The Craftsman Bed & Breakfast

We spent a couple chilly coastal nights here in January, 2012- our first time seeing the Oregon Coast and we were very happy with the accomodations. Mike was a gracious host, made amazing breakfasts both mornings, and was happy to answer our many questions about his B&B "project" (Check out the scrapbook and ask him!) and also happy to point us in the direction of potential dinner places or anything else we needed. The bed was soooooo comfy, our room was simple and warm; it just felt like staying with friends, which is why we like B&Bs so much in general. No, you can't see the ocean from the room, but you can sure hear it, and its just a hop skip and a jump away. We were looking for some peace and quiet and we definitely got it at the Craftsman.

We came for a New Year's getaway and enjoyed every minute of it! The craftsmanship in the house truly lives up to its name, and the owner's quirky collection of salt & pepper shakers made me smile. I loved the deep porcelain tub with a book holder and also took advantage of the hot tub out back at night. The bed was soooooo comfortable, slept so deeply. Oh, and the espresso! Wow! Something like 6 different bean varieties...so delicious! The color of our room (green) was very soothing, and the antique furniture was perfectly chosen. Our host was perfectly accomodating and not in the least bit intrusive. Breakfast the next mornings was wonderful, enjoyed dining with other travelers - others had all been here before. I think we might become repeat guests ourselves!

The service was attentive and excellent--from welcome throughout our stay and check out. The property is well appointed and has one-of-a-kind character. The location is great. The Pacific City beaches are stunning.

We really enjoyed this B&B. It is about 200 feet from the best restaurant on the coast in this area. The owner is friendly and made tasty breakfast for us. He also was able to give us great information regarding all the activities my wife and I were looking to do on the coast. Thanks for the great couple of days!

The Craftsman is a wonderful place to relax in an area on the Oregon Coast overlooked by most tourists. The gracious and knowledgeable innkeeper, Michael, was a pleasure to chat with during breakfast. The food was fresh and inventive. Wine list was solid and fairly priced. After staying only one night, my wife and I are already planning our next visit.

We stayed two nights at The Craftsman during the first week of December, for our 30th anniversary. As noted by the Outstanding ratings I've given, we found the house to be a lovely place to relax, and Michael's attention to details was first-rate. Breakfasts were delicious and served with an artful flair. When I mentioned I was avoiding wheat, he conjured up gluten-free French toast, and cookies! Pacific City is small but there's lots to do in the area, and when we return The Craftsman will again be our preferred destination.

We felt welcomed, attended to, and pampered by the custom-brewed coffee drinks in the morning. Our host was gracious and helpful, and surprised us with homemade brownies after we arrived. We'll be back!

Very tidy -lovely rooms. Wonderful furniture. Food was tasty - not as plentiful as I am used to from B&Bs.

The Craftsman is a beautiful place to stay, appointed with style and skill, close to town, within walking distance of some very nice restaurants as well as the beach and waterfront, and with a relaxing atmosphere. The owner of the B&B exhibits a wry wit and attention to all the details. Highly recommended!

This was my third visit to the Craftsman, and the best yet. The house is a beautifully finished restoration and the staff has though through all the details of your stay to ensure it is as relaxing as possible. Don't forget to head across the street to The Delicate Palate, which ispossibly the best restaurant on the coast.

The Craftsman is a pretty little B&B tucked away in idyllic Pacific City. Mike was a wonderful host. The MacIntosh room was lovely with a very comfortable bed and large bathroom. Just a short walk to the beach and dining places. Breakfast was yummy and we have vowed to return.

Our stay was awesome. Great rooms, great service. Would go again in a heartbeat.

My wife and I decided to travel to the Northwest from Texas for our 13th anniversary. We knew we wanted to spend some time on the coast, and began our search in Pacific City for accommodations. After reading other positive reviews for the Craftsman, we called and spoke with Mike and made our reservations. Upon arrival, Mike greeted us, showed us around and made us feel right at home. He suggested places to go, things to do, times to be there, and ultimately, treated us like family. Breakfast was served right on time each day, and was spectacular. The whole experience was so much more like a stay at a friend's house, rather than a hotel stay.

Mike was very helpful throughout our stay. Gave us great suggestion for the you do not want to miss spots and if you can only stop at one place options.

A coworker recommended staying in Pacific City. I searched the destination & found the Craftsman. It was just as pleasant of a surprise as was the town. Mike the InnKeeper is very attentive, extremely knowledgeable about many things, a great tour guide.

What a wonderful trip! We spent 2 nights at the Craftsman and enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to be back whenever we come to Portland. This is a wonderful place if you want to relax and just enjoy the beach and the beautiful Oregon coast. We loved the fact that there was no TV or phone to distract us and we could spend our time visiting and reading. What a lovely place! The food was outstanding. Mike was a perfect host and recommended the places we should see and not miss. A great B & B!!!

We loved everything about this bed & breakfast----the room, the amenities, the food, the innkeeper, the quietness. We had a lovely stay.

The owner was friendly and incredibly attentive- prepared the hot tub for us in the back and always there any time we were looking for some information. Breakfast was GREAT (Banana's foster french toast) and my girlfriend appreciated the espresso machine. Not quite as close to the beach as I originally though (like a block and a half) but we arrived pretty late, so I wasn't worried about it. Would return if i needed lodging in the area.

My husband and I rode our bikes downt the coast of Oregon, and stayed here on our way. This was a comfortable and spacious B&B. Our bed was very good quality and the bathroom was huge and had nice amenities. A great choice.

The owner is an excellent host and interesting to talk to. He made a dining recommendation to a nearby restaurant that we enjoyed. The house is beautiful.

The service was wonderful and the breakfast delicious! And Pacific City was a really fun beach town!

Ours was a lovely stay in Pacific City. I particularly appreciated the discount for arriving in a hybrid/alternative fuel vehicle or a bicycle. Breakfast was tasty and generous, and was a espeically enjoyable in the family-style setting of a dining room table where all the guest sat together for one sitting. The beach was delightfully close, but I must warn the intrepid walkers - that dune at the end of the beach is much harder to ascent than it looks! The visual reward once you reach the top, however, is priceless.

A wonderful, relaxing, and eventful stay at the Craftsman B&B. My husband and I stayed for one night in the Prarie Room on the last night of our honeymoon. It was a perfect ending to a wonderful trip. Really enjoyed all the personal touches, such as fresh-baked cookies in the evening, and the beautifuly decorated house. The hot tub was great too! There's so much to do in the surrounding areas, so we were pretty busy, but I would have loved to just stay in our room and read in the comfortable bed or chairs. Thank you and we'll be back!

Our stay at the Craftsmen B & B was very nice. The room was lovely & exceeded my expectations. Mike, our host, was very helpful w/ recommendations. He was knowledgeable of the area & solicitus without being intrusive. I would recommend the B & B to others.

Excellent stay, excellent host. Recommendations on where to eat were outstanding. Will visit again when travelling the Oregon coast.

This is a beautifully and lovingly restored hideaway in an unassuming location, tucked back in an alleyway off the main street in town. It's close to an expansive, pristine beach, with all of the magic that it suggests. The host was very hospitable and helpful, taking time to chat and make us feel welcome.

Mike was a wonderful host. He was warm and attentive, not to mention being a really interesting guy. The room was great and definitely worth the money. The only complaint was that the breakfast was really sweet and not terribly nutritious. For $150 it would have been nice to have more options like fruit and granola. But, overall, a wonderful place would definitely come back to.

Our stay was great. Pacific city was very nice and Craftsman was nicely located to walk to the beach and some restaurants. It was a short drive to others. Excellent room, breakfasts, tips from owners and chatting with other guests.

The Craftsman B & B is a great place to recharge your batteries. It's small beach town location is laid back and relaxed. The Innkeeper knows the community and surroundings well and is more than willing to share his knowledge and opinions. Just follow his suggestions and you'll have a great time. The communal breakfast in the dining room is both delicious and a great forum to share experiences with the other guests.

What a home away from home! Centrally located for everything we did, walking or driving. Hot tub under the stars everynight listening to the ocean, great! Mike our host was at our beckon call with everything we needed.

The Craftsman B&B is in a great location in Pacific City. While not oceanfront, it's close enough that we could hear the ocean and see the huge Haystack Rock from our room. The B&B has charm and extremely comfortable beds! The hot tub was a nice addition to relax and stargaze - and they include towels, robes and slippers. Mike is a great host who gave us helpful recommendations on local restaurants, hikes, viewpoints, etc. so we could use our time wisely. We'll definitely visit again on our next trip to the Oregon coast!

Micheal, the innkeeper, was very helpful during our stay. He recommended a nice restaurant and was helpful with local places to visit and quick tips, such as skipping the downstairs store at Tillamook Cheese Factory to get ice cream upstairs. Nice and relaxing setting.

This was a last minute trip for our 1st visit to Pacific City. A call to Mike at the Craftsman B&B & we had a room! What a very nice surprise when we arrived. B&B was charming w/excellent craftsmanship done by Mike. Our room was perfect w/very comfortable bed & we could hear sounds of the ocean as we fell asleep! Had a delicious breakfast of banana's foster french toast w/sausage (even vegetarian sausage for my wife!) w/homemade muffins. Mike has incredible coffee machine that you can select style/strength of your morning coffee, excellent. We recommend visiting Pacific City & you must stay at the Craftsman B&B to make your trip complete!

This B&B is not only welcoming and comfortable, it is a very managed and great place to stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay. Mike provided a wonderful breakfast and was very knowledgeble in helping us with places to eat and things to do.

I'm so glad we were able to get a room at the Craftsman. Mike is extremely friendly and professional, the house is comfortable and clean and peaceful, and Pacific City is a wonderful jumping-off point for seeing the coast. Mike helped us pick out what to do while we were in town, including directing us to some great hikes and giving us detailed instructions. The breakfasts are shared with other guests and were a nice social time in our otherwise very private stay. I would absolutely recommend it and plan on staying there in the future.

The location was perfect--although not on the beach, it was a short walk (5 min) to the beach where you could walk for miles along the coast. Mike was a great host and has suggestions and perfect recommendations for anything you would like to do. We took him up on his suggestions and it made the trip. He makes amazing breakfast and usually has cookies or brownies laying around if you want a snack. He was never intrusive and seemed to always know when to come out and offer assistance. I will not forget this trip!

My husband and I spent one night at the Craftsman on a "last minute" (booked two weeks in advance) getaway to the coast. The Craftsman certainly met our expectations and I must admit that our expectations were high to begin with based on loads of rave reviews online. We especially appreciated that there were no TV's as we don't have one in our home and wanted some peace and quiet. The home itself is beautifully restored and very tastefully decorated. We enjoyed exploring the details in the seascape mural downstairs and the period decorations upstairs. The food was exceptional and the service was perfect - there when you needed it and out of your hair otherwise. We stayed in the Mackintosh room, which has a wonderfully large bathtub. The room itself is nice enough. I have never been pleased with a bed other than my own, so I will say that this was not the worst. The bathroom and linens were all perfectly clean, but I am a detail person and a neat freak, so I noticed some dust and cobwebs in the corners and window frames - not a problem that would prevent me from coming back - especially at such a great value!

The Craftsman B&B was beautiful. All rooms were well appointed. The detail taken with the remodel and to each and every room made our stay very comfortable. We loved our visit.

Craftsman style and charm abounds, and thanks to an addition (seamlessly attached to the original structure), so does space. We stayed in the Prairie Room and enjoyed the cool Pacific breezes from our walk-out balcony. The owner was personable and gave good advice about where to eat and drink in town, and the breakfast he served in the morning was delicious. We had German apple pancakes, blueberry muffins, fresh fruit, and the best homemade coffee I've ever had (made to order). Another couple was staying there at the same time, but we encountered them only at breakfast; the peacefulness and privacy were great amenities, especially when compared with the relative loudness and "boxed-in" feeling of a standard hotel. Also appreciated were the eco-friendly touches, such as the communal fridge stocked with stainless-steel water bottles (for use during one's stay). I'm not sure if we'll ever be in Pacific City again, but I would stay here, if given the opportunity!

It's pretty easy to tell who is running professional B and B and who is running a part time operation. The Craftsman is a professional operation and the host does a terrific job. I'd stay here again.

The Craftsman B&B is a great place to stay if you're looking for a little more of that Oregon coast experience without all the touristy flair. Mike is an excellent host, and knows everything about the area - where to eat, where to find hidden beaches, and even how to avoid lines at the Tillamook factory up the road! The breakfast was delightful, especially considering the freshness of all the ingredients. Will definitely be back!

If you haven't been in Pacific City before, you missed a thing. This small city with its 5mls of clean wide beaches and dunes is worth a visit. And if you are looking for a place to stay call the Craftman B&B, it's worth any cent you pay. Warm and friendly service, clean and very nice rooms and a fantastic breakfast - just awesome.

Micheal is such a great host and a wonderful cook. He made us feel quite welcome.

Beautiful Arts & Crafts B&B. Our spacious room was light and airy, with a private deck, and a wonderful claw foot tub.

We had a lovely, clean room, comfy bed, informative host, and great bteakfast. I am vegetarian and the host had no problem feeding me :)

As it was the last time, we were entirely pleased with the accommodations, the host, the food, the cleanliness and the ambiance of the Craftsman B&B. This time our stay included renting the whole house for our wedding party. My husband and I were married on McPhillips Beach, just north of Haystack Rock, and none other than Michael Rech~Innkeeper at Craftsman~officiated our nuptials. This B&B was a treasure find for us and will continue to be a regular get-away place for us as well. Suzanne Parks

I recently spent a few nights here with my wife and had a great time. The room was cozy and the service was top notch. I really enjoyed the meals and the homemade cookies were a delicious treat. Innkeeper was always available and very friendly and welcoming. Would love to stay there again.

My husband and I stayed at the Craftsman for our honeymoon. It was the perfect place to cozy in and relax for a few days after all the wedding craziness. The owner Mike was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive to every need and pleasant and friendly without being too overbearing. He even made baked goodies every afternoon! We'd walk into the house to be greeted by cookies on the table and hot coffee any time of day. The breakfasts were exceptional. An attention to detail and taste and health rather than massive portions of subpar food. My husband and I just snuggled in and read books and played cards and didn't once miss the tv. Don't let the lack of a view of the ocean scare you off; It didn't matter one bit. From our little balcony we shared a gorgeous view of Haystack Rock as the sun went down. Definitley a better value than Cape Kiwanda. You're basically paying 100 dollars more there for not much of a view and no breakfast to boot!

Our first stay in a bed and breakfast. We loved the welcoming yet non-intrusive attitude of the innkeeper. The room itself was comfortable, clean and relaxing. The innkeeper offered to fix us an early breakfast when we said we needed an early check-out time. That was so nice and unexpected. The breakfast was to-die-for. So delicious. Would definitely stay there again. If all bed and breakfasts inns are like this one, we would never go back to hotels.

Initially the neighborhood was a bit of a turn off. I guess I'd expected something a bit more rural and scenic. But hey,it's a small oceanside village: I really hadn't a clue what to expect. Don't let that turn you off, for it would be your loss. The Craftsman B &B is walking distance to some nice art gallerys, several nice restaurants and the beach. And Pacific City (city? really?) is a WONDERFUL world apart from the cluttered and touristy coastal strip mall that blossums just a short drive to the south. The house, and in particular the bedrooms were absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Mike, our host was welcoming, available, and responsive without any appearance of intrusiveness or reservation. It was a wonderfully comfortable stay. And the food was outstanding. The ONLY criticism was the beautiful and quaint (but claustraphobic) clawfoot tub and shower in our private bathroom. It was like taking a shower in a poncho. Beyond that small frustration, our visit was wonderful and we heartily recommend this bed & breakfast. It was just so comfortable.

The Craftsman is a terrific little B&B with outstanding service and located a short walking distance to the beach.

Recently, a friend and I took a trip up the Oregon Coast. We stayed one night at the Craftsman in the Stickley room. It is just as beautiful as it is in the picture, and the bed is very comfortable. You can really tell that the owners love what they do. We were able to look through their scrapbook about the renovation of the house, and we really appreciated their commitment to green business practices. We were impressed by the B&B's wine selection and the breakfast was great. Overall it was the best place we stayed on the Oregon Coast! We received great recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area, including which trails are worth trying and which are just mud holes. I'd highly recommend staying here.

I am so glad I chose The Craftsman B&B for my family reunion weekend at Pacific City. Mike was such a gracious host, the breakfasts were delicious with coffee made to order, the bed was comfy and firm so I slept very well and the light ocean breeze coming through the window was about the only noise, except July 4th fireworks going off up and down the beach. I really recommend it!

We made a last minute reservation at the Craftsman after finding it online. This place is a hidden gem. The house is very comfortable and spacious. The bathrooms are huge and bath amenities are generous. There are guidebooks and DVDs that you can borrow. The innkeeper, Mike, is a wealth of informatin and steered us to a dive bar for some of the freshest fish and chips we've ever had. The beach in Pacific City is more impressive than Cannon Beach-way more to see in the tidal pools and the cliffs and monoliths are incredible. We definitely recommend this bed and breakfast!!

It's a great place, especially if you like Craftsman furniture and architecture, as we do. We were a bit miffed when, on our second night, we heard people in the backyard in a hot tub, but the innkeeper hadn't bothered to tell us there was a hot tub! So, be aware there is one...

We spent one night at the Craftsman B&B in June. Mike was waiting for us as we drove up to the house and was helpful during our stay. The house and room were both nice, and Mike told us some interesting things about the building's history and his renovations (He did much of the wood upgrades and built some of the furniture). The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had both a soaking tub and shower. An outside hot tub is available, as are robes to wear to keep you warm to and from the tub. Nice sitting area and lots of reading material in the lobby. The breakfast included coffee made to your individual taste, orange juice, cranberry scones, marionberry jelly, chicken sausages, and banana flambe french toast. The homemade cookies at night was a nice touch. I liked the finishes to the house, Mike's coffee, and the comfortable bed.

My wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary with a week-long trip around Oregon. We are both Arts & Crafts fans, so staying at the Craftsman was a real treat. The room was spacious and comfortable, the host gracious, and breakfast the next morning was fresh and local.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. Mike, is a most excellent cook for breakfast and coffee is a Wow. He had cookies waiting when we arrived and you have to try the wine from, great picks. He is also a wealth of knowledge for advice with local resturants and wineries. We will be back very soon.

The Innkeepers were charming and cordial and our room was thoroughly comfortable. The whole property was delightful. We look forward to staying there again!

We had a wonderful time and Mike was very helpful. He knew the best restaurants around the area and could give great hints on where to go for hiking or walking on the beach. Breakfast was fun and interactive with the other guests, as well as delicious. We left a shirt behind and received in the mail before we were aware it was missing. A great place with lovely rooms and friendly people.

The B and B was wonderful. Mike was a terrific host. Wonderful food and accommodations. Quiet and quaint. Short walk to the beach.

Our stay at the Craftsman simply perfect. The attention to detail in the home is remarkable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the sheets amazing, and breakfast, well I would take another trip to the Craftsman just to eat Mike's Fritata and Marrionberry cake again. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Outstanding!

Mike does a wonderful job of hosting and his breakfasts are AMAZING!!! This was our second stay at The Craftsman and we will be back. We are always recommending it to friends and family.

A lovely visit. Mike has lavished every corner of this house with charm and beauty, from his own woodworking designs to stained glass and furnishings that create a house where the elements echo and enhance each other like a Schubert quartet. A family-style breakfast was a nice way to meet other guests, and the coffee was fabulous. Spacious bathroom and comfortable bed. It was a really relaxing visit; what we needed.

So nice to hear local stories when traveling rather than being sealed off in a sterile hotel room on the 12th floor.

We stayed two wonderful nights at the Craftsman. Our host, Mike, was very attentive and the breakfast was excellent. The overall ambiance was perfect. A great place for a weekend getaway.

The Craftsman B&B is a fine establishment with excellent accommodations and superior food. Michael, the Innkeeper, is an excellent host and a very interesting Dude. The Craftsman is not elegant or oppulent, and neither is the Oregon Coast. But it is clean, well appointed, quiet, well located,and well managed. I will stay there again on my next beach trip. Given all of this it is the best value in a B&B I have ever had. Give Michael a call and reserve a room right now, you will not be sorry.

My hubby and I were super happy with Mike and his B&B! The room was cosy and the soaking tub a nice plus. The bed was so comfortable - there are not many beds comfortable when you are six months pregnant! We love Cape Kiwanda and would stay in the Craftsmen B & B again.

Mike's culinary skills are even better than our last visit. Great quality and fresh food, plenty of it and wonderful service. Even the coffee, made by the cup from a sophisticated coffeemaker that looks like it belongs in a high-end restaurant, is exceptional. Mike is at your beck and call, with suggestions for where to eat and what to do, without being intrusive. My husband and I won't stay anywhere but The Craftsman when we are in Pacific City.

We needed a quiet escape for the weekend, and this couldn't have been more perfect. The quiet location, close to the sea but away from the crowds, is ideal. The owner is welcoming and goes above and beyond in his hospitality and cooking. Highly recommended!

This is probably the best B&B I've ever stayed out. The house and rooms are beautiful and comfortable, Michael (the host) is friendly and accommodating, and the food is excellent. If you're in Pacific City, definitely make a reservation!

A fun place to stay. A beautifully redone craftsman house that sits a few blocks from the shore. The Delicate Palate (across the street) provides awesome meals, and Mike creates a delicious breakfast (with attentive service). The room was immaculate and the bathroom was stylish and spacious. When looking for places to go wine tasting and sight-seeing, Mike was a helpful guide. He pointed us to some off the road wineries that were amazing!! Check out the Craftsman if you are at all considering a stay in Pacific City!

Enjoyed our visit, our 2nd time staying at the Craftsman. Wonderful breakfast each morning and the hosts went out of their way to see that we were taken care of !

we had the rooms macintosh and stickley, wonderful renovated and mike is a very kind person. He prepared a genius breakfast - and for german people the best coffee - because he got a MIELE :-)

The room was nicely furnished, but a bit small. However the size of the bathroom made up for that. Quiet neighborhood, breakfast was good, coffee excellent. Every time you opened a door the innkeeper appeared out of nowhere, almost a bit spooky.

Very nicely restored house. A mural wraps around the Great Room that features the Three Capes Scenic Loop. Wonderful hot tub. Our host, Mike, went out of his way to consider my wife's diet needs: She is gluten free, and he cooked accordingly, even providing gluten free cookies and brownies for evening snacks. We were quite pleased.

The Craftsman was a great old house, perfect location and excellent host. Pacific City is great as well.

We were glad to know this home was built in the 1920's when buildings were built with good timbers. The wind gusted into the 70's, but we were snug and warm. Our host was most gracious with warm cookies waiting for us on our arrival. We got a short walk on the beach in between windy, wet weather.

Very nice place to stay with excellent hosts. Would definitely go back to. Was great listening to the ocean through the windows at night.

My girlfriend and are in our early 30s and don't care much for the doily type B&Bs that feel like you're staying at Grandma's. We like a mix of friendly and down home, yet a B&B that feels more modern. The Craftsman fit the bill perfectly. It still has the feel of a B&B but isn't "over the top." First off the hospitality was excellent. Mike, the owner was available and friendly, making recommendations about where to eat or go and being a great host, yet, he wasn't too intrusive. His customer service was the perfect balance. His breakfasts were VERY good and he had cookies or brownies waiting for the guests every evening. The room we stayed in was very nice, very clean, well made up and maintained very well. Just an all around great experience. We had a great time and we'd stay there again.

Host was nice and knowlegdable about the area and things to do....if you like wine go to twist!!!

We found The Craftsman on the web. As soon as we read about it, and saw the pic's, we knew it would be perfect for a one night stay. Mike was welcoming and very friendly. The room was comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious!

I very highly recommend a stay at the Craftsman. The place is charming, wonderful, and everything we had hoped. We were met with just the right amount of attention - everything we needed and more, but not too overbearing. The room was small but just perfect, with a great tub and all the amenities. We may make this our coastal getaway from now on.

Stayed in the Mackintosh room, nicely decorated, cool bathtub and hex tiles in the bathroom.Yummy breakfast. Fancy pants coffee machine makes fast, great coffee with the perfect amount of crema. One of the few ocean B&B's that is not girly (lace everything, white wicker furniture, cheesy stuffed animals, angel figurines, obnoxious flower wallpaper). Would stay here again if passing through Pacific City.

The sunset from the room was nice. The room and bathrom clean and nicely decorated. We had to leave early and he made us a to go breakfast. I would recommend to friends and family and would definitely stay again!

The service was excellent. The host was always available if we needed him, but respected our space. When we asked, he gave us some great suggestions of things to do in the area and places to eat, as well as providing a map of the area. Breakfast was always a delicious highlight we'd look forward to. The host goes the extra mile to meet the guest's tastes and needs. My husband and I loved the 1920s feel of the house. The decor was very tasteful yet more masculine than the typical B&B. There're some interesting little things to learn about the house. For instance, be sure to ask about the mural in the sitting room. Another highlight of our visit to Pacific city was walking up the huge sand dune on the near-by beach. It was a fun challenge to climb, and the view was beautiful at the top. It would have been nice if we had brought a laptop, since we lacked a TV in our room and it was right in the middle of some interesting football games, but despite having no TV there were usually only pleasant surprises for us at the Craftsman B&B. It got my husband and I to actually sit together, talk, call family and play some of the board games provided while we munched on some snacks. (The treats provided by the host one evening was a pleasant surprise.) I would recommend it to friends and family any day! It was a pleasant and memorable experience. :)

Warm rooms and great bathtubs made our winter retreat at the beach a wonderful experience. This house is comfortable enough to stay for several nights. The innkeeper and service is very well balanced. They could tell when we were in the mood to chat, and when we wanted to be left alone. We will visit the Craftsman BB again.

Craftsman B&B is a spectacular place to stay. Reserved on line and showed up to a gracious and attentive host. The house and rooms are beautiful, clean, quiet, and full of character and charm. The Craftsman (architecture) theme runs throughout every corner of the house and done with the highest quality. Breakfast was grand and delicious - all home made. For a romantic anniversary we could have not have wanted any more. Amazingly Mike even arranged for the torrential rain that we arrived in on Saturday to morph into a beautiful partly cloudy day on Sunday. The beach was glorious to walk on and there were many places to explore. We will/would highly recommend to any and all. Mike is passionate about the B&B and the house - he and his wife remodeled it and did all the work. Thank you Mike for a wonderful time and for sharing you gorgeous house with us!

Welcoming hosts, wonderful accommodations, and a fantastic quiet beach town -- loved absolutely everything about our stay, and we can't wait to "escape" again soon!

While on a quick 9 day explore of Oregon and Washington we spent one wonderful night at The Craftsman. Michael is a wonderful, engaging, affable and interesting host. The house is comfortable and the service excellent. The facilities are great (Michael's handiwork incredible) and the location is truly a place to leave the car and be able to go to everything by foot. Our biggest regret is not having more time. The coast is awesome and the Craftsman is a very worthwhile stop along the way.

A rain storm came through but the inn was warm and cozy. Innkeeper knew how to brew a good cup of tea.

Most lodging in the seaside towns is pretty dismal. Mike's beautifully restored craftsman house along with his friendly personality make this a real treat.

My wife and I had never stayed in a B and B before staying at the Craftsman Bed and Breakfast in Pacific City. We had sucha wonderful time that we found five others to stay in on our two week trip through Oregon and northern California. At Craftsman we had a great room and opened the window and listened to the waves crashing into the shore. Breakfast was great and Mike was very friendly and personable. We would stay here again in a second...and we probably will.

Mike was great, and provided us great guidance in choosing a place for dinner - his recommendations were spot on! The B&B has great character, and the woodwork was quite impressive. Breakfast was great, and the espresso maker really topped off a great stay!

We stayed at the Craftsman B & B for one night and had a great time. The owner, Mike, was very welcoming and super friendly. We wish we could have stayed another night!

My fiance and I stayed at The Craftsman for her birthday and it was perfect. The house was a treat to be in and there are good restaurant options nearby. The house is about a ten minute walk from the beach. We walked along the beach at sunset over to the Pelican Pub for some tasty beers. I would recommend this B&B and will most likely stay again.

We only stayed one night but every detail was outstanding. This stop was our beginning point driving north along the Oregon coast. Host gave us helpful sight seeing tips. We highly recommend The Craftmen B&B and will stay again if we visit same area. Jim & Marcia Brewer (Ohio)

Beautiful house and location. Pacific City is off the beaten path, well worth the trip. Mike is a wonderful host - makes excellent coffee!

When we arrived, Mike, the Innkeeper helped us decide where to have dinner after showing us his collection of the menus from the local places. After an excellent dinner we came back and relaxed in the hot tub! The room was beautiful and bed was very nice. Plenty of room for two :) In the AM he made an excellent breakfast for us and even accomidated our gluten free request to the fullest extent! We enjoyed visiting with the other couples as well. We'll be back the next time we're in Pacific City~

This is an excellent B&B. Beautiful room, beautiful house. The breakfast was super, and there are a number of interesting restaurants nearby. The neighborhood is not too interesting, and neither is Pacific City, but otherwise an fine experience.

Mike and Laura were more than accommodating and provided us with suggestions of where to go and what to do while in Pacific City. The B&B was a lovely place to stay, and the food was exceptional! When I heard that breakfast was included, I was expecting cereal and bagels. We got waffled french toast, stratta, and other delectable food. It was like we were at a gourmet breakfast place. Mike and Laura have done a fantastic job renovating the Craftsman beautifully! I'd definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed our stay in the blue room. Bed very comfortable. Mike the innkeeper was extremely accomodating and answered all our questions regarding the local area. He even gave us wonderful advice on where to hunt for agates. His breakfast was delicious and very filling.

It truly is a Craftsmans place, with lots of artistic work done by the owner himself. Fun to see his personal touches, enjoy the comfortable, spacious room and be only quarter of a mile from the beach. His breakfasts were not only good but pleasingly presented and his 'make your own cup of coffee whenever you want at a strength you prefer' were wonderful. He knew a lot about the coast and gave us good tips about where to go and places to eat. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone who likes the coast, being pampered and appreciates a wood artist to boot!

This is a beautiful place to stay, and great value! The house itself is absolutely gorgeous - the architectural details inside are fantastic, and it is so clean and comfortable. The innkeeper is great - he cooks an impressive breakfast and makes the best coffee ever. I had no idea you could get so much for such a reasonable price. Thank you!

This B & B was very comfortable and friendly. The innkeepers are fun people with excellent hospitality and interesting backgrounds. They have accomplished so much with transforming the house into a historical retreat. The furnishings were true to the period. This was the perfect winter escape along the coast, with a handful of art galleries and good restaurants. I know we will be back enjoy their craftsman home and thoughtful amenities.

My wife and I visited the Craftsman Bed and Breakfast on our honeymoon. It was perfect - it was unseasonably cold and stormy the entire time, so we had a great excuse to stay inside and enjoy the sounds of the wind and rain outside. Our room was quite large ('the prairie room') with a absolutely massive bathroom and claw foot tub. The room also had a small adjoining deck. Our room and the house were very tastefully decorated in a somewhat modern-meets-classic style ('classic and clean') though the house was completely remodeled to match it's 1930's craftsman history - one of the two inn keepers is a woodworker. Overall, the space was very comfortable to be in. Lots of small touches 'made' the trip. Brownies when we showed up, exceptionally good breakfast, constant offers of coffee or espresso, new wineglasses in the room in the morning, even though we had brought wine from the wedding and hadn't purchases a bottle from the inn; a bag of cookies to eat on the road after we left... and genuinely cheerful innkeepers! Oh - a business card with our keys, so if anything happened to us in town, we could call the house, and arrange for a ride home, information on the local area, or possibly bail from jail. The best bit - there isn't a doily in the house. This isn't a B and B for the doily crowd - it will work well for couples looking for a fair-priced, classy, well run getaway spot on the coast. At only two hours from Portland, it's only a stone's throw to most of the Oregon coast area. The owner's commitment to green practices and offsets is admirable as well, but isn't ''in the way of the experience" at all.... there are no posted signs or speeches about recycling, and you don't have to turn the compost pile before you get breakfast... you just know that the owners take a scooter when possible over a car to save fuel... which is nice. Highly recommended.

Bathroom and bedroom both bright and clean. Tub not really bathing size, but there is a hot tub outside. Landscaping next to hot tub could be improved, but not terrible. Hosts were polite, gracious and accommodating. Bed was very soft.

Wonderful place to stay. Never get better service anywhere.

A wonderful B&B that was very refreshing to visit. We had a wonderful time staying here and enjoying a complete breakfast without having to venture outside. We definitely will be returning in the future.

We have stayed at B & Bs for roughly 30 years. We've rarely had as wonderful an experience as we had at the Craftsman. Our hosts welcomed us warmly and we had a wonderful time. The room was comfortable, the food was excellent, the hospitality was unsurpassed. Jean & John L.

This is a wonderful Bed & Breakfast, and I highly recommend it. The innkeeper was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are great, and the breakfasts are big and amazing.

I work for a well known company in Hillsboro, OR. The company is known to be a highly stressful place to work. I was well into a planning period and myself and a co-worker decided that we would need a break after it was done. I got online and started searching for B&B's to stay at. I came across The Craftsman. When we arrived, Mike greeted us at the door and showed us to our room. When I walked into my room, I was amazed. The pictures I had looked at online didn't do it justice. The room was beautiful. I stayed in the Prairie Room and my friend stayed in the Mackintosh. Both rooms were wonderful. My bathroom had a claw foot tub which was amazing. I soaked in it each night (I actually fell asleep in it both nights). We were worried that there wouldn't be much to do because the B&B doesn't have a T.V. Well with Lincoln City only half hours drive away and the beach with in minutes, we had plenty to do. Not to mention staying up until late playing scrabble. The weekend I spent in Pacific City at The Craftsman was most relaxed I have been in a long time. I would recommend this to anyone who asked.

I was burned out from working, and was greeted each day warmly by the owner. The breakfasts were delicious and the owner went out of his way to make every guest feel welcome and at home. I left feeling rested and rejuvenated. I am so glad to know there are such clean, hospitable, and friendly places too stay at in Pacific City.

We needed a nice weekend away, just the 2 of us and had received gift certificate for Christmas last year, so we booked and went. Was relaxing, enjoyed ourselves & the breakfasts where very delicious, hat off to the cook, mmmm!

Spent a delightful weekend at the coast - would definitely recommend this to friends (and have already). Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Thanks Mike.

My husband and I made a return visit to The Craftsman. We are trying to convince ourselves to visit during the winter instead of waiting for next September. There's nothing like experiencing a winter storm on the Oregon Coast and I think The Craftsman would keep us supplied with hot chocolate.

I wish I could have stayed longer at the Craftsman. The host was very attentitive. The house and room were clean, comfortable and impeccably decorated.Breakfast was great too! Loved the little town and it's close proximity to other coastal towns. Can't wait to go back!

Michael and Laura were perfect hosts, with great suggestions for fun things to do in the area and wonderful restaurants to try. Our room was peaceful, clean and very comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious! We would definately recommend staying at the Craftsman B&B can't wait to come back!

The Craftsman was a great find at a reasonable price. We enjoyed some interesting conversations with Mike, our host, and loved his delicious breakfast. Dinner at the Delicate Palate was an excellent recommendation. If only the fog could have lifted, our time on the Oregon coast would have been perfect.

I would definitely recommend the Craftsman B&B. Mike and Laura were very nice, and gave great recommendations for dinner, and activities around the area. The room was clean and cozy. The breakfast was very good as well! Well worth the money!

Excellent service and food...wonderful hints to see local sights...well appointed rooms...suggest the hot tub after walking on the beaches all day then dinner at the Delicate Palate Bistro

The room was tasteful and the bed was so comfy. No frilly doilies or wall paper! The private bath is great, and the service was great. Breakfast was really tasty and the coffee was FABULOUS! My friend and I had a great time. The hot tub is also very nice!

The inn is walking distance to the beach. Mike has lots of info of where to go, what to do and the which places have the best food. We had a great time and plan to stay there again.

Definitely a great find! This is a place to return to in the future!

Great hospitality in a beautifully restored coastal home. Delicious breakfasts with interesting guests.

We've stayed at the Craftsman many times and we plan to return often. Highly recommend the Prarie room, but after last weekend we may choose the Morris room for future stays. The breakfasts are excellent and the coffee is wonderful. Mike & Laura are also outstanding embassadors for Pacific City as well as experts on wine, Craftsman style and a variety of eclectic topics.

We stayed two nights at the Craftsman B&B and the room was very clean and the bed was awesome.Best night sleep I have had in days. The breakfast was served family style which my husband and I both enjoyed. We met the other guests and they were really great to talk too. Mike the innkeeper made the best scones I have ever had. The quality of the breakfast was by far the best . The ocean was a short walk although the sand dune you had to climb gave us a bit of a workout but it was worth it. You can't go wrong staying at the Craftsman B&B.

The Craftsman B&B is beautiful inside and out,and has been expertly reconstucted by the owner Michael. We apprieciated the "green" details and his use of previously used wood etc. as part of his rebuilding of the lovely old building. He's also a great cook, with some of the best coffee we had on our trip to the coast.

Much more than we could ever expect.

Paying careful attention to every detail, the owners' well developed sense of design and aesthetics manifests itself in all aspects of this delightful B & B. Not catering to those who look for antique dolls and doilies, this inn satisfies those who appreciate a beautifully designed stencil or inlay that are true to the Arts and Crafts movement. The owners' knowledge of "everything Arts and Crafts" make for great conversation while enjoying a gourmet meal. A truly unexpected delight!

My wife and I spent a weekend at the Craftsman and had a wonderful time. Mike and Laura are great hosts who provided us with excellent information on local hikes and phenomenal breakfasts. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

This bed and breakfast is a real treat to visit. We had a wonderful room and enjoyed getting to know the innkeeper. Pacific City is beautiful and is a great place for a quiet stroll on the beach. Breakfast was delicious and included the best coffee we've ever had. We hope to visit again!

When deciding on locations for our honeymoon we wanted to stay off the beaten path and decided to stay in Pacific City for a few days. Since it was our honeymoon we decided to have our first bed & breakfast experience. We knew that since we were a young couple that we didn't want the "typical" B&B experience with tons of lace and flowers; therefore Craftsman looked the best to suit our needs (especially my manly man of a husband's). We were both extremely nervous at first but Mike, his wife, and dog all welcomed us and made us feel very, very comfortable. It was a very positive and pleasant experience that neither one of us will forget for life. The entire house is beautiful and well-designed; Mike did an awesome job! We left sorry to end our trip and go back to the real world. Craftsman and Pacific City combined was the ultimate relaxation we needed to end our two week honeymoon; the only sad note was that we didn't get a good sunny day until our last day...but at least we got one and we're happy about that! Oh and, the meals were FREAKIN' AWESOME; MIKE'S AN EXCELLENT COOK!! There was not a single meal or baked good that we didn't like. We will FOR SURE be returning and hope to become regular guests. We're hoping to be able to afford to rent all rooms so that our kids (4 of them) could enjoy the experience with us one day. Thank you Mike for such a wonderful experience. Xaviera & Jeremy We stayed August 2008

We found the Craftsman B&B after weeding thru endless B&B's that looked like Grandma's attic... It's a real gem, with amazing 'suites', beautifully crafted throughout and the most fabulous hosts... especially Oscar! Their breakfast was to die for, and the coffee delicious! Our only regret - is that we booked for a single night... We visited a few years ago - and we still can't wait to go back!!! - Awesome.

This is a great place to stay, the owners are very nice as well as the building and the food. we are looking forward to going back some day. Pacific City is a great place to stay if you don't want stay in a place that is completely filled with tourists. the sportsmans bar (down the street) is also a great place.

We found The Craftsman B&B to be a wonderful escape from the city. Our host, Mike Rech, was attentive as could be and was magically there when we need anything. The rate is a bargain indeed for the care and attention provided. The breakfast was wonderful and lasted us all day - I highly recommend The Craftsman to anyone who desires a CLEAN, thought out, safe and cozy place to stay without an ounce of the 'Tacky' B&B feel.

Our stay was very pleasant. Mike knows a lot about the area. The location wasn't quite what we expected, since it was located right behind a motel and it was a longer walk to get to the beach than we anticipated. Our room was nice, but on the small side. It was clean and simple and Mike has done a great job with all the wood. We liked the bananas foster french toast. All in all a nice stay.

The rooms, facilities and food were perfect. It's a great home base for exploring Oregon's north coast.

I enjoyed my stay here. The house and room were immaculate, which is important to me. The room was spacious and comfortable, and I loved the stand-alone tub. Mike and Laura, the owners, went out of their way to ensure that my stay was comfortable, and were very honest and helpful with recommendations about where to eat. I would recommend the Bistro across the street, it was very good and had an excellent wine list. Mike & Laura offer wine packages for your stay which I thought was kind of neat. Oscar the dog is on the premises, but he was well behaved and real cutie.

Michael is very accomodating, working hard to see that your needs are met. Yes the coffee is as good as everyone says. The beds are firm and comfortable. This has been a problem for us in the past since my husband has a bad back and sometimes has taken to sleeping on the floor when beds are too soft.

Mike and Laura are wonderful hosts and have done a beautiful job creating a simple elegance and special feel to each room. They have a wonderful setting and we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet setting, the long walks on the beach and good restaurant recommendations. The only thing that we would change was the water did not not seem to get really hot.

I'm late with my review and, to be fair, I didn't eat because I wasn't hungry, so I had to punt on the dining portion of the rating. If you stay nowhere else on the Oregon Coast, stay here. I picked it because it didn't have any lace doilies but the hospitality is outstanding and so is the facility. Mike, Laura and Oscar deserve all the kudos they're getting in these reviews.

Our stay at Craftsman Bed & Breakfast was a most pleasant one. The room and private bath were simply, but beautifully done. The breakfasts were unique and excellent. Our host was welcoming, helpful, and amount and quality of our interaction with him was just right.

I did a random search online and was very lucky to find a good one. The room had a down comforter and great decor. Everything was very clean and well maintained.

Friendly, knowledgeable host (he and his wife have tried all the restaurants in the area and can give good advice on them. We were completely at easd and relaxed. Oscar Mayer, the weimaraner (sp?) is a delightful addition. We have nothing but praise!

My wife and I came to the Craftsman B&B for a night of well deserved R&R and also to celebrate her birthday. We chose the Craftsman due to its location on the coast in a less frequently traveled town on the Oregon coast. The service and the room at the craftsman were outstanding. We enjoyed meeting the owners and their dog, Oscar. The room was lively and large. My wife enjoyed reading a book while she sat in the tub. We also enjoyed some time in their jacuzzi. The breakfast was hearty and adequate. We very much enjoyed our time there and wish we could have stayed longer.

The house is very well done. The location is very convenient and wonderful for those new to the Oregon Coast. The family that runs the B&B are the perfect hosts and we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with the other guests, even though we were a little shy at first. Definitely a solid choice. We were very, very satisfied.
