River Ridge Retreat is a private guest suite in our home, high in the spruce on the ridge above the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Fog drifts over the wetlands in the morning, bald eagles ride the wind overhead, and the Pacific catches the sunset beyond the bay. It's the quiet side of Pacific City, minutes from Cape Kiwanda and the dory beach.
King bed · Sleeps up to 3 · Private entrance & deck
A private one-bedroom suite on the lower floor of our newly built home, with its own entrance, a sitting area, and a desk for working remotely. The half-wall carries an original mural of the coast's sea life, hand-painted by a Pacific City artist.
The suite looks out over the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The bay and estuary change with every tide, and on clear evenings the sun sets over the Pacific where the Nestucca River meets the sea.
Pacific City is a small town with one main road and one of the only beaches in the country where fishing dories still launch straight off the sand. Explore the tide pools at Cape Kiwanda at low tide, climb the dune, walk the beach toward Haystack Rock, or watch the dory fleet come in with a pint from Pelican Brewing. Quiet most of the year and lively in summer, it keeps its fishing community vibes in every season.
A spur-of-the-moment trip to the Oregon Coast in 2020 turned into land on this ridge in 2021 and, after years of planning, this home in 2025. The guest suite has its own entrance; we live on-site. Read our story.
“This is our home. We work from home, so we'll usually be around — quietly, in our own space. We're sharing it with you in the hope that you find the same joy in this place that we do.”
We designed the suite into the house from the start, with a private deck above the refuge.
Wi-Fi at 300 Mbps down and 50 up, a smart TV for your streaming apps, and a desk with a view for the days you need to log on.
A king bed with a Stumptown mattress made here in Oregon, beach towels in the closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and a basket of travel toiletries.
A Nespresso and electric kettle, mini fridge, and microwave for slow mornings and easy dinners in. Breakfast isn’t served, so plan on making your own.
Two Adirondack chairs above the refuge, front row for sunsets and wildlife.
Guests can also use the community clubhouse's indoor pool, hot tub, and fitness room, which our homeowners' association manages.
The Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge runs right below the suite, and the birds are up before anyone else.
This coast is wild, lived-in, and shared. We hold to the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association's Care for the Coast Pledge and ask our guests to read it before they visit.
A one-bedroom Bed & Breakfast guest suite minutes from Cape Kiwanda and the dory beach, with year-round views of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Check your dates and book on Airbnb.
