Paradise Cabin on Tenmile Lake

Had a wonderful stay. Family really enjoyed it. The house is comfortable and the dock is nice. The kids stayed most of time on the dock swimming. Fishing is good right from the dock. Caught my limit of trout everyday we were there.

Very sweet cabin on a quiet cove on the lake. Easy boat access with a Pontoon from Ringo's (They were really nice). Wonderful, private, quiet property with nice land for us and our dogs to run and swim. Cabin itself is a cool, cozy tri-level layout, perfect for our group of 4 humans and 2 dogs. Comfortable king mattress (thank you, I'm aging). I can't honestly say I would change a thing. Just wonderful authentic cabin lake living. Host was awesome, flexible, shifted our stay a day for us last minute (Thank you!), and gave us a mellow late checkout. The negative? I had to leave and go back to the real world.

I cannot review the property as we had to cancel our stay. I can review the communication issues with the host. Communication with the host was difficult. The night before our stay the host communicated there were cats on the property, which did not work for us, this was not disclosed beforehand. We requested information about how to rent the kayaks if we wanted to, not to rent them. A charge was added to our stay for kayak rentals. When we had to cancel we asked for a partial refund, for example, the cleaning fee seems reasonable to refund as we did not stay, thus no cleaning was required. Instead, she offered to reschedule, to which we replied we would be open to rescheduling but it would be years away, so not right now, and again asked about a partial refund. Instead, she initiated a 'hold for reschedule charge'. I called VRBO immediately, spoke with them and this property manager on the phone. The property manager said she would not charge us the hold for reschedule fee because it was for someone else. The property manager also verbally agreed to refund the kayak rental fee and would consider a partial refund. We did not receive a refund for the kayaks as verbally stated. We were charged a fee for rescheduling, again, against the verbal agreement not to. At this point I would not take the word of this host to be trustworthy. I would recommend against anyone doing business with them.

Rustic and whimsical We had a beautiful relaxing four days here. The cabin is well appointed. Thoughtful touches abound if you bring your dog. From the dog feeding station to the little ramp out of the water an

just rite.having a lake house is work

Everything about the stay was great except we had no hot water and no dryer. But the rest was priceless paradise. ..

This property is an oasis from a crazy world. Accessible only by boat and situated on a quiet inlet, we were forced to take a deep breath and do nothing. The cabin is a well loved home and abounds with family memorabilia. If you are looking for a swanky, sterile, turn- key property this is NOT it. This is comfortable and well appointed. It has a dock, fire pits, great kitchen, resident deer and cats, a large flat yard, kayaks, canoe, floaties. The daytime temp rarely gets above 75-even when Portland was registering 100! And during wildfire season it has clean air(sorry to say this is the new issue for summertime). Fishing was fair. We only left the lake once-to get fresh oysters/seafood from Coos Bay. Mmmmmmmm.

Great experience !

The location of this property is unbeatable. If you are looking for a tucked away, wind-blocked location on the lake for family to spread out and enjoy the outdoors, this is your location. The lawn and firepit are unique to the Lakeside homes, while the dock location is very desirable. Our family of four had a tremendously relaxing 5 days in this home, while also enjoying some time with our visiting relatives & their dog a couple of the days we were there. With 1.5 bathrooms, 2 sleeping locations, a large grass lawn and a well located dock, we had plenty of space to enjoy the property without feeling on top of each other. Our first night there we were greated by a pair of deer, and later in our stay greeted by a momma dear and her newborn. We saw many birds, heard the bullfrogs nightly and were visited by the homeowners dog a couple of times. We also caught numerous fish off the dock (bass, perch, catfish and trout) and took multiple kayak & canoe ride around the neighborhood. I can't say it enough, the ability to spread out on this property and it's location on the lake. We do feel compelled to share a few of the other issues that we were not fully expecting. Hopefully it will help others in determining if the home is right for them. (1) There are no window coverings on 2 of the 3 sleeping spaces. This results in awfully early mornings, which our teenager and myself were not real fond of. (2) The master bedroom door does not close and does not reach the celling of the home. Between the lack of window coverings and the door being 1/2 opened, my husband and I had very little privacy while changing or sleeping. (3) Our 9-year-od stayed in the guest room, which could use some redecorating. While he enjoyed the starts that shown on the walls/ceiling at night, he (and the rest of us) felt that the room decorations themselves were a bit much. (4) This home is very dog friendly. Unfortunately this means that there is dog hair everywhere. (5) There was no welcome packet or directions for how to interact with the home. We had no directions for how the property owner wanted to home left on our departure and had to send an email to the host asking for the wifi password and key code to the door. These are ALL issues that the homeowner could easily fix. While they were a nuisance while we were there, I can honestly say that we would strongly consider renting this home again in the future. It's location is hard to beat.

We spent a week in Gretta’s cabin. The cabin was well equipped with books and other curiosities. The lake was beautiful, with lots of local wildlife to appreciate. Greta was very kind, and super accommodating - offering to arrange our boat taxi, let us use her kayaks, and even delivering fishing equipment and worms when my daughter decided she wanted to go fishing. We also brought our dog, and found the area to be very pet friendly! Highly recommend!!
