About Ecola Creek Lodge
Ecola Creek Lodge has anchored the quiet north end of Cannon Beach for close to sixty years, where the Oregon Coast picks up a touch of New England charm. The property is not a single building but a small cluster of white Cape Cod style cottages spread across a green campus of lawns, planted gardens, and a koi pond, with rabbits often out on the grass. The name comes from Ecola Creek, which winds past the north end of town on its way to the beach. No two rooms are alike, and the whole place trades a downtown address for a calmer setting a couple of blocks back from the sand. It is the location and the grounds that make it: a walkable, garden-wrapped base for the beach, Haystack Rock, and Ecola State Park just up the coast.
What Ecola Creek Lodge Is Known For
The setting is what sets this place apart. Few properties in Cannon Beach put you this close to the sand while wrapping you in lawns, gardens, and a koi pond on a quiet residential edge of town. Families return for the mix of space, kitchens, and a garden campus the kids can roam, all a short walk from one of the most photographed beaches on the West Coast.

Worth Knowing
- The property is spread across several low Cape Cod buildings, so ask about location and layout when you book since no two rooms are the same.
- Rooms are accessed from outside across a garden campus rather than interior hallways.
- Studios are compact; the one and two bedroom suites add full kitchens and gas fireplaces for longer family stays.
- Pets are welcome. A pet fee applies; contact the property directly to confirm current amounts and any restrictions before booking.
- The beach and downtown are both an easy walk, so you can park once and leave the car for most of your stay.
The Room
The rooms run from simple queen studios to family sized one and two bedroom suites, and no two are laid out the same. Suites add full kitchens, gas fireplaces, and private balconies, some looking out over the garden and some toward the beach. Rooms come with a refrigerator, a microwave, a TV with a DVD player, and free WiFi, so a rainy coast evening can turn into a movie night in. It is a classic, traditional feel rather than a designed one, comfortable and built for families settling in for a few nights by the water.
The Grounds
The grounds are the reason to come. The Cape Cod cottages sit among wide lawns, flower gardens, and a koi pond, with picnic tables and beach chairs set out for guests and a quiet, tucked-away feel a couple of blocks off the main drag. Parking is free and on site. Ecola Creek runs along the north edge of town nearby, and a short walk down the block puts your feet on the sand.
The Experience
Staying here is about the setting and the walk to the water. Mornings start with coffee on the lawn or the balcony, the koi pond and gardens close at hand, before the two-block stroll to a broad, quiet stretch of beach at the north end of town. Days fill with Haystack Rock and its tide pools, the trails of Ecola State Park, and the galleries and bakeries of downtown, all within an easy walk or short drive. Evenings come back to a gas fire in the suite and a movie, or a picnic on the grounds as the light drops over the coast.
