A gem in Cape Meares
We love this little house. We stay in Cape Meares at least a few times a year and this is our favorite spot. You can't beat the view and access to the beach, it is well-appointed and comfortable, and the enclosed deck is a bonus for anyone traveling with a dog who likes to sunbathe.

Wonderful winter getaway!
Our favorite place on the coast!! Amazing views of the ocean and lake, wildlife galore, hiking the beach, bay and forests and so on and so forth. It was especially fun this trip during the storms---toasty warm inside while watching the huge waves, wind, rain and hail.

The Perfect Holiday Getaway For All Ages
The Last Resort was the perfect location for our family to escape the craziness of the holidays and spend time making new memories. The house was cozy and well-stocked; I can't think of a thing we needed we couldn't find. You couldn't ask for more epic views. If we had this much fun in the dead of winter with the rain and the early sunsets, we can only imagine how magical it must be in summer. We hope to be back!

The Last Resort
My husband and I rented this property to celebrate our birthdays. Our two sons came to visit for a day each (too short but life happens). Weather started out wet and cold but ended up sunny and warm. The birds in the area are diverse and vocal. We had a lovely, rustic, sand-filled, bird-serenaded stay.

Heaven at roads end!
The house was perfect for two singles, or couples. Maybe two children, they would be in living area on sofa. beach is fabulous, house well equipped for basics, but could do with new blinds. Next time well bring our water filter..tap water is not very palatable. Thanks for dog bowls😊 We were looking forward to canoeing on the bay as offered, but it was just tideflat at the dock. Bird watching was awesome. Will definitely return!

Relaxing, quiet get-away
Very relaxing. The beach was close and relatively secluded. Our dogs loved our beach walks. The home was clean especially the kitchen & bathroom and being able to bring our dogs was a huge bonus. The lake was virtually dry directly in the area of the home. We didn't know if that is seasonal or if the detail should be updated. Overall we had a great trip and enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for kind review. Yes, the lake fluctuates regularly and will likely start filling up at this point. It is generally low in August and/or September depending on water run off. My apologies to boating enthusiasts for the current low water level.

Last Resort is a kind of magical spot. We loved its views of ocean on one side & lake on the other, lake dock for kayaking, and proximity to beach access. It was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. We hope to return!

Fun location
The house is great. Clean and everything was comfortable. There’s a lot of beautiful things to go see right out the front door. We hiked around bay ocean spit, up to cape meares lighthouse/octopus tree and drove to cape lookout and hiked there also. The lake was too shallow to get our canoe in and out from the dock which was a bummer. I would recommend booking earlier in the summer if you’re interested in canoeing or kayaking from the dock.

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay just steps from the beach and views from the home. Going to sleep with the sound of the ocean was the best. It had everything we needed so we were able to make meals there, perfect. Should have a quest book for people to sign to see where everyone is from and their adventures! Tunnel Beach is a must see and not too far away. Also, really appreciated the boat, our boys had fun.

Overpriced for quality of house
Felt overpriced for a quality of old house. This house will need a major renovation and will need a better housekeeping agency. Property manager took time to resolve issue’s quickly so it was a big help. Great location. Beautiful beach. I would come back once house is updated in the future.

Annual getaway weekend
I live in Chicago and my daughter lives in Portland. I visit her every year, and we try to take a few days to get out of town and explore a new area of Oregon. We had been to the Coast before, but never to the Cape Meares/Tilamook area. This property is so amazingly situated on both a lake and the ocean, convenient to many varieties of trails and nature - we loved exploring, and also loved the peaceful surroundings of the home. At night, the only sounds are from the lake (frogs and crickets), combined with the ocean waves. It was a restful three days in lovely surroundings. Genna was a wonderful host!

Comfy, Delightful Treehouse
We had a lovely stay with our daughter, who was visiting from Brooklyn. The view from the living room is amazing--looking west from the comfy couch, you see the ocean waves and beach. Looking east from the kitchen window is one of the most diverse and delightful bird populations we've seen in Oregon--blue mountain jays, red-headed blackbirds, wood thrushes, swallows, a sweet and playful mallard couple and more. It felt like staying in a comfy tree house. We will definitely stay there again!

Total Serenity
This is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The views are spectacular. Although the weather was miserable during our stay, we enjoyed the cozy fire and watching the waves roll in. If you get tired of watching the waves, simply turn your head and look out at the lake. Bird watching during the day and listening to the frogs at night was very peaceful. The house was very well stocked but if you are a coffee drinker, make sure and bring your own coffee as only instant was provided. Would definitely stay at this property again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Last Resort. The views of the ocean and lake are wonderful, the many birds singing, the waves crashing on shore. It was perfect for our fall vacation. We would love to stay again, unfortunately we will be getting a puppy soon and then we would have too many dogs for this great place.

Peaceful fall getaway
The goal was to unplug... mission accomplished. This little house with two bedrooms and a sectional couch and no TV was great for us, our teenager and our friends. Game nights, walks on the beach, and reading books. The kitchen was well appointed with a tea kettle and enough dishes, mugs, pots and pans to let us cook for the crew.

This house was perfect for us! It's in a fabulous location; listen to waves, birds and frogs. Walk to the beach. Minimal traffic. Lots of fishing opportunities nearby. The house itself had all we needed, and it's rustic charm meant we could relax and not worry. It was cozy and cool, depending on what we wanted. The lake was my favorite, the lily pads, newts, fish, birds and nutrea? There was always something going on right out the kitchen window or from the dock. Beds were comfy, including the couch.

Wonderful location
We enjoyed the location of the property. The lake was full of critters that were fun to watch. We loved being able to see the ocean and the lake from the deck and house. The area was quiet. The house was nicely furnished and comfortable. We were thankful to have the use of good binoculars to view the wildlife up close! There were a couple of screen with holes in them - which is problematic when you need to leave the windows open for a breeze and some of the living room blinds are messed up - they almost look like they melted or warped somehow. Otherwise, everything was perfect!
