Elkton accommodation from AU$88

A beautiful cottage overlooking the hills of Elkton. Quiet, small town - except for the logging trucks barreling down into town (but it IS Oregon) - with a great grocery/everything store and 2 restaurants and a Mexican food cart. The Osprey were raising their chicks on their designated telephone pole along the river in April, which was fun to watch. You could hear them flying overhead calling to each other.Then the rhododendrons came out between the cottage and the next one over. Wow! Brilliant colors.The carport is a bonus as the parking is snug for the other 4 cottages in this complex.Having the cottage professionally cleaned before we arrived would have been nice. My only comment.You can certainly get a good hike in walking the town’s hills though up at the water tower there’s a dirt road that goes for a few miles through some gorgeous trees and wild flowers.And, if you're a walker, you can go from here along Elk Creek on Schad Rd as it’s beautiful, ending in an equestrian ranch and vineyard. It takes about 50 minutes each way. You get to it by going under the bridge.ECCE also has a lovely walking trail as well as gardening education and starts, a monarch hatching hut and the replica of Fort Umpqua which has so much history.Listen for the church bells at 9:45 every Sunday morning. They made me feel like I belonged to a small community of very friendly people.We stayed for 2 and 1/2 months while house hunting and William was very helpful and gracious.
