A great place for a retreat.
This quiet and cozy hotel was wonderful. The room was clean and had its's own deck with a view. We had 4 couples all staying at the Lodge and the owners were very friendly and helpful with our needs. Seeing the sea lions swim up the river from our deck was a real plus.

Quiet, cozy perfect place on the bay.
Amazing place to stay. Beautiful bay view. Comfy beds, peaceful, and quiet. You can see how much pride in ownership Martha and Gordon have with all the little touches that you won’t find in a corporate owned business. And Peet’s in the room for my morning cup-a-joe was an added surprise. This was a return stay and we were just as happy as the first time we were there.

Wonderful small hotel in peaceful picturesque setting
We stayed at this gem for just one night and went crabbing at a nearby business. We stayed in room 11 with 2 small bedrooms one bath and a living room area. Motel style room very clean and well appointed with cool artwork. Room was a bit small but had everything we needed. Owners were friendly and kind. They have a Large dvd collection. Free breakfast was a pack lunch that we could bring with us crabbing or fishing the next day. Some rooms had a balcony facing the river and mountains. So much wildlife (elk, seals, fish, birds, dungenous crab) and a nice sitting area near the dock on the Nehalem River. There were kayaks to use (we didn’t have time) but were told to beware of the tides changing or it could be a lot of paddling against current. Just 5-10 minutes from beaches on the Oregon coast. We even left something in the room and the owners called us right away and we were able to retrieve everything.

Enjoyed our visit
Excellent location. Don’t know if we were just lucky, but it was a very quiet place to stay. Our room had a large deck overlooking the bay. The Salmonberry restaurant within walking distance was a bonus for this location. The owners were very nice and accommodating. Excellent place to stay between Cannon Beach and Tillamook. Jet tub in the room was an added bonus!
