My sister and I spent several days and nights at the Nehalem River Inn in late June, and we highly recommend it. The Inn, located on Rte. 53 (in the tiny town of Mohler), overlooks the Nehalem River and is scenic and serene. The grounds of the Inn are lovely, and there is a fire pit right near the river if the evening becomes chilly. All the rooms look attractive and well-designed. We stayed in the Cabin, which was stylish, modern, and comfortable inside. Even better was the attached private deck right near the river bank. There is a small bridge crossing the river that is next to the Inn property, so there is some vehicle traffic you can see and hear, but it did not disturb us or distract us from the perfect contentment of watching the flow of the river and enjoying the natural surroundings in the late afternoon and evening sun. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
The Inn also provides a great base from which to explore Cannon Beach and Manzanita to the north or Tillamook, the three capes, and other points to the south. The small nearby towns of Nehalem and Wheeler are also worthy stops in their own right. Spend some time at the Nehalem River Inn to enjoy the area, or just to enjoy the Inn itself; you'll be glad you did! read more
