"You've truly created something special here at WildSpring. The serenity, tranquility, and most importantly, the hospitality made our stay incredible. Thanks so much."

  Mike & Laura, Tacoma, WA 2.23.20

 

"The world is at odds and amongst us all into life we must usher ourselves forward, through all that is chaos. Standing so lightly and powerfully amongst the trees are escapes that bind our wills together if every for a second. The crashing waves, the great expanse, the lightness of the filtered sun on our skin. The lacy morning, the general peace, the song of a bird singing. The appreciation for places like this are amongst my greatest. There is a power here. There are kind blessings and the people traveling through seem to leave a piece of them here, a part of their peace possibly of part of their souls in the gentle way we all do at times. I will leave kindness and appreciation for your creation. Have a wonderful journey."

The feeling of staying a night in the middle of all these tall trees is really like staying a night in the forest. Feel so close to the nature. Your cabin is fully equipped and decorated so beautifully. We really like your Guest Hall where you make us feel relaxed and at home. We really hope one day we can come back to stay longer and enjoy this environment. Certainly we will recommend this place to our friends."

"There is such a feeling of oneness here, the interlocking of host and hostess who toiled so to make this already special place so welcoming to all who come; the quiet wisdom of the majestic trees and all wood life, the special moments that all guests have experienced and made note of here in this lovely book. It's been a memorable 72nd birthday gift from my husband who was led to WildSpring. Thank you for this moment of peace and may you both be showered with light!"

Now we go out with our hearts full and our spirits fed and with good courage, rested and renewed."

"Celebrating our 9th anniversary with a road trip to the Rogue and Southern Oregon coast, so that my Brandon could been Bandon and play some gold....Bandon Crossings was really fun, as was out stay on the river. However, I waited a year to finally come here, as I knew it was what we needed. Tried last year to no avail, but this time it was meant to be, as if we had the place to ourselves... I am reminded of my childhood growing up in Northern California and taking weekend trips to our cabin in the Sierra Mountains. for my husband....a first amongst the redwoods. He said "It's like summer camp for adults." We love it, it's so needed to check in to check out from everyday stressors. Try Redfish for dinner., it is a lovely place. I am so relaxed that I can't even write properly!!! Ha Ha"

  Karen & Brian, PA 4.28.12

 

"This was a very special weekend. Months ago my boyfriend of a few years wrote on the calendar "Special Lauren treat" over a whole weekend. I had no idea where we were going until we came through the fence and walked into the cabin. Whatever I was expecting, this place exceeded all of my thoughts. Little did I know it would only become more special when Justin walked me out to Cape Blanco, got down on one knee and proposed. We depart blissfully engaged. With many years ahead. We look forward to returning and having many more special memories in such a beautiful place. Thank you both for your words of wisdom and for creating such a magical place for others to enjoy. We hope you take a break yourselves and make it out to Buckhorn Springs for your own getaway!"

  Margarita, Bend, OR 3.10.12

  Keefe & Cathy, Seattle, WS 2.13.12

 

"WildSpring was a surprise bday getaway from my fiancé, Pat. What a beautiful thing you both have going on here.

"My husband and I - we're not very good at relaxing. this place, however, changed that. Although we live not so far away - this seems as if a different planet. From cups of hot chocolate - staring at the stars - watching the snow (yes, snow!) fall - to brainstorming baby names - it was the perfect getaway." Thanks you."

  Anna & Jason, Eureka, CA 1.16.12

 

"Happy New Year wishes. The wheel of the year turns to cold damp winds, yet we were snug in our wee cabin in the woods. You've created magical retreat of peace and simple pleasures at WildSpring. Thank you for the brief respite from daily cares. It was a memorable way to celebrate a birthday & the new year. Your dining recommendations were perfect too. Just wish we could have had a longer shower time (Ed note: we fixed that); the heating system took getting used to. The food, amenities & laces to walk, the ambiance and your hospitality cast a spell on us. We hat to leave! Loved the fairies & wood sprites."

  Linda & Bill, Takilman OR 1.1.12

 

"Thans you! I am not a poetic man. Nor am I often moved by something so subtle. So when this broken war vet says "thank you," please know it is filled with so much. You and the blessings of God you have shared, have brought me a moment of peace, of rest and of joy. I could stay in the maze for hours. I fell asleep at 4pm our of nowhere. My wife & I had a most relaxing and blessed time. I could finally be still and know HE'll lead. What a blessing your property & your hospitality were to us. And thank you for sharing your story with us. I am pretty sure you guys thought of everything. Thank you."

  David & Selina M., Aveyron, France 5.13.11

 

"You have created something truly amazing! So often I've been somewhere but not felt free to wander. Here it really is a home away from home. It is everything I could have wished for and more! The spa was amazing, and even if it was too foggy to see the ocean or the stars, the bats put on spectacular show and completely made up for it! This is probably the rainiest vacation I've ever had, but it is definitely the best!"

  Amanda, Portland, OR 4.17.11

 

"My husband & I came down for a grown-up getaway and this place could not have been more perfect. Raintree is a beautiful & relaxing cabin, we love everything about it. WildSpring is an amazing and magical place. Thank you Michelle & Dean for making your dream a reality and sharing it with us.

"Monday, March 21: We drove from Portland, OR. I was so excited to just get away - how peaceful. I love the furniture and as we sat by the ocean I saw a hummingbird. Ms. Scarlett greeted us with a kind meow - she sure found a wonderful home. Thanks for the air, light, and peaceful surroundings. Can't wait to go hiking tomorrow and relax in the hot tub. Tues, March 22: A glorious day with a yearling, hummingbirds and sun - the roar of the ocean is a (can't read) of the soul. Wed, March 23: Nice calm morning - wonderful breakfast prepared by Dean/Michelle. We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful cabin - great peaceful place to relax. I will remember the beautiful sorbet roses and smell of sea air as we part to head north to our next adventure. Blessed to those souls who are lucky to find this beautiful piece of Oregon. Till we meet again on life's journey, remember to ponder nature's beauty and wisdom."

"We're in love with the place."

  Q & Lindsay, 10.20.10

 

"When I first saw the online site for your establishment, I was struck with the unusual use of "guest" and "habitat" in the name. We've spent a lot of time on the Oregon coast (north, central & south) both in hotels and in our motor home at RV parks. After our 3 night stay, I have to admit that you truly have created an unusual and restful habitat for gusts. It was relaxing and re-energizing here. Thanks for all of your hard work and thoughtful planning."

  10.11.10

 

"What a remarkable place! We have so enjoyed our two nights here. We hiked the Cape Blanco trail - really recommend it. It has everything - the forest, the beach. Very beautiful. Staying in our little cabin in the woods, knowing the ocean is nearby. This is a magical spot we hope we can come back to. Thank you for making our trip down the Oregon coast so unique and special."

We'll pass the word to the folks back home. Hope to return sometime. Dean's breakfast alone would send us back this way. Thank you!"

  Karen & Mike O., East Lansing, MI 9.5.10

 

"Another incredible week in Oregon was made even better by calling WildSpring our home for a short time. And the weather was absolutely fabulous as well! The best part of the trip, however, was when Matt proposed to me on Wednesday! Port Orford has always held a special place in my heart, but now I know it is etched on my soul Forever."

  Steve & Lucy, 7.21.10

 

"Dreams dreamt can become dreams dreamt that move others to dream, and on dreaming do they see the tree w/n the forest as emblematic of the whole and as perfectly singular and beautiful on its own! Here's to seeing the trees w/n our own forests of dreams and tending them, planting and nurturing them, so that someday they too become and in their becomingness attract foe trees similar until another magical grove appears out of the mist."

"A perfect weekend in a peaceful and beautiful surround. Thank you for facilitating such a loving context - WildSpring - for my husband & I to come together again."

"Just traveling through on 101 and happened to see your wonderful place in a magazine. We were very lucky that you had an opening for one night.

  Debbie & Mark, Sandia Park, NM 6.10

 

"My extended stay at WildSpring has been everything I hoped for this vacation. It was the perfect mix of solitude, tranquility and luxury. It was a great pleasure to go out hiking (Port Orford Heads, Cape Blanco) or agate hunting (3 times at Agate Beach!) and come back "home" at the end of the day The outdoor spa every night was superb. One night a doe and buck even wandered down by the spa during their feeding. One the first morning walking from the cabin to Guest Hall for breakfast, the smells and sounds of the woods brought back memories of happy summers from long ago. Thank you very much for following your dream and creating this place."

  Naomi M., Idaho 5.18.10

 

"This is my anniversary and I started out just wanting something special for my wife. What I got was something much more. Beautiful scenery, ocean views, a relaxing environment. Not to mention the best hospitality ever. This place is the best, I'm sad to be leaving but happy to know that we will come back. Happy anniversary sweetheart, and thank you Michelle & Dean. See you soon."

"This has been the most romantic experience of my life. I honestly can say that this is paradise. Heaven on earth. The weather was very cold and rainy when we arrived and then turned into this beautiful day of hiking and walking on the beach. The bed is so comfortable and I absolutely love every little detail about his wonderful place. I think we want to spend every anniversary here. I can't wait to tell everyone I know about how amazing it was here. Ahh....Heaven on earth!"

  Brandon & Rose B, Roseburg, OR 3.25.10

 

"Fabulous place you have here - we wish I'd known about it before I started planning my trip because we'd have stayed for much, much longer. Will definitely be coming back - hopefully sooner rather than later - to stay here and (?) me more. All the best."

"We were lucky to find a free space here on our west coast road trip and luckier that yo u persuaded Paula & Christophe to open for your guests. We planned the start of our holiday in Portland and its end in San Francisco, but left this portion to chance and having a small mystery tour. Last night we were on the ocean & woken by the tide crashing on rocks, this morning we wake slowly as light filters through the woods and rain patters on the roof. Magic!"

  Jo  & Chris R, US 2.25.10

 

"Thank you for a relaxing and magical time. One week was just enough to go home and feel like we had 4 weeks of vacation. The breakfast and hot tub a perfect delight. We could not wanted for anything. Everything here was and is done with love and thought. Thank you for a wonderful memory."

"My wive, Alexa, and I just loved this pace so very much. Perfect for our ten-year anniversary. So many things were wonderful here. The views, the sheets, the shower, the trees, the nice guy with the cross necklaces, the invisible water and dolphins, the sink in the guest cabin is my favorite item on the property. Oh and the hot tub is just sweet. My wife loves the bed and I had such a hard time getting her out of it. Oh and she just loves how the nice sheriff pulls everyone over and welcomes them to Port Orford. It seems a strange greeting, but there are so many of them that must be the reason. Got to have those sheriffs to make everyone happy. We will be back."

"Seeing Stars

We arrive to flowers in a vase,
a peach rose, a dahlia, we think,
and some unnamable stalk
with its hovering nebula of yellow buds.

After a dinner of bread and wine
we decide on a night walk
and close the cabin door
on a constellation of crumbs.

The woodchip path, which leads
to the spa and bench beyond,
both overlooking the dark harbor,
is lit by moons for moths.

Look up! This is the sky
which inspired the myths -
historical honey, original milk
spilled on a black table.

Back in cabin number two,
seven candles light the bed.
One by one we blow them out,
each a wish, each a star."

  Michael Susan, Grants Pass, OR 10.9.09

 

"What a magical enchanted forest. Thanks so much for your beautiful vision and endeavors of love. It was all so splendid; we will stay longer next time. Let us know when your huge shaman arrives. We will celebrate together."

Until then, we will just camp out in the woods in your surrounding property hahaha It is so lovely here.

Dean and Michelle really have every detail thought out, from the extra candles to the fresh and local breakfast, to the little alcoves, of art strategically placed throughout the acreage. What a great two days. Smiles,"

  Karla & Adam, Hillsboro, OR 7.26.09

 

"Wildspring was recommended by a friend who thought we would like this place. The question, who wouldn't? Wind in the majestic trees, sun on the blue Pacific. "Mama" deer with her twin fawns, serenity...and of course, your caring attention to detail. We are blessed to have been able to share your beautiful corner of the world for even just a few days. Thank you for a lovely stay! Peace,"

  Bill and Linda C, Madison, WI 7.15.09

 

"What a very special & unique environment you have created at WildSpring. You are to be commended on such wisdom & fortitude! And now, we have been the fortunate beneficiaries of all that you dreamed. So thank you for being! Our Raintree cabin was full of wondrous delights at every turn with every amenity to create a serene and life-affirming environment. We loved every special little detail and have great appreciation for all your lovely choices in furnishings and decor. While it is true that we too live in another beautiful part of the Pacific NW, the OR coast is definitely unique unto itself. Aren't we all fortunate to be immersed in this great beauty. Thank you for all!"

  Sue & Drew S, Washougal, WA 7.14.09

 

"Thank you for helping us remember what it means to relax. We are always on the go all 24/7 & we forget to do things...what (?) looks like to take a deep breath and...relax! What beautiful land & view especially on the deck at sunset - sipping a wonderful bottle of Oregon Pinot & realizing how lucky we are to share this beautiful earth!"

  Tim & Tiffany, Sherwood, OR 6.25.09

 

"We came to celebrate 25 years of marriage and found a spot as wondrous as those 25 years together. Highlights: Every small detail of design and decor (some to be replicated in Boulder...). A whale sighted in the bay (NEVER to be replicated in Boulder!). The walk at the lifeboat House where we recognized the western cousins of wildflowers and birds we've come to know by name over the years spent living further east on the continent. Waking up under sheltering trees in a bed that was incredibly comfortable - so much so we almost missed breakfast (classic case of bed vs breakfast, and bed almost won). Tracking the dancing flight of swallows from the hot tub and enjoying them those talents & this place to call home. Thank you for providing such a lovely, tranquil, and soulful backdrop for us as we continue on our little journey together."

  Sara & Keith E, Boulder CO 6.12.09

  “On a solo drive from SFO to Seattle, struck hard by the coast road and its incredible views. Aloneness is a real indulgence & staying here, alone, almost supernatural. Fish & whips & wine & sunset. Hot tub under the stars. THE brightest quarter moon of my life. Off this morning to say hello to Sixes, where I spent my 22nd summer working at Camp Himuiger (sp/?), & away to Seattle. Much will have changed there, and maybe a little of me will be changes, too. Thanks for the peace,”

This place will always be special to us, and we look forward to coming back to this heaven-like oasis. We are in the midst of our Oregon Adventure Honeymoon, including Yachats, WildSpring, Florence, then off to the mountains *Sunriver) for some snow shoeing, skiing, and cuddling up by the fire. I must say, we thoroughly enjoyed all the love and energy that went into creating every detail of this truly magical place. Thank you Dean, Michell, Lani, and all who helped to create & maintain. Thank you for sharing.”
  Llama & Tim T., Salem OR 12.23.08

  Megan & Matt L, White Hall, MD 10.1.08

  “I am celebrating my 61st birthday here. Now I think I should make this an annual tradition. I think I need more time to discover all the delightful art objects in the leaves & grass.

WildSpring seems to have spring up from the nature around it…doesn’t detract from the natural beauty of the trees and forest greenery…it actually enhances it. The view from the deck will be etched in our memories. Miss Scarlett, the cat, brought back recent memories of our own “Miss Katie Scarlett”…I’m sure, no accident. WildSpring is a slice of heaven we will not forget. Thank you for your gracious hospitality.”

Mercifully, even the frumpy places fill up here for the 4th July. Hence our needing to arrange our stay at WildSpring. Once my husband saw what you were offering, he extended his time off from work and in turn extended my time here to match. Thank you for this glorious offering.

The surroundings are beautiful and I enjoyed the whimsical figurines set in with them are serious ornaments. It reminds me not to take life too seriously and that it’s okay to have fun.

A soak in the tub, a hot fudge sundae, a quiet CD, a great movie, a black sky sparkling with starts…you haves have it all figured out!. We’ll be back (unless we’re actually in heaven right now having unknowingly crossed over to the other side. That’s how it feels!)"

  “The term “guest habitat” sounded unusual. But you have certainly defined it! It could become “habitual.” I grieve having to leave. This has been two tranquil days of long-needed peace and relaxation. Thank you for creating such an environment that puts my inner soul at peace. I can’t remember the last time I have slept so well or felt so pampered.”
