Solitude Escapes in the Pacific Northwest

Emerald Valley Inn

Port Angeles, WA

Individually decorated cottage-style rooms, no televisions, and a working farmyard of goats, chickens, emus, and one orange polydactyl cat. The cat is why half the guests come back.

Agate Beach Motel

Newport, OR

A cliffside perch where every room has a private ocean-view deck and a full kitchen or kitchenette. A private stairway leads down to the beach.

Looking Glass Inn

Lincoln City, OR

Family-owned since 1976, with most rooms featuring a whirlpool tub, gas fireplace, and private deck with bay or ocean views. A format that gets more right than it misses.

Moolack Shores Inn

Newport, OR

Perched on a bluff above Moolack Beach north of Newport, this cliffside retreat has its own private staircase down to a stretch of sand most people never find. Individually themed rooms, many with fireplaces and ocean-view decks, and a firepit above the beach make it a quiet, romantic escape from the busier coast.

Moonstone Beach Motel

Moclips, WA

A perch above a coastal beach where every room has an unobstructed ocean view and a private deck. The hospitality here is personal enough that guests come back for both.

Mt. Gardner Inn

Winthrop, WA

A family-owned property half a mile from Winthrop's downtown, at the doorstep of the Methow Valley trail network, with clean rooms and fair rates that make multi-day stays in Washington's best cross-country ski destination genuinely practical. Owner-operators with more than a decade of top TripAdvisor rankings in Winthrop keep the standards honest.
