The magic of the Oregon Coast is unmatched – the invigorating sea air, the breathtaking beaches, local shops and quaint restaurants, and the friendly people are just some of the reasons that people love visiting here. If you’re looking to get away from the hectic hustle and bustle of everyday life this fall or winter, Drifthaven at Gearhart is waiting to welcome you.   

Gearhart is one of the Oregon Coast’s smallest and most charming towns and is a quick and scenic 90-minute drive from Portland. Its wide streets with no traffic lights, beautiful neighborhoods, slower pace, and laid-back lifestyle are exactly what people love about this special coastal destination. Drifthaven at Gearhart, a 12-room, centrally located boutique hotel, is nestled in the heart of Gearhart and is a wonderful place to rest and rejuvenate. The hotel welcomes Pacific Northwest guests with a special PNW Resident Rate, available for visitors from Oregon and Washington. With a state ID as proof of residency and by booking directly, guests can enjoy the comfort and tranquility of Gearheart at a discounted rate.

Whether you’re a couple looking to celebrate an anniversary, a group of friends looking for a low-key retreat, a family looking for a quieter pace for the weekend, or a solo traveler looking for some solitude, Drifthaven at Gearhart has every detail covered for you. Each room features deluxe rain shower heads, soft beds, electric tea kettles and French press coffee makers, and plenty of warm blankets. Grab your favorite sweatshirt and snuggle into the cozy sitting area with a mimosa, your favorite novel, sketch pad, or one of the Elle Cree paint-by-number kits for purchase. Each room has a culinary pantry stocked with regional treats, Smith Teas, and locally roasted coffee beans.

Klaudio Simic, president of Practice Hospitality, said, “Fall and winter are when the Oregon Coast reveals its most magical side—quiet beaches, dramatic skies, and the chance to truly slow down. At Drifthaven, we’ve created a retreat where every detail, from fireplaces and board games in the rooms to hot buttered rum on arrival, is designed to make cozy season feel effortless.”

When you’re ready to venture out for some fresh coastal air, you’ll experience beautiful, uncrowded beaches in Gearhart. You can take a long and meandering beach walk, relax on the beach with one of Drifthaven’s sunset bonfire kits available for purchase, or grab some sand toys and beach wagons for some good old-fashioned play. If you’re looking for more physical activity, borrow bicycles from the hotel and explore the town on your own terms, or plan on bringing your golf clubs to play 18 holes at the oldest golf course west of the Mississippi River, Gearhart Golf Links.

Simic shared, “For Portlanders, Gearhart is less than two hours away but feels like a world apart. Drifthaven offers that rare combination of timeless charm and modern comfort—a place to reconnect, recharge, and rediscover why the coast is so special in the cooler months.”
