We've been going to the northern Oregon coast for years...I wish we had discovered this area and Baker Bay Retreat years ago. What a beautiful part of the world. We stayed in the Audubon Cottage and felt like the bay belonged to us. Highly recommend!

A beautiful and unique place in every way. My husband and I loved our stay in the Audubon cottage. We stayed here with our family several years ago and the updates were much needed. We can't wait to see when the whole property is done - we'll come back for a family reunion. My only comment about the area is that you have to plan ahead for food & dining. Many of the restaurants were closed during the week.

What a hidden gem! I almost don't want to tell anyone else about it. We had mixed weather but watching a storm while relaxing indoors was just as perfect as walks in Cape Disappointment and Lewis & Clark when the weather was better. Ledbetter point and Oysterville are worth the drive. We also visited the Cranberry Museum and the Columbia Heritage Museum which were both great! The Port of Ilwaco had a Saturday market which was pretty small but worth it !
We will definitely be back!

I am so glad I brought my camera! The views and the birds were absolutely amazing. I didn't want to leave the property the whole time. Even the soaking tub on the front porch, which I thought was weird, turned out to be amazing. My wife and I will be back every year.

The Audubon Cottage at The China Beach Retreat provides that perfect, relaxing get away. It is quiet, charming, and nestled in nature. From your balcony you can watch fishing boats heading out to sea in the morning, and see them return in the evening. You can watch the birds, and other small critters playing in and the bay—even watch small deer as they help themselves to apples from the trees. Lovely, restful, rejuvenating.

I love this place! Everything you need. Great location for the beach, parks, restaurants, Astoria. We grilled out and sat on the deck one night, soaked in the outdoor tub, lounged in the comfy bed and robes. The upstairs bathroom with heated floors is amazing. We'll be back!

Baker Bay Retreat! What a discovery! My partner and I generally go somewhere on the Oregon coast buy we mixed it up and we landed at Baker Bay. The Audubon cottage was cozy, clean and comfortable. One could sit and get lost in the view from the second floor balcony and bedroom! A complete gem we will definitely recommend to friends.

When I booked this room, I had no idea it would feel like such a magical place. The room had a great view out onto the marsh which was filled with birds and even deer grazing on the grasses. It was quiet and serene, watching the fishing boats come in was really neat. The outdoor soaking tub was such a treat and the accommodations overall were beyond expectation. It was comfortable, clean and relaxing. One of the best places I've stayed anywhere.

My husband and I enjoyed three nights in the Audubon Cottage and found our time to be both rejuvenating and fun! Make sure to hike the many trails around and spend your afternoons sampling local beers & cuisines!
