We enjoyed our stay during a nice Oregon Coast storm. The location is perfect for a short walk to the beach. It is also very private and secluded. The house is well stocked with many things to do. Lot's of board games, books, cd's and kitchen. We enjoyed cooking on the grill and sitting in front of a cozy fire each night and soaking in a huge hot tub. No need to venture out while in the comfort of Rivendell. Loved all the candles. Like the pet friendliness and the ease of booking our stay. The owner's of the home have a nice way of making you feel very welcome. We'll be back again.

Comment Text: This house was a wonderful beach
get away. We have two very small children [3 and
under] the value was great and everyone could have
their own room. The layout of the house was
perfect as we could keep an eye on the children
from anywhere. Short walks to town and to the
beach saved daddy's shoulders.
The home owners are a pleasure to deal with. We
especially liked the "booklet" we received from
them in advance outlining the area and it's
offerrings ex:hikes, restaurants.....We can't wait to
return to this cozy little home. |

This is the best house I've ever rented on the oregon coast. It's less than a block away from a beautiful, huge, sugar-sand beach and close to several amazing state parks. The house has a super nice giant hot tub in a cool wood hut on the deck. There is also a glass front wood stove which made the evenings very cozy.
We found several good restaurants in the area and the shopping in manzanita was surprisingly interesting. There aren't that many stores but they are all full of inexpensive, beautiful, unique, local handcrafts - jewelry, knitting, stained glass, painting, pottery, etc. It seems many Manzanita residents are artists, and the town has a laid-back, fun personality.
The owners of this rental were easy to deal with. It is also the least expensive house very near the beach that I found - and I did a lot of research. This place worked great for me, my parents and my child - it is very family friendly, but it also had a lot of romantic touches and I am dreaming of going back there for a week with my husband!

| 5 houses to the sand! Quiet neighborhood, beautiful interior, close to town and town was great! Hot tub was huge although it takes a while to warm up. I would recommend this house to everyone. A great value! |

| My husband and I spent five days here celebrating our 10th anniversary and we couldnt have asked for a better location or more romantic lodging. The dark woodwork , warm lighting and beautiful stained glass windows gave it a cozy glow and kept us warm and dry even during the near-hurricane strength storm that blew through on the second night. The location is awesome for beach walks, state park bike/horseback rides or energizing walks into town for espresso and yummy well-deserved baked goods. Throw into this mix the biggest hot-tub I've ever seen and you have a recipe for relaxation!! |

| My wife and I have stayed in five different houses in Manzanita over the past 6 years and so far this property was the best experience we've had, from the cozy warmth from the fireplace (wood stove actually) to the oversize enclosed spa, we really relaxed and came away feeling refreshed. We hope to return for another visit next year. |

| The beach house was perfect for our family gathering. We loved the quiet, light, bright feel of the house which had a wonderful rustic feel to it. Perfectly located, just a short walk to the beautiful wide open beach, or to town. Great for long walks and we enjoyed a nice loop from the beach through Nehalem State Park (campground) and back to the house. Hot tub is a nice bonus, and I would note that while this house does not have a television, we did not miss it one bit! (we did miss a dishwasher however) ;) We hope to return again- best deal for fully equipped house in Manzanita! |

| Rivendell is the perfect name for this enchanting beach house. White, powdery sand beach is is nothing short of spectacular. All the conveniences of home, without the nuisance of TV or traffic! Open the windows and drift off to dreamland with the lullabye of the waves on the nearby beach, and the wind whispering through the trees on the property. Be as relaxed or energetic as you like. Not hard to tell how much we enjoyed our stay is it? |

| My wife and I spent 9 wonderful days at this cabin retreat. The beach was white, the weather was beautiful (but bring a sweater), and the cabin was cozy and warm. Everything we needed was there, and the hot tub was great! We simply fell in love with Manzanita and the Oregon coast. Highly recommend this cabin! |

| This place was very comfortable for our family. We loved the candle light glowing in the evenings throughout the home. Everything we needed was right there from bikes in the garage to a well equiped kitchen for that huge crab feed. If you are looking for some quality family time, look no further. On the hottest weekend of the summer, when other beaches were super crowded, the one a short walk from this cottage had only a few people on it. We want to go back to this place again. I must admit, I do feel guilty telling you about this hide-away! It's like one of the Oregon coast's best kept secrets. Shhhh... ;) |
