We were looking for a unique lodging experience on the coast for some R&R, and we certainly found it at WildSpring. The owners were attentive and responsive, and we loved the use of the guest hall that came equipped with a full kitchen we could use to cook meals, as well as epic ocean views and plenty of lounge space. This hall was stocked with games, tables, comfy chairs, music, and a DVD library. The cabins were comfortable, though we missed having ocean views from this area, but the overall layout was nice and we did enjoy being tucked in among the trees. The outdoor spa area was delightful, and my time in the hot tub was the highlight of my stay. One star was removed because while willing to accommodate pets in their one pet-friendly cabin, Wildspring really is not pet-friendly. As the owners explained, they have had negative experiences hosting pets in the past, and as a result, many restrictive rules are in place beyond the standard when bringing a pet. We respected and understood this, but given the very limited spaces pets are allowed on premises, and the non-refundable pet fee (and refundable pet deposit, which we didn't receive back in full) it just isn't worth it to bring a pet. We would go back, and in fact, have recommended this retreat to others, but will not return with our dog. Come and enjoy, but leave pets at home. They are not welcome here.…

Hi, we’re glad you thought so well of WildSpring, outside of its doggie policies. We designed WildSpring - and its policies - to protect the comfortable luxury here for all our guests…including those who choose to bring their doggie family members. We would like to gently point out that you agreed to our policies in order to bring your pet here…which are easy to find on our website, are explained during our online booking service, and we email you a copy with your confirmation. I remember going over them with you on the phone and you said you thought they were reasonable and understood what we were trying to accomplish to balance the needs of all our guests. In short… a dog cannot be off leash outside the cabins to prevent them from jumping on other guests, doing their business randomly throughout the property and harassing the other gentle animals here (chpmonks, squirrels and deer); if they are left inside a cabin alone, they need to be in a kennel to prevent them damaging it trying to get out to join their family; if you would like them to share a couch with you, we provide a nice big doggie blanket to protect the chenille fabric from dog hair; and they are never allowed on the bed…since we understand no one wants to sleep in a bed shared by other guest’s dogs. Our policies are designed to protect our other guests as well as WildSpring. We charge a security deposit that we refund the day of departure if all is well. Unfortunately we found your bed covered with your dog’s hair, so we needed to keep some of the security deposit for special cleaning of the duvet. We do love dogs here, it’s the owners we keep trying to wrangle.

We really enjoyed our four nights at The WildSpring Guest Habitat . Our cosy cabin was very well equipped and situated in a peaceful, woodland location. A tasty, self service breakfast is available in the spacious and attractive guest hall and guests may prepare their own meals too. Outside the guest hall, there is a large external balcony area with fine vews of the Pacific Ocean. This accommodation is close to some stunning coastal scenery and there are a number of excellent walking trails in the area.

We were heading up the Northern California, Southern Oregon coast and this was our favorite place we stayed. We were in cabin 5 for 2 nights. The cabin was clean and so comfortable. The shower is big and the great supply of hot water was wonderful after a day of exploring and hiking. Each cabin is nestled in the trees, so there is plenty of privacy. We did not see anyone else until we were departing. To us that is perfect. The grounds are charming to stroll, well kept up with areas of hammocks, tables, benches and cute statuary. We were there at the beginning of August and the weather was wonderful, the sun was shining but I can imagine that in the winter the cabins could be dark. Which would also be perfect. Since Covid we have noticed changes in the hospitality businesses, and we assume that is the case here with the "Continental Breakfast" the first morning I walked to the main hall to see about breakfast, no other guests were there and all I saw were bagels, and bread to toast, there also was juice and yogurt in the fridge. A nice touch was a bag for each cabin with, power bars, chocolates, fruit and cheese. We would love to return and will tell others what a peaceful, charming place WildSpring is. We really enjoyed our stay.…

On July 14, we embarked on a 14-day road-trip to celebrate our 40th Anniversary and my wife's birthday. We began the trip in San Francisco and drove the coast from Mendocino to Vancouver, Canada. Along the way, we hiked and explored the Oregon coast. We were looking for unique B&B's - and we found one of the "best" at Wild Spring. Tucked away above the Oregon coast in Port Orford, Wild Spring is an oasis set among the trees. It features 5 Wood Cabins, each with a different theme. The setting is perfect. The ambiance of the serene wooded setting is inviting. Michelle and Dean are wonderful hosts. And the private hot tub overlooking the Pacific was a much needed amenity after a day of hiking. All in all a wonderful experience that is not to be missed. Take a break and get away to Wild Spring.…

It was a grand treat to stay in a lovely cottage near the Oregon ocean. Staying at the charming cottage in the quiet woods was so peaceful. The wooden cottage we rented was so beautifully decorated. It was the quietest and most comfortable 😌 sleep I have ever experienced. We loved going into the outdoor spa that looks out to the ocean. The serve-yourself continental breakfast has so many options to eat. Breakfast is held in a house near the spa with a grand view of the ocean. Everything about our stay was delightful. 92978 Cemetery Loop Rd, Port Orford, OR 97465

This place is magical. I loved my stay here. My family and I decided to splurge after a 2 week camping trip and this was just what we needed. The rooms are big enough for 4 people, there is a kitchen where they provide a nice filling breakfast and the owners are extremely accommodating. I highly suggest staying here.

We enjoyed the change of pace from hotel stays while we traveled from San Francisco to Portland. All was as promised with the exception of a $25 Covid cleaning charge. Usually I go to check out, but this time the owner was not available in the office first thing in the morning. When I received the emailed bill later ,charged to my credit card, there was a $25 " Covid cleaning" charge. I emailed the owner about it, but heard nothing. Perhaps there may have been some extra cleaning at the beginning of Covid, but now I think it is just an excuse to tack a $25 charge on the bill.

Hi, I understand having an unexpected charge show up can be quite disconcerting, which is why we explain on three site pages and at the beginning of our online reservation system that carries rates and policies that we charge a special Covid cleaning fee - which we waive for stays of 2 nights or longer. We take our guests well-being very seriously here and follow the detailed directives of our County and State Health Departments to protect our guests from Covid exposure: https://www.wildspring.com/pdfs/WildSpringCovid-19Procedures.pdf. This adds an hour to our normal cleaning procedures. Instead of simply raising our rates, we broke the additional time requirement into this special charge, so at least you are not charged city and state lodging taxes on it as well. And I'm sorry, I did not receive your email or I would certainly have responded. We look forward to the time we can all relax and hope this clarifies this.

What a hidden gem, our cabin was beautiful and very clean. Check in is very easy; the grounds are so peaceful and beautiful. Very close to restaurants; we ate at Redfish and loved it! The only complaint I have is the mask issue. On the check-in directions, one side said to wear a mask in common areas; the other side said no need to wear mask if vaccinated. When my husband and I were checking out the breakfast area the evening we checked in, we ran into the owner and he informed us we needed to be masked. We were fine wearing masks but if this is the policy the directions should be clear. It was a bit uncomfortable after that. The next morning we wore our masks and things were better. Breakfast is continental; they had a big variety and plenty to choose from. The fresh bagels and croissants were great! The shower was amazing, lots of hot water and room to enjoy. I only wish we had booked another night!…

Thank you for all the lovely thoughts. And we understand how disconcerting it could be to be surprised by a request to wear a mask...which is why we have a sign at the entrance to the Guest Hall (our one common area for all guests) that masks are required except while eating (this is at our Governor's directive), as well as in the confirmation emails we sent and on a special Covid-precaution sheet we put on top of our Registration Packet you received upon arrival. We are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of our guests and staff...and of course, following the directives we are currently required to observe. I will also pass your comments on to RedFish. We hope you return....and that life will have restored itself and masks are no longer a part of our daily lives.

This part of the Oregon coast is magnificent and very much worth visiting. Accommodations (other than standard motels) are uncommon. This place has 5 cabins set in the woods. There is privacy and quiet. Being in the woods, it is also quite dark. My conflict really is about the vision here. It feels to me (an Oregonian) like the place belongs in California. Or Sedona. It has that insistently, self-conscious "healing" vibe. The cabins are stuffed with vintage/ antique finds, which is charming. But also feels claustrophobic (especially because of how dark it is). The breakfast "buffet" does not feel lovingly chosen (nor did it vary at all from day to day). Oddly, it includes a local jam but store-bought bread/ bagels and flavored, high-sugar little yogurts. None of this comes cheap. Yet the settling is glorious. Thus the conflict.…

Hi, yes, we understand that nestling within our lovely second-growth forest of 100-ft trees, it can be a bit dark. This is why we have all sorts of lighting in the cabins, and most are on rheostats that can be dimmed or brightened to taste. I'm afraid I don't know how to respond to the thought that WildSpring belongs in California or Sedona because of its "healing" vibe. Maybe "thanks"? As far as the breakfast, we had to give up on our full hot breakfast buffet because of the new County Health requirements due to Covid....which essentially took out buffets everywhere. So we put out a wide variety of cereals, breads, dairy, fruits, beverages, etc, as well as added a daily ToGo Treat Bag to try to make up for it. We make our own granola, grind the coffee fresh each morning. The jam we serve is actually Sarabeth, which we have shipped in from New York, considered by many the gold standard of commercial jams. We also serve Yoplait yogurt because we like the bright fruit flavors...as well as plain yogurt and cottage cheese of course, and all sorts of beverages - all of which is available 24/7...including popcorn, dark chocolate kisses and little Italian tropical fruit candies. I hope you had a chance to enjoy our 1000-gallon, open-air slate jetted hot tub overlooking the ocean...we're particular proud of that and is our homage to Esalen in Big Sur. We do love the wildness and underdevelopment in the south Oregon coast and tried to create a place that would offer comfortable luxury in a naturally beautiful environment. If a guest finds this a healing spot within our fast-paced busy lives....great.

I wish we could have stayed much longer because we were just getting into the delicious feeling of being genuinely relaxed when it was time to go. The grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained, the cabins are well-equipped and comfortable, and the guest hall provides every amenity you can think of for eating or passing the time. The view off the deck of the guest hall is of the ocean, but you're surrounded by curious chipmunks, chirping birds, and flitting butterflies, creating a real connection with nature. They are very well set up and organized to keep things safe during the pandemic and my friend and I look forward very much to staying there again. The owners are lovely people and helped us to feel right at home the moment we arrived. Highly recommend.
