!
June 03
Beach House at Face Rock was all we expected it to be and more. During our last two weeks of teaching, we were giddy with anticipation for what was to come: - glorious views, restful mornings with coffee in hand, and mindless searching of agates on the beach
We enjoyed eating lobster at The Harp for our 32nd anniversary, visiting Florence, and roaming Shore Acres Botanical Garden.
Thanks again for a restful week. Look forward to visiting again next year.
July 03
Wow. What an interesting 4th celebration in Bandon. The best spot for viewing ii is the bar above Harp's. We keep it safe and sane. Thanks so much.
July 03
Thank you so much for the use of your lovely little house at Face Rock. It's hard to believe the scenery here could be any better than our own in Colorado, but the rocks and waves and sunsets have their own special beauty. The vie reminded us of every day, why we were here. Thanks again.
July 03
It's been a very special week - the weather has gone from foggy and misty to warm and sunny - every day perfect. We especially enjoyed the warm evenings and dining al fresco.
This has been our first visit to Oregon, but it won't be our last. We've loved the house, the beach, the weather - everything. Thank you for creating a welcoming environment where our children would remark "let's go home" - meaning this house at Face Rock.
We'll be back - we can imagine a cold Christmas with walks on the beach and snuggle time by the fire. Thanks
Aug 03
The pictures on your website do not do justice to the beauty and coziness of your house at Face Rock has to offer. Our first Northwest trip will hold memories for years to come.
The scenic beauty from the golf courses to the redwoods is awe-inspiring. A week is just not long enough to enjoy all the things Bandon has to offer.
We were fortunate to have great weather - only two days of fog, and some great sunsets.
We hope to return in the future and your house will surely be called home when we do return.
Thank you very much for a great place to stay.
September 03
Wonderful vacation! This is our third trip to Bandon, and we only regret that we didn't stay in your home earlier. We just loved it here. You have made it such a comfortable retreat, and we particularly appreciate the historic touches about the original homeowners and Bandon in general.
Thanks, too, for your kind and thoughtful welcome.
This was the first time we stayed in Bandon for a full two weeks. We had an absolutely perfect time and look forward to our next visit. We will certainly try to stay in this home again. Thanks for making it such a special place to stay.
October 03
We had a wonderful stay here. Restful, relaxing, so much beauty. This is such a great place to stay. Thank you so much for making it available to us!
October 03
Another perfect week of lots of sleep, great fresh fish and rest! Looking forward to the 4th of July! This feels so much like "home" it is sad to leave.
November 03
November in Bandon was beautiful! Great sunsets, lots of wild life (bunnies, seals, etc).
We were the recipients of Mother Nature's beauties.
The new cook stove and microwave were very nice although we will miss the ambiance the old stove added to the cottage.
Thank you once again for your hospitality and use of this very cozy cottage with the beautiful view!
November 03
I've seen double rainbows over the LADY, hail and rain and gorgeous sun Doreen and I confirmed my first visit here was in October 1989. …
The beach house is in stone center of my being, my heart, home… (look for the little brown bunny with white tail. He lives in the ground cover on the North side of the slider.
December 03
Thank you for the cranberry jelly candy and a wonderful week here at Face Rock. We love the view, the house and the friendliest people in the world. Had to use more heat and wood than we thought, but it was beautiful one day & we love the rain too.
January 04
We've had 3 beautifully sunny, warm days with a spectacular ocean! We've loved watching the waves here, at Shore Acres and Bullard's. Got to really watch them yesterday during our lock-out! Thanks for your rescue!
Halibut at the Wheelhouse was yummy as was the chowder and our not-to-be missed ice cream cones at the Cheese Factory. Creatures of discriminating habits!
We love the new sofa and chairs and range and appreciate all that you do for our
January 04
This cottage is so wonderful - cozy, warm, comfortable and accommodating. Everything is close at hand for our comfort. What a joy it has been to watch the waves as they smash against the rock.
The guest book was very helpful for restaurants & churches. I particularly appreciated being able to have my elderly mother call me daily while I was gone and the use of the VCR.
Even when we were buffeted with 60 mi./hr. winds and horrendous rain we were comfortable in front of the fire.
Thank you for a lovely vacation home.
February 04
A wonderful weekend! The view is spectacular!
Thanks for having us on such short notice..
We hope to come again.
P.S. Thanks for the Cranberry Sweets!

Guest #1 - Beautiful house and great view! Nice not seeing sun for seven days!
Guest #2 - Great beach combing. Found lots of agates!
My favorite kind of diamond.
Guest #3 - Enjoyed the vacation. Missed the sun! The house well stocked.
April 04
We absolutely love the house! It is so comfortable & cozy with such a wonderful view. Lots of walks on the beach, lots & lots of pictures and some much needed relaxation. Everyday we would be met by the same 3 seagulls that would chase all the others away from "their" yard.
Thank you for letting us celebrate our 16th anniversary in such a beautiful place. We will never forget it.
Until next time
May 04
Once again our life has been enriched by your gracious sharing of this delightful home - and rabbits, and birds, and the best view in the world! It has been our most precious time ever.
May 04
The end of another great week (our 9th time). We have traveled a lot but the beach house here is very special. We always enjoy our time here. Thanks so much.
May 04
We loved the house sooo much thank you and we enjoyed the view of the ocean and the pink sunsets. Thanks!!!
We went horse back riding, tried to go fishing and we all loved it!
June 04
The house is just as nice as I remembered, your hospitality is/was appreciated. I enjoyed the weather rain and all. I chopped wood for the first time in my life - thanks!
This is a great, comfortable place to stay - I hope we can return next year!
Riding on the beach was fabulous too, I really enjoy Bandon and being so close to town makes this the perfect spot!
June 04
This was my 16-month-old nephew's first ocean experience. It has been so wonderful for us to see the excitement and amazement on his face as he put his toes in the water and gently touched an anemone. The sound of the ocean, the creatures in the tide pools and our "home away from home" have added to the enjoyment that we have experienced during our Bandon vacation.
Thanks so much for this lovely retreat. It way/is a fantastic place to vacation with our children, son-in-law and only grand child.
Best wishes.
July 04
This has truly been a vacation!
How can you not love getting up to this spectacular view every morning!
Great house, terrific view, wonderful time.
July 04
I have really enjoyed my first trip to the Oregon Coast. It has been a relaxing and fun trip - I hate to leave!
July 04
This place is really wonderful. It's everything my son Jim said it was and more. We really love it here. It's so peaceful & quiet with the sound of the waves and the beautiful sunsets! What a great trip to the Oregon Coast
Thanks again for the best view in Oregon! See you soon!
July 30, 04
We camped at Bullards Beach for more than 20 years. Whenever we took a ride and drove past this house, we thought it looked so cute and cozy. Well, it is all that and more, plus an absolutely wonderful view.
Thanks for sharing your peaceful home with us!
August - September 04
Like bad pennies we keep "coming back" --
Don't need to tell you how we love it here - the view can't be beat.
October 04
We love staying in your lovely cottage by the sea! The weather favored us again so we could walk the beach and bike into "old town". Wish we could stay in Bandon more often - perhaps when we "really" retire. Thank you for keeping the cottage both clean and comfortable!
October 04
Another great week in the Beach House at Face Rock. The amenities are excellent and we look forward to returning next year. The week doesn't hold enough days when your busy looking for mushrooms, crabbing and golfing.
Glad the furnace was working for us.
December 04
We had a great week. Thank you very much for everything. It was very windy and rainy but we had three days without rain. We probably will stay hear again.
