Wonderful stay in Gearhart
Pros:

Location is excellent, very quiet and short proximity to the beach. The room and decor is lovely, super comfortable too. Staff are also very helpful, they had the option for a romance package which was a great surprise for my partner.

Cons:

The breakfast could have had more variety, it was just muffins and juice, although there is a nice coffee shop and bakery nearby.

Cute place. Needs a better management.
Pros:

I like the set up.

Cons:

One of the smoke detectors needed batteries and the staff didn’t replaced it while we were there. While riding the bicycles provided by the hotel, one of the pedals fell off in the middle of our ride. The hotel was 40 minutes walking. We called the hotel for help. But they said they couldn’t help us. We had to stop by a bike shop to repair the pedal. I’m still waiting for my booking charge to be refunded since they charged me through booking and through the hotel website.

8-10 would definitely come again
Pros:

It was super cute kinda hidden away for all the noise. We didn’t get to use the bikes or anything in the back patio area due to constant rain but we loved it

Cons:

Never once got house keeping so we never came back to anything cleaned or changed, we had to leave a DG bag full of trash due to no one coming

The Coziest Stay!
Pros:

The cutest place I’ve ever stayed! My partner and I stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. The rooms themselves are so cozy and inviting and the property is gorgeous. We enjoyed the amenities like bikes to take on the beach and blankets, as well as the wonderful breakfast every morning. The staff is amazing and so kind. It was my birthday and they went out of their way to get me a little extra something on my day. We will 100% be coming back.

Charming, Cute and Quiet
Pros:

Our stay at Drifthaven was perfect. The room was clean, thoughtfully decorated and arranged and quiet. Abbey was helpful and attentive! She brought us a welcome beverage and upon learning we do not drink alcohol returned within minutes with a great mocktail. Having a French press and kettle in the room was a treat. It was pouring rain and so we didn’t get to use the amenities in the “garage” but we will surely be back and look forward to taking the bikes for a spin.

Incredible dog-friendly stay
Pros:

We absolutely loved it! My husband and I took our 2 giant pups for a one-night stay. The whole stay was extremely dog-friendly, the room was spacious and adorably decorated, and the outdoor area was unmatched. It’s the perfect retreat in a sleepy town and we will definitely be returning for a longer stay!

We were very delighted to have this well kept, clean, unique place to stay!
Pros:

Location was exactly where I wanted to be: quiet street, near shops and the beach at Gearhart. The cottage was so tastefully decorated and furnished!

Cons:

The breakfast. No protein item. (i.e. boiled eggs?) Bakery was not fresh.
The small refrigerator was stuffed with drinks for us to buy. Not much room for things we brought for ourselves.

Pros:

The location was great

Cons:

The breakfast didn’t seem fresh or worth bothering with it. The gluten free wrapped bar is not breakfast.
