"A magical place - Powerful. Thank you. We needed some peace, some beauty. A place to breath. think, fully laugh. WildSpring was all that and so much more. Being here was an honor. We're sad to leave."

"Our stay has been perfect. We were so impressed with everything. You both have put a lot of thought into this place, from the candles, to the robes, wine glasses, and the wood for the fireplace. Everything has been perfect. We loved the atmosphere. Whoever designed and decorated everything did an amazing job. We both want to come back. This is the most memorable place I've stay so far. Thanx for everything. This has been the best Valentine's weekend! Everything was perfect!"

"Last night while enjoying the spa and the solitude under the stars, I was alone. I felt as a fetus nestled in the womb of this cosmic, spiritual nirvana. As mother earth's breath rose from the ocean, slowly climbing the bluff. I felt my spirit warming inside my body, evanescing, emanating from my fingers, my toes, my eyes. Gently her breath caressed me from my human shell, lifting me upward, like a mist rising in the canyons. My essence was gathering above the spa which gleamed like an emerald eye into the soul. I was drifting into the darkness of the night, out amongst my friends the firs, lifting higher ever so purposefully. Rising above the ferns, into the canopy. Below me I could feel the labyrinth calling to me, beckoning forth my inner energy, my chi. My spirit again began to gather, to intensify, to warm, gradually centering. Warmer and warmer, hotter and hotter, glowing, illuminating, swirling into oneness. Hotter and hotter.=, brighter and brighter, deeper and deeper,= into understanding and purpose. Melting away the shackles of fear and confusion, burning away the reigns of society, the limits of the human self. White hot rays, fingers of pure light began stretching from my center energy, reaching outward and inward. The forest began to warm, to fluoresce. My spirit energy enveloping nature, dissolving boundaries, absorbing into consciousness, into mother earth. She became me, and I here, one. Our awareness is boundless, forever knowing, forever belonging, forever. We are, we're here, we're home. Complete."

"What a unique place - no phones, no TV, no noise. Just us & nature - exactly how we like our vacations! We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this week, & had a wonderful time. What a beautiful lace you have, and a nice area. We've never been to the southern Oregon coast & it is truly gorgeous - rocky, rugged coastline with lots to explore! We'll be back."

"We were so blessed to be able to spend part of our honeymoon in this magical place. You two are truly generous to share this heaven on earth with others. If Oregon has a soul - it is WildSpring! Peace & Joy" ("The homemade marrionberry pie at the Crazy Norwegian is really really really GOOD! Excellent quality!!!")

"Thank you for such an enjoyable and relaxing time here - and also for the excellent recommendation of the Redfish for a wonderful dinner."

"You both have created a whimsical & magical place the two of will never forget! I can't say anything about WildSpring that hasn't already been beautifully said. But I can write to let you know that on our last night here, the last night of our first vacation together after being together for 6 years, we are now engaged. Such as enchanted place will be with me forever and I know we will be back to celebrate each of our anniversaries together. Anything can happen here on a whim - and on 10.21.10 it did...we thank you both for that!! Love Always,"

"A two days bliss! Serene, relaxing and away from the daily hustle and bustle. Thank you for your attention to detail and making our stay so pleasant. Out of this world ---"

"Peaceful, stunning, and saturated with pure, positive energy. We hope to come back one day. Thanks,"

"We had a wonderful 3 days! You were so creative in making this very relaxing. Everywhere you look is another surprise to enjoy. Thank you for arranging the massage - a great way to start the journey home. I felt a slight Sedona influence...another favorite place of ours. You guys were great & we're looking forward to our next visit."

"Sitting outside the "maze" thinking of clever things to write that have all been written before. We (heart) this "Post Ranch style" of paradise. You two did right! The spiritual feel surrounds this oasis of incredible beauty and peace. And not to forget Michelle's cooking! Yum! Yum! And "adult friendly" get-away. The 24-7 kitchen access is a great idea. Thank you both for sharing your dreams with us."

"Today was a very special day for us. Kaelee & I were married here. The Trees, our family of new friends here to share this new journey with us. This place is so beautiful & inspiring it made our day perfect. Thank you."

"WildSpring and you, its creators, are truly inspirational! We had a wonderful couple of days exploring Port Orford and the beautiful grounds here. Thank you for the generous & delicious breakfast, the relaxing spa and the tranquility. The trails at Port Orford Heads have the most stunning views, it's breathtaking to see the ocean through the trees. We enjoyed some wonderful meals at Redfish, Paula's Bistro and Crazy Norwegians. Cape Blanco lighthouse and the Hughes House were very interesting. Thank you so much for all the care you've taken here, your attention to detail in the amenities and surroundings are much appreciated. We especially enjoyed all the sculpture and other touches along the trails. We look forward to returning soon."

"One of the most tranquil places. The quiet was much needed. You have created a magnificent oasis. Absolutely loved the mother deer and her fawn."

"What a beautiful setting outside the most charming little town. Love Port Orford and this great little cabin."

"Beautiful and serene. Thank you,"

"A quick one-night stopover quickly became three nights because we couldn't leave! WildSpring was the perfect place for our post-wedding detox...where we learned ho to relax (and sleep!) again. We will be back!"

"We're been all over the world and WildSpring is at the top of our list. So many thoughtful touches in a one of a kind place. We'll be back."

"Today is our 8th day of our motorbike tour from Seattle to San Francisco. It was mainly cold outside with just some sunny periods. When we entered your resort the sun was shining not only on the sky but in our hearts. The cabin is lovely decorated and you were aware of what your guests needs are. Everything is there. Unfortunately we have to proceed - we would have enjoyed a second and third ay very much to relax."

"Thanks for all the special touches - we had a wonderful family reunion in this spectacular place."

"Awe - Serenity again! I've been everywhere, I've been nowhere...each time I stay here I feel I have truly arrived. Thank you for fulfilling your dream & sharing it with us - the world. See you next summer!. Peace,"

"What a wonderful place you have created here. I proposed to my now wife here when we were just looking around one day, and we were both very happy to spend our honeymoon here. We can't wait to come back and will absolutely encourage others to visit WildSpring. The extreme care and attention to detail you both have put into the place shows and makes it all that much more special. Thank you for a wonderful four nights. We'll be back!"

"We are on a 10-day tour of Oregon from Louisiana. This is a fabulous place. So well planned and thought out. The cabins & Guest Hall are marvelous, along with the hot tub. It is so peaceful and serene. wish we could visit her more often. We will definitely tell our friends to come. It is like heaven on earth."

"From the time I was a little girl I had dreamed of my wedding day. None of those dreams were as spectacular as the real thing. Aside from my husband, you guys really made my dream come to life. It was a fairytale wedding in a fairytale place! Thank you for helping create a memory we will never forget."

"Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful & tranquil property with us. This is the most relaxing place I have ever been. We are planning on coming back next summer for our honeymoon. If anyone is looking for a restaurant with a spectacular view & fabulous food, you need to go to Lord Bennett's in Bandon, Oregon. It was amazing."

"Thank you so much for being gracious hosts and sharing your property with us. You thought of absolutely everything. This was the best two nights I've had in years, it won't be easy to leave. I must concur with the 2 themes of your logbook: 1. The property is beautiful & serene. 2. We will be back for another visit. Again, thank you so much."

"What an amazing place, what a spectacular cabin (#3), what an inspiring experience! We both agree that everyone needs to take more time-outs! Time out from work, from electricity, from urban sprawl.....you get the idea! Thank you for sharing! thank you for allowing us the chance to feel like kids at camp again!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fireplace, the comfortable bed, the intimacy and privacy were perfect. Finding the drive on Elk River Road was a treat, too."

"What a wonderful retreat. The atmosphere here makes time stand still. A peace that is hard to find in this hurried world of ours. May you be blessed."

"Thank you for being wonderful hosts. The cabins and gardens are ideal for a respite from city life &you have thought of every detail to make it a dream vacation, and in our case, a cherished memory of our honeymoon. starting the day with your bountiful delicious homemade breakfast muffins and special of the day & ending the night with a hot soak among stars made us very relaxed and happy. We look forward to returning for a longer visit and will tell friends & family to check it out too."

"WildSpring, how do you do it? This beautiful, sacred space is perfection! Michelle and Dean have gotten everything right, and what's more, t hey are friendly, aware, lovely people. (A rarer combo than you might think). Waking up in the woods in this beautifully appointed cabin and walking meandering paths past exquisite sculptures on the way to a fabulous, lovingly prepared breakfast overlooking the ocean is a memory we will treasure. We can't wait to come back! Our only regret is not staying longer. thank you, thank you, thank you for living your dream and sharing it with others! We'll be back soon! Namaste"

"In the words of my mom, this place gets everything right. What a great place to bring my mom & dad on their 1st trip to the Pacific Northwest! From the delicious breakfasts overlooking the ocean to relaxing in hammocks to pedicures in the room, we have relaxed, recharged and reconnected in style (with God and each other). We can't wait to come back, but we leave happy and refreshed. Thank you!"

"This will be night 5 of 9 of our honeymoon down the coast back home to SF. A friend from PDX recommended this place & due to rain we decided to stay here instead of camping at Cape Blanco. So worth it! This place is so cozy & adorable. We each enjoyed a massage before popcorn and drinks on the way down to the beach. We can't wait for the hot tub & breakfast. Can we move in for good? ....... Lovely hospitality! Breakfast was wonderful & we loved the fish & chips and crab melt @ The Crazy Norwegians."

"A wonderful, peaceful and relaxing retreat. Thank you for sharing. PS. Breakfast was fab!!"

"Lush and relaxing. Thank you!"

"This was the best place we've stayed so far! We're on a 10-day vacation and we think this is the most interesting and relaxing. The breakfast was amazing! We all loved how unique this place was. we wish we could stay for longer. We will definitely try to come here again! Thank you for your hospitality."

"It is a amazing place to sleep and have a nice breakfast in. So wonderful! You are so kind and gentle that we have to come again. Thank you so very much. Love,"

"Thank you all for a lovely and relaxing holiday. My wife told me this would be a special place, and she was right. You're attention to detail, both in decor and service is remarkable. You have made this a beautiful and restful place. We will tell our friends."

"We had a wonderful experience on our first trip to southern Oregon for 5 days with you. Everything was calm, natural, and beautiful. The nature hike to Cape Blanco on my birthday followed by dinner at Alloro was a treasure we shall always remember, as well as other days horseback riding at Siskiyou West Ranch and on the beach at sunset. Thank you for the beautiful cabin, luscious & sustaining breakfasts, incredible gardens & restoring hot tub. On this our last day, we will walk the labyrinth & leave behind/let go of yet another burden & leave with the peace, just a little lighter for the rest of our journey. Thank you again for the many gifts. Warmly"

"Thank you for the wonderful stay. This was my first time here (my parent's second), but we all thoroughly enjoyed it. After three days here it's started to feel like home (crazy wind gusts and all)! We've made countless trips to and fro from the Guest Hall, sat in every sunny chair we could find, and spent evenings in the spa. We all hope to come back again next year. This is a beautiful and deeply magical place, and I feel very intune here. Peace, love and harmony,"

"Peace"

“Dean, Michelle (and the other two lovely ladies). Thank you. The rest, restoration, and healing from the last few days have soothed both of our souls. We wish we could fit the hot tub in the van, and Michelle to come live with us and make breakfast every morning. Your place is beautiful. Your spirits are delightful and we thank you for sharing it with us.” Gods Grace and Peace”

“So today is check-out, as I am writing this my “let’s get up and go” husband is still snoozing! The sleep we have gotten here is amazing. I still can’t believe that I got up with the alarm (9 a.m.!), and he’s still in bed! We cam here with no expectations and we are leaving here with smiles in our hearts. Although I am on a cane, I have made small efforts to check out all of the beauty of this property. What fun it is to see all of the buddhas and little things to remind me just to BE while walking around! We had an awesome guided meditation with Michelle and Dean, and even the other cabin couple joined in. My hubby did Tai Chi with Dean one morning and he came back to the cabin just smiling and ready to conquer the world…well, in a good way.:) ! I truly have enjoyed this, and I know that we will definitely be back as soon as we are able. The energy here has brought us such a sense of calm, and we are taking that home with us!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful & peaceful resort!! Thank you for all of the wonderful service!! Many blessings upon you both, as well as on this place & its guests.”

“Thank you for the beautiful night. Dinner at Paula’s and a cozy night here. A perfect Valentine get-a-way. Thank you.”

“Love. Faith. Understanding. Commitment. Enrich. Passion. Tears. Laughter. Forgiveness. Direction. Promise. Hope. Renew. Peace. Friendship. Acceptance. Emotions shared at WildSpring. Magic is created here. A sense of purpose & renewed love. This is our third visit & once again your beautiful haven gave us time to heal. We leave today hand in hand into our future & whatever it holds for us.”

“Thank you for sharing this amazing place! The perfect stop on our honeymoon from LA – Seattle. Looking forward to visiting again when we have more time to spend here!!!”

“We have has a fantastic weekend here with our dear friends, Tom and Teri Sue, who brought us here as our wedding gift. What a sweet spot. Beautifully furnished cabin, fantastic breakfasts, incredible weather (70 degrees in Nov!), and wonderful company. It doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you Michelle and Dean.”

“WildSpring is a wonderful, quiet respite from a world of turmoil. No politics, no stock market, no crazies. We appreciate the solitude, the setting, the beautiful and our wonderful cabin. A glorious way to spend our 10th Anniversary. Think you or what you have lovingly created.”

“Thank you for choosing to share this slice of paradise. Everyone who is lucky enough to enjoy time here, including us, takes all the positive energy that you and Nature have created and shares that with everyone they meet back at home. You’ve offered us an expanding gift – we will share it with equal generosity. We are so grateful to have spent our honeymoon here. What a magical place. All our best,”

“When reserving our room, we only hoped for the experience that you explained on your website. Well, our experience here has exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you for your thoughtful hospitality! PS If you’re looking for an amazing adventure...go down to the beach across the highway and climb up the seastack at sunset! It’s a little scary….but an amazing view!”

“This has been a wonderful ending to our 10 day vacation in Oregon and Northern California. The hot tub at night was great therapy. We had a great time together as a family. The memories we hade here are priceless. Sincerely.”

“Wow what a fantastic place this is! It’s so relaxing and all the statues and sculptures make it so unique! We are just passing through on our way down south, and want to take the suede duvet with us – it’s fabulous!! Thank you so much for all the great food and the Hot Fudge Sundae! We will be back! Thanks again,”

“This place is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for the night & all of the wonderful things that came with it. We would love to return here for our wedding! It is so beautiful. Thank you again.”

“The quiet beauty of WildSpring is simply stunning! We are very appreciative of the thought and talent that created such a wonderful retreat. We live in France and are touring Oregon before a family reunion in California… Would love to be able to return…”

“The first night of our honeymoon – an escape from the outside world – serene, sacred still – the perfect place to start the rest of our lives together! Thank you for the gracious gift of this lovely evening!”

“What a beautiful, peaceful place to celebrate our 25th anniversary – and to celebrate all God has given us. WildSpring is a very rare find – a treasure that will linger long in our memories. Thanks Dean & Michelle for creating this unique spot and sharing it with the rest of us.”

“What a blessing to find this tranquil refuge from the storms of everyday life. Our stay here will linger with us as we continue along our path. This place has a truly unique feeling – we’ve stayed in lots of beautiful places, and there is nowhere else quite like WildSpring. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.”

"We came here to relax and “refill our cups.” We have a beautiful 2-yr-old daughter that stayed with her grandparents while we were here. Mission accomplished, we feel great, well rested! Thanks, we will be back!”

“Dear WildSpring! We loved our stay! Just wish we did not have to run off so quickly. Every time you turn round there is another detail waiting for you The moment we saw the spa and lookout last night, we lost our breath. I felt like a little kid at summer camp, so excited to see everything. As we were soaking our tired bodies, we saw a shooting star! How special! I’ve only seen 2 other shooting tars in my 30 years of life! Now your lovely home has been the 3rd. Hope to visit again! Truly.”

“Once more WildSpring has provided a nocturnal resting place, traveling, arrived after dark and soon to depart on this misty morn. Yet this time is different. I wisely chose to be encouraged by Dean, despite my late arrival, and immersed myself in your warm, protected waters It is an experience I will not fail to enjoy on each subsequent visit! This morning was different, too. I awoke just before first light, sleepy yet mindful of my once-again and soon-to-be delight in watching the atmosphere whiten around the(can’t read). Content to lie in bed, propped now by the pillow, I had a great idea. Why not light the candles and start the fire? That wood-burning fireplace is exactly what drew me to this cabin nearly 3 years ago. And here I was on y third stay without ever having opened the elegant little doors with their (can’ read) glass. Truth be told, I had always assumed there was not enough time to build a proper fire and deal with it before I could sit back and bask in its smoky-smelling warmth. How pleased was I to open the doors finding that proper fire built and waiting for my simple match! Again, I promise myself and al this is wise, good; cozy to light this fire on each and every night and/or morning that I am fortunate enough to find myself in this resting place. With gratitude & appreciation.”

“As the world should be! Thank you.”

“It is very easy to settle into the quiet of this place. We would love to come back when the outside demands are not so rushed!”

“We have has a very restful, peaceful time in this space. Your attention to detail with aesthetics is very healing & thoughtful. Foncy is a great massage therapist – she intuitively knew what we needed… We are happy we chose your place to celebrate and go on a long overdue honeymoon! 2 little ones @ home & one on the way – we really needed this retreat! We’ll be back.”

“Michelle and Dean have the formula for the soul and the spirit down perfect. My late husband would have loved experiencing this lifestyle. He was with me in spirit.”

“The perfect end to our honeymoon & beginning of our new life together. Thank you for creating this unique & magical space. Well be back.”

“What a great place! Everything was perfect. As two cooks and foodies, we loved the full kitchen (and great view). Job well done.”

“What an amazing gift – to be able to enjoy this special place – thanks for everything. We will remember this for years.”

“WildSpring Guest Habitat – contents and organic - is the autobiography of Dean and Michelle Duarte.”

“Thank you for bending the rules and allowing us to bring Kaia here. We really enjoyed our short stay with you and all of the enlightening conversation this morning. I knew we needed to be on this road trip intuitively. We hope to return and stay a bit longer. Lots of love!! PS. The labyrinth was just what we needed to start our road trip off this morning.”

“Yey! We’re engaged! Everything was perfect – thank you for creating this wonderful oasis. We won’t forget our time here and we look forward to coming back. Best”

“I felt so grateful to be here. The quiet was so needed in our hectic world. We enjoyed our 20 year anniversary & will always remember the peace we felt here. Definitely we will return. Thank you for making our stay perfect!”

“Thanks so much for the beautiful memory.”

“In a world of chaos and noise, a place of order and peace.”

“I love WildSpring. I’ll be back, Michelle & Dean. Love,”

“We had a wonderful tie and soaked in everything there was to offer. We definitely hope to come back again some day To others that are staying, try the blueberry muffins. We love the crispy tops ? And don’t forget to watch the sunset at Paradise Point.”

“Well... So exquisite, so thoughtfully presented in every way. Thank you for this grand opening. The breeze today is magical. The sky is cloudless. Namaste.

“A well needed break & a wonderful place to take it. Thanks for creating this for others! Cheers”

“What a wonderful place you have here. I will always remember my stay always & pray for a return trip! As I go down the coast to san Diego, I can only hope our future lodging can come close to this remarkable place. Thanks so much for the memories."

“Thanks for making the last two days so memorable. Your ‘quiet’ but spectacular hospitality is unequalled to anything we’ve experienced & the only disappointment is that it’s time to leave… Kudo’s to you Michelle for the fabulous cobbler & Dean…thanks for going “over the top” with the TV/etc. Can’t wait to return.”

“We slept so peacefully – up early and on the road. Thank you Michelle and Dean for your spiritual creation here. Peace & blessing!”

““A quick note since we must dash, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We roughed it for 2 weeks in Oregon backwoods, so this cabin stay was a nice ending. Thank you for your lovely hospitality.”
