"Happy birthday to me. Thank you so much for such a wonderful & magical time. What a wonderful place you have created. Our stay was perfect. We enjoyed the quietness, the walks on the beach, the sunsets on the deck and the evening soaks in the spa. Thank you for all the beauty you have created, your attention to detail was so appreciated. We enjoyed walking the grounds, discovering new art every day. P.S. the hammock was challenging to get out of. We hope to be back soon, but next time with family and friends."

"Amazing place! Thank you,"

  Jane & Rick, Florence, OR 10.3.19

 

"My wife and I have been together for 32 years and have spent as much of that time as possible traveling. From the outset we have shied away as much as possible from the chain motels and hotels which encourage (coerce) you into staying with them repeatedly and having essentially the same experience as a result. Instead, we have always sought out properties with some historical or cultural significance in order to import a sense of place to our accommodation. For what is the point of traveling without experiencing that sense? Over these last thirty-two years I am hard pressed to think of a more unique property we have stayed at than WildSpring. From the cabin itself to the artwork and the sense of tranquility that permeates the grounds at large, you have created a truly memorable experience. The place is totally far out and funky. My only regret is that we are just passing through on a one-nighter. If we were fortunate enough to pass this way again we will certainly look you up. Sincerely,"

  Mario & Cameli M, Rockaway, NJ 9.7.19

 

"This place is magical! Thank you!"

  Ty & Laura, 8.18.19

  Mike & Karen D., 8.13.19

 

"My husband and I wanted to find a quiet place to get away for our 15th anniversary and WildSpring exceeded our expectation. Everything we wanted or needed seemed to magically appear. Our cabin was so cozy and clean and was easy to immediately relax in. We loved the attention to detail, wonderful breakfast, spa, view, and relaxing atmosphere. thank you for making our stay so refreshing and special!"

  Mark & Amie B., 8.3.19

 

"It's hard to leave this beautiful sanctuary you have created known as WildSpring! The energy here is peaceful and nurturing. We chose to spend the majority of our 3 days just being restored in this beautiful space. This will always be a special memory in our hearts. Everything here was done with intention and we felt it. We hope to return someday. Blessings!"

  Amy & Dennis E., 6.24.19

"This has been a terrible year for my family...Years ago a guest of the WildSpring told me of this place. It has been on my list of wishes since and my husband and I decided to visit for our 10 wedding anniversary. I hope this ends with many blessings. Thanks for creating this place in the pines."

  K&G, Siletz, OR 11.8.18

"Surprise trip for my husband's 61 birthday - needed some rest and relaxation. This was perfect - the weather is fabulous - sunny and warm with no wind. Sat out on the deck with a bottle of wine and got to watch a beautiful sunset. Later we had the hot tub all to ourselves and gazed at the star-filled sky. Time seemed to stand still a bit for us here. It's been a wonderful stay - oh and breakfast was excellent as well. Already talking about a return trip! Thanks so much for your hospitality and sharing this great place with us!"

"We had such a wonderful little escape from the hustle & bustle. This was the perfect retreat from our busy lives in Portland. The hosts thought of our every need & we were just able to focus on unwinding. The hot tub was perfect for just that. We also loved the little sculptures scattered around the property. We'll definitely make an effort to come back through here again. You made our first trip to Port Orford well worth it."

"Our first time here at WildSpring and as peaceful and relaxing as everyone here said. We came celebrating our 30th anniversary, a major milestone for us as since our 25th by husband has been diagnosed, treated and survived cancer, so we are so happy to celebrate our 30th together here in this beautiful place. The trees make this cabin a treehouse and the food and views from the hall complete the beauty. Thanks for the memories."

  Lacey R, 9.5.17

 

"All I could say is "heaven." This journey was unbelievable right from the word "start." Non-stop 14 hour drive through crater and one of the daring, heart-in-the-mouth moments when driving through the Bear Camp Road to this spot in the night at 11pm with no hope of reaching city, getting lost in the jungle & finally reaching this spot called "heaven" was indeed one. That on our anniversary. No words, happened just like in movies....one of a kind journey. WILL BE BACK."

  Beyonce & Dan, Bellevue, WA 4.3.17

 

"This place is every bit as magical as I had hoped. The cabin and the grounds are stunning and incredibly relaxing. We could not have picked a more beautiful, peaceful retreat for the last night of our spring break. Listening to the ocean waves crash down below as we sat under the stars in deep conversation amongst all the team of the spa was indescribable. Thank you for reminding me what life is meant for. Warmest regards."

  Stuart & Hannah, Albany, OR 4.2.17

 

"Feels a lot like love. Thank you,"

  Kendre & Ray, Roseburg, OR

 

"This trip is my Valentine's gift to my husband to be. We both enjoyed the cabin with the woodstove and all the interesting decor. I particularly liked the sheets (I want some for home) and the feeling of isolation from the hustle and bustle of the world. I will be getting a gift of a stay here for my mother and aunt who are perfectly made for the atmosphere you have created. Thank you for the wonderful experience."

  Carol & Josh, Portland, OR 2.12.17

 

"Lovely cabin, love the stove. It was so incredibly cozy and sweet and romantic (cheesy I know). We would come back time & time again!

Anyhooo, thank you for such a relaxing "escape" from everyday life! We look forward to visiting again in the future!"

"We got in later than we originally planned. The checkin process was really simple and we felt immediately at ease. Our evening was exactly what we needed...restful and quiet.

  Donna R., 10.13.16

 

"Thank you for making our second stay with you just as magical as our first. Magical. That sums up everything about this place - but we know it doesn't become this through magic but through the very hard work, blood, sweat and tears of the two of you. Know that your guests appreciate every tiny detail you attend to and all the energy you pour into WildSpring. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for rekindling magic, the mystical, childlike wonder and awe that was just what we needed. So you again soon."

"When you walk at a regular pace, breathing deeply and evenly, the vagus nerve and its soothing rhythms take over and the adrenal gland, with its adrenlaine and cortisol rush the breathing of your heart and the tempo of your breathing synchronize in calming, undulating waves. As you take a deep breath, your heart rate slows, as you let out, your heart rate speeds up just a big. The very brief time between the beats increases and decreased in sync with these breaths. Your blood pressure falls, and instead of blood vessels clamping down to keep up blood flow to the vital organs, your heart pumps more strongly and effectively. The brake to your stress response has been engage. The health benefits of walking in themselves are important, but there are additional rewards when walk the path of a labyrinth. Unlike a set of city streets, a labyrinth has one path. It is calming, because it forces you to focus your attention on the way in front of you. It makes you walk slowly and breath evenly in rhythm with your pace. There is something intrinsically soothing in this ritual - which may be why it's becoming a standard practice in complementary and alternative medicine. Standing at the entrance to any labyrinth, you can see there's no route in or out - and if you try, it will defeat its purpose of putting you at ease. You should simply start. Trust that if you follow the path you will not get lost, and that you will come out feeling better than when you began. In many ways, this is a metaphor for any spiritual journey."

  Ester & Victoria & Cherl S, 12,30,14

 

"This is such a beautiful place with everything so well thought and lovingly presented. The cabins are carefully nestled in the young forest in such a way that everyone has privacy and comfort. Up the slope overlooking the ocean is a clean well-designed Lodge with kitchen and dining areas. Just below is one of the nicest hot-tub pools I've every soaked in, with spectacular views out into the Pacific. We certainly hope to come back before long."

But for us, the magical trees, the ocean, the weather (58 this morning) made it all worth it. When we were first married we too lived in a magical Oregon forest. The quiet solitude, the wind through the trees has no equal."

"A time of celebration, a new life together, a blessed event in the presence of God & family, our two children were joined together in marriage." Not an uneventful journey of course! The groom took a nice trip to the emergency room after 20 ft fall during rock climbs on the beach - badly broken foot - crutches as an accessory to the wedding suit! Michelle & Dean were amazing in their care and concern - a wheelchair delivered within a few hours, incredible accommodation to our every need - we can't express our wonder & gratitude - incredible! A beautiful wedding, love, flowing (okay some tears -he's the baby!) The fireworks !! WOW! What a show. They looked like they were right on top of us. Wonderful music prepared for the show (thank you Michelle!) I know the kids will be back, but we may sneak in a trip of our own. Thank you for allowing us to have this time with you and your little piece of heaven!"

"My husband Junior and I came for 5 nights to celebrate our honeymoon. This was the perfect place for us. From the massages in our cabin, to the hot tub, to the secluded, peaceful feeling, it was perfect. This area was also beautiful. We took the Cape Blanco trail outlines in "From Sea To Summit" and were blown away with beautiful views and calm woods. We were kayaking with South Cost Tours and loved Dave, our guide. We went horse back riding in Bandon and felt so romantic. The WildSpring website really helped us to plan a great week. We hope to come back for our 5 year anniversary!"

  Chris & Jen M., Cape Canaveral, FL 6.18.13

 

"Michelle and Dean, we were thrilled to return yet once again (last here in 10/11) and find you still own the property. We are always afraid as "Innkeepers" you will burn out and sell. Annwyn is now our favorite cabin because of the space and fireplace, not to mention privacy! As we age (60s) we do fine we enjoy some interaction and a little conversation - more now than when we were younger. The price is less important now but the location, environment, and quality of furnishings is still extremely important. Do continue the extra touches - make-up cloths, candles, DVD layer, refrigerator - all nice amenities! And ohhhh...the red roses!!"

It was a total surprise to my hubby -- until we were south of Coos Bay, he had no clue of our destination. We enjoyed the hot tub times, the awesome breakfasts, the natural settings & hikes & sightseeing adventures. We enjoyed an awesome hour-long massage each - in our cabin. Aaaahhh? The accommodations are lovely, comfortable & peaceful! And Michelle & Dean are gracious hosts, making sure your stay is all you want it to be! All too soon it's time to go. But we will return! Thank you!"

Thank you for creating this beautiful setting & allow for such memories to be made."

  Steve & Jannie, H., 9.5.12

 

"While we had less than 24 hours here, sometimes even a little taste of paradise is enough to take back out into the world as a more centered, calmer & more inspired person. The grounds are stunning and this cabin a warming retreat. Most of all, I loved the little bits of whimsy thoughtfully & playfully hidden throughout the grounds. Than you for a reminder that a little bit of fun can be around every corner. We'll be back! Hugs,"

"My wife and I sought a quiet, relaxing spot to spend our honeymoon. Our expectations were exceeded beyond our wildest dreams. At our cabin we were able to relax and forget all the excitement of the previous week. We enjoyed exploring the town, taking daytrips to California to see the = majestic redwoods, and other attractions closer to Prot Orford We enjoyed the sumptuous breakfast every morning, sipping OJ while we watched the sea. We especially enjoyed making hot chocolate to take to our cabin, and loved watching movies and listening to the excellent CD collection. We were privileged to share the space with the local deer! This trip has been one of the happiest in our lives, and we look forward to coming back many many times. Thanks for everything!"

  Cameron & Megan, 8.4.12

 

"Grandiose expectations mark a planned romantic getaway. When expiations are fulfilled the mind is overjoyed. Her heart jumped and her face smiled as we pulled in on Friday. "Cloudy" forecasts were wrong, it was sunny and temperate. The cabin had just enough (can't read) to complement the feel and mood On Saturday I proposed to my now fiancé Crystal in the labyrinth. It was a peaceful time punctuated by a moment of love. Dean and his wife made a great breakfast and accommodated my GF needs. The town was quaint and Cape Blanco was inspiring. When expectations are exceeded, the memories emblaze into the mind. Crystal & I felt the spirit watch us in the form of two hawks which flew close, A blessing. With love."

  Ryan & Crystal 7.29.12

 

"Thank you so much for the magical stay here at WildSpring. The forest, the view, the hot tub, and the breakfast were wonderful. I can't imagine a better place to spend our mini-honeymoon.

"I was blessed to help deliver my best friend's baby in Feb of 2009. They gave me a certificate to stay here but due to my busy schedule and not having the right person to share this place with I haven't used it until now. This romantic setting was the perfect place to tell the one I love that we are having a baby. We land in this wonderfully cozy bed dreaming of our future together. I am hoping we can come back for a quick getaway before the baby arrives. We will definitely always remember the night we spent here."

"I will always remember this place! The woman I love and want to spend forever with shared with me that we are going to have a baby! I'm so happy and amazed and overjoyed!

"Wow! What a gem we have found! It was a surprise getaway planned for my 40th birthday & I had no idea (exactly) where we were going or what to expect. This place is magical and I love all the little surprises & details that have been thought out by the owners. I suspect each visit would be very different & I hope to come back to find out very soon. The fireplace was wonderful & the walk-in shower was divine. I have to say our evening "runs" to the hot tub under the stars was my favorite part. Soooo freezing when we got our before dressing but worth it (and lots of laughs & funny memories, i.e. pants on backwards & scaring each other in the dark). Yummy breakfasts followed by delightful walkabout (& loved the labyrinth!) WildSpring is truly a dream."

  M & E, Napa Valley, CA 1.16.12

Thanx for everything. This has been the best Valentine's weekend! Everything was perfect!"

  Chad & Larissa S., Eureka, CA 2.11.11

 

"Last night while enjoying the spa and the solitude under the stars: I was alone. I felt as a fetus nestled in the womb of this cosmic, spiritual nirvana. As mother earth's breath rose from the ocean, slowly climbing the bluff. I felt my spirit warming inside my body, evanescing, emanating from my fingers, my toes, my eyes. Gently her breath caressed me from my human shell, lifting me upward, like a mist rising in the canyons. My essence was gathering above the spa which gleamed like an emerald eye into the soul. I was drifting into the darkness of the night, out amongst my friends the firs, lifting higher ever so purposefully. Rising above the ferns, into the canopy. Below me I could feel the labyrinth calling to me, beckoning forth my inner energy, my chi. My spirit again began to gather, to intensify, to warm, gradually centering. Warmer and warmer, hotter and hotter, glowing, illuminating, swirling into oneness. Hotter and hotter, brighter and brighter, deeper and deeper, into understanding and purpose. Melting away the shackles of fear and confusion, burning away the reigns of society, the limits of the human self. White hot rays, fingers of pure light began stretching from my center energy, reaching outward and inward. The forest began to warm, to fluoresce. My spirit energy enveloping nature, dissolving boundaries, absorbing into consciousness, into mother earth. She became me, and I here, one. Our awareness is boundless, forever knowing, forever belonging, forever. We are, we're here, we're home. Complete."

"What a unique place - no phones, no TV, no noise. Just us & nature - exactly how we like our vacations! We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this week, & had a wonderful time.

“So today is check-out, as I am writing this my “let’s get up and go” husband is still snoozing! The sleep we have gotten here is amazing. I still can’t believe that I got up with the alarm (9 a.m.!), and he’s still in bed! We cam here with no expectations and we are leaving here with smiles in our hearts. Although I am on a cane, I have made small efforts to check out all of the beauty of this property. What fun it is to see all of the buddhas and little things to remind me just to BE while walking around! We had an awesome guided meditation with Michelle and Dean, and even the other cabin couple joined in. My hubby did Tai Chi with Dean one morning and he came back to the cabin just smiling and ready to conquer the world…well, in a good way.:) ! I truly have enjoyed this, and I know that we will definitely be back as soon as we are able. The energy here has brought us such a sense of calm, and we are taking that home with us!”

  Michael & Alanna, Ashland, OR

 

“Dear WildSpring! We loved our stay! Just wish we did not have to run off so quickly. Every time you turn round there is another detail waiting for you The moment we saw the spa and lookout last night, we lost our breath. I felt like a little kid at summer camp, so excited to see everything. As we were soaking our tired bodies, we saw a shooting star! How special! I’ve only seen 2 other shooting tars in my 30 years of life! Now your lovely home has been the 3rd. Hope to visit again! Truly.”

  Heather & Chuck, PA 2.16.08

 

“Once more WildSpring has provided a nocturnal resting place, traveling, arrived after dark and soon to depart on this misty morn. Yet this time is different. I wisely chose to be encouraged by Dean, despite my late arrival, and immersed myself in your warm, protected waters It is an experience I will not fail to enjoy on each subsequent visit! This morning was different, too. I awoke just before first light, sleepy yet mindful of my once-again and soon-to-be delight in watching the atmosphere whiten around the(can’t read). Content to lie in bed, propped now by the pillow, I had a great idea. Why not light the candles and start the fire? That wood-burning fireplace is exactly what drew me to this cabin nearly 3 years ago. And here I was on y third stay without ever having opened the elegant little doors with their (can’ read) glass. Truth be told, I had always assumed there was not enough time to build a proper fire and deal with it before I could sit back and bask in its smoky-smelling warmth. How pleased was I to open the doors finding that proper fire built and waiting for my simple match! Again, I promise myself and al this is wise, good; cozy to light this fire on each and every night and/or morning that I am fortunate enough to find myself in this resting place. With gratitude & appreciation.”

Thank you for your time & talent infused into this setting.”

  “I have really enjoyed being here. Everything was wonderful and I appreciate the special touches you have added to this place. I have been inspired and renewed. I will love to come back again. Thank you.”
  Patrice M., Sumner, WA 7.29.05

  “We really appreciate the love & dedication you’ve infused into the room. With way too hectic a schedule at work, I was hoping to find someplace I might begin to relax. From the moment the car door opened & we were suffused with high-altitude, clean, pine forest air, I hoped my expectations might be surpassed. When I saw the room I was thrilled. Tonight there’s an electrical storm over the ocean…is there any better theatre? We love it. P.S. The fireplace is inordinately cute!”
  Sandi & Chuck R., 7.23.05

  “What an awesome & spiritual place you have created here. We think this is the best place we have stayed (we’ve stayed at several B&Bs). The trees outside all the windows, the décor (I think we are going to recreate this décor in our bedroom!), the atmosphere, all the lovely details, CD, massage table, water bottles, hooks, lovely lamps (I love lamps), throws on couches, etc! I think we will send my parents for a weekend get-away – they would love it as well – it almost makes me cry! Thank you so much.”
  Wes & Mary Ann, Jacksonville, OR 7.18.05

  “WildSpring exceeded all our expectations! The attention to detail, personal touches and extremely comfortable surroundings were the highlight of our entire vacation! It’s a shame there aren’t more places like yours – but then again, it allows us to appreciate you and what you’ve done all that much more. We hope this won’t be our last visit out to see you. All the best!”
  Brian & Kristie, 7.12.05

  “Can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. The accommodations are spectacular. The Atmosphere is perfect. We will be back!”
  Jeff & Margie B. 5.30.05

  “WildSpring is truly a special place! Our two-night stay was so peaceful and enjoyable – the cabin is perfect, the grounds are beautiful, and the Great Hall has everything we might need, plus an incredible ocean view! Thanks so much, we will return.”
  Cathy D. and Ted P., Seattle, WA 4.5.05

  “You have done an excellent job in creating this beautiful place. I have found my niche! I arrived past dark, weary from my work & travels. After eleven hours of deep slumber, I awoke to the easy solitude of fog moving through the tall firs at dawn. While I lament not being able to soak in your tub and enjoy your breakfast, I am better off none the less as I leave this early morn. Until next time.”
  Joseph K., Portland, OR 3.8.05

  “This has been the most relaxing weekend we have ever had. Thank you for all the wonderful touches in our cabin. We hope to be able to come back again."
  Joe & Linda E., Ridgefield, WA 2-19-05
