Spellbinding Beauty

Under a spell of centuries of wind and waves, Cape Perpetua awaits. Here you’ll find The Carriage House, an enchanted cottage with views of tiny Dragons Cove, Laughing Gull Island, and the majestic Perpetua headland, highest point on the Oregon coast.

It’s hard to imagine a more pristine oceanfront setting. Two dozen harbor seals congregate and birth their young on the island. Cormorants, gulls, ravens, eagles, and the red-tailed hawk all love the cove. We see whales and sometimes even sea lions. A few times, a river otter.

Cape Perpetua is the westernmost point of the massive–over 634,000 acres– Oregon wilderness, the Siuslaw National Forest. There are miles of scenic hiking trails.

The Carriage House is up one flight of stairs. It is studio space above a 3 car garage. There is a graceful twisted juniper bed (queen sized) in the bed alcove, bathroom with shower (no tub), sun room with booth and table, kitchenette with sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave. There is no range. Suitable for 1 or 2 people. No smoking or pets.

Personal Retreat:
The profound beauty of such untamed Nature stuns and inspires. It is a catalyst for epiphany in the midst of solitude. This spellbinding beauty is conducive to dreaming, reflecting, and contemplation. You can rest deeply while ideas and solutions ease themselves into your consciousness. Artists find their vision is enhanced. Writers recharge. Crafters are buoyed by creative energies.

Romantic Getaway:
It’s detached from the main house and has the amenities you need to be comfortable. Explore Dragons Cove at low tide. Collect agates and shells. Snuggle together and watch as the island gulls rise in unison, gliding and swaying in the cove updraft. Marvel that they don’t run into one another. Blow bubbles from the balcony. Partake in the epicurean delights found at any of the many good restaurants in Yachats. Enjoy soft twilight and the lively song of the waterfall frogs.
