We were very happy with our stay. This was the first overnight road trip for our 1-1/2 year old dog, and she loved it. She played with the resident dogs and we had multiple fenced-in locations we could let her out into.
The cottage is charming, clean, well supplied, and comfortable.
We visited Brookings during unseasonably cold, windy, and rainy weather, but staying at the Pilot House meant that we were comfortable for the entire week. We watched the weather forecasts and would head out on hikes during breaks in the rain. During our downtime, we had an excellent place to relax.
The owners offered their sunroom so that we could hang out during the rainy times and still have a great view of the bay. The cottage doesn't have an ocean view, but the back patio area of the owner's home was made available for our use, and I always felt welcome there.
The owner let me look at another suite she is currently renovating which will have ocean views given that it's upstairs above the garage. I'd like to schedule a return visit to try it out, but I'd be happy back in the original cottage as well!
