I just love how quiet and cozy this place at your heart in general is. It's easy to drive to Astoria to go shopping. Go out for a meal. Come back for a nap and less than 20 minutes. Also be in downtown Cannon Beach. You walk a couple of blocks and there's access to a much quieter beach than in Cannon Beach or Long Beach. And as a McMenamin fan, the fact that it's close to the McMenamins restaurant.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I am lucky to do a solo "mom/artist retreat" each year. The space offered a well stocked kitchen for cold foods and separate areas for the activities I wanted to do. You walk in to a gas burning stove (that IS the heat source and attached to thermostat), music and mood lighting. Great welcome! I can see why for some people it would not be ideal with steps, lower bed, smaller kitchen table. But for me it was perfect. Plus I loved the aesthetic. Wish there a very brief PRINTED overview of rules/expectations. I.E. How to turn down heat, when breakfast comes, how to request items, etc. The one big thing I really missed was a bath tub or soaking tub. That would have made the trip complete.

When we checked in our bed was soaked so they did move our room and upgrade us which was nice. We did not receive a complimentary welcome drink though. The morning pastries were too stale to eat, the couch was uncomfortable and the bed was too hard for me. It also would have been nice if staff brought fresh towels to the room daily but otherwise it’s a cute property.

Would’ve Been a Great Stay… Until the Injury

Drifthaven is undeniably charming: beautifully designed, cozy, and nestled in a peaceful part of Gearhart. I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, my stay ended with a serious injury due to a safety issue in the room that I feel compelled to share. On the last morning of my stay, around 4am, I went downstairs to use the restroom. The stairs inside the room are not lit, and the banister ends on the second-to-last step, which makes it deceptive to navigate in low light. Because of the banister situation, I missed the final step, tripped, and fell hard, so badly that I could barely walk and had to go to Urgent Care that morning. My spouse had to drive out from Portland and pick me up, and I had to cut my trip short and cancel a work conference commitment due to the injury. I informed staff immediately, and they said they’d notify the manager and follow up. I never heard back. I also submitted feedback via email the day after I left, still nothing. Between the medical bills, the disruption to my work, and the lack of response, I’m really disappointed. I’m sharing this in hopes that management will take this seriously. Installing small lights along the stairs would be a simple fix that could prevent future accidents. I expected more attentiveness from a place that clearly puts so much care into its aesthetic and I am disappointed. I would love to stay here again, but would like the safety lights installed and for the customer service to improve first.

Extremely overpriced!

Extremely tiny room with micro furniture. Recently remodeled. Bed was very low and extremely soft. The pilot on the gas stove in the room wouldn’t turn off and the interior temp was 79 degrees with all of the windows open. Extremely overpriced at more than $2/sqrt ft per night. Worst value ever!
