The Oregon coastline is a mixture of rugged cliffs, wave-ravaged offshore islets and pocket beaches that seem to magically appear around the next bend. Hotel and cabin owners have taken advantage of this natural beauty. Stay in a luxuriously romantic hotel in historic Lincoln City within steps of the ocean. For a more rustic experience, spend a night or two in a rural, eco-friendly cabin, offering stunning views from its lofty perch above the deep blue sea.
Sharing the beach with the neighboring Gold Beach Inn, Ireland's Rustic Lodges offers individual private cabins and guestrooms in both the Laguna Beach House and the Cape Cod Beach House. Many of the rooms and cabins have their own fireplaces and balconies or decks with views of the ocean. Trails lead through open grassy areas and landscaped grounds to the adjacent sandy beach. Two hot tubs sit on a deck facing the ocean. Sit in a relaxing jetted tub and do some whale watching at the same time. Gold Beach is 34 miles north of the California border.
