If you have ever visited Cannon Beach you know how packed with tourists it gets. That's why we love staying here at the Inn at Arch Cape. It's close enough to eat in Cannon Beach and far enough away that you feel like you are getting away from a city. The rooms are lovely, and a wood burning fireplace is the best! We stayed in room 3 which was a wonderful set up. We played scrabble and drank wine in front of the fireplace. Then too walks on the beach each morning. The beach was all ours too. Not a person in sight. We have stayed in multiple rooms here and have yet to be disappointed. The lovely garden in front blocks the traffic just fine.

We stayed in unit #1, a very nice cottage. The cottage is very nicely designed...rustic, good quality. Cedar paneling, slate shower stall and floor, fireplace. Such a comfortable place. It also is a good location near two beautiful places: Oswald State Park and the Ecola State Park near Cannon Beach. We really enjoyed the place. But, the services leave a little to be desired. We were there 3 nights, but didn't get laundry and housecleaning. Maybe just an oversight, but annoying. Also, I think the price is a bit high for when we were there (Oct.9-12).

My husband and I recently returned from a road trip in Oregon that involved a variety of overnight accommodations. We could not have been more pleased with our beach stay at The Inn at Arch Cape. Admittedly, we were not pleased with the room that we originally booked. It was fairly small and there was a lot of traffic noise, and the room would not have been comfortable for us over a three-day period. However, I called Patty, the property manager, and she immediately offered us another room (#5), which did not face the road and was much larger (separate bedroom and living area with fireplace). The rate was higher than we had originally anticipated, but again, Patty was extremely accommodating and offered us a reduced rate that was more than acceptable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very quaint inn, in our very clean, comfortably furnished and cozy cottage suite, just a very short walk to the beach. It was a perfect way to end our vacation. We hope to visit Oregon again and would definitely plan another visit at The Inn at Arch Cape. P.S. We understand that the owners are aware of the traffic noise and plan to install storm windows soon to resolve the problem.

My mom was visiting us in Portland, and we made a last minute decision to spend a night at the coast. Turns out that with two yellow labs, three adults and 26 hours advance notice, this isn't the easiest thing to book on a busy weekend. In fact, most hotels along Cannon Beach were either completely full, wasn't pet friendly, couldn't accommodate three adults in one room/suite, or would not take a single night booking. About 40 calls later, we were ready to give up.

The Inn At Arch Cape doesn't traditionally take single night bookings, but as they fit all our other criteria, they asked us to call back the day before and said they would sell us the room for a single Saturday night if it hadn't booked by then. Sure enough, they lived up to their word, and off we went. This is a self-check-in property (you call the desk, they give you the key code) but when we arrived, a staffer was actually on hand and showed us into and around our huge suite. It was three times the size we had hoped, with a wood burning fireplace, cozy couches, a full kitchenette, and very thoughtful/helpful dog baskets prepared for the labs. We stayed in room 3, which has one large full bedroom and a separate alcove off the living room with bunk beds, which was perfect for our needs. Everyone got to have their privacy, without paying for two rooms.

Everything was very, very clean (especially considering it was a pet friendly property) and charming. A lot of small touches made it really nice, like little pieces of saltwater taffy on the table, library of books and board games in the living room, firewood at the ready, and all the kitchen amenities. I think it would be even better in the summer when we could have used the back garden, front outdoor deck/grill, and fire pit, but it rained pretty hard all weekend, so we built a fire. It was close to the beach and we had the beach to ourselves when we were brave enough to try it in the rain.

Staff could not have been friendlier, more professional or accommodating. We asked for early check in, late check out and neither were a problem.

The only negatives: From our bedroom, we could hear the people in the other rooms to the point where we could hear their entire conversations (at 5:45am on a Sunday) and it made it difficult to impossible to sleep in. I would think some additional insulation would solve that problem. Also, the bedroom door doesn't latch, there's no way to keep it fully shut.

There is a note by the fireplace that says to only use two logs in the fire to avoid smoking up the room, and we followed that advice, but the rooms still smoked up and set off the alarm several times. We had to keep all the windows open-not a problem in nice weather to do so, but it was cold, windy and pouring. So firestarters beware. Again, in nicer weather might just be better to use fire pit and outdoor grill, both of which looked lovely. Also, the brochures and parking spaces (love the dedicated parking spaces for each room) are easy to read and branded super cute, but the sign out front by Hwy 101 is small/old and it makes it easy to sail right by. But all in all, these problems were tiny and solvable (except for the noise) and our clean, charming and friendly stay was so memorable. We will be back and will stay longer next time. I won't stay on the busy strip in Cannon Beach anymore knowing I can have this peaceful retreat for the same price just a few miles down 101.
