The Tillamook House: Ready for your next adventure

Welcome to The Tillamook House! We're a family of eight, and this is our home away from home. Come stay as a friend! Spend your days exploring beaches, hiking coastal trails, fishing, or crabbing. Visit the famous Tillamook Creamery just up the road, then come home to cook your catch, play games, or relax with a movie. Whether you're here for a family getaway, a coastal adventure, or working away from home, we've made this a comfortable place to land. We hope you'll love it as much as we do! The space WELCOME TO THE TILLAMOOK HOUSE! Built in 1920 and completely remodeled in 2021, just after its 100th birthday, The Tillamook House combines a little coastal history with all the comforts of a modern getaway. Whether you're exploring the Oregon Coast, spending your days fishing and crabbing, working in the area, or simply enjoying time together with family and friends, we hope you'll feel right at home. We're a family of eight who loves sharing the coast with others, and we've tried to fill this home with all the little things that make traveling easier, whether you're here for a weekend or a longer stay. ROOM FOR THE WHOLE CREW Our home accommodates up to 10 guests, depending on how cozy you're comfortable getting! We want you to know exactly what to expect so you can choose the sleeping arrangements that work best for your group. Upstairs bunk room: This spacious room is a favorite with kids! It has two full-size bottom bunks and two twin-size top bunks, sleeping up to six people if two share each bottom bed. The bunks are pushed together, creating a sleeping area approximately 10 feet wide, so everyone will be in close quarters. There's also a Smart TV, toys, and room to hang out. A baby gate is available for the doorway. Downstairs bedroom: A comfortable queen-size memory foam bed, Smart TV, and private attached bathroom with a walk-in shower and double sinks. Upstairs bedroom: A queen-size Beautyrest Black bed, Smart TV, and a small four-person table for games, crafts, or work. Reading nook: A cozy spot with a CordaRoy's bean bag that unfolds into a full-size floor mattress, offering extra flexibility for sleeping arrangements. The Harry Potter room: A tiny bonus sleeping space with a twin bed! We don't count this as an official bedroom because the door doesn't fully open and the space is small. It's a fun option for a child, teen, or smaller adult, but probably not the most comfortable choice for a larger adult. Our maximum occupancy is 10 guests, including anyone using the additional sleeping spaces. GAMES, BOOKS & FAMILY FUN Rainy days at the coast can be some of the best days! We have plenty of board games, puzzles, toys, and books for both kids and adults. You're welcome to enjoy them all. There's also a ping pong table in the garage for a little friendly competition. It folds up against the wall if you'd rather have the extra space. If you notice a game or puzzle is missing a piece, just set it aside and let us know so we can replace it. BRING YOUR BOAT & ENJOY THE COAST! We love welcoming guests who come to fish, crab, clam, and explore the beautiful Tillamook area. We provide crab pots, clam rakes, and a large stockpot for cooking up your catch. Bringing a boat? We're boat-friendly and can accommodate most small to medium-sized boats, with fresh water available for rinsing everything down after a day on the water. Please message us if you have questions about parking or your boat's size. We also have a friend nearby who offers boat and crab pot rentals, including bringing the boat to the water ready to go. We're happy to share his contact information if you're interested! WORKING AWAY FROM HOME? YOU'RE WELCOME HERE! We love hosting traveling professionals, contractors, and work crews! Whether you're in Tillamook for a short project or an extended assignment, our home is a comfortable place to land after a long workday. With three bedrooms, flexible sleeping arrangements, two bathrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of space to unwind, it's easy to settle in and make yourself comfortable. We've welcomed many wonderful crews over the years and are always happy to host more. If you're planning a longer stay or have questions about accommodations for your team, please reach out! A WELL-STOCKED HOME We want you to spend less time worrying about what you packed and more time enjoying your stay. Kitchen: Our kitchen is stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and everyday essentials. We also try to keep pantry basics and snacks available for guests. Feel free to check what's here before grocery shopping, and let us know if you use the last of something! Safeway is about two minutes away, and Fred Meyer is about five minutes away for groceries and other essentials. Bathrooms: Both bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hair dryers. There's also a curling iron in the downstairs bathroom. The upstairs bathroom has a bathtub, which is especially convenient for families with little ones. Entertainment: Smart TVs with access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Disney+. Outdoor space: We have a large yard with room to enjoy some fresh coastal air. Please note that it is not fenced. A NOTE ABOUT AIR CONDITIONING Our home does not have air conditioning. As a century-old house, it wasn't built with ductwork for central air, but we provide plenty of large fans. We stay here throughout the summer and find the coastal temperatures comfortable, although everyone's preferences are different. We want you to know what to expect before booking! FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS The Tillamook House is a special place to our family, and sharing it with others is one of our favorite things about owning it. We love knowing that families are gathering here, kids are making themselves comfortable in the bunk room, friends are heading out for a day of fishing, and hardworking guests have a welcoming place to return to after a long shift. We've tried to think of the little things that make a stay easier, so you can spend more time enjoying yourselves and less time worrying about what you might have forgotten. Have questions while planning your stay? Please reach out! We're always happy to help, whether you're bringing a boat, arranging accommodations for your crew, or wondering about the sleeping arrangements. Make yourself comfortable, enjoy the adventure, and come back anytime! Guest access The entire house, yard, and garage. Other things to note Nearby places to check out: Netarts Bay      Clamming is excellent there. We have rakes and clam guns in the garage if you'd like to try! Cape Lookout      The sandy beach has a large parking lot and is incredibly beautiful. It's not usually busy. The Cape Lookout hike is out-of-this-world gorgeous but can be very muddy and there is a steep cliff on one side. The trail is wide enough to not be super scary but be aware if you have children with you. Look up the trailhead for directions, it's not on the beach. Cape Meares (20 minutes)      Don't miss the Octopus Tree! It's up past the bathrooms on the trail. Oceanside      On the beach in Oceanside you can park in the parking lot and walk down to the beach, if you walk towards the big cliff wall you will see a tunnel. That is the "Oceanside tunnel" and takes you to another very secluded beach. You'll want a flashlight for the tunnel most of the time, the one on your cell phone should suffice. Insider tip: Make sure you visit Short Beach. The parking is very limited and on the road but it's worth it. Agate hunting is excellent and the beach is so beautiful. Extra insider tip: at very low (negative) tide you can get to Lost Boy beach. Google it! Tillamook Cheese Factory       The ice cream is really good! Make sure to try the Squeaky Cheese! They have ice cream "flights" so you can try multiple flavors. Munson Creek Falls      Very pretty waterfall, about 1/4 mile walk from the parking lot, easy with kids. Rockaway Beach (25 minutes)      Bring peanuts for the squirrels who live in the rocks by the pirate ship playground.  They love visitors with snacks! The downtown area is super fun to wander. Kilchis Point Reserve is a fun walking path with informative signs leading to Tillamook Bay. Fun walk. Sunset Beach is about an hour away but it's a beautiful drive and you can drive out on the sand. Safeway is half a mile away Fred Meyer is a mile and a half Best clam chowder is at the Old Oregon Smokehouse across from the cheese factory.
