Stephanie Inn

1.02
2740 South Pacific, Cannon Beach, OR, 97110 United States

Overview

From Andrew Harper

View Map

Hospitable New England-style inn set along the Pacific shoreline in a quiet Cannon Beach neighborhood, two hours northwest of Portland. Low tides reveal a nine-mile walking beach stretching past monolithic Haystack Rock, with its summer nesting colonies of seabirds. A rambling, three-story stone-and-timber structure contains 41 guest lodgings on three floors; most rooms have gas fireplaces, whirlpool tubs and scenic decks. Request one of the upper-floor Oceanfront Dormer Suites or Oceanfront Corner Suites with separate living/dining areas and balconies providing sweeping sea views. Public areas include a lobby lounge with fireplace, two spa treatment rooms, a library/chart room and a country-casual restaurant offering seasonal Northwest fare. No children under age 12.

From the Hideaway Report

 

July 2011 Hideaway Report

Stephanie Inn, a longtime Harper favorite 25 miles south on Highway 101 at Cannon Beach, is as different from the Cannery Pier Hotel as trendy Cannon Beach is different from Astoria, and many may find the inn’s casually elegant lodgings and gracious service a better fit. Here, you can enjoy spectacular Pacific beach views from your oceanfront room, and in an afternoon, drive 35-40 minutes up the coast to sample Astoria’s attractions as well.

On our recent incognito visit, we booked the spacious Oceanfront “Janice Kay” Room on the second floor, overlooking nearly nine miles of broad, sandy beach and the looming shape of Haystack Rock, a quarter-mile offshore. The suite was large enough not to be overwhelmed by a mammoth four-poster bed, an armoire that swallowed up our luggage, a writing desk and chair, two period-style upholstered chairs and a round, glass-topped table. The tiled bath held a two-person Jacuzzi, a separate shower and a single vanity.

Shortly after we’d checked in, a spring squall swept inland from the Pacific. Rain beat against the windows, and the wind rattled two wicker chairs on our small private balcony, where a gull huddled on the railing. As twilight fell, we lowered the lights, turned on the gas fireplace and watched the storm pass.

We had dinner reservations for 6 p.m., but we’d eaten a late lunch at the delightful Bridgewater Bistro in Astoria. When we asked at check-in for a later table, we were offered a candlelight dinner in our room — a happy option, since the dining room does not have an ocean view, while our room offered the grand view, privacy and the fireplace.

Shops and galleries line the main street of Cannon Beach. But the not-to-be-missed attraction, besides the wonderful beach itself, is Ecola State Park, a short drive that winds north of town through Sitka spruce and tops out on Tillamook Head with ocean views that Captain Clark called “the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed.”

I have stayed at the Stephanie Inn many times but my recent May 2012 trip was the first time I'd traveled there alone. The staff, particularly the dining room dinner servers, were so welcoming and so warm that I never felt alone or awkward. The Stephanie Inn goes the extra mile with every encounter and takes joy in delighting the customer. My mini King oceanfront room on the second floor was exactly as shown in the web site photos. It offers striking views and every comfort including an occasional curious gull who might perch on the balcony to say hello. The breakfast and dinner menus are fabulous and offer options that everyone will love. Breakfast is a casual buffet arrangement with many delicious choices. The dinner is now by reservation and is surely the best food in Cannon Beach. There are lots of other nice touches such as an always full cookie jar at the front desk, hot beverages and snacks in the front lobby, wine and cheese in late afternoon, and even a complimentary bottle of water and wrapped chocolate for each guest to enjoy on their drive home. The Stephanie Inn thinks of everything and I will return again and again.

"The Stephanie Inn was fantastic from soup to nuts—staff, food, location. Dinner at the Inn was wonderful both nights. One member of our party was on a restricted diet, and the chef was able to craft gourmet dishes that met his needs at breakfast and dinner. For lunch both days we visited a delicious hole in the wall in Cannon Beach: Ecola serves all sorts of locally caught fresh seafood (fish, clams, crab, oysters etc.) and was SRO so be prepared to wait in line. Great food, but very casual. " August 2011

This was a really enjoyable trip for us. Our stay at Stephanie Inn was a highlight and set the tone for our entire trip. We wish Harper knew of properties in Washington near the coast.
