A-Frame Wilderness View Cabin
Magical Mountaintop
We had the most wonderful time staying at Mel's mountaintop retreat. Each morning we woke up to songbirds singing and deer grazing just outside the window. Mel was very helpful and recommended places we could eat and get coffee while we were in the area. Knowing there would be a fire pit from the listing, I messaged Mel before we arrived and he had a fire ready for us when we got there. The view from the top was gorgeous and the drive up to the property had stunning views of the lake as well. All in all it was a fantastic adventure and we would stay again in the future. Thank you Mel!

A-Frame Wilderness View Cabin

Very cool spot! The location is great with solitude yet easy access to necessities and plenty of recreation opportunities. Mel is an awesome Host; hospitable yet respectful of privacy. The property offers many trails to explore and check out Nature. The cabin is very nice and comfortable with a great view of hills to the south. Also, the southern exposure is nice as there is plenty of Sun to bask in on the large deck. Restroom is clean and private even though one gets to enjoy the open air at the same time. I highly recommend visiting and meeting Mel as I believe it would be a memorable experience.

This place is outstanding. Our expectations were exceeded! Mel was a wonderful host. He made us feel welcome and safe. We arrived at around 8pm (later than we thought we would). This was no problem for Mel. He was there and ready to greet us, he even gifted us 6 fresh farm eggs. Yea Mel!
Highly recommended

Wilderness Tent Sites
Great location for Oregon coast activities and an awesome host. Mel went above and beyond the call of duty including moving me into the A frame when the rain came. All the camp sites are beautiful and private and easily accessible.. The A frame is a real treat and I was lucky enough to experience it in the rain and then with a clear sky where you can gaze up into the stars from the comfort of the bed.

Choose Tent site 1 for a view
Great host, very private. You need AWD if it’s wet. Tent site 1 is like the penthouse. Site 2 is like the den in the woods in the dark. I didn’t realize this, so was a bit disappointed to be in the dark under trees, but the privacy and blackberries made up for that a bit.

Lake summer sojourn in Lakeside
Really enjoyed staying in the secluded wooded campsite #3 at Mel's. The sites are set well apart from one another, and ours had a nice view across a wooded valley. Mel wasn't there when we arrived but was able to direct us to our site over the phone. The site had a couple of chairs and a picnic table and a fire ring, though there was a burn ban so we did not light a fire. We appreciated that Mel had thoughtfully put up a tarp to keep the tent pad dry. This is a nice base camp for exploring the OR Dunes and south on the coast.
