    Lake House Bed & Breakfast (Otis, Oregon)

    Published: Feb 26, 2016 · Modified: Jan 19, 2024 · by Renée B. · This post may contain affiliate links.

    The Lake House Bed & Breakfast, Lincoln City, Oregon | The Good Hearted Woman

    Visiting The Lake House is a lot like visiting your grandparents' house - your cool grandparents who make you awesome breakfasts, talk a mean game of baseball, and then leave you alone to do pretty much whatever you want.

    Over the years, one of the rituals that Mr. B and I have established is to take an annual Valentine’s weekend getaway. Mr B takes charge of making all the arrangements for our annual escape, so all I have to do is pack my bag and hop in the car.

    Valentine bliss with my sweetheart, with all the planning done for me – what more could a girl ask for?

    There's No Place Like Grandma's House

    Mr B found us this lovely little retreat just a few hours from Portland: The Lake House Bed & Breakfast, located on Devil’s Lake, two miles from the Pacific coast and downtown Lincoln City.

    The sign hanging over the breakfast room door at The Lake House speaks volumes. Visiting The Lake House is a lot like visiting your grandparents' house - your cool grandparents who make you awesome breakfasts, talk a mean game of baseball, and then leave you alone to do pretty much whatever you want.

    We stayed in The Lakeside Room, a lovely suite on the second level of the main house with a private outside entrance and a beautiful view of the lake.

    The room was homey and pleasant, and our king-size bed was extremely comfortable. The soft mauve and ecru decor, while somewhat dated, was nevertheless pleasant and attractive.

    The room has a small sitting area, and a café table by the large picture window where you can enjoy a beautiful lake view with your morning coffee.

    The Lakeside Room also comes with a private hot tub on the deck that overlooks the lake, and thick, comfy robes are provided to keep you cozy and warm when you are getting to and from the hot tub.

    Sitting out in the coastal air surrounded by warm bubbles as you watch the day fade over the lake makes for a wonderfully relaxing way to unwind.

    Lake House Hospitality

    Our hosts, Red and Mary, made us feel comfortable and welcome, and gave us the privacy we desired as well.

    Each morning when we came downstairs, we were greeted by Red and Mary and a lovely (color coordinated!) breakfast. The menus were well thought out and the food was delicious. After serving up the food, our hosts joined us at the table each day for a lively conversation, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them.

    Collage: Large red glasses; stained glass butterfly, breakfast plate with quiche, toast, and hashbrowns.

    One thing that really stands out to me is our hosts’ efforts to make our experience as pleasant as possible. On the night we arrived, Red and Mary were just getting ready to eat their dinner. 

    The path up to our room took us by the kitchen, and noticing a plate of smoked salmon on the counter, I made a passing remark about how much I loved it, but didn’t think anything more about it.

    Imagine my delight when we arrived at breakfast the next morning to find that Mary had prepared a delicious salmon quiche for us! (Mary was even kind enough to share her quiche recipe with us!)

    Sunroom; with upholstered chairs, sky lights, coffee table, magazines.

    The lake is just a few steps away down the hill from the house, and if you are in the mood to go out on the water, Red and Mary have a rowboat that you can use.

    If you are planning a trip to the Lincoln City area and are looking for a peaceful spot to stay, we highly recommend checking out The Lake House. (Be sure and tell Red and Mary that we sent you!)

      Oh my, that place looks so charming and perfectly B&B. My husband and I absolutely love staying in B&Bs, and in fact we once thought we wanted to own and run one someday. Now that we have two small kids we usually stay in suite style hotels (for the time being!!!), but I can't wait for them to be old enough (and mature enough) to stay at B&Bs.

      What a sweet little spotlight! I've never stayed in Lincoln City - only passed by because it always seems so crowded and congested, but I've always wanted to be able to just stop and stay to see what all the fuss is about. I much prefer little inns like this where you can get more personality than a faceless corporate hotel. Thanks for highlighting them!

      On our way to Lincoln City we always stop at the Diner in Otis! Such a cute little town. This place looks like a great getaway!
