About this property

Below the Falls Lodge - Next to Golden & Silver Falls

Relax and revive in this artistic 'cabin' with wonderful views of historic Glenn Creek from every room. An architectural dream, you enter this lodge style home through a pivoting hobbit style front door with hardware from the 1800's. Highlights of this original home include a gourmet kitchen with labradorite granite counters, 800 year old juniper tree spiral stair case, huge beams and exposed rafters, a sauna, and a romantic wood stove. Also each upstairs bedroom has a hanging bed with three 8 foot skylights above for indoor star gazing. Original artworks from local artists are throughout the home. Many pleasantries await the curious such as embedded fossils in the cracked mud walls.
Nestled amongst towering fir and cedar trees, with windows everywhere, you'll feel and see nature's presence. This home site has a remarkably peaceful way about it.

Recently featured in Southern Oregon Magazine and KCBY 11 TV's ~In Focus~ 'Goin' Green' and Oregon's Solar Home Tour, this is a unique 'green' home. This home was built with environmentally friendly materials. Building with little impact on the surroundings was very important to us during construction. The myrtle hardwood floor in the kitchen and living room was milled on site which came from trees that stood where the house is now. Same story for the beautiful maple flooring in the ½ bath. All of the large beams and fir flooring came from two 4' thick 104 year old douglas fir trees which also stood and were milled where the house is now. The fir trees sprouted after the last forest fire that came through the canyon. One of our neighbors fell a sixty five year old redwood that was over six feet thick! We used some of it as a wonderful wainscot paneling throughout the house. All of the finishes used are no or low VOC. Surrounding the house is native vegetation, huge trees and a few herbs and spices for cooking.

You'll enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with labradorite granite counters. The kitchen island has a new five burner gas stove with a convection oven and warming oven. The island has plenty of granite and wood counter space. Hanging from the exhaust hood are stainless, non-stick, and cast iron cookware. We also provide shade grown fair trade coffee and a grinder, espresso machine, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, utensils, chef knives, glasses and frosty cocktail glasses in the freezer. The dining room table has a river view and can seat six comfortably. There is also seating for three at the island bar. From the kitchen you can visit with the folks in the living room thanks to the open floor plan. Beside the wood stove are two chairs and the futon couch with reading lamp. A CD changer, TV with a DVD player and VHS machine are in the downstairs bedroom. Bring your favorite videos or browse our selection of movies.

The property has 150 feet of creek frontage with great views of Glenn creek, the forest and distant cliffs. Enjoy wildlife viewing with River Dippers, Chipmunks, Kingfishers, Great Blue Herons, Screech Owls, Pileated Wood Peckers, Elk, an occasional Bald Eagle or River Otter and other wildlife from the house and back deck. Build a fire and have lunch on the nearby picnic table and benches.

Off the grid dream
This property is an off the grid HEAVEN!! You start by entering through a beautiful glass hobbit style door. You find a whimsical cabin that is fully stocked with literally anything and everything you might need or want. The skylights in the bedrooms mixed with the swinging beds and the sound of the creek outside your windows makes you feel like you are sleeping in the trees. The falls are a short distance away and beautiful. The river was fun to fish (we ate fresh steelhead one night!) The wood burning stove is cozy and warm and heats the entire place. There is a TV with plenty of movies but we chose to be screen free. The circular staircase wrapped around a tree and the suspension hallway is gorgeous. It is the perfect place to escape, relax and recharge. Thank you for creating and sharing it with the world!

40th trip
Happily surprised with stocked organic coffee, foil, garbage bags etc. not common in rentals these days. It’s obvious the hosts care about the property and the people who rent. No complaints. Beautiful property, quirky fun cabin with an obvious creative DIY plan and touch. Watched ducky waddle butts and piglets on the road. Saw eagles, numerous impressive hawks, donkeys, elk, geese, does, fawns, bucks etc. Absolutely loved that it has no Wi-Fi or cell service. Disconnect here if you like quarks, wildlife, moss, the sound is running water and living like we used too (no dumb phone service or internet!) We will return. Also loved Loved the story about the build out of the property as well. Congratulations to you both! Thanks so much. -The Jenkinsons and our friends.

Amazing getaway
This property offers a truly special experience for those seeking a peaceful escape into the beauty of Oregon's nature. Surrounded by stunning waterfalls, close to a state park for fishing, and just a short distance from the ocean, it is the ideal getaway for anyone looking to disconnect from the outside world. The house provides a comfortable and well-equipped kitchen, allowing you to prepare meals while enjoying the breathtaking views. The soothing sound of the nearby river, combined with the warmth of the fireplace, creates a relaxing atmosphere that will be missed long after your stay. Perfect for families with a two-year-old and a dog, the property offers plenty of space to explore and enjoy outdoor adventures. The absence of reception ensures a true break from technology, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature. In summary, if you crave a place where you can unwind and embrace Oregon's natural wonders, this property is a hidden gem. With its proximity to waterfalls, fishing opportunities, and the ocean, along with the absence of distractions, it provides an exceptional retreat that will leave you refreshed and longing for more.

Beautiful place
Unfortunately we were not able to stay at the property for a couple reason of which were no fault of the owner, I must say Shane is wonderful to work with, the place is very nice, secluded and has a warm feeling. Do yourself a favor and try to get to the property before dark just to make finding it a little easier, We will definately give this beautiful home another try next time in the area.

Mother's Day Getaway
This home is the perfect place to get off the grid, relax and recharge. Being on the hanging beds feels like being on a slow moving porch swing while gazing at the stars above through the multiple skylights. Swinging in the oversized hammock, sitting by the fire pit or reading in the super comfy living room chairs while hearing the soothing stream takes you back to a simpler time. The house is also the closest home to the water falls which are well worth the short drive and easy hike.

When I'm not crabbing I clam or go fishing.Sometimes a walk on the beach or the trails along the ocean cliffs out by Shore Acres is just right. Don't tell anyone but the surfing here isn't so bad either. I love this place!

Why they chose this property

The narrow canyon valley below Golden and Silver Falls is wonderful. I grew up here moved away, and came back for the natural beauty and solitude of the Oregon rain forest. This area has been a favorite of mine since I was a youngster. In 2005 when the bare land became available I jumped on it and started a three year art project which became Below the Falls Lodge.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorite things is to take a hot sauna then jump in the creek. It really makes you feel alive. Also during the warmer months the upstream swimming hole has a rock to jump off of. Fall and Winter are great also, following the rain wild mushrooms come then salmon and steelhead. I really enjoy hiking the falls by the light of the full moon. The old growth fir and cedar are so amazing. The lodge was a huge art project, I tried to be unique and creative during the entire construction process. I think you'll appreciate it.
