Channel House Inn - Travel Oregon

Nestled in the Oregon Coast’s magnificent scenery, Channel House combines the comforts of a first-class hotel with the congeniality of a small country Inn. Imagine fresh ocean breezes, sweeping panoramic views, powerful surf, truly unbelievable sunsets and whales within a stone’s throw. Perched on an oceanfront bluff, guestrooms have an understated natural elegance and contemporary decor, including whirlpools on oceanfront decks and gas fireplaces.

Gorgeous view, but 1992 called…

Stay here and pay the premium for the spectacular view, not the room. The bed was very comfortable, but unfortunately the rest of the property is a bit rough around the edges, and in many ways that are easily fixable: ratty worn out welcome mat, worn out all weather turf on exterior stairs, rust stain dripping down the porch railing post, sagging cables between the posts…these could all be fixed quickly and cheaply. More importantly, the interior design (and especially the bathroom) is badly in need of an update. The bathroom was probably fancy during the Clinton administration, but in 2023 it’s generous to call it nostalgia.

Our new favorite!

Came here for our 25th anniversary and it did not disappoint. We stayed on top floor Cuckoo's nest suite. It was everything we could have asked for. From the moment you step in you know you are going to not regret your decision to stay for a moment. Close to all the best restaurants and shopping! The windows are literally on 3 sides of your suite and the views are next to none. So many whales can be seen literally ALL the time, even from the bed they are visible. The deck is very large and makes the view even better, we didn't use the jacuzzi tub but it would be lovely. Furnishings were modern and looked new, bed was temperpedic and firm but not too firm, slept great! The photos don't do this justice at all and it's much larger than we expected! They thought of everything you might need. We knew ahead of time they have no microwaves and it would have been nice to have it. Also the cleaning/air refresh chemical smell was way too strong and would have been a issue if we couldn't have aired the place out ALLOT. But those are the only things worth mentioning and they wouldn't deter us from coming back whenever we possibly can! We love the intimacy of the bed and breakfast feel without the intrusiveness. Couldn't be happier with our stay, thank you enough for helping us celebrate our special day!

Gorgeous view, exceptional service, lovely suites

Channel House is a lovely small hotel. Our suite looked out over the ocean on two sides and included a balcony with 2 chairs and a small table as well as a hot tub. We didn't use the hot tub but enjoyed a glass of wine on the balcony. The suite is heated by a gas fireplace that is open to both the bedroom and living room. We didn't need it but it adds even more ambiance. This is a roomy suite, comfortably furnished with a nice kitchenette. A choice of 3 wines (2 local, one French sparkling) are available in the room. $30 per bottle will be added to your bill if you choose one. Comfortable beds and heavenly smelling soap and shampoo. It is so easy to sleep well when you can hear the waves crashing outside your room. When we made our reservation weeks ahead, we had requested a specific suite. Closer to our arrival date, we were informed the exterior of the property was being painted the week we were to stay there, and there was a distinct possibility the suite we reserved wouldn't be available. Dan, the manager, worked very hard to ensure we would have the desired suite without drop cloths and plastic sheets covering the balcony. Dan went above and beyond to provide exceptional service.

5 Stars for Nature, 2.5 for Accomodations

We just got home from our stay at Channel House and had a really nice weekend there. But let's be honest...the views made the vacation memorable. The room itself is what you'd be perfectly fine staying in along a highway in anytown, USA. It was pretty clean for an ocean-facing room. The bed was crazy hard, the bed frame made a bunch of noise every time you rolled over, the sound of the people upstairs walking around at 1am and then getting in their jacuzzi tub was loud, the sound of their jacuzzi tub draining outside our room for 15 minutes at 2am was loud, the furniture is outdated, hard and very used. We also had a shower leak from the upstairs neighbor that would rain down in front of the front door if someone took a shower. We notified staff of this and it was a known problem. Just haven't had time to fix it. The room is not worth $400 a night. But the view might be? There aren't many places where you can lay in bed and watch whales outside. So that was the memorable part. Next time we will try a different hotel.

Second Time’s Just as Charming

I stayed here back in the late 90s and enjoyed it immensely and we returned in June this year and it was just as pleasurable, even though there was some maintenance work going on during the day. The jacuzzi on the balcony is lovely. Sitting and watching the whales out in the bay is so serene and the fireplace in the room makes the whole experience very romantic. I totally recommend staying here.
