Rhonda and I spent our honeymoon at the Stephanie 10 years ago this November 13th. We are native to the Pacific Northwest and both of us enjoy our beautiful coastline tremendously. When friends told us about how marvelous the Stephanie Inn was down at Cannon Beach, we decided it would be our destination on our wedding night. We were not disappointed as it is absolutely beautiful, romantic and a very special place. There is nothing else like it in the Northwest! We have very fond memories of starting our marriage at such a beautiful location on the Oregon coast and have returned several times over the last 10 years. We plan on spending our 10 year anniversary there this fall and I’m sure it will again provide us many new memories for the years to come.

PS. your biscuits with gravy are to die for!

My Memory:15 years ago my husband and I enjoyed a brief, but beautiful and memorable honeymoon at Stephanie Inn.

As a college student planning a fall wedding we were limited to 3 nights to create a once in a lifetime getaway before heading back to classes.

We spent the first 2 nights at Stephanie Inn and it could not have been more perfect. The service was warm, welcoming and exceptional in every way. The furnishings and linens were exquisite. And our mouths still water when we talk about the delicious, chef prepared dinner we enjoyed in the dining room.

So what about the third night? Our plan had been to travel down the coast to stay in a reputable lodge in another town. Under most circumstances the accommodations would have been acceptable. However, having just left the romantic ambiance of Stephanie Inn, our new surroundings fell flat by comparison. It was too late to arrange to return to Stephanie Inn. Rather than end our trip with disappointment we opted to cut our trip short and returned home that night.

15 years later we still enjoy visiting Stephanie Inn to celebrate anniversaries. Our visits always live up to the memories of our first trip.

Stephanie Inn is a gem on the Oregon Coast. You can always anticipate an exceptional experience and never leave disappointed!

My Memory: I arrived to the beautiful Stephanie Inn after a two and a half month cycling trip across the United States. With Haystack Rock as the perfect backdrop, I could not have asked for a better finish line. My fellow riders and I ran onto the beach with our bikes and celebrated, cracking champagne in the surf and going for the full immersion in the Pacific. Perfectly situated along the coast, I had the pleasure that evening of walking right out of my room at the inn onto the beach, dotted with bonfires and groups enjoying the summer air. Lantern in hand, I strolled along the beach, trying to steal a glimpse of Haystack Rock which had now been engulfed in a serene darkness. Following the lights of the Stephanie Inn, I retreated to my room and, having just spent two and a half months roughing it in a sleeping bag, enjoyed my first night back in a real bed. What a delightful experience! I fell asleep surrounded by sounds of the ocean and the warmth of the fireplace. The following morning I awoke to see Haystack Rock emerge from a blanket of lifting fog. I enjoyed every second of my stay at the Stephanie Inn and cannot wait to return. It was the perfect end to an incredible journey.

My Memory:  I have been coming to the Stephanie in for several years. It all started when friends and I had an annual trip to Cannon Beach; I discovered the Inn while running on the beach one morning, and stopped to take a look. I was amazed at how beautiful and welcoming it is, our annual trip stopped a few years ago, but I have continued with the Stephanie Inn... I love the people, the atmosphere, and the food and hospitality is amazing. My wife Kathy and I celebrated our honeymoon with you and we visit for every anniversary. Thank you so much, I love Cannon Beach and the Stephanie Inn. My favorite place anywhere....

My Memory: Our trip was supposed to start and end in Portland, however, after a lovely evening strolling the city, we decided we needed to see more of Oregon, particularly the coast. On a whim, we drove to Cannon Beach and our car guided us into your beautiful hotel. Luckily, you had availability and we even had the privilege of staying in an oceanfront suite. Our stay was absolutely wonderful and very memorable. Our room had an amazing view. Your staff was ever so helpful and charismatic.

My Memory:  My husband and I hadn't been able to get away for our anniversary for a couple of years. We have two young boys and life seemed to get away from us. We had both spent so much time trying to ensure that our boys felt valued and loved that our relationship took a backseat.

My mom had given us a gift certificate for The Stephanie Inn and we finally realized that we need to get away to reconnect.

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt pampered and so relaxed. The Inn staff was so amazingly warm and welcoming. Our room was so comfortable, yet elegant. It was so fantastic to be in a place where we could focus on each other. From the afternoon wine gathering to the breakfast the next day, The Stephanie Inn far exceeded our expectations.

Thank you for helping us celebrate our anniversary last year. We are hoping to make it back again soon; our visit there is truly one of our most favorite memories as a married couple.
