We also enjoyed the comfy adjustable bed with massage function, faux fireplace heater, refrigerator, and smart TV for when we wanted to stay in. John and Nancy were more than happy advise us on restaurants and local attractions though I had done exhaustive research on them already so we were good to go. We couldn't have asked for better hosts! Due to Covid we couldn't gather for breakfast but they were happy to leave fresh coffee, scones (sooooooo good!), and prepared eggs from their chickens. Seriously those scones were to die for! We had a wonderful time getting away to Mermaid's Muse and we can't wait to visit again!

Because I want it to be available for just me. But I'm not a selfish person (for the most part). And I must share this life haven with those who seek a place, view and amenities that make the world as you know it - stop. We stayed in the captains quarters. And I can't imagine ever going "back". We had "happened" upon this while making a long weekend following a conference in Ashland. Hoping this glowing and deserving view earns us some consideration when the place is booked solid In the future and we make a habit of coming back again. You're welcome:)

The best word to describe this place is.... Whimsical. If you are looking for "unique" this is the…read moreright place for you. It starts at arrival where you park, grab a key, and use a cart to take your belongings on a short walk into the woods. The cabins are close proximity to each other but are situated in a way that allows privacy. The guest cabins are thoughtfully decorated and equipped with plenty of extra like a wine opener, a lighter for candles, plush bath robes. The romantic ambiance is easily set if that is your goal. Another short walk up a trail leads to the Guest Hall which is a comfy setting with an amazing view of the ocean. Here you will find a full kitchen at your disposal complete with cookware, spices, and some common items in the fridge. Share a meal in the spacious setting or out on the deck. When you head back to your cabin don't forget to check out the extensive DVD collection. We found everything from classics like "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" to popular Rom-Com and new releases. We borrowed several 80's classics that we hadn't seen in forever! The DVD collection can be found in the bathroom, which might sound weird but you will see when you get here that there is no space wasted in this thoughtful eco-friendly lodge. While in the bathroom be sure to check out the sink. Another detail of imaginative whimsy that depicts the creativity of the owner. Oh, do not forget to flip through a table book that recounts the history of WildSpring. It is a story filled with romance, dreams, and heartache that includes pictures of life realized. And, I cannot forget the attraction of the spa and gazebo! Set amidst the trees and driftwood sits an open air hot tub overlooking the tree line and ocean. The truly amazing thing is that it requires an appointment, meaning it's not overcrowded, you get the luxury of enjoying the relaxing experience sans strangers. It's a simple text to the host to check for availability for an hour soak. Other amenities are EV charging, radiant heated floors, roomy shower, a decent continental breakfast spread, and priceless peace and quiet amidst the old growth forest. The whimsy of the place comes with the decor spread through the walking paths. Hidden among ferns are sculptures, a walking labyrinth, meditation alcoves, creations of all sorts. Everywhere you look is a whimsical touch that makes you feel the great pride and artistic talents of the owner. It's awe inspiring if you take the time to appreciate it. One thing to note: not a great place to get work done, although I'm not sure why anyone would want to. There is wifi, but we found that most of the time it wasn't enough service to even send a text message. But, we were cool with that! This is a place to enjoy being unplugged. We have stayed here twice. In the same cabin, by chance, and have loved it. This last time, in October, we had the place to ourselves in the middle of a classic coastal storm. The wind howled at the Guest Hall and we stood and howled with it. We also got the privilege of thunder and lightning that rolled off the cliffs and gave a haunting view of the forest and sea. Truly magnificent!

Read this review, however. It's not a 5 star hotel - so know what you're getting when you reserve. As far as the cabins, they are well decorated with plenty of sleeping area. No "living room" as both rooms are made up as bedrooms. But some have a full kitchen, others a microwave and fridge. Each has a balcony out front to enjoy the scenery. These are rustic type cabins, so there is no TV. They do have electric, but don't expect phone or internet while you're here. You can expect wildlife and outdoors activities though. We made our reservations by phone. Call back if you get the machine - there's not a bunch of employees there and those that are can be busy working in the kitchen. When we reserved our room, we also reserved dinner. She DID ASK about any allergies or preferences when we booked, in contrast to a previous reviewer's rating. The meals were FABULOUS. No, there's not a menu - it's chef's choice. But if you have a preference, ask in advance and she will do what she can to accommodate you. We had three dinners. They are served family style with a salad of some type, main course (fried chicken, ribs and tri-tip were served on our nights) and sides. Our sides included corn, string beans, squash, as well as a starch like mashed potatoes with gravy option. Home made biscuits or bread are served, one day with an amazing caramelized topping. Dessert was cobbler and ice cream. There was more than enough food for everyone eating and everything had a homemade touch. Lemonade and water was served, or you could bring your own. We didn't ask for anything different. Jennifer and her team served meals for as few as 10 people and as many as 150 while we were there, and we didn't hear any complaints. She works real hard to make sure everyone is happy. The area is very out of the way. Agness is about an hour from Gold Beach and there is nothing here except a couple of lodges, an RV park and one bar / grill type restaurant. There's not a lot to do if you're not into hiking, nature watching, fishing or hanging out at the river. The Agness general store is closed right now so bring your supplies with you. The ranch itself is kind of cool. It's set up almost B&B style with your own cabin. There are board games if you have children and a living room sitting area should you choose to use it. It has an airport with a grass strip, a small lake with an old boat and car around it for decoration. It borders the Rogue River with a dock below and a rocky beach is also part of the property. There's a meadow in the center where you can look up and see the stars every night. The Gold Beach clouds don't often make it up this far and the nights were beautiful. The website could use some updating. They don't do rooms any more, just full cabins, and the rates have gone up. It was a bit confusing when we got there, as there is no "welcome" sign or anything and you feel like you're going into someone's living room. Overall, this is a great experience. It was clean, nice, friendly and the food was great. They were wonderful with our daughter allowing her to help out with clearing the table. Jennifer is working real hard to make sure everyone is taken care of. We will definitely return to this lovely ranch.

It's actually well cared for, and although it's a small little joint on the highway, it's clean and quiet. I paid just over $40 a night (during June, no less) for a queen room (although the bed seemed to be more of a double than a queen). The bed wasn't fantastically comfortable, but it was decent. The roof over hangs every room, so you can smoke outside without getting wet and walk to the ice machine under cover. It doesn't have a pool, a sauna, a hot tub or any other ammenitie like that, but once again, it was $40 a night. The front desk people are super nice, and it appears that the owner or manager may live on site. I would definately stay here again!

It was our honeymoon, and lovely owners John and Jackie took the time to meet and greet us and give us a tour. They even provided some strawberries and champagne! The mini bar was fully stocked with sodas and water, the laundry services had soap and fabric softener, the cabinets held beach towels, rafts and board games! And best of all it was all included in our stay! One wall was all windows providing a breathtaking view of the sea, and outside were some amazing surprises. A gazebo, a fire pit, a sauna and hot tub and a hidden trail that led to my favorite place: a giant hammock nestled amongst the tree tops. We woke up each morning to blue jays and bunnies in the yard and the smell and sound of the sea. What more could you ask for? How about a reasonable price? You got it! This place blows the local hotels and cabin rentals out of the water! We will definitely be back, next time for a more extended stay. They literally thought of everything.

We've stayed here twice now. Once in Unit C and once we brought our RV and stayed in the RV space…read more We loved both visits. Unit C is the closest unit to the ocean and has two nice size bedrooms and a full kitchen. We had a clear view of the ocean. It was quiet and peaceful and just what we wanted for a few days away to relax and unwind. It was nice having a kitchen, so we didn't have to go out for every meal. I loved sitting on the deck listening to the ocean and reading my book and napping. Hard to keep your eyes open when you are so relaxed! On our second visit, we were doing a coastal RV trip from CA to Oregon and stopped there overnight on our way from CA before heading further north along the Oregon coastline. They have a nice RV spot with very easy access and with electric hook up. It was the perfect layover, and we got a bonus night of ocean waves to put us to sleep that night and start us off feeling very relaxed for the next part of our trip. The innkeepers were onsite if we needed anything, but at the same time you almost feel like you have the whole place to yourself. I'm sure we'll be back soon. - Jill and Tim
