Ocean Haven

Northern Oregon Coast


This casual inn 8 miles south of Yachats is run by an eccentric couple devoted to ocean preservation. All rooms come with kitchenettes and awesome ocean views. There's free wi-fi but no cell service, TVs or in-room phones. The rustic cabin has hosted author Robert Bly. Whimsical details add personality to an already quirky place.
