Nehalem, Oregon
A floating motel on the Nehalem River — where the water is your floor, the bay is your backyard, and every sunrise arrives through a window that opens to nothing but sky and silver.
Each unit is a self-contained floating home moored along the Nehalem River — designed for comfort, character, and the kind of quiet that only comes when the ground beneath you moves gently with the water.
A cozy, fully furnished floating room with river-facing windows, a comfortable queen bed, and a private entry off the dock. Everything you need for a peaceful night on the water.
Our most spacious floating accommodation, featuring a separate sitting area, a full private deck overlooking the river, and premium finishes throughout. Ideal for guests who want to linger.
Positioned at the edge of the moorage where the river opens to the bay, this unit offers expansive water views, a comfortable double bed, and the unmistakable sound of gentle waves against the hull.
This is a different kind of stay — one that begins the moment you step onto the dock and feel the subtle, rhythmic motion of the water carrying your room along with it.
Moored along the calm waters of the Nehalem River, just minutes from the Pacific. Wake to mist rising off the water and the distant call of river birds.
Walk onto the dock and you're a short stroll from Nehalem Bay — known for its wildlife, tidal flats, and some of the most dramatic sunsets on the Oregon coast.
Floating motels are a vanishing tradition on the Pacific Coast. Staying here means becoming part of a quiet, decades-old story of river life and coastal ingenuity.
No crowds, no noise, no rush. The rhythm here is set by the tides. Read a book on your deck, watch herons from your window, let the river do the talking.
Nehalem is a small, friendly coastal town with local shops, restaurants, and a genuine sense of place. The kind of community where strangers nod hello on the street.
You can stay anywhere — but you can only sleep on the water here. This is the kind of trip people remember and tell stories about for years.
We're located on Riverside Drive along the Nehalem River, just inland from the bay and the Pacific Ocean. A quiet stretch of the Oregon coast that rewards those who take the detour.
