Charming Private Cottage in Southern Oregon Close to I-5 & NO surprise fees

Private guesthouse in Myrtle Creek, Oregon just steps away from the 18-hole world-class Myrtle Creek Golf Club.

Conveniently located just 1.8 miles from EXIT 108 on I-5 in South Douglas County.

The 600-square foot guesthouse has hardwood floors throughout that were reclaimed from a local high school gymnasium. The previous owner was an interior designer who put all her heart into the property after the loss of the love of her life.

On-street parking. Private entrance. Scenic views all around.

Our property has stairs. Please review our property photos.

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

PRIVACY: the cottage can only be seen from the Golf Course Club House and the deck of the main house. See photo in listing.

We have two security cameras located in the driveway and on the main house deck pointing east. There are no cameras at or in the cottage.

NATURE at your doorstep: On our property we have deer, (we have a doe that usually beds down with her fawns under the cedars just outside your living room window), raccoons, opossums, fox, the occasional skunk and there is a trail that the nutria take from the wetlands area between the cottage and the golf course that ends in your front yard. The frogs will serenade you in the evening during certain times of the year and the stars are bright.

Birds are plentiful, from hummingbirds to Canada geese. We have hawks, falcons, all number of small birds and lots of wild turkeys.

AMENITIES: Free Internet access - WiFi and Ethernet, streaming video, refrigerator (not tiny, but apartment-sized), microwave, induction cook top with all pots, pans and utensils. Toaster oven and grill on request!

DECOR: The cottage was built with a very country / farmhouse style. It has dutch doors, reclaimed gymnasium hardwood floors throughout, vaulted ceilings. There are cool stories behind everything inside.

Sleeping arrangements: The cottage is ideal for 1 or 2 guests ( a couple) as there is only one bed (Queen).

The bathroom has a shower. It does not have a bathtub.

We are situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on a short street. Our 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.

Please do not smoke or vape anything in or near the cottage. If smoking of any kind has occurred, we must do a complete deep clean as we are a smoke-free facility. This will incur a $250 charge for your group. Thank you for understanding.

If you are golfing for your stay, no vehicle necessary! The golf course is literally 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 :)

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! On the other hand, if you'd like to share a cup of coffee sometime, come on up and say hello :)

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". It is a small, friendly community with small town appeal, but also modern with the times.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be within walking distance of Millsite Park. The cottage offers free WiFi and a kitchenette.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchenette, fireplace and patio
  • Free WiFi
  • Just a 2-minute drive from Evergreen Park and a few minutes from Millsite Park

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.

Bright and cozy with the kindest hosts
We stayed at the cottage while in town for a family event, which we booked after we were unable to find hotel rooms, and we are so glad we did as our stay was so much more comfortable and pleasant than any hotel could have provided. The cottage was so inviting - perfectly clean and cozy, with comfy furniture, and stocked with coffee, tea, and breakfast items - all of which afforded us the luxury of peace and relaxation at our 'base camp' during what was a bit of a hectic weekend. Furthermore, Anya and Ken were incredibly accommodating and worked with us to add an extra night to our reservation (with almost no notice) when we found that we needed to be in town for another day. Anya responded nearly immediately any time we reached out, so between the excellent communication, their kindness and flexibility, and the wonderful accommodations, we sincerely couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you, Anya and Ken, for sharing your home with us and for the peace of mind you enabled while we were there. We will absolutely be looking to stay at the cottage again next time we are in town!

Ken and Anya are the most amazing hosts! I stayed here (with my fur baby) while I started a new job and waited for my husband to catch up and move into our new home. The setting is idealic with so many birds and deer and the air conditioner and bed/cottage were perfect. I was spoiled with home made cookies by Ken and magnolia blooms off their tree. You will love it here!! Thank you Ken and Anya!

Quiet with lovely views
We stayed here one night on a long road trip from Homer Alaska to Medford Oregon. It was a nice quiet getaway for two road weary seniors. We enjoyed the mountain and golf course views, the birds at the feeders, the cat that greeted us and the deer that walked by the cottage.
