Charming, Private Cottage near I-5 and Golf Course.

****************
APRIL 2025: Temporary notice: Douglas County experienced historic rains and flooding in March. As a result, we are having to renew the landscaping in front of the cottage. There was no damage inside the cottage. We expect to be done by summer's end. If you would like to see photos before booking, please message us. Thank you!
****************


You'll be surrounded by peace and beauty in your private cottage in Myrtle Creek.

Conveniently located under 2 miles from EXIT 108 on I-5 at the very end of a cul-de-sac in a family friendly neighborhood.

600-square feet and lots of natural light and tall ceilings. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout that were reclaimed from an Oregon high school gymnasium.

We've spared nothing for your comfort. Please read our honest reviews! We know you'll love it here - and you might not want to leave!

PRIVACY: See photos in listing to see how private the cottage is. However, you may see Ken or Anya working in the garden on the hill above the cottage, or relaxing on the deck.

NATURE at your doorstep: On our property we have deer, (in spring and summer we have deer that usually bed down with fawns under the cedars just outside your living room window). The tree frogs will serenade you in the evening during certain times of the year and the stars are bright.

Birds are plentiful, from hummingbirds to Canadian geese. We have hawks, falcons, all number of small birds and lots of wild turkeys that roam around - watch out for their little "gifts."

AMENITIES: Free Internet access both WiFi and Cabled Ethernet.

KITCHENETTE: The refrigerator apartment-sized, not mini. Other small appliances include a microwave, induction cook top with all pots, pans and utensils. Beneath the white hutch you'll find other appliances such as a blender, a rice cooker, a crock pot, and a toaster oven. We have a one-cup coffee maker (keurig-style) that also brews hot water for tea as well as a 4-cup regular drip coffee maker.

DECOR: The cottage was built with a country / cottage / farmhouse open style. It has dutch doors, reclaimed gymnasium hardwood floors throughout, and open, vaulted ceilings. There is plenty of natural light and ceiling fans in each space. There are cool stories behind everything inside.

ABOUT US: 2018 was our first year hosting travelers. We hope to make your stay comfortable and memorable! We love people and are friendly. However, we will respect your privacy at all times.

ABOUT THE TOWN: Myrtle Creek has a motto: "Where nature is your neighbor." The town is nestled in one of Douglas County's more beautiful valleys right on the South Umpqua riverbank. It is also is known as "The gateway to the 100 valleys of the Umpqua." We're a small, friendly community with small town appeal, but also modern with the times.

PET FRIENDLY: We are pet friendly, however, please check the box when booking to let us know you will be bringing your pet.

You may use the entire cottage and its front yard. You'll park in front of the main house, then walk down the long, easy stairway to the cottage.

There is a gravel pathway that leads down through a field where you can access the golf course. If you walk through the field and go right, then left on Neal, you'll come to the Neal Lane covered bridge that spans South Myrtle Creek.

If you need anything, use your app to message us or we're just a phone call or a knock away! We will not be intruding on your stay. If you need anything, please let us know.

We are located in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. NOT in Myrtle Point (Yes, one guest actually made it all the way to Myrtle Point before realizing her mistake).

We are situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on a short street. Neighbors are nice! Since you'll be staying on the south side of the property, the only interaction you'd have with the neighbors would be when you come and go, as the parking is in front of the main house.

If you are golfing for your stay, no vehicle necessary! The golf course is next-door. For everything else, a car is needed. There are plenty of walking options if you're into nature walks, but to get to restaurants and venues, you will need a vehicle. We'll provide a local map if you need one :)

Absolutely no smoking on the property - thank you!

Adorable Cottage

This cottage is perfect. The owner/host was very nice, she was there for you whenever you needed anything, and gave you full privacy when you didn’t. It’s clean, comfy, and cozy with an amazing view of the mountains and a golf course. Adding to that, it’s pet friendly and there plenty of great places to walk your dog. I I highly recommend this place, just be aware that there’s about 25 stairs that gradually descend downhill to the cottage.

Cute little cottage

There is only one bedroom. The listing says two , but when you look at what type of beds in the listing, it says the couch pulls out to a bed, that pull out is in the living room. Definitely not for two couples. Family with one or two small children would work great. Don't plan on cooking meals, no room for preparation. There are plenty of dishes and utensils , There is a toaster oven and a single induction cook top but you have to put it on the small little counter and then it takes up most the space. If you do not need to prepare any meal 's , This place is adequate. It is a bit confusing when you first pull up, this cottage is behind the house and down about 25 steps in the hosts back yard/deck . Loading and unloading is difficult to say the least. It is very quiet, good air conditioning and three ceiling fans to circulate the air (it was 98 the day I arrived). Very private with the exception of the racoon that visited me at 10pm while I was sitting outside. I am not sure who scared who the most. we both ran. Very good communication with Anya, any time I sent a message it seemed she answered me within minutes. All and all great little place just a little expensive for a one bedroom in the location its in and no indoor privacy { the wall between the living room and bedroom is a 3/4 wall the top is open, and its double glass doors} and considering the difficulty of access to the unit.

Nice spot in Myrtle Creek!

My family stayed for one night on our way up the west coast. Was a great spot in good shape - kids had a blast exploring nearby outdoors. Owners were great and incredibly friendly. Cottage is completely separate and a bit of a distance from the main house, so no concerns with privacy. The property was just what we needed and had everything we'd want. Would happily return!

A quiet spot to rest

We stopped for only one night as we drove up the west coast. We have two large breed dogs - which the owner graciously allowed! The cottage is behind the main home and down a very well maintained and lit set of stairs; because it's down a bit it feels very private from the main house. Lots of nice big windows and a view to the golf course beyond. Plenty of room inside for us to relax and catch up on work emails, watch some TV, and fall asleep to the lovely sounds of frogs outside - not something we get a lot of in our daily routine! The town does roll up the sidewalks early particularly in the winter season, but we took advantage of some recommendations in the welcome binder and got ourselves a nice dinner-to-go from the local diner. Would recommend to anyone wanting some quiet downtime, or looking for an alternative to the off-the-highway hotel options that usually come with a road trip. Thank you!!

Quaint and convenient

I booked this place because it allowed dogs and was close to my parents home. It was perfect and exactly as described. It was bigger than i expected as well. The host, Anya, was so nice and accommodating. The only things that would make it better would be a small stove and more cabinet space for groceries. I would definitely stay here again though.

Peaceful and comfortable

Cougar Canyon Cottage was the perfect landing place for our family as we made our way from CA to WA to our new home. We enjoyed a week of rest and were able to re-energize in Myrtle Creek halfway through our journey. We absolutely loved the peacefulness and the sheer beauty of the location. Added to that was the thoughtfulness of our hosts in providing a well appointed cottage which was stocked with everything we might need and more! Both the check-in and check-out processes were easy to understand and our hosts were great at communicating with us. We really couldn't have had a better experience that what we enjoyed at Ken & Anya's place. We look forward to coming back some time soon.
