Four miles from the Pacific Ocean, a cedar-clad cabin rests on the banks of a pristine year-round creek
Look around you. You’re surrounded by rushing water, primeval plant life, and thousands of acres of national forest. The land is a web of open fields, coastal meadows, and babbling brooks pouring off the hillsides and percolating up out of the fertile earth. We call the place Sweet Root Hollow, for the tiny ferns that grow from countless mossy trees here.
The cabin:
A masterpiece of custom woodwork, the 1200 sq. ft. cabin is big enough to sleep 6 comfortably—7 if you include the daybed in the living room. Beadboard and built-ins, vaulted ceilings and skylights all anchored by a wood-burning stove in the living room. Enjoy a full kitchen, built-in dining table, living room, private bedroom and an upstairs L with a bed at either end. A huge deck spans the back of the home looking down into Farmer Creek and up into the trees.

The Land:
All told, Sweet Root Hollow encompasses 12 acres crisscrossed by multiple trails. The other side of the creek is a 90-acre preserve and the rest is Siuslaw National Forest. Despite being just a mile from Highway 101 and 20 minutes from the beach at Pacific City, Sweet Root Hollow is wonderfully private and feels miraculously remote. Exuding independence, natural beauty and wildness, it is an ideal place to disconnect and get away from it all.
When we became the stewards of the property, we invited a group of biologists and ecologists out to walk with us to help us better understand how we could be in reciprocity with the land and the water. Their reply? “This place is perfect. Don’t mess it up.”
We agree, and that’s how we’ve oriented towards the place ever since. Come stay here and you’ll find open meadows, dense forest, rushing water and the full-body joy of releasing all your cares.
