North Oregon Coast: For special occasions, it’s hard to beat the experience at Cannon Beach’s Stephanie Inn. This is more of a country inn, not a traditional bed & breakfast home, but it is an exceptional splurge with a great restaurant and fine wines too. You’ll find the best wine list in town at the Wayfarer Restaurant. Another unique experience nearby is Arch Cape Inn & Retreat, a B&B that resembles a French Chateau. You might also consider The Awtrey House in Nehalem, a more traditional B&B home operated by a former professional basketball player who put a lot of attention to detail in this home. Astoria also has a large number of B&Bs, many in Victorian Homes. Rose River House is one of the most popular ones. You’ll find a nice wine list at Bridgewater Bistro on Astoria’s riverfront.

Central Oregon Coast: The Lightkeeper’s Inn Bed & Breakfast in Newport consistently ranks high with visitors, offering bay and bridge views. A few minutes to the north in Otter Rock is the coast’s only traditional working winery, Flying Dutchman Winery, offering tasting daily. There are several highly rated B&Bs in Depoe Bay, including Pana Sea Ah and An Ocean Paradise Whales Rendezvous. Whale Cove Inn is more of a boutique hotel, but offers amazing views and an acclaimed restaurant. It would also be worth the trip to plan a dinner at The Bay House in the south end of Lincoln City where you will find the coast’s largest wine list, literally a bound book.

South Oregon Coast: Tu Tu Tun Lodge up the Rogue River from Gold Beach is more of a country inn, but is highly rated and has an outstanding restaurant on the property. For more traditional B&B homes, consider The Compass Rose Bed and Breakfast in Port Orford. You’ll find the best wine list at Redfish restaurant. Also not a traditional B&B, but worth consider for its uniqueness is WildSpring Guest Habitat in Port Orford.
