“A gentleman by the name of Heath, self proclaimed grounds keeper, did everything to go above and beyond to make my family comfortable.”
From the reviews
If I’m being honest I have yet to stay, but we have booked out the place for our small wedding next year. The initial process speaking with Charlee was so easy. She’s been so great to work with and wonderful in answering my questions.
The thing that really made this place outstanding was the customer service and staff. A gentleman by the name of Heath, self proclaimed grounds keeper, did everything to go above and beyond to make my family comfortable. We got into town when it was pouring rain and he assisted us to our cottage.
My wife and I had a romantic time at cabin # 1. I could live in that sweet cabin with my bride for all of time. The fireplace, the corner Shower with the exceptionally hot water, the loft bedroom, the cozy livingroom. The perfect kitchen. We rode the provided bikes on the Beach and to dinner. Thank you.
Absolutely loved our stay at the Drifthaven!!! The rooms are super spacious and cozy with walking distance to the beach and the little town. Super clean and quiet, the Drifthaven has everything you need for a perfect gateway! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Getting married at The Drifthaven at Gearhart
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
