Siletz Sanctuary II — Riverfront, Single-Floor Living (30+ nights)



Set right on the glassy Siletz River, Siletz Sanctuary II is the kind of place where mornings begin with birdsong and a cup of coffee on the deck while the mist lifts off the water. The home sits behind a gated entry in the quiet Siletz River Valley—peaceful and private—yet you’re only minutes from Lincoln City’s beaches and Depoe Bay’s whale-watching harbor. It’s designed for longer stays (30+ nights), so traveling professionals and coastal escape artists can settle in, exhale, and actually live here.



Inside, everything unfolds on a single level across roughly 2,700 square feet. You enter through a beautifully carved front door into a great room wrapped in a wall of windows that looks straight out to the river. A canoe chandelier glows overhead in the evenings, and a large fireplace anchors the space for post-beach warm-ups and chill nights in. When it’s movie time, the large-screen smart TV is ready to stream, and a proper wet bar—with sink and glassware—keeps happy hour effortless without monopolizing the kitchen.



Speaking of the kitchen, it’s a true cook’s space: full-size appliances, generous prep areas, and stained-glass cabinets that catch the daylight just so. Meals flow easily to the adjacent breakfast bar and dining area, where you can spread out a laptop between courses or linger over board games when the wind picks up outside.



The primary suite is a retreat of its own, positioned for direct river views so you wake to water and sky. The ensuite bath is spa-calm with a double vanity and a generous shower, and just steps away you’ll find the sauna—your best friend after a coastal hike or a long shift. Two additional bedrooms each have queen beds and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with custom tile and a tub/shower combo. To set expectations clearly: one of these queen rooms includes a closet; the other is outfitted with a full dresser. A convenient powder room also serves the main living area.



Life flows outdoors here. From the riverside deck you can watch herons patrol the shoreline and ospreys ride the thermals. Fire up the built-in BBQ and eat outside at golden hour while the water turns mirror-smooth. When the mood strikes, wander down to your private dock—cast a line, dangle your feet, or slip a kayak into the water and explore the calm bends of the Siletz (use at your own risk and mind the conditions - the river experiences strong tidal flows).



Practicalities are handled: high-speed Wi-Fi for video calls and streaming, full-size laundry with supplies, secure keyless entry, and plenty of space to come and go. There’s a two-car garage for easy unloading, plus ample additional parking on the property—enough room for a boat trailer or even an RV if your adventure requires it.



The home is purpose-built for mid-term living. Rooms are calm and uncluttered for real rest between shifts; there are multiple spots to perch with a laptop; and the kitchen makes everyday routines simple. It’s a great fit for traveling nurses and clinicians, engineers on assignment, relocations, insurance stays, sabbaticals, and anyone who wants the Oregon coast without giving up the comforts of home.



When you’re ready to roam, you’re close to everything that makes this stretch of coast special. Lincoln City offers miles of beach for kites and tidepools, plus the Lincoln City Glass Center where you can watch artisans work—or try it yourself. Depoe Bay’s seawall is famous for year-round whale sightings and a harbor full of charter boats and salty stories. Hikers gravitate to Cascade Head for big-sky viewpoints and protected habitats, while the Salishan Spit delivers wide, wind-brushed beach walks and excellent birding. Golfers will find a beautiful, coastal-air round at Salishan Coastal Lodge. And if food is your love language, you’re spoiled for choice—from classic chowder houses to chef-driven seafood, with breweries and Oregon pinot never far away.



A few notes to keep everything smooth: the minimum stay is 30 nights; registered guests only and no events so the valley stays serene; quiet hours begin at 10 pm; and because you’re on the river, dock and kayak use are at your own risk—life jackets are strongly recommended and conditions can change quickly. If you have questions about periodic housekeeping just ask before booking so we can tailor the stay to your needs.



Why guests choose Siletz Sanctuary II: it’s true riverfront living with the rare luxury of a private dock and kayaks; artisan touches everywhere you look—from stained glass to that unforgettable canoe chandelier; a generous single-floor layout that makes daily life easy; cozy evenings by the fireplace and effortless entertaining at the wet bar; quick access to beaches, whales, trails, and glass art; and the kind of quiet you can feel, even with the doors open. Settle in, spread out, and make the coast your home.
