Our Story

 
 

It all started when…

The Inn at Arch Rock rose up from the circa 1948 Arch Rock Motel and Cottages to combine the elegance and romance of Cape Cod with the ruggedness and casual comfort of the Oregon Coast. Situated on the north side of Depoe Bay, the Inn looks south across the bay to the interaction of the mighty Pacific and the rocky shoreline of black basalt. From the comfort of your room or an Adirondack chair on our lawn, enjoy storm watching, whale watching, or just the peace and quiet of stepping off the beaten path.

In the morning, join us for a nice hot breakfast! Technically it is continental, but we put our own special spin on it with rotating items. but there fresh baked pastries, fruit, juice and locally roasted coffee from Pirate Coffee Company. Dine in our lobby and visit with other guests! Our small and friendly staff is ready to wow you, whether that be helping you plan your activities for the day, or retreating with tray to your room, with privacy sign duly hung, available if you need us for when you want to discover the coast at your own pace.

When you’re ready to start your day, you can explore historic Depoe Bay. Stroll through charming seaside shops, enjoy the freshest seafood available, and tour the Bay itself, the world’s smallest working harbor! Depoe Bay also makes claim as a Whale Watching Capital, as a resident group of grey whales makes its home in the bay and surrounding waters. Local whales and those passing through at migration times can be seen eight or more months of the year. Watch for them playing and feeding in the kelp beds near our shores.

Our Inn is located just two hours from Portland and Eugene and only one hour from Salem. Nestled between Lincoln City and Newport, Depoe Bay is a centrally-located base for exploring the coast and all it has to offer. Please contact us! We can't wait to wow you.
