Oregon's Inspected and Approved Bed and Breakfasts

All B&Bs are not alike. That's one of the great things about B&B, but it's also what makes choosing just the right one for each traveler a challenge. When making your decision on where to book, we suggest that you choose a member of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild which has been inspected and approved and follows the Guild's Standards and Ethics.

Did you know that in the State of Oregon a bed and breakfast with 2 or less rooms are not required to meet any state or county standards?! There is no inspection by county health departments, no food handlers training or permit is required and no entity checks to see if there is even any commercial liability insurance to protect you if you are injured on their property. If they have their own private water system, no county or state agency is checking to see if the water supply is safe.

You never have to worry about any of that when choosing a B&B that is a member of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild! The member inns of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild (OBBG) have all been inspected and approved by OBBG and even it's small 1 or 2 bedroom B&B members meet state standards and more importantly, OBBG standards which are even higher than the state in many cases!

Here at Sandlake Country Inn we have been proud members of OBBG for more than 15 years and are also licensed and inspected by not only OBBG, but also our county health department twice a year with surprise inspections. Sandlake Country Inn has also been certified "Green" by the OBBG Green Inspected Program.

When making your choice of where to stay, choosing a B&B is a great choice, and choosing an Inspected and Approved Oregon Bed and Breakfast is is not only a great choice, but you can rest assured that you'll be healthy and safe too!

Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge

What a great time of year to explore south Tillamook County and the Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge. All year long, wildlife abound in our area, but fall and spring are especially wonderful for birders to view the migrations of an abundance of species.

Once again, Grant McOmie along with Travel Oregon has produced a beautiful and informative video of our unique area. Grant's Getaway features the Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge and Little Nestucca River using  Kayak Tillamook which has guided tours for all levels of ability. Never been in a kayak? No worries, Kayak Tillamook will teach you everything you need to know and provide all the equipment.



Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge can also be reached by car. It's located just south of Pacific City off #101 on Christenson Rd. To really appreciate the beauty of the area around Sandlake Country Inn, you need to be able to take your time, get out of your car and get a little physical. After your outing, you can come back to your comfortable room, sooth your tired muscles in your room's jacuzzi tub and maybe even have your dinner delivered to your room.

We look forward to helping you with your adventure!

A Private Oregon Coast Getaway

Mike & Sydney and Agar & Diego

Here at Sandlake Country Inn, we're a little different than most B&Bs. What we've tried to do is to provide a very private romantic getaway experience. Not only do we deliver your beverages and breakfast to your door, but all our rooms are very separate and private from each other. Very often, we hear comments from guests that they never saw or heard any other guest during their stay! Here's a great example of one of those occasions:

A couple weekends ago, our long time guests Mike & Sydney were here for a weekend getaway. This wonderful couple have been staying at Sandlake Country Inn for more than a decade!  Their favorite room is the upstairs Starlight Suite.

 
 Our next couple is Diego and Agar. This was their first stay with us, but they assure us it won't be their last! Last year, Agar's sister surprised them with a Sandlake Country Inn Gift Certificate and they finally had a chance in their busy schedule to use it for a quiet getaway before the holidays.

So, now it was time for check-out and out in the parking lot while loading up the car to go home, I hear shouts of surprise and joy! Turns out these two couples not only knew each other, but Agar taught both of Mike & Sydney's now adult children, and these two couples had become friends over the years. None of them had seen or heard each other during their entire weekend stay! Now that's private!!

Thanks to these two couples, I walked around all day with a silly grin on my face. Priceless!
