Anchor Inn Resort

I was a little iffy when booking this place, but it was more-or-less as it appears. A funky old-fashioned "resort" with a retro, but really more eclectic vibe. Rooms was kind of retrofitted to be modern enough, and were comfortable and clean. But any lack of modernity was more than made up for by amenities. As mentioned in other reviews, it is not right on the beach. It is a few blocks walk to the beach including a hefty set of stairs to the beach itself. No matter. I found the staff helpful and friendly. The s'mores, croquet golf and especially the gas fire pits were quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, the kitchen was closed on the days I was there, so was not able to sample. The three-bed (including sleeper sofa) family suite was great for 3 adult siblings travelling together.

This place is amazing. Much more of a homely feel opposed to a commercial hotel and the perfect place to stay with your kiddos. Great amenities including a great little bar, fire pits, game room, and sand play area. Best of all, just a few minutes walk to the beach as well as the best glass shops around. The rooms could use a little update, but even without it, the vibe is amazing. I would absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic, rustic, eclectic, clean, fun. Parking great, little dog park, beach close by, loved the bed and shower and furniture, wood paneling. Fun gift includes fixins for s'mores, fire pit. So different from the stale hotels of today. Great service. Only downside was people upstairs moving furniture at 10p.

Things are extremely well used. The whole place needs a facelift. Extremely poor lighting in the rooms. Shower was so small. My husband could barely fit into it. Beds were comfy. People were nice, and the pizza was good. I don’t think we would stay there again. Just seemed very old and in need of attention.

I will first start by saying this is an older hotel and some areas show it. But it is themed out very well. It completely doubles down on it being older with wood walls and eclectic decor everywhere. The staff was extremely friendly and seem to genuinely care. The beds were comfortable. And the suite had plenty of room for our family of 7. The kids loved the smore kit that was in our room.

Overall this is an excellent family friendly choice, that's good for younger families. They have activities such as S'mores at night, pizzas, drinks for the parents. It's close to the beach. There are outdoor games, an arcade, movies to watch. They are moving toward a lot more DIY model, so staff is streamlined. We always enjoy our stay.

If I could leave more than five stars, I would! The staff is great, the cabin was spacious and clean. The courtyard is wonderful, our daughter and pup had a wonderful time playing as this place is so intentional about what they offer! Kids play structures and a sand pit. The game room is so much fun. The amenities room has dog blankets and bowls, a full washer and dryer. The pizza was delicious and s’mores at the fire pits just topped the evening off? HIGHLY recommend!

The rooms here are warm, quaint, and cozy. I love that it's family oriented and has areas for small children. The outdoor fires immediately make you feel calm and relaxed.

Love this place! They have taken an old motel and created the funnest, most delightful, complete experience. They have it all. Fire pits, board game room, mini golf, Adirondack chairs, amenities room, bar with food. The rooms even have a little mini kitchenette with sink, plates, cups, Keurig coffee, fridge, microwave. Love the self check in option! The location is right off hwy 101 so you will get some traffic sounds. But not unmanageable.

I decided to book a night here for a quick January get away and feel like I got a great deal with the off season pricing, especially. However, I think this would be well worth paying for even during the more expensive seasons. This is a place that checks all my boxes for a great stay! It's a vintage property that has been lovingly maintained and improved upon, all while retaining it's original charm. There's plenty of amenities on site...I particularly enjoyed the array of DVD library. In warmer months I could see venturing out to the mini golf in back. Definitely check out their amenities on the website so you can get a idea of just how unique and special the property is. The wood paneled cabin rooms are charming and give the feel of a room on a ship...I almost expected a porthole feature. The colors and decor are tasteful and well thought out. The room was very clean with no musty funk. It was a chilly day out, but the little wall heater actually warmed up the room petty quickly. The linens were all clean and tidy, and the bed and pillows made for a restful night. Be advised that the shower in the bathroom is pretty small. It was perfectly acceptable for me, but I could see someone who is bigger and taller feeling cramped in there. The check in process was quick and I had no issues downloading the keyless entry app on my phone. While I can't say I prefer it more or less to a physical key, I found it easy to use. Parking was plentiful and the entire property felt secure; as a solo female traveler I had no worries about myself or my car while staying here. The couple staff members I interacted with or saw were friendly. I'm definitely adding this to my list of favorite Oregon Coast stays, especially for lovers of older roadside inns and motor courts.

Pros: got a one night room rental on a busy weekend pretty easily. They have a cute aesthetic, a couple of fire pits, an on-site cafe, allow pets, and are close to everything. Cons: The rooms are TINY and not insulated so you hear everything. It's an old building with creaky floors and you can hear the main road pretty well. The rooms are not air conditioned, a small fan is provided, but there were only two outlets in the whole room. So we had to choose between unplugging the fan or the one light in the room if we wanted to charge a phone or plug anything in. The other plug was for the small fridge. I messed up and didn't read the entire pet policy and didn't realize I couldn't leave my two small dogs unattended. We left them for two hours and got charged an extra $100 for them barking at stuff. I completely understood and that was my fault for not reading it-just mentioning it here so other people don't make the same mistake. It almost got us kicked out. We rented a state room, if I stayed here again, I would recommend a cabin room. I previously stayed in one of those and it was roomier. My sister and her family have stayed here several times in the cabins and love it. For what I paid for one night I could've rented a really nice air conditioned hotel or house. I personally would not come back here unless there was literally no other option.

An interesting hotel. Vintage vibes with pizza and a bar on site each night. Walking distance to another bar and some convenience stores and about 20 min walk to the beach but plan to drive everywhere else. The rooms do have an old smell. Like your grandma's house. But not a very big deal. They are clean. Dog friendly too!

You'll see a lot of reviews for Anchor Inn describing it as a "hidden gem" and that's how we feel about it, too! We needed lodging for a night that offered two separate sleeping areas and called to confirm that the staterooms offered this, and they definitely do. The bedroom (king bed) is separated from the living room (sofa bed) by the door and the bathroom, so even though the rooms aren't huge, they feel spacious. There is a little kitchenette area with a mini fridge and coffeemaker, and each room has a smart TV. The bed was really comfortable and our room was quiet. No, the shower isn't huge, but it is clean with great water pressure. Self check-in was easy and the app worked perfectly. We loved walking around this quaint little place and are going to stay again on our next Lincoln City trip - but for multiple nights this time!

We absolutely loved this place - it was such a an unexpected gem. We did a last minute booking and was just needing a place to crash for the night but what we got, instead, was a reason to do a week long vacation in Taft/Lincoln City next year! From the staff (phenomenal), to the amenities (a courtyard with three gas fire pits, and two wood pits - Cornhole and croquet mini golf), and the room was incredible. We will be back!

If you're looking for modern, upgraded and new! Avoid! This place takes everything you'll love about someone taking the time to just create a comfortable space to relax. This place deserves those that appreciate comfort, cozy and just fun! We decided to head out to Lincoln City to pickup a Travel trailer... we love camping. But we decided to get a room the night before. We are sure glad we did! This little hidden gem is a must stay for anyone that has a small family or just wants to experience the little comforts of what I'd say make it a small resort away from home! You heard me, small resort. After a long day at the beach, long drive and just coming to a stop for the evening this will provide you with quite a few fun little amenities! Here are a few! Croquette miniature golf Sand pit to build some sand castles Multiple Gas Fire-pits "Only for S'mores" I kid I kid Game room DVD library, not much for children but next time I'll donate some to the cause. Laundry room General store I call this "Forgotten items room"! This is the most thoughtful of them all! Toothbrushes, toothpaste, beach buckets and sand castle supplies, extra coffee pods and supplies, tea and so much more. This place is very clean, staff that's on site is very friendly and helpful. When I read the reviews only complaint I saw was about the showers being small. I can agree with this. However I can't agree with devaluing it just because of that. The people who own this place just by taking a look around you can tell they care about just making it a fun, easy place to relax. Can't remember the last time a place just brings people together to chat, that's what continued to happen when we made s'mores in the evening and then waking up and just enjoying a cup of Joe around the pit in the morning. Give this place a try and tell me your thoughts by letting me know If this review helped! Enjoy' we sure did.

This place is so charming. It is not fancy in the least but it is so delightful in so many ways! Their automatic check in and mobile keys were very convenient. We stayed in one of their cabin (which aren't actually separate cabins but close enough). All of the cabins open up to their courtyard which is so hospitable. The courtyard has a sand pit, fire pits, picnic tables, lounging area, a game room/arcade, and an amenities room which is thoughtfully stocked with coffee, tea, dvds, laundry facility, wine classes, snores roasting sticks, and extra toiletries. We didn't have pets with us but they are thoughtful to provide dog towels too. The property also has a fun mallet (croquet) gold course that we played 3 times. The course turns into a magically lit fairy garden at night. Like I said, this place is not fancy, probably not a honeymoon location, but it is priced well and there were MANY repeat guests that we ran into and we plan to be repeat guests ourselves.

What a fun spot! We needed a last minute hotel and were able to get a great room with a kitchenette and bring our furry friends. No keys to lose with their convenient app and their sundry room is well stocked -- they even have quilts for extra blankets. The resort is owned by an extended family, who all chip in to run it. They have a sweet little bar and will even deliver pizza to your room. Don't miss out on the S'mores boxes they provide and you can roast your mellows in the courtyard. A delightful weekend getaway.

I have been to many hotels but overall this is the best one to go to. At the anchor inn guest have an opportunity to roast smores by a fire , play provided games from the gaming room , make free hot beverages and more ! The workers show amazing hospitality and a friendly. The room are very homy and clean. They also offer a cabin for more space which is like a Airbnb. My only complaint would be the bathroom being a little small in the cabins. I IRECOMMEND

All the 4/5 start reviews are correct in every respect from comfort and design and thoughtfulness and value. They did a good job detailing so I'll let you read their in -depth and well documented words. I'm gonna address the other reviewer : Website says 3 & when we called to ask, they checked us in at 3. The app let us in at 3. (yes - they are high tech here, you have to get the app) maybe bc this is of season & midweek but thats what happened. Oddly, the comments and criticisms from the 1 star reviewer are "kind of" true but Idk why they thrift it was such a big deal - the parking lot is kinda narrow - is also go great signage & if you've ever been to trader Joe's you can handle it. Is not ON THE BEACH is a 3 min walk. The shower is small - this is not a new construction resort, the bathrooms are circa 1940 when folks were smaller & so was everything else. Restaurant is adequate but now : no substitute.

Insert all the hashtags here! Best sleep of my life at any out of town stay, surprises around every corner, pet friendly, clean, creative, five fire pits, warm and friendly environment, extremely private and quiet. All the amenities of home and more! I have been going to Lincoln city literally my entire life and had no idea that this place existed, it is truly a hidden gem that needs to be shouted from the rooftops so all can enjoy. We were in cabin number nine, there was a king size bed and I don't know how they made it out of clouds but it was heavenly. I feel like this is such a choppy review because I was ecstatic, there's little details everywhere of it being ship themed. All the lights have a captains wheel, there are whale tails everywhere, there are just so many cute intrinsic whispers that were exciting to explore. I love that there are gathering places that are extremely welcoming. There are three gas fires, all of them are in a covered area and two of them have overhead heating as well. There is a wood fire pit in the common area and the wood and lighter is supplied, there is free newspapers in the main hall that I used for kindling. Once you pass the parking lot if you're following the signs for the beach you'll find a sand pit where you can play a croquet version of golf. As you follow the little course you also find there is another wood fire pit hidden in the back with a picnic table and very private. You'll also notice there is a private event space that I wish I knew more about. The big kicker here was that it was $100 a night, absolutely hands-down outrageously low priced! Every room has a Keurig every room had a s'more's package, the bedding was divine, the amenities are just over the top. I will be be back sooner than Later! It is older buildings but with loads of charm, not all units are ADA accessible so definitely double check and if you require air-conditioning double check that on your room as well. The whole area lights up at night with string lights throughout and it's just warming.

Definitely recommend! Stayed at a cabin with small kitchenette (sink, microwave, refrigerator). Shower stall was tiny but clean. Guests are welcome to restock coffee pods and other supplies, including towels, from an amenity room. Lots of dvds to choose from. Logons to streaming services are automatically cancelled at checkout. Pizza and drinks available in the evenings on weekends, and more often during summer. Several fire pits, comfortable seats. The place is charming, great for families, dog friendly, and within walking distance of a fun brewpub. Staff was unwaveringly kind. Such a great getaway!

What a great place!! Happy accidental find! Would definitely stay here again!! Know what kind of place you're booking - a quaint dog friendly cabin in a cute little community type setting. It's not a luxury hotel, it's older and has a lot of character. Cozy accommodations, ours even had a separate bedroom for the kid! They have quirky art, and put thought into the details all over the property. Mini fridge in the room, & coffee maker. The shower was very skinny, but functional. They have a game room, a courtyard with a fire pit & even a croquet set up. Access to the beach, maybe a half mile - easily walking distance. It has charm, & just what you need for a beach get away. Plenty of parking and a great breakfast restaurant across the street! I only heard people in other cabins briefly in the morning, otherwise it was quiet and nice. They have shampoo/conditioner & body soap if you don't bring your own.

This is such a great place. The staff were great and incredibly friendly. They have yard games for the family readily available. Mallet golf, corn hole, board games, vintage arcades, to name a few. They have multiple fire pits and your room comes with smore kits for the kids. The drinks and pizza were great. This is definetly worth a weekend. We will be going back. And the place is like an antique museum. It's great.

We stayed at the Anchor Inn on July 4, 2023. We stayed in cabin 1 and the place is great. 2 adults and 3 teenagers. We had plenty of room, we played croquet golf on the mini course, ate s'mores at the fire pits and walked 2 blocks and watched the fireworks. Perfect place for couples and families. They had corn hole, a game room, and so much more. Definitely will come back again.

I've been staying here for years and it keeps getting better! Every room is unique and the new management team is amazing. I can't wait to come back!

We came here for our wedding anniversary. My husband fell in love with this place. We love their theme decor and pizza is excellent! Big plus they are pet friendly. My husband loves this place so much that we came back again 2 months later for his birthday. Each room comes with complimentary coffee, tea and S'mores kit. This place is great for families and couples.

On a whim we booked this place last minute because of a swim meet in town. It was cheaper than other lower rated hotels, but the photos and reviews looked promising. We were SO happy with this choice! The entire property is well curated, tucked up from the road, and there is a lot of attention to detail. The check in process is contactless so you need to download an app for room access and you can walk straight to your room and enter. The decor on the outside, in the halls, and grounds is quirky and fun. The artwork is nautical and historical naval photos, and the rooms feel like you're staying at grandmas house. They're small but so intimate. There's small kitchen areas, a front room with books and games, toilet with shower and cute tiling, and a master bedroom area with a sink in what used to be the closet. The best part - at night, the ceiling had a painting of stars and galaxies on it!! Aaaahhh!! There's complimentary coffees, hot cocoa, and tea, movies to borrow, books, and even a game area. The courtyard was so amazing. Lots of little nautical things, a sand box with toys, corn hole, fire pits tucked all around, and the most darling cabins surrounding. The pits are timed and you can control them. Perfect for your complimentary s'mores kits! There's an amenities room with laundry and even sand toys for the kids. There's a galley area with an honor system and a really yummy (but pricey though) pizza joint with a bar in it. We almost got a bottle of wine to go back to the room but we were too tired. The croquet golf was such a fun touch and the fire pit at the back was really neat. Extremely dog and kid friendly. You can use your own streaming services from the Roku in the rooms so you can watch shows (the TVs reset when you leave). The rooms don't have a ton of room for luggage, so plan accordingly. The heaters in the room are small but mighty, and the bed was really comfy. We will definitely book again!

This place has only 6 reviews?!? SIX!? Ugh. Such a hidden gem..I'm almost scared to profess my love for this hotel in this review.. Easily THE best hotel in Lincoln City. Absolutely fantastic. The rooms are adorable..like being on an old ship the second you walk through the wooden hallway to your awesome vintage room. Very clean & cozy and the beds are to die for. They even have lux robes in the rooms (our room only had size smalls so that was odd & disappointing for me as I was so excited to wear one but couldn't..my only complaint). There's a sand box for kids, an amazing REAL play ship, an arcade room, a restaurant serving delicious memorable pizza & wings..and an amenities room that is shout-from-the-rooftops worthy!! Literally anything you could think of they've provided for you here. Tooth brushes, movies, chargers, laundry, beach toys, blankets, ice, EVERYTHING. All in a room for you to grab as you please. No other hotel I've ever stayed at has come close to the hospitality this hotel gives..it's phenomenal. Oh, & did I mention this place has amazing Adirondack chairs around fire pits all around & a fun, exciting lit up trail o the beach? And that they give you a whole s'mores kit in your room?! I'll never stay at another Lincoln City hotel. I dream of coming back sometime soon!

This place is the perfect place for families! You almost don't have to leave at all. The pizza is incredible, staff is pleasant and the vintage theme is quaint. The amenities are incredible. It's almost like being at an all inclusive little resort. The only downfall is the dust. There are cobwebs in almost every ceiling corner and dust in almost every untouched surface. Large clumps of dust behind all the furniture. The shower was like a phone booth in #5. We will for sure be back. Looking forward to evenings around the fire.

Fun place to stay. Not fancy but worked great for a one night get away. Nice courtyard with fire pits. Room came with s'mores making. We will stay here again.

This resort is a hidden gem!!! Our family decided to take a trip at the last min for the weekend and we found Anchor Inn! The rooms are wonderful! Colorful art work and so family friendly! The courtyard is so cozy! Fire pits and gas lit pits as well. Each of the areas at the Inn are clean and welcoming! No matter what, rooms can be clean and wonderful but what really makes the stay is the staff! Anchor Inn's staff is top notch! Always makes you feel welcome and a part of the family there!

My stay Wasn't exactly enjoyable. The rooms looked nice and all but. The Tv would freeze up for no reason, DvD Player wouldn't work. DVD's were missing inside cases. Gameroom 's tv didn't work so you couldn't play the console. Sink was dripping. At least the rooms looked nice.

One word: Incredible If I could give this place 100 stars, I would. New favorite place. Clean Easy to access Quiet Friendly Pet friendly Close to beach Rooms and cabins Courtyard Gardens Game room Amenities room- extra: towels, blankets, coffee k-cups, creamers, sugar, glasses, toilet paper, Kleenex, hand sanitizer, toothpaste, toothbrushes, extra soaps, etc Cafe with honor system foods and menu foods Multiple fire pits (both gas and wood options)with plenty of room to be quiet, relaxing, intimate, or accommodating to larger groups. Sandbox was huge for kids to play in Dogs leashed and dog bowls everywhere Well lit for safety at night without being too intrusive Great parking Welcome gift- s'mores package with roasting sticks for fire pits and bottled water Rooms and cabins have sink, microwave and mini fridge Seriously, only place I'm ever staying again

What a Gem!! If you are into quaint, friendly stop or longer in Lincoln City, here's your pad. Retro room with two beds gives privacy for good nights sleep. We were in a quiet room next to the lounge that was stocked with all a traveler needs complete with laundry. Switch on fire pits with complementary s'mores kits. Walk a block or two to under-tourist beautiful sandy beach. Wanted to linger there. Oh and pets allowed for fee!

This is the perfect coastal getaway for families. We had a wonderful time and felt so welcomed. Secure keyless and contactless check in and keyless entry to rooms was so easy. We were able to book a room with two separate bedrooms which is a great find for us with 3 young kids at bedtime. The hotel is right off 101 so if you want to be further away from sound of traffic request so. Small bathrooms and not a lot of natural light in rooms but they were very clean and cozy, the kids loved it. Huge courtyard with sand box and activities for kids, new updated game room, a snack bar and amenities room and fireplaces throughout the courtyard as well. They also give you s'mores box, kids play toys for beach and $5 credit for bar/restaurant on your arrival. Also had the cutest Halloween scavenger hunt which our kids were so excited about. Could not recommend this place more!!

They are disrespectful to their guests and they lie about when you can check in. The website says check in is at three pm but our room was not ready til after four pm. No explanation. The rooms are small and dimly lit. The beds are NOT comfortable! The motel is far from the beach. The parking lot is difficult to maneuver in. Wow what a waste of our money and our precious vacation time. Don't waste your money on this property. There are much better choices.

My husband and I always stay some where new for New Years, and this place was a goldmine! I feel the magic in this place. The lights leading you to the trail to the beach access. The tiny personal touches really shine. It feels very fairy tale-ish like I'm on a ship in the ocean. The cabin feels like something I could stay in on a real ship back in the day. This is a truly dog friendly place! We even got a "s'mores" package in our room and they provide the sticks. Both nights we were here they kept the fire pit going in the courtyard (the wood one) as there's a couple gas ones and one out back in the trail. I don't often travel to the same place twice, but this place... I'm coming back. It's hard to find a place to make you feel this magical during COVID and this place knocked it out of the park.

This place is the best find yet!!!!! The pictures don't do it justice. It's clean, the staff is wonderful and all the extras are so thoughtful and we couldn't have been happier here. 100% SUPERB! Even the music outside was at the perfect volume, perfect jams! ..... like can these people be anymore awesome? Yes, yea they can because you just head back to the beautiful garden area with all the decor and detail they have a very awesome gem here!

This motel was inviting and unique. The suite was quaint and comfortable. The outside seating had a fire pit where guests mingled. The owner Theresa was happy to help in any way she could. The food was delicious and the cook served the best chicken wings and Capresse salad. We only stayed a one night and regretted having to go. We will definitely be back.

I'm a little reluctant to let this gem of the place be known, as it's such a lovely place. The newish owners are working hard to bring this little landmark back to glory. Our cabin #6 was so so cozy. It's not your sleek best western vibe, but an updated old timey charm. Nothing old about the beds so comfortable that I realize I need a new mattress. The hospitality was top notch. The fire pits and almost complete paving as a nice court yard social gathering place makes it a lovely place to hang out. We have two dogs as well. They were so nice about our pooches and we were happy to pay the pet deposit ( we brought comforters from home to put over their white ones and old towels for after beach fun FYI it was a really good idea!) this is truly somewhere we are going to be regulars of. Ps the s'mores kits rock it has been a very long time since I've roasted marshmallows!

Quirky fun and clean. Right off of 101. Easy access with a digital key. Quick check in and out. Very accommodating.

Best little cabin hide out ever!!! Looks small from outside but once you explore the place it's amazing! Great service! And Denise was a great bartender as well as the front desk! I'll definitely be coming back to stay!

Quirky, charming, super comfortable option for one night or extended stay. Cute courtyard with multiple fire pits (nat gas so no smoke) and s'mores kits in each room. Good snacks for purchase choices in you get the munchies. Vast video library for movies. Highly recommend. Great beds, linens, cozy place to stay.

I could not recommend this place more. It is cute, clean, dog friendly, and so many great amenities. I only wish that we could have stayed longer. The staff go above and beyond. All the stars for Anchor Inn Resort!
