OTTER COVE A PRIVATE COZY LAKE FRONT HOME ON GARRISON LAKE PORT ORFORD OREGON

Host was more than patient and accomodating to this old woman! Every morning I woke up to a different view of the lake. Otters, deer swimming across the lake, different waterfowl, fish jumping, absolutely wonderful place.

The host is very available and responsive.With the picture windows overlooking the lake - we had fun watching the squalls move across the water. The kingfisher was zipping around the cove. A very comfortablehouse for gray winter days. And then, a windless glassy lake was perfect for kayaking.

Nice comfortable house with privacy and great view.

Second visit this year! See our review from Spring 2025 about this home-away-from-home. Private, convenient, quiet...who knew lakefront would be so much more relaxing than oceanfront. Use Google maps to locate the nearby beach, the easy Port Orford Heads hikes with fabulous views, and Ray's Market that sells many of the food items you'd find in the city. Our 4 star rating reflects only the age of this family home... you'll have a 5 star experience!

This home was so lovely. It checked all the boxes of my desire for a stay in a cottage on a lake. It was quiet and serene, otters playing, herons doing flybys, deer swimming across the cove. The stars at night were gorgeous. The views though the bay windows were stunning. This house is fully supplied (kitchen, towels and linens). The beds comfy. We had an issue that was dealt with promptly. The property manager was great to work with. My husband and I hope to return every year.

Inside was just like listed online. Cozy cabin feel with remodeling in some areas. Outside needs maintenance will landscape, cleaning, etc... Location was peaceful.

The yard wasn't very well maintained but overall, we enjoyed our stay. Very nice home would visit again. Did not get to see the otters. But still enjoyed our visit.

We had an amazing time at the property. The house is beautiful and cozy and the lake is very serene. The beach is an easy walk down the road and the sunsets were amazing.

We stayed here before, beautiful, secluded & cozy.

Great view of the lake with lots of wildlife. Short drive to beautiful beaches

In the context of an older lakeside cabin, we loved it! The first day we wanted to stay all summer. A 19th century vibe with 21st century appliances and heat pump. Some original hardwood, some LVP, HUGE rooms, three bay windows overlooking the private, peaceful lake just a few steps away...no other house is this close. We found everything we needed from a French coffee press to a rubber band. And only three minutes to town! It's plenty clean, and if you have a dog, you'll enjoy the fenced run and extras. If you don't, you won't be offended by odors. Real people live here, and you'll want to live here too.

This was our ninth stay at Otter Cove! We went back and reviewed old pics of earlier stays. Lots of great memories. The renovations to the house are wonderful! The kitchen looks great and is well stocked.The laundry area is awesome! Love all the nightlights, the pads in the bay windows and option for curtain usage in the bay windows! Otter Cove is full of wild life and there is nothing more relaxing than sitting there at the windows and watching! Great weather allowed us to be canoe with the grand kids for the first time in three years. We were three adults and two children ages 6 and 9 and we managed with one bathroom! LOL!

What a relaxing setting; overlooking the lake and all the visitors......geese, ducks, osprey, red wing blackbirds and yes, an otter.

Our stay at Otter Cove was on of many, we are greatfull for David the property management always so helpful and love making family homememories at this

We had a nice cozy stay at the Otter Cove house. It was windy and rainy a few days but we enjoyed watching the lake and relaxing for our 5 night stay. I know my family would enjoy coming back sometime in the summer.

Secluded but close to town, beach, hiking. Charming & cozy, kitchen is well stocked with utensils, etc We love this place!

This southern Oregon coastal gem of a property and the town of Port Orford and surrounds never fails to amaze and please. We shall return to this cottage again and again, and my sons look forward to bringing their family and friends here in the future.

I have stayed at this rental a few times now and it never disappoints. The views from the house are spectacular. The location is close to town but feels like it is away from it all. The beds are comfy. I highly recommend this place!

Overall, a nice and relaxing stay. Nice views looking across the lake. Location was very private and just a short drive into town to the beach. The water in the lake at the end of August was pretty low, but the fishing is probably good when the lake is deeper and cooler in the spring. Nice spacious living room and fast and reliable Internet.

We stayed for our anniversary and enjoyed watching the lake from the beautiful bay windows. It has cozy old wood and makes for a very relaxing getaway.

What a gem! The lake is mesmerizing! The house is cozy & comfy. Location is perfect, close enough to town & hikes.

Very clean and layed out well. Has a great veiw and has a very cozy feeling. Neighbors aren't to close so you feel secluded. Only a 5 minute drive to port Orford.

We had a great stay on this beautiful property. Communication with the host was wonderful, and the house was well stocked. We would love to return.

Beautiful, secluded location near beach and small town. Very spacious and comfortable. We had a great time. Only complaint is the pillows on the bed (too thin).

We loved this cozy, comfortable, private location.

This home is private, quiet, and perfect for a quick family trip. The Pros, the lake is the star of the show here, the views are spectacular, the weather is beautiful in June and the rooms are good sized. Now the cons, The home defiantly needs a good cleaning, we ended up sweeping the bedrooms since the dust and dirt was sticking to our feet. The exterior of the home needs some love/ maintenance, there was dust and cobwebs in the rooms/ on the exterior of the home. Overall would recommend just wish it was cleaner.
