Driving up, this property feels like a dream. The windy, moss covered drive with towering pines and ferns is simply magical. The property itself is like a lush rainforest, the footpaths creeping through the silence. The beach and tide pools were absolutely wonderful and we had so much fun finding all sorts of marine life.
However, most of my positive experiences are focused on the scenery and the natural beauty of the Oregon Coast.
We stayed in a two queen bed room with a forest view. The view was spectacular, part forest and part beach with a lovely nightly soundtrack of waves. The room itself was fine, a cute, if slightly dated room. The water pressure was great and the hot water did not get cold. The beds however… truly the worst bed and pillows I have ever slept on in my life. I felt as though I was sleeping on a box spring and not a mattress at all. The pillows were so flat, and there were no extra blankets in the room. Throughout our six night stay, there was no housekeeping provided at all. By the end of the week, our room smelled like dirty socks.
The restaurant is only open Thursday- Sunday and only in the afternoon. There is no breakfast available at the hotel, and only one place in town to grab something quickly. Otherwise, Newport and Depoe Bay are the only options. This was misrepresented upon booking. I honestly wouldn’t have stayed here if I had known.
A lot of the property is timeshare property so it is a gamble what the room will look like.
