Beautiful home by the river and very close to beaches!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, spacious home! The hot tub was lovely and the kitchen was wonderfully large and well stocked with cookware and spices! It was a great place to relax with our pups and was conveniently close to shops and Manzanita beach. Would be happy to stay again!

Beautiful home with a stunning view and close to the beaches! The only issue we encountered was with the hot water - on the morning we left, we only had cold water for showers. I informed Ted so hopefully the issue’s been resolved.

Piece of heaven

My friends and I loved our stay on the Nehalem River. It felt very private, relaxing, and cozy. We were within 45 minutes of all the places we wanted to go to other than the airport and Multnomah falls which made it a great experience as well. The hot tub was a huge win for us, we spent each evening of it soaking in the hot tub laughing, relaxing, and enjoying the view. I would recommend this place to everyone wanting to stay on the Oregon Coast.

Birthday weekend

Spent the weekend with some great friends from Montana and enjoyed the beautiful house on the river. The hot tub was great and we were sad to leave once our visit was over. Overall great house, I grew up staying at my grandparents house in wheeler where they always had everything you needed and this house felt just like that, warm and comfortable

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

This home on the river is a great place to unwind and enjoy a beautiful view. It has a homey feel and you can tell it is loved by the owners. Drinking coffee on the deck in the morning, enjoying the hot tub and visiting nearby Manzanita were some of our highlights!

Very nice place for my family. Kids and adults…We went to the beach, we took the kayak into the river, used the hot tub, and sat on the porch. My nephew went fishing off the property and caught his first fish. My niece sat in the fluffy chair upstairs and watched a movie and said she felt like a queen in the big house. Nice open concept for family and kids had fun. Hot water went out the first night, but was fixed the next day. I took one star off the accuracy because the grill outside wasn’t clean to use. We tried cleaning it. I don’t want that to take away from the pretty and fun house though. I just wouldn’t have had brought bbq. Also it’s an easy fix. I guess I’m saying there is a lot to do or you can just hang on the porch and relax… which made it great for all ages. House had everything we needed and bedrooms were quiet and comfortable.

Very relaxing

Great place to stay. Spent two weeks there during the summer. Sat on the deck and watched the boats go by on the river. Watched the deer graze in the meadow across the street. Enjoyed the local flavor, especially Wanda’s and Buttercup. Short drive to the beach at Manzanita. 5 stars.

Relaxation Time

We had a very relaxing, fun time with family and friends. The house had everything we needed. A flyer was left telling about a Jazz festival at a local winery. We went and had a great time, it was just down the road. We even did a little fishing but nothing was biting, but we still had fun. Beautiful home with everything you need!

Perfect Getaway

The Gibson House is a wonderful family getaway spot. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Thoroughly enjoyed the location and amenities. The house was clean, comfy beds and beautiful location. Hope to visit this location again. Only thing we did notice there was only one wash cloth between the two bathrooms. We made do but may want to consider adding more. Other than that perfect.

What an Amazing Place!

We arrive on Friday and we’re immediately blown away. To be honest, the pictures don’t do it justice. We held our wedding here and there was plenty of space and parking. The water was beautiful, the lush greenery was perfect. Ted was a great host, very helpful, quick to reply to questions. We definitely plan to return!

Christmas vacation stay on the coast.

Thank you Ted for allowing us to rent this most amazing and stunning home on the Nehalem river. He has provided everything someone may need while staying there. My spouse, three children, my sister and I all spent a week here during the 2024 Christmas holiday season while visiting the coast to see our family. He went above and beyond to make sure we were all accommodated for. There was a power outage due to a storm and he communicated with us all the updates from the electric company about when the outage would be back on. We were also able to host our Christmas dinner there at this home. Thank you Ted for making this a Christmas that we will cherish for many years.

Wonderful getaway on the Oregon coast

It doesn’t get much better than the Gibson house! The house was beautiful, well stocked, clean, and comfortable. We loved sitting in the deck (often in the hot tub) just watching the river. So peaceful. An eagle was perched in the tree by the driveway -very cool to see him flying to the river to catch fish!! Ted is great and helped us with all our questions. Manzanita Beach is a 5-min drive away with some great cafes and restaurants. Don’t even think twice - you’ll be so happy you booked this house!

Beautiful House on Nahalem River

We stayed with another family and had a fantastic time! Every morning, we savored the river view while soaking in the hot tub, creating a perfect start to the day. In the evening, we enjoyed the fireplace while watching movies. We shared memorable memories with our fellow guests during our stay. Ted’s prompt responsiveness to our questions enhanced the experience. The house is impeccably stocked, ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay. We're already looking forward to planning our next visit!

Great view and overall value

I had my son, husband, and some family visiting from Australia and the U.K. with me. We enjoyed the superb view and tranquil setting; the lovely interior, the home decor, the well-stocked kitchen; and access to streaming platforms. I would give this property the highest rating except that we had an issue with the upstairs bathroom and some furniture needed dusting. The owner, Ted was quick to respond with text. We forgot a couple of things, and he graciously informed us so we could pick them up later. Overall, our family greatly enjoyed our time here.

Great family vacation!

We loved the house and the property! It was kid friendly, dog friendly, and grandparent friendly all at the same time. We loved the unique features of the house - the wood ceilings, nice fixtures, and solid furniture. The added touches for convenience and luxury were nice as well - we played games, flipped through magazines and books, and used the kayak with our dog. Our kids loved swimming in the river and collecting shells and rocks at low tide. The hot tub was a big hit for all of us! Peaceful mornings with bald eagles flying overhead. We definitely would stay here again. Thanks, Ted!

Retreat on the River

We cannot say enough positive things about this property. The views are wonderful and the area is quiet and peaceful. The house is very comfortable and Ted has thought of everything you will need while staying there. There are games and puzzles for evenings and lots of outdoor seating for dining. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking indoors and there were implements for the gas grill as well. The house was in a great location for day trips to area sites. For anyone wanting to taste some great local wine, try visiting Nehalem Winery. And we found everything we could possibly need for making evening meals at Manzanita Fresh Foods, including a nice selection of wines and organic produce. If we travel to the area again, we will definitely look to see if the Gibson House is available. Thank you Ted for such a lovely place to visit!
