Photos and Description of the Neskowin vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 1 bedroom, 1bath (sleeps 2)

Listen to the quiet…

This year-round retreat is totally private with magnificent 180-degree views. A west and south-facing deck overlooks sunsets, the ocean and miles of forest. Newly built in 2011, we have furnished this cozy but contemporary 1 bedroom, 1 bath home as a comfortable getaway. It is located 300 feet above the valley floor, with southern exposure. Three sides of windows and decks show off a view from many vantage points. It is likely the most elegant “tree house” you have ever seen.

This is the place where you will remember what peacefulness feels like. You may be so 'busy' looking out the windows while curled up on the couch, watching the morning sun peek though the trees, the sun set over the ocean, the moon coming through the skylight while soaking in the claw foot tub, star gazing from bed....that you never quite make it down to the beach. Make the Green Flash Cabin your destination for Savoring Silence.

Sunset Magazine recommended our cabin in the September 2012 edition, 'The Call of the Oregon Coast.'

Keep in mind that the location of this cabin is one mile east of Hwy 101, sitting up high along a valley that has few residents. It has a one-lane gravel road that used to be a logging road - it cannot be found by GPS. If this sounds too remote for you, then you may want to be closer in to town. But if it sounds appealing, it is honestly just fantastic. It is two miles to the beach.

This is a retreat destination, without the ammenities of a microwave, WiFi or cable TV (although 3G access is very good). However, we do have a state-of-the-art stove, with touch-sensor commands. In addition, there is a dishwasher, electric coffee maker and toaster. While in the kitchen you are surrounded by views of miles of unspoiled wilderness.

The 'Green Flash' is an atmospheric phenomenon that, when the conditions are just right, you will actually see a very bright lime green flash - similar to a light bulb flash - right at the moment when the sun drops below the horizon at sunset. I have seen this only once during my time at the coast. It was truly memorable...

Just a 5-minute drive to the village of Neskowin, you’ll be far from the beach shops and boardwalks of larger beach towns. In Neskowin you will find one golf course, one grocery store, one art gallery and one wonderful café – the only commercial businesses. Enjoy 7 miles of gorgeous beach walking, evening bonfires, surfing, skim boarding and tide pool exploring. Within a beautiful 10-mile drive is Pacific City, where there are numerous fun shops, galleries, restaurants, a surf shop, another wide and walkable beach, plus the tide pools and hiking of unique Cape Kiwanda.

This beautiful part of the north/central Oregon Coast is just a two-hour drive southwest of Portland, between Lincoln City and Pacific City, north of Cascade Head.

Check out Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, a most wonderful facility located along the south side of Cascade Head. They offer a wide array of classes and workshops all summer. (about a 7- mile drive)

About Stephanie Wiarda

After living in Neskowin for 13 years, I moved to Portland with my family in 1991. Currently, I am a Principal Real Estate Broker with Windermere CCRG. I love my job, gardening, kayaking, spending time with my dogs, and taking off for a few days at the coast.

Stephanie Wiarda purchased this cabin in 2011
Why Stephanie Wiarda chose Neskowin

Neskowin is a small, special place that has changed little in the 30 years since I lived in and now visit the area. It is quaint, friendly, relaxed, has headlands, a long beach, eagles, majestic forests, hiking trails....everything you would want in a coast village.

What makes this cabin unique

Time, quiet, privacy, beauty, nature, peace, sunsets, tidepools, elk, deer, eagles, reading on the deck, dozing on the couch, walking on the beach. Time, quiet, privacy.

It is a 5-minute drive to the beach and village where there is one cafe, one small store, and access to the beach. Keep your eyes peeled for seals in the surf and sand dollars on the beach. I even found a whale vertebrae in the sand a few years ago!

A Wonderful Hideaway with Inspiring Views

5 of 5
Submitted: April 25, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
A well described and maintained retreat cabin. Excellent owner communication and directions. Wonderful placement of windows providing views of surroundings on three sides. If you hit it lucky, there'll be sunshine on decks morning, noon and evening. Interior casually classy. We would recommend this place to people who would love nature's peace in a quiet treed valley, the sounds of a stream if the winds are right and ever-changing ocean views. Plenty of variation in beach and restaurant exploration within a 15 mile radius. Closest beach just five minutes away. A definite recommend.
Owner's Response: Anytime a guest "gets it" as you have, it just makes me extremely happy. Thank you!

AMAZING CABIN!!!

Submitted: April 9, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Words can not explain our stay in this amazing little cabin. It was perfect! It fair exceeded my expectations, everything was even more beautiful than the pictures. The cabin was clean & well maintained. The views from all around the cabin are breathtaking. We picked up food in Lincoln City, so we didn't have to leave the cabin if we didn't want to. We didn't even have to pick up water because the drinking water from the tap was delicious! Stephanie was excellent as well. She included information on near by hikes that were well worth our time! We just regret not staying maybe just another night longer. We will definitely be back soon!
Oh, and make sure to bring plenty of bath salts! I will dream of that bathtub!
Owner's Response: Thank you so so much. I am so pleased when I hear such wonderful comments. Please do come again.

Romantic Relaxing Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: March 20, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The Green Flash Cabin surpassed our expectations!! The home is beautiful with a great view from every window in the house. We packed plenty of food so we didn't have to leave the home unless we wanted to. Which we did end up hiking The Cape Kiwanda sand dune, which was 10 minutes south of the house.We took full advatage of the deck from morning coffee to evening wine. I also packed plenty of bath salts for soaking in the bathtub. We had a wonderful weekend!! It was hard to come home back to reality. I would recommend The Green Flash Cabin to all my family and friends, but I also think I might be keeping it a secret. :)
Owner's Response: We are so happy that it was a great experience for you both!

Relaxing Reading Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: December 31, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
My husband and I spent three nights at the Green Flash Cabin during December and loved it. The cabin is secluded (only a couple of homes are viewable in the distance) and very peaceful. We enjoyed the wonderful views of the trees and ocean from all parts of the cabin. Everything we needed was there...really no need to leave, although we enjoyed a nice walk on the surrounding logging roads. Most of our getaways involve doing lots of sightseeing; it was nice to just stay put and catch up on reading. We would highly recommend the Green Flash Cabin for a relaxing weekend!

Relaxing retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: December 12, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
This retreat offers a place of calm to get away from technology and enjoy a simplistic and serene setting. The bathing tub was especially nice, looking out over the forest, and the view from the beach while laying in bed in the morning was peaceful. Highly recommend this as a romantic getaway, with opportunities to cook meals, read, rest and enjoy some quiet time, just minutes away from the charming Neskowin beach.

Quite small treehouse

4 of 5
Submitted: November 21, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
This was a nice updated, but minimalist cabin with a nice electric fireplace. It has a beautiful view and you can see the ocean over the tree tops. Missed that there was no microwave, but we managed OK. The rest of the kitchen was great, especially the view. You feel like you are in a tree house. The bathroom was nicely finished with a great clawfooted tube, wonderful. The bed was OK if you like memory foam mattressed beds, we are not fans, but managed. The drive up to the cabin was wonderfull, but once you leave the main road you are on gravel, potholes, one lane, and up hill; but do not let this stop you. It is very do able in a car just take it slow. The cabin has a good area to turn your car around so you can pull out of the driveway when you leave. This cabin is worth the effort to get up to it. We survied a heavy rain and wind storm and never lost power, very impressed. I would book this cabin again, just bring you own hot spot for internet, 3G was picked up easily. Bring your food, books, DVD's and enjoy the great peace and quite.

Great getaway cabin

5 of 5
Submitted: October 30, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We stayed two nights at the Green Flash cabin. The highlights of the cabin itself were the large windows looking out onto gorgeous forest and ocean views in the upstairs bedroom, the big tub, and the deck on the main floor, which is perfect for relaxing while looking out over the forest. There's also a great selection of DVDs and CDs to watch if you're looking for something to do. It is a perfect cabin for a couple's getaway.

Stephanie provided great customer service - it was easy to book the cabin and complete the contract, she was very helpful when we had a minor problem on our arrival day, and little touches like the local hikes book made our stay that much better. Although we didn't go into Neskowin itself, we did enjoy our hike to Hart's Cove.

We had a great getaway and would definitely return to this cabin, and will recommend it to friends.
Owner's Response: Thank you, thank you! I really love to please our guests!

My husband and I had three glorious days at the Green Flash. The peace and quiet was exactly what we were looking for. The weather was wonderful, temps in the low 70’s. Never in my life have I seen a night sky filled with so many stars. It was breathtaking. The views in every direction are beautiful. We spent our days exploring the coast to the north and south and our evenings relaxing in a very comfortable setting. Definitely worth a return trip in the future.
