Stephanie Inn

Towards the end of our vacation portion of the wifey's work trip, with me as the plus one, she chose the Stephanie Inn on Cannon Beach. We had visited Cannon Beach a couple of years ago during a similar trip but had not the pleasure of staying there. For us it was a full-on geek-out moment as Goonies is one of our classic favorites, and the view from our room included the classic silhouette from that movie! As it was approaching yours truly's birthday The wifey felt that she would take it off the deep end and booked us at one of the highest rated hotels, apparently in the entire world! It is truly an elegant inn but not over the top. The service is what would be expected in any luxury resort venue. The community area/library was exceptionally relaxing with wide open ocean views. There were games and puzzles and books for anyone and everyone to enjoy. The check-in process was seamless. They are pretty strict about the 4:00 p.m. check-in however. They have a 4:00 wine and hors d'oeuvre service in the library. They have a 9:00 after dinner aperitif service in the library. They have an amazing restaurant, see my separate review, on the second floor and we're walking distance from our lavishly appointed room. In that restaurant they offer an included breakfast that was delicious! Our room was exceptional in cleanliness and decor. The view from the balcony of the crashing ocean down below and the frolicking, local bunny rabbits, you'll have to see it to believe it, rounded out an amazing experience. The bed was exactly comfortable, and the bathroom was lavish with a soaking tub for two! We even enjoyed their spa which is on par with any we've ever experienced. Although it is apparently now very difficult, if we ever had the chance to get another reservation there, we would be more than pleased, as you should be!

Excellent facility - Great staff! Very comfortable room - Spa was just right. Breakfast was yummy - thank you!!

This was the most amazing stay we have ever experienced. The staff was always present to assist us with our every need. They don't simply hand you a key and send you on your way. A staff member shows you around the Inn, showing you all the Inn's amenities before walking you to your room where they go over all your in-room amenities. This is truly 5-star, full service hospitality. We'll be back again and again.

Get stay, wonderful service. Food and wine were great. Even though it rained most of the time we relaxed in the library with a glass of wine and caught up on reading or watched the waves come in.

The Stephanie Inn is pricy, but you get excellent views of the beach, sunset, and Haystack Rock. We were greeted with blueberry juice mixed with sparkling wine as a welcome drink. The inclusions are outstanding, like transport to the town center and back. An exceptionally good breakfast is part of the rate, as is the minibar's first fill (a couple of beers, soft drinks, and nibbles). We especially loved the concept of "daily gatherings": a late afternoon aperitivo-style tasting of wines and beers, followed by an evening nightcap service featuring liquors, including some house-made options. Our annex building room had a nice sitting area, but plates, silverware, extra glasses, coffee maker, and water kettle are available only upon request. It would have been more convenient to have these already in the room, or to be asked in advance if we'd like them, since requesting items during the stay always creates some hassle. We would have also appreciated slightly more extensive toiletries (mouthwash, for example) or daily replenishment of bath salts. Bottom line: If you're looking for a tranquil, upscale retreat at Cannon Beach, this is your place. We booked two nights and regretted not having time for a third. A charming bonus: wild bunnies hopping around the property!
