The Drifthaven at Gearhart

What guests think

At The Drifthaven at Gearhart, guests praise charming, cozy cottages in a quiet, walkable setting near the beach, with thoughtful design and a relaxed vibe that make it a comfortable base for low‑key coastal escapes and nearby town visits.

The property offers a pleasant garden courtyard with fire pits and games, free bikes and beach gear, and convenient parking by the rooms. Rooms feel stylish and snug, but several note small layouts, low or soft beds, occasional odors or maintenance issues, and in one case a poorly lit stair causing injury and disappointment with follow‑up. Service is generally warm and welcoming, while the complimentary breakfast baskets range from delightful to fairly basic depending on expectations. Expect a cozy, design‑forward stay in a quiet beach town with a few quirks.

We had an amazing time. The room was very cozy and I loved that you can get a s'mores box and use one of the fire pits to roast marshmallows. The place is so close to the beach and they provided a blanket to sit on out there. We enjoyed taking the 5 min drive to Seaside to check out the shops and such where it's busier but being able to sleep somewhere quiet and quaint. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The only qualm I have is that check-in is at 4 but they close the office at 6. I think staying open just one extra hour would be helpful. I found this stay from a tiktok @abbymariedonnelly posted on 9/20/22. We would definitely stay again, thank you for having us!

We only stayed 2 nights at Drifthaven but my wife and I loved it. The room was homey and clean. Staff drop off a basket of fruit, juice, and pastries every morning. We arrived quite late but check-in was easy and convenient with everything handled via email. We appreciated that there was parking right outside the room. The property has a nice little garden area where can sit and enjoy the evening. All in all great places to stay, highly recommend.

We recently stayed here for a few nights with our grandchildren. We stayed in Cottage 11. We loved having access to the garage full of beach toys, chairs, BBQ, picnic tables and fire pits for s’mores! We enjoyed a delicious welcome cocktail after arrival. So thoughtful. What put this place over the top for us was the beautiful breakfast basket delivered to our door every morning. This will definitely be our forever stay when in Gearhart. Thank you!

Cutest little old motor court type motel. Completely remodel with a small kitchen. Check in was easy, staff we encountered were really friendly. Great location, away from the hustle in Seaside but close enough to quickly drive there for restaurants and shops. Walking distance to beach. This place is truly a gem. We will make this our go to place when visiting the North Coast. Dog friendly with a great yard space. Lawn games and firepits.

Super cute cottages that were very well appointed. Comfortable bed, a thermostat driven gas fireplace for heat and a retro feel made this feel special. We were greeted by the host with a hot buttered rum and the next morning breakfast baskets were brought to the room. Highly recommend! It was too cold for us to enjoy the garden space but there were picnic tables, and enclosed bubble sitting area and lounge chairs. Just 30 mins from Astoria; we're so glad we found this little gem of a place.

The decor and overall concept are really cute, and the space felt cozy, which I appreciated. That said, there’s definitely room for improvement. The unit we stayed in had an unpleasant odor, the shower pressure was weak, and the bathroom was a bit cramped—with some visible mold on the shower curtain, which wasn’t ideal. The mattress wasn’t firm enough for me, and the ceiling fan didn’t work, which made it hard to get proper air circulation. With a few updates, this could be a much more comfortable stay.

Beds and seating in both were not that comfortable (low to the ground, didn’t support our backs). Kitchen no longer has oven. French press and water pot for coffee. Fridge pretty full of items they were selling so left little room for the items we bought for meals. Breakfast is continental only. Welcome drink was delicious,,

This is exactly what I was looking for. I am lucky to do a solo "mom/artist retreat" each year. The space offered a well stocked kitchen for cold foods and separate areas for the activities I wanted to do. You walk in to a gas burning stove (that IS the heat source and attached to thermostat), music and mood lighting. Great welcome! I can see why for some people it would not be ideal with steps, lower bed, smaller kitchen table. But for me it was perfect. Plus I loved the aesthetic. Wish there a very brief PRINTED overview of rules/expectations. I.E. How to turn down heat, when breakfast comes, how to request items, etc. The one big thing I really missed was a bath tub or soaking tub. That would have made the trip complete.

Extremely tiny room with micro furniture. Recently remodeled. Bed was very low and extremely soft. The pilot on the gas stove in the room wouldn’t turn off and the interior temp was 79 degrees with all of the windows open. Extremely overpriced at more than $2/sqrt ft per night. Worst value ever!

The Drifthaven was one of our favorite places to stay! Check in was quick and simple. The room was so cute and the bed was soft and comfy. There were board games and cards around the room that kept us entertained throughout the night. They knew we were bringing our dog, so they provided dog bowls, a blanket, a towel and a treat for our dog! That was a thoughtful touch! Breakfast each morning was provided in a woven basket, and it was a wonderful thing to wake up to and a great start to the day. The property is well kept and the staff is friendly and welcoming! We will definitely be coming back here

Drifthaven is undeniably charming: beautifully designed, cozy, and nestled in a peaceful part of Gearhart. I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, my stay ended with a serious injury due to a safety issue in the room that I feel compelled to share. On the last morning of my stay, around 4am, I went downstairs to use the restroom. The stairs inside the room are not lit, and the banister ends on the second-to-last step, which makes it deceptive to navigate in low light. Because of the banister situation, I missed the final step, tripped, and fell hard, so badly that I could barely walk and had to go to Urgent Care that morning. My spouse had to drive out from Portland and pick me up, and I had to cut my trip short and cancel a work conference commitment due to the injury. I informed staff immediately, and they said they’d notify the manager and follow up. I never heard back. I also submitted feedback via email the day after I left, still nothing. Between the medical bills, the disruption to my work, and the lack of response, I’m really disappointed. I’m sharing this in hopes that management will take this seriously. Installing small lights along the stairs would be a simple fix that could prevent future accidents. I expected more attentiveness from a place that clearly puts so much care into its aesthetic and I am disappointed. I would love to stay here again, but would like the safety lights installed and for the customer service to improve first.

We thought the nightly rental rate was high relative to the size of our room and the amenities offered. The breakfast was really thin; the juice and fresh fruit was fine but the coffee cake(s) were quite small and both seemed dry and of modest quality. Fresh pastry and coffee from the bakery across the street would have been a big improvement.
