Stephanie Inn is a luxury oceanfront inn at 2740 S Pacific Street in Cannon Beach, Oregon, on the north Oregon coast in Clatsop County. Positioned on the sandy beach with direct sightlines to Haystack Rock — the 235-foot sea stack that defines Cannon Beach's iconic shoreline — the Stephanie Inn is consistently rated among the finest small hotels on the Pacific Coast. The property operates as an adult-oriented retreat for guests aged 18 and older, maintaining a romantic and tranquil atmosphere throughout. The 41 rooms and suites include Fireplace Rooms, Ocean View Suites, and the Penthouse, all decorated with a warm coastal Pacific Northwest sensibility: natural wood tones, stone fireplaces, plush bedding, and large picture windows framing the Pacific Ocean. All room rates include a full gourmet breakfast served each morning in the dining room, with the menu rotating seasonally to feature locally sourced Oregon ingredients. Complimentary evening wine and hors d'oeuvres service in the lobby lounge is a daily social ritual that encourages conversation among guests. An indoor heated pool and spa facilities provide comfort on the frequently cool and overcast North Oregon coast. The inn's dining room serves multi-course dinners for guests, with wine pairings available. The concierge team provides guidance on tide pool exploration, coastal hiking at Ecola State Park, gallery browsing in Cannon Beach village, and storm-watching excursions during winter months. The beach is accessible directly from the inn's grounds. Rates run USD 350 to USD 700 or more per night depending on room type and season, with premium pricing in summer and during the February storm-watching season.
