Otter Rock, Oregon
The Dude's Abode is a small, 1969 A-Frame in the small oceanfront community of the Alpine Chalets. We are set in a forested, high-bank oceanfront 7-Acre setting at Otter Rock, along with 10 other privately owned chalets. The community shares a private path with access to the best surfing beach in the area!
Restored to a 1969 vibe, fans of vintage A-Frame villages, surfers, and free spirits will love this spot.
An original "tiny house" village at the beach, this 656 Square foot A-Frame Chalet has a kitchen, living room with vaulted ceiling (open to the loft), bedroom, and ensuite bath on the main level. The upper level loft has 2 twin beds, a built in desk, and a peek of the ocean framed by shore pines out the upper window. The lower bedroom has a queen bed.
Loft access is by a ladder with rails, so this would not be suitable for a toddler or a child who is not a good stair-climber yet. The ensuite bath is shared, so access for all guests through the main (downstairs) bedroom. It's a classic cabin-style, for families and close friends who don't mind sharing space. We have restored this home to its 1969 look.
You'll love the location, the coziness, the high ceilings. The Dude's Abode is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). The Abode is very popular-- if it is unavailable for your dates, check out our New Listing "Mermaid's Rest" in the same village.
The seven acre grounds include 2 firepits and barbecue areas, park benches, a swing-set, grassy and forested areas. Most of this part of the coast has steep staircases for beach access, so you'll enjoy the stroll down through the beach on a meandering path, with just a few stairs at beach level. Access is about a mile from public access either direction, so this area is much less crowded than other beaches any time of year. Beautiful long view of the beach, from Devils Punchbowl to the North to Yaquina Head lighthouse to the South.
We won't be in your space during your stay, but are often nearby and have staff who can help in the event of an emergency. There is a groundskeeper (Lance) who lives full time on the Alpine Chalets property, in the event of emergency or security issues.
Otter Rock is a small community along the "Otter Crest Loop" a beautiful, scenic section of historic Highway 101 between Newport and Depoe Bay, Oregon. This whole section of the Oregon Coast is "high bank" Oceanfront, with most beach access by steep staircase. Our Alpine Chalets community is special for the 7 acre grounds (shared by only 11 separate Chalets) and for the hiking path down to the beach. The path is a bit steep at the top, but is generally easier to use than public access stairs in this area. Usually deserted and very private, that privacy changes for surf school! We are just south of the popular Otter Rock surfing beach and are perfect for your surf getaway. The old highway is close to Hwy 101.
1 mile North is public access for surfing, the Devils Punchbowl State Park, and Otter Rock Marine Preserve with tidepools. 8 miles south in Newport with shopping, a fishing fleet, charters, and the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
Car is recommended. We are on the Oregon Coast bicycle route; and would be a great stop for hard-care cyclists doing their dream 101 ride.
No stairs into unit; main bedroom, bath and kitchen on one level. Please ask if you have accessibility concerns.
2 parking spaces in assigned parking space. Driveway is the far south end of Otter Crest Loop, marked "Alpine Chalets." 10 minute drive South to Newport, 10 minute drive North to Depoe Bay.

Loved the thoughtful touches. Everything anyone could need is supplied in the chalet. :)
The Ramble On was a wonderful place to stay! Our little A-frame was just right for the 4 of us and our dogs. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the property upon check-in, especially being near a beach and pet friendly. There wasn’t a lick of sand or pet hair anywhere. Kudos to the cleaning crew. The furnishing and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was adequate for the few things we made. My only complaint about the whole experience was the beach access wasn’t quite as easy as I feel the pictures made it appear. My elderly mother was with us, and she couldn’t traverse the trail down to the beach which was disappointing. Other than that, we were very pleased with the property. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
The house was as advertised. The owners were very nice. I would rent this place again. Wish there was parking for more than 1 car. Overall great experience.
We had a wonderful stay here and we’ll be back hopefully next summer too. Communication with the owner was seamless as well.
We had a great time here! Great location, the beach was perfect, so clean and private and beautiful! We really enjoyed out nightly sunset beach trips. The little trail to the beach was pretty easy and short for us, but definitely makes your legs feel the burn on the way back up! We are pretty active so it wasn’t a big deal for us, but if someone had some Mobility issues then it could possibly be harder for them. The cabin was cute and fun, and our family had a great time there. Great location, close to lots of things to do, we even drove to nearby Depot Bay and saw Whales!!
My husband and I stayed here for a week and loved this place! It is clean and cute inside/out, has short walk to the beach, and a great location! Highly recommend!
The dude-inspired decoration scheme is brilliant! We found the whole place to be super cozy and relaxing and would love to return.
The house was in a great location with easy access to a relatively private section of the beach. The house was clean and cute, and my family definitely enjoyed the disco ball ;) We will be back!
This property was so cozy and unique. We came here for a mother-daughter get away and had a great time. The location is fantastic and the beach completely exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this property!
This place is well decorated and is close to the beach. The property has more of a funky motel feel than a cabin or Shalet in the woods. Perfect for people on their 20’s or early 30’s. Front window view is a huge parking lot. Out back is the highway that you drove in on. Luckily traffic is light at night so the traffic noise did not keep me up.
Really nice, perfect location. We really had a great time, it was perfect for what we needed.
