About this property
Below the Falls Lodge - Next to Golden & Silver Falls
Relax and revive in this artistic 'cabin' with wonderful views of historic Glenn Creek from every room. An architectural dream, you enter this lodge style home through a pivoting hobbit style front door with hardware from the 1800's. Highlights of this original home include a gourmet kitchen with labradorite granite counters, 800 year old juniper tree spiral stair case, huge beams and exposed rafters, a sauna, and a romantic wood stove. Also each upstairs bedroom has a hanging bed with three 8 foot skylights above for indoor star gazing. Original artworks from local artists are throughout the home. Many pleasantries await the curious such as embedded fossils in the cracked mud walls. Nestled amongst towering fir and cedar trees, with windows everywhere, you'll feel and see nature's presence. This home site has a remarkably peaceful way about it.
Recently featured in Southern Oregon Magazine and KCBY 11 TV's ~In Focus~ 'Goin' Green' and Oregon's Solar Home Tour, this is a unique 'green' home. This home was built with environmentally friendly materials. Building with little impact on the surroundings was very important to us during construction. The myrtle hardwood floor in the kitchen and living room was milled on site which came from trees that stood where the house is now. Same storey for the beautiful maple flooring in the ½ bath. All of the large beams and fir flooring came from two 4' thick 104 year old douglas fir trees which also stood and were milled where the house is now. The fir trees sprouted after the last forest fire that came through the canyon. One of our neighbors fell a sixty five year old redwood that was over six feet thick! We used some of it as a wonderful wainscot panelling throughout the house. All of the finishes used are no or low VOC. Surrounding the house is native vegetation, huge trees and a few herbs and spices for cooking.
You'll enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with labradorite granite counters. The kitchen island has a new five burner gas stove with a convection oven and warming oven. The island has plenty of granite and wood counter space. Hanging from the exhaust hood are stainless, non-stick, and cast iron cookware. We also provide shade grown fair trade coffee and a grinder, espresso machine, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, utensils, chef knives, glasses and frosty cocktail glasses in the freezer. The dining room table has a river view and can seat six comfortably. There is also seating for three at the island bar. From the kitchen you can visit with the folks in the living room thanks to the open floor plan. Beside the wood stove are two chairs and the futon couch with reading lamp. A CD changer, TV with a DVD player and VHS machine are in the downstairs bedroom. Bring your favourite videos or browse our selection of films.
The property has 150 feet of creek frontage with great views of Glenn creek, the forest and distant cliffs. Enjoy wildlife viewing with River Dippers, Chipmunks, Kingfishers, Great Blue Herons, Screech Owls, Pileated Wood Peckers, Elk, an occasional Bald Eagle or River Otter and other wildlife from the house and back deck. Build a fire and have lunch on the nearby picnic table and benches.

Couldn’t have been more impressed! Absolutely loved the house and everything it has to offer. Having everything thing we needed while being away from the public was a dream. My children and dog absolutely loved the creek and being able to enjoy the forest while us adults enjoyed the break from technology and being able to slow down a bit. Can’t wait to return!
This lodge is magical!!! If you love nature this is a must visit. Once you step out of your car it’s time to relax. Take a steam in the sauna and run to the creek to cool off. Take a nap in the swing bed. Don’t forget your fishing gear lots of places to fishing or charter a crabbing boat for $100 a person in Winchester Bay.
For years I’ve said I was going to find a quiet place away from fireworks for the fourth so my dogs don’t suffer. This definitely fit the bill. Didn’t hear a single firework, just the quiet of the forest. The place is beautiful, well appointed (especially the kitchen) beds are comfortable, everything was perfect. It was hot but the house stayed cool. Creek and falls are beautiful too. Google maps worked all the way to the house. Truly beautiful place. I’ll be back!
This property is an off the grid HEAVEN!! You start by entering through a beautiful glass hobbit style door. You find a whimsical cabin that is fully stocked with literally anything and everything you might need or want. The skylights in the bedrooms mixed with the swinging beds and the sound of the creek outside your windows makes you feel like you are sleeping in the trees. The falls are a short distance away and beautiful. The river was fun to fish (we ate fresh steelhead one night!) The wood burning stove is cozy and warm and heats the entire place. There is a TV with plenty of movies but we chose to be screen free. The circular staircase wrapped around a tree and the suspension hallway is gorgeous. It is the perfect place to escape, relax and recharge. Thank you for creating and sharing it with the world!
Happily surprised with stocked organic coffee, foil, garbage bags etc. not common in rentals these days. It’s obvious the hosts care about the property and the people who rent. No complaints.
Beautiful property, quirky fun cabin with an obvious creative DIY plan and touch.
Watched ducky waddle butts and piglets on the road. Saw eagles, numerous impressive hawks, donkeys, elk, geese, does, fawns, bucks etc.
Absolutely loved that it has no Wi-Fi or cell service.
Disconnect here if you like quarks, wildlife, moss, the sound is running water and living like we used too (no dumb phone service or internet!)
We will return.
Also loved Loved the story about the build out of the property as well. Congratulations to you both!
Thanks so much.
-The Jenkinsons and our friends.
This was such a relaxing 2 days! The home is fully stocked with blankets, towels, cleaning, kitchen has NICE cookware, real plates utensils, silverware etc. Most common condiments are in frig and sugar flower etc under cupboard. Nice to light a fire, it was my first and great instructions with supplies all that is needed is there but paper products packaging plates and bags are great to help start the fire. There was no cell service, no internet but that is temporary. I liked that technology was off grid experience. Use their directions to get there its easier than it seems! The beds are fun feels like floating down the river. An adventure in its self! The windows open was like sleeping under the stars and by the river hearing 100% nature. I just loved it. I will go back maybe for special occaision.
Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook like at home... loved this touch! Made things so nice for the family to cook meals and enjoy this lovely property!
We loved the property view, peaceful and beautiful. It was an hour away though from town, which was my error when booking. We'd like to see the property in Summer and would come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was beautifully rustic with incredible craftsmanship throughout. The remote setting was peaceful and tranquil, making it the perfect getaway. We loved exploring the trails and discovering the waterfall nearby. The unique beds swinging from ropes were such a fun touch, and spending evenings under the stars made it unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene and memorable experience!
Such a beautiful place to stay with lots to do! We went in the creek multiple times, sauna, hammock, and hiked the falls. I can tell how much love they put into this place because there is artistry put into every detail. A true hidden gem in the woods.
Below the Falls lodge is the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, and it's easy to unwind in this beautiful lodge. Shane, the owner, gives excellent directions and recommendations for the Coos Bay area.
The lodge itself is private and gorgeous, with comfy furniture, elements of nature throughout, and nestled right next to a creek. The beds are suspended by rope, which made me a little dizzy at first, but I quickly grew to love the gentle sway lulling me to sleep.
There's a sauna on site, though a lot of the words on the knobs are rubbed off, so you have to be creative figuring out how to use it (wi-fi+picture+ChatGPT helped us get there easily enough). Lots of outdoor seating, and a firepit perfect for s'mores under the stars.
The kitchen is stocked with any pot, pan, or gizmo you'll need. A lot of basic condiments and tools on property as well. Definitely stock up on food in Coos Bay before you go as there are no grocery stores close by.
Washer and dryer, with soap, available in the garage.
The drive is mostly paved, except for the last few miles are on gravel. Just take it slow and know you're going in the right direction.
A relaxing place to spend time with family; would certainly come again.
The home is very beautiful and the property has several nice options to sit and enjoy nature. It is slightly more rustic inside than I expected, with very light doors in bathrooms (just means not much privacy visually or for sounds) and lots of creaking and cracking while walking around. Again-this is not an issue if it doesn’t make you uncomfortable! I loved the idea of the hanging beds and they are absolutely great-but if you can’t go on a park swing without getting dizzy (like me) you might not enjoy them. There is a decent amount of whole bed movement with just turning over in bed. We didn’t do our research on how far out the lodge was and that’s no fault of the property obviously, but I personally felt it wasn’t close enough to Coos Bay to be considered a place to stay while visiting that area. It took a solid 45 minutes for us to get there. We also did not have the wifi or phone access (due to maintenance the host didn’t have previous warning of) and cell and satellite are not available. If you are going out there for multiple days and plan for no other trips in/out out it would be great. Host was lovely and helpful.
This place probably doesn’t even need one more fantastic review but it does deserve one.What our family (mom, dad, and four children ages 18-23) loved: Beauty and love- it is so apparent this home was lovingly crafted- the love in the details of every square inch literally reaches out to hug you. Each area makes you feel like you are one with the forest right outside. You can hear the creek that runs through the “back yard” (a seemingly bug-free forest) when you’re inside- and if you love nature as much as we do, that’s perfection you can’t find just anywhere.Some mentioned the swinging beds being problematic but we loved them- they felt soothing and peaceful.There were burning restrictions so we couldn’t have a fire but we were happy to grill on the deck and, as others mentioned, the extremely well-stocked kitchen was super appreciated. It is waaaay out and not near any provisions- we’d done our homework and packed everything we could need, so this didn’t trip us up. The only thing to be aware of is that while there is a futon and a pull-out couch, neither of those options would be good for someone with a bad back. If you’ve got old codgers in your group they will need to sleep in one of the beds for sure.We spent a whole week exploring Oregon and this was nights three and four of our stay- several of us enjoyed the time here as the best time of the entire trip- and we all had great fun hiking and climbing around the falls nearby.Thanks for the dreamy stay
The house was unique and located in a beautiful area next to creek that brought so much joy to the kids as they explored the wilderness. Loved the cleanliness and spacious of the home. The staircase with the tree in the middle was very cool. The swimming beds were loved by the kids but for us adults it felt a bit like being on a boat when trying to sleep but overall a cool experience.

Perfect weekend retreat!
The cabin and surrounding area was absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway. It was raining our entire stay, but that actually made our time even more enjoyable. We loved laying in the hanging bed listening to the rain hit the sky lights. Definitely visit Golden and Silver Falls. The walk along the creek is beautiful. Also, this was by far the most well equipped kitchen we've ever had in a rental which is very refreshing since we love to cook. We hope to stay again in the future!
