Wheeler on the Bay Lodge and Marina

We went for a quick getaway in April, and stayed in the Sunset Room. What a beautiful weekend! The Sunset Room does not disappoint! The deck was nice, but it was still cold enough that we preferred the view from the bed. Everything was clean and inviting! Watching the birds and the otters was a delight! We will definitely stay again!

My only regret is that I wish we could have stayed longer just so we spend more time out on our deck and watch the light move across the water. My husband would have loved to take out one of the kayaks on offer and go for a fish. We stayed in the honeymoon suite, and it was amazing.--the wrap-around views, the comfortable bed, and the easy access to all the local beaches! Finally, we loved chatting with the owners. Gordon is "snort-your-milk-through-your-nose" hilarious, and Martha 's back story is fascinating and pretty badass.

The wife and I stumbled onto this hotel through a train ride. We were already staying at a historic hotel in the area, and love old hotels. We entered the hotel to look around as we walked through there wasn't anyone in the place we were in the dining area when a woman entered the room and made it clear we were NOT WELCOME THERE at all in an extremely passive aggressive way informed us that the place was full and she didn't have time to give us a tour with a I'm so much better than you attitude and I don't have time for the likes of you doing everything short of physiclly pushing us out the the door as she asked If we got off the train and stating the door should have been locked ( presumably to keep the likes of people like us out) . As other reviewers have stated this person ( presumably the owner) is RUDE and UNWELCOMING and we will NOT every give this person a dime and recomend people STAT FAR AWAY from this hotel. There are hundreds of places like this to stay in the area and it would be best to let this person enjoy her hotel by her self.

We had a great experience at the Wheeler Marina, clean, well appointed and they provided movies and a selection of breakfast foods the night before. We also found a terrific dinner spot called the “Night Owl!” The rockfish special was amazing.

Delightfully quiet location, great owners and comfortable accommodations! The Lodge is right at the edge of Nehalem Bay. Gorgeous, peaceful views. We were in the Otter Room, which had a little balcony overlooking the water, fridge, microwave, sink, and kitchen basics, shower, and queen and twin beds. When you check in you get a selection of breakfast items, and a snack. :-) There is also a huge DVD library. We loved the free kayaks, and had a sunset paddle. The town is tiny, but has a couple of good food options very short walk away. Martha and Gordon were really lovely, hospitable and caring! About 30 mins drive to Cannon Beach, and other scenic areas. Bit larger town Nehalem only 5 minute drive.

Tremendously beautiful property and hosts are The best. So comfortable, can’t say enough, you will love staying here.

My daughter & I stayed in the Otter Room. This room is decorated so cute & the private deck/patio is a lovely place to have morning coffee! It’s almost as if the owners knew us before our arrival, as there were two fans in the room! I always sleep with a box fan on high! This was a nice plus since it was a warm weekend!!! We took advantage of the free DVD rental & it was fun browsing the large selection of movies! I stayed here over 21 years ago while pregnant with my daughter so it was very cool to stay with her & take pics & create memories! The room was clean & very well equipped with a fridge, coffee pot & microwave!

Beautiful place and wonderful staff! Love the decor and amenities! So clean and cozy! The best place I have ever stayed!

I didn't know what to expect. Completely exceeded my/our expectations. Clean, comfy, attention to details, kept being surprised with more the Lodge had to offer. The owners are extremely sweet. The picnic basket breakfast was so cute (it even included a drink, something sweet and something to snack on as well for the evening or daytime). We were able to dock our boat at their private dock and utilize their cleaning station. I hesitate to write a review because I don't want "my room" taken for our next future trips ;) Also, enjoyed sitting in their nice bay front seating and watching all the wildlife and of course people watch. Our Grand babies enjoyed watching the hummingbirds and other wildlife as we sat observing nature. This lodge has really thought of everything. Thank you Martha and Gordon We will see you next time.
