About this property

OTTER COVE sits 20 feet from the lake with trout fishing (stocked lake)with the lake on two sides. Port Orford is a small town of about 1500 and is the oldest town site on the southern Oregon Coast and is the the most westerly town in the lower 48 states. The ocean is about 1500 feet to the west and is easy access by car.

Newly remodeled kitchen and dining room and new laundry room summer of 2021. New living room carpeting spring 2021. Remodeling in progress.
A normal day is to have some deer drop over to eat on the lawn, otters playing in the lake or on the dock or grass, ducks, geese, loons and some turtles a few Ospreys getting their lunch and even a bald eagle or two. You might see the foxes walk by or the local Bobcat. The crows will entertain you and steal anything they can outside. No close neighbors and a great view of our small arm of the lake and great fishing for trout and pike. OTTER COVE is not fancy but loved for it's cozy charm.

Location, location, location!!!!

This home is private, quiet, and perfect for a quick family trip. The Pros, the lake is the star of the show here, the views are spectacular, the weather is beautiful in June and the rooms are good sized. Now the cons, The home defiantly needs a good cleaning, we ended up sweeping the bedrooms since the dust and dirt was sticking to our feet. The exterior of the home needs some love/ maintenance, there was dust and cobwebs in the rooms/ on the exterior of the home. Overall would recommend just wish it was cleaner.

Beautiful property

The property was very beautiful. Bedrooms needed to be cleaned, we cleaned under the beds and knocked down the spider webs before we could sleep. Several spiders were vacuumed up. Furniture needed to be upgraded, in my opinion. Front porch light was hanging by a wire, host was notified. Enjoyed our stay very much!

Cozy in a great location

This house could not be in a better location. You are right next to the lake which is perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. We saw so much wildlife in the cove in which the house is situated It is, also, just a short drive or walk to the beach. The house is a rustic cabin with comfy furniture and large bedrooms. If you want a quiet and cozy vacation this is a great house for you.

Garrison Lake, serenity.

The bay windows in the bedroom, living room and kitchen allowed us a prime view of the lake, a few feet from the house. Each had sitting cushions from which you could read and enjoy the morning sun. We watched deer, raccoons, golden mantled ground squirrels and myriad birds including osprey. This home is definitely a getaway--the pace of life here is undeni

LOVED THIS PLACE

This place was perfect for us. So perfect we decided to change our wedding location from Cape Blanco to here! Beautiful views of the lake! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The pellet stove kept the place warm! Very comfortable beds and couches. We hope to return again! The only negative was the dock was broken. Otherwise the dogs had a blast!

Wonderful relaxing lakeside property

This was our third time in this home, and every visit was a treat. The property is beautiful and peaceful, and fishing and boating on the lake are very relaxing. The home is very comfortable and has been outfitted with everything a family of many generations could ask for in the way of entertainment. An additional bonus is that it is dog-friendly, which is one of our primary requirements for rental homes. We couldn't ask for more!

Christmas getaway

My husband and I took our children as a surprise the morning after Christmas to the ocean. Being right next to the lake was a bonus. We brought fishing poles and they caught some! The house was very homey and comfortable sleeping my family easily. The kitchen was well stocked so we could prepare meals with ease. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Great location

Otter Cove is tucked away on the shores of Garrison Lake and is a very short drive to the beach or town. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well provisioned, and the living room ample with a full-on view of the lake.

Home on the lake

Home is in process of remodeling. Insects were regular visitors. The home is not sealed up at all entrances so they do come in. The home is located on the lake with a dock that is unfortunately broken. The kids found many salamanders in the water. The home and needs were comfortable.

Beautiful location

My husband and I and our two dogs enjoyed our stay. You couldn’t be closer to the beautiful lake and we had excellent weather. Local hikes and stroll on the beach, puzzles and yummy local food were great. The beds were good and the house appears to be mid renovation but it didn’t disrupt our stay.

Peaceful stay in a Beautiful Spot

Our family stayed here for the second time and had a wonderful time. The spot is so quiet and serene, with lakefront views from large windows off of the living room, one bedroom, and dinning area. We spent a lot of our time just relaxing on the comfy couches and chairs and looking out at the view, watching birds go by and fish jump. There were a lots of puzzles provided and we did many of them while enjoying the view and the quiet. There were lots of fish in the lake and our 6-year-old and his father spent a day fishing right off the backyard grassy area, and caught some large trout! We also brought our own inflatable boat and enjoyed paddling around the lake enjoying the scenery as well. We took a couple of little day trips while we were there and some walks around town, but the house was so comfy and relaxing that we spent a lot of our time just enjoying the peaceful setting. We saw an otter in the lake one day, and deer in the front yard. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had all the appliances we needed and a fair number of spices and staples. There were lots of little touches that made us feel that the home is cared for and the guest experience is important, and little extras like crayons and coloring books for kids, and lots of books and DVDs. We felt quite at-home here and had a wonderful time. We hope to be back one day!
