This was the perfect place for our long awaited family reunion. We have a big family, I have five siblings and there are five grand children. My father and mother reserved this home along with the detached guest house and we had the best time. The main part of the house where the living room, dining area, and kitchen are, were perfect for the family gatherings. The kitchen is huge with big, high end appliances and was put to good use by our family’s three gourmet cooks.
When the noise and confusion of our fun became too much it was easy for someone to retreat to the library or guest house for some quite time.
The view of the coast line was spectacular and the online pictures do not do it justice. We came after Thanksgiving and had some stormy weather but when the sun came out, and we headed down to the beach. Cannon Beach is a fun town for everyone, there is always something to do, rain or shine. There are a lot of nice restaurants to choose from as well.
One morning my 7 year old daughter came running in from the front deck, “Mom, come out here”, her eyes as big as saucers. I grabbed my morning coffee and headed out. There on the front lawn was a herd of elk with the Oregon Coast in the background! They didn’t seem afraid so we watched them in the quiet misty morning. It was magical. After a while though, word got out and cousins, and aunts and uncles, and grandparents began to filter out. Once the elk saw they were out numbered they drifted back into the forest and just in time, I began to smell bacon frying in the house.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we are all going back for my brothers wedding next year, it
-was immaculately clean
-is well kept
