China Mountain House | a Premier Vacation Home

We stayed for 2 nights at China Mountain house with our dog and had an excellent stay. The house itself is ultra modern and trendy with stunning views of the coast line and bay. We met Gary the owner to check in which was smooth and helped to explain the in house technology and show us around the house which is stunning. There are plenty of local hikes and beaches to visit whilst staying at the house but the real beauty of this home is the wonderful view and entertainment system. The house comes to life at night with a huge cinema setup in the living room and once it gets dark it is like sitting in a planetarium with unbelievable backdrop of the stars - we’ve never seen so many. There is a big library of films and music for the cinema and sound system and it is possible to plug your own phone, tablet, pc or games console into the system for your own content using hdmi or usb cables and playing computer games on the huge screen was a lot of fun.. The home is also well accommodated and a short drive to local restaurants and shops and is well shielded from neighboring properties. Overall we had a fantastic stay and wish we could have stayed longer - thanks Gary for sharing your home with us it is beautiful by design.

Our stay at China Mt House was wonderful! The views are spectacular and the house has an ultra modern vibe which made it feel even more special! Thank you Gary!

Two couples of old friends shared China house for three nights in March. Gary kept the introductions to the house and Port Orford simple and spot on accurate. Then we were on our own- exactly what we wanted.

The house is striking in many ways. Elegant yet approachable, Hidden yet close-in, Functional yet artistic. Port Orford itself is scenically spectacular, friendly, tight-knit, and again- approachable. We hung out and got to know the people at every stop.

Great trip. We hope to visit again before too long. Thanks to Gary, the Hawthorn Clan (Redfish). Mr. Ed, the Crazy Norwegian, and the crew and "guard" dog on the docks.

Only downside noted...

the CD/DVD collection is so extensive that the best approach is a random draw . Too many choices. Good reminder though- you are on the OR coast. Listen to the waves and hummingbirds. Watch the whales and the sunsets.

It's very warm and cozy with the crazy southern coast winter storm. I really enjoyed the experience. The views are incredible, upstairs especially. It had all the necessities and more for cooking,. Loads of movies and books.. The projection screen is almost like sitting at the movies. We watched an old Classic "Gone with the wind" First time I've ever seen it on a big screen. The town was just up101. Went to Crazy Norwegian restaurant and had the best fish and pie ever. Loved staying here!

Loved the little town of Port Orford , this house & watching movies on the big screen , and all of Gary’s great recommendations
