OVERVIEW
Stay in your private detached guesthouse in Myrtle Creek just steps away from the 18-hole world-class Cougar Canyon Golf Course.
 
Conveniently located just 1.7 miles from EXIT 108 on I-5 in South Douglas County. Perfect for short stays and affordable, too.
 
The 600-square foot charming cottage has hardwood floors throughout that were reclaimed from a high school gymnasium.
 
Plenty of on-street parking. Long stairway down to cottage. Private entrance. Scenic views all around.

PRIVACY: the cottage can only be seen from the Golf Course Club House. However, you may see Ken or Anya watering or working in the garden on the hill above the cottage, or relaxing on the deck.

Follow @cougarcanyoncottage on Instagram to see nature unfold during the different seasons here on the property.
 
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 of all colors and sizes are plentiful, from hummingbirds to Canadian geese. We have hawks, falcons, wild turkeys, finches, grosbeaks, and more, depending on the season.

AMENITIES: Free Internet access, streaming Internet (Netflix) and cable TV through the Roku player, refrigerator (apartment-sized, not tiny), microwave, induction cook top with all pots, pans and utensils.
 
DECOR: The cottage was built with a very country / farmhouse style. It has dutch doors, reclaimed gymnasium hardwood floors throughout, and 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 comfortable queen bed. However, up to 4 guests are welcome if you don't mind an air mattress or sleeping pad on the living room floor.
