A Castle on Oregon's Coast
Oregon's shoreline has lots of secrets: veiled pleasures and surprises, private, deserted beaches and surprise gems peppering the towns in the form of accommodations or eateries.
Perhaps the most sensational trick on all of Oregon's coast lies simply outside of the art and culture mecca of Cannon Beach, on the north coast. There's a castle a bit south of town, concealed behind the walls of trees just north of the Arch Cape Tunnel. You can end up being king and queen here, at this insanely romantic area that smacks of something in between the Bavarian castle that inspired Disneyland's signature structure and the Oregon ski lodge featured in "The Shining."
St. Bernard's Bed & Breakfast is a remarkable and classy building and construction peppered with creative information, containing seven striking guestrooms filled with antiques, gorgeous home furnishings and a sense of the Victorian fused with modern grace.
On one particular night in April, I reach St. Bernard's near 8:30 p.m., and it's pitch black. I've been here prior to a few times and seen littles it, but for the first time I park in back, identifying the captivating strings of lights in the garden and on the walls, in addition to the 2 deer figures made from light bulbs. I stop to look and gawk at these, and at the archway going through the structure, half anticipating to see a member of some royal household show up in a carriage and be ushered out by some servant.
Inside the enormous front door, owner Barbara Dau welcomes me in and up the snaking, stone stairs into the living-room. Here, chandeliers and sophisticated furniture populate the location, with an awesome little rounded nook in one corner - clearly part of the "tower." In the early nights, Barbara hosts "social hours" for the visitors here, including wine and camaraderie in front of the fireplace.
It's a no-pressure occasion, and with extraordinary beaches simply a block away - who can blame them? In front of it sits a gorgeous stretch of beach that runs for miles to the north, while instantly to the south hovers a craggy basalt cliff, where access to a wild and weird rocky cove is occasionally granted by low tides.
The spaces at St. Bernard's Bed & Breakfast are jaw dropping - at the very least. The "Ginger" ($179) includes blue and white fabrics, asian ginger containers and a love seat, with an economy size bed from Austria. 검색 엔진 최적화 In "Gaugin" ($169) there's a comfortable window seat, a cool bath tub, muted pastels of a queen and the artist size bed. The stunning "Heather" ($189) is on the top floor and includes a private deck, vaulted ceilings and a sitting location with a love seat. The "Parisian" ($149) features calming, hand painted flower wallpaper, a window seat, a wingback chair, and has a Victorian vibe. The gorgeous "Tower" remains in the tower and it's substantial ($209), with a sitting location, large soaking tub, various antiques, and it's draped in dreamy white lace. The "Provence" ($209) is on the garden level and is sequestered away from the rest of this little palace, with terra cotta floorings, Jacuzzi and French doors opening into a personal patio area.
My room was the "Tapestry" ($209), with an amazing economy size bed, engaging tapestries on the wall and floor, a huge French armoire, and huge soaking tub that yells honeymoon hangout. There's a curious little reading nook with a stained glass ceiling, and the television comes encased in an adorable reproduction of a castle.
In the evening, the ocean was the only sound you heard: cozy and relaxing beyond belief.
In the morning, I see the window (ironically) looks straight out to a view of Castle Rock - simply offshore from Arch Cape.
Morning also suggests a luscious, gourmet, home prepared meal prepared by Dau herself. Dau was a chemist in her previous life in Chicago, and joked that meal making should be an extension of that part of chemists that like to prepare things. (Given this castle ambiance, I laugh to myself and envision her in a lab coat, cackling maniacally as she works up a dish while lighting thunders all around).
Visitors sit together in the stunning atrium-like dining-room, where they get and chat to understand each other. 구글 키워드 광고 I sat with a young couple from Portland and another older couple from Michigan who have been regulars given that the location began in 1995. In truth, they were among the first visitors in its first 2 weeks.
These many, remarkable facilities, St. Bernard's deals present certificates. Dau also uses wedding plans that accommodate up to 60 people and her signature, fascinating cooking.
Other tempting aspects of this location consist of more secret beaches simply to the south and north. Its most intriguing landmark is a portion of road blasted out of a basalt promontory - a remnant of when the beaches were the only real highway the seaside area had, back around 1910.
