October 1, 2025Homelessx2Simply perfect, again!
Same apartment as in many years past-#12. A beautiful vase of fresh flowers was on a table. Hand crafted stone gas fireplace still there and still worked. Wood paneling, put in board by board years ago, still gleamed warmly. A step back in time to when craftsmanship was the norm. Still fiercely maintained and still so beautiful. Comfy couch and upholstered chairs, area rugs so watching TV and reading was so enjoyable. All was in a warm, slow down and relax way. Great frig, stove and oven, microwave and coffee perk machine. Great shower, too. Walked to our chosen restaurants every evening. Crazy wind, but we were snug in our queen bed that was firm enough but not too hard. Had forgotten how special this beautiful inn is. “She Who Rules”, the manager, keeps everything clean and tidy and runs a tight ship. So kind, but you relax, knowing she is always vigilant. And, for us, the best: no pets. I could breathe. And, the precious wood floors, the rugs, the furniture remain a gentle, glowing reminder that beauty still exists. Thank you, Whistling Wind. You rejuvenated us!

Wonderful experience
Fantastic stay!!! This place is an absolute gem. The cabin was cute, clean and had everything we needed. Very short walk to the beach.

Whistling Winds Motel, A Hidden Gem in Lincoln City, OR
The Whistling Winds motel is a hidden gem in Lincoln City. First of all, Kathy, the manager, was very welcoming and helpful. She is a sweet and thoughtful person. There is parking right outside each room. The motel is a few steps from the beach. You can hear the waves from the patio. It is within a mile to Safeway, and my personal favorite, the brand new First Choice Market (you can get delicious ready to eat pizza, fried chicken and sushi or several prepared deli selections , as well as wonderful bakery items, there). Apparently all the rooms are unique at the motel so I can only attest to room 11 where we stayed. We stayed there 5 days and found it comfy and clean. It reminds me of the interior of a cabin in the woods, filled with country furnishings. There's a gas fireplace in the living room (which was nice and cozy to sit by in the morning when it was cool in the room) and a sofa bed. There's a fully stocked kitchen with a full size fridge, a range with an oven and cooktop, a coffee maker, toaster and microwave. This made it convenient to prepare our meals, instead of eating out every day. There's a separate bedroom with a queen size bed which was very comfy and quiet. The bathroom was a stand up stall shower, kind of hard to navigate in, but did its job. The motel doesn't provide daily housekeeping, if that is important to you it is something to consider. But all we needed to do was ask Kathy and she provided fresh towels or anything else we required. Overall, I highly recommend this motel, particularly room 11 and look forward to our return.

Cozy and clean!
We love staying at Whistling Winds! It is a short distance from the beach and the rooms are always clean and cozy. It feels like a cabin with the wood walls and stained glass windows. We always get a warm welcome when we arrive and the innkeeper is very responsive to any requests or needs. There is an outdoor fire pit enclosed by glass walls and it’s nice to relax there after a day exploring Lincoln City.

Cozy room, great location !
We had a wonderful time using Whistling Winds as our home base. It is close to the beach and to all the other amenities of town, the grocery store, and the ice cream shops, and. restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed with tools and dishes. It was a quiet location and we slept well !.
