    We like this quaint little place with awesome hosts!

    Quaint with a small lodge room feel to it, the views are fantastic! All of old town Bandon is within walking distance.

I was surprised by how much i loved it, because to look at the thumbnail on Booking.com, it didn't look too attractive, and at first, i skipped past it. Bandon isn't a big place though, an the price was right for The Bandon Inn, so i booked a room. Obviously being on the coast, it has a strong coastal theme in the lobby, which is very cosily appointed, and welcoming. The check in was smooth, and the lady very helpful. The one thing i was not such a fan of was the continental breakfast (i never like any of the options, yogurt, pastries, fruit, cereal, hard-boiled egg - no thank you) And not only didn't i like anything available in this continental breakfast, we were handed a sheet of paper, and asked to say what time we would be coming to breakfast, AND pre-order which items you'd like. For a start, I'm on vacation, so I'm not setting any alarms, and as i said, I'm not into that sort of thing, so i asked her where I could get PROPER breakfast, and she gave multiple options that were available. She was very helpful. We were directed to our room, which was in an outside long building, and you went down some concrete steps, and into the room. I was instantly charmed by the room. We had a balcony!!! With a panoramic coastal view. This is because the long buildings are set above the town, on coastal bluffs. Beautiful. And 2 armchairs and a side table next to the balcony window so you could look out over the town below, and the sweeping coastline. A really nice room, and an affordable price. The temperature of the room was cool and perfect (highly important to me, as i get too hot very easily) I didn't need to put the air conditioning on, as it was already exactly cool enough for me. There's a pathway down to the town below if you don't want to drive there, but we didn't notice it until after we came back from breakfast. It's a very clean hotel. Excellent views, and if you like continental breakfast, you'd give this 5 stars. As it is, it's my 2nd favourite of the 5 hotels, and I would have no hesitation in returning, as I was absolutely charmed by the town of Bandon

I called in around 9am to make a reservation and Wendi (the Owner) gladly took us same day for a 12:30pm slot. I told her my boyfriend has some food restrictions like he doesn't like mayo so she was able to make some sandwiches without it. She asked if we want the Princess tea ($35 per head) or the Queen tea ($40 per head) so we chose the Princess set. An hour later we arrived to the The Painted Lady Tea house! Mostly street parking but it's not busy so it was easy to park in front the house. The house entrance had two doors but for some reason the first door you see is locked so you enter the right door side as their entrance. The ambiance of the place was super pretty like each section of the house had different themes. Wendi greeted us and said we can sit anywhere in the house. There was two other groups that was dining and noticed they were wearing cool hats so my boyfriend chose to wear a Jester hat and I chose to wear a frilly flower hat. I saw one group eating the Queen tea set so I asked Wendi if we can change our meal plan to that instead and she was able to make the last minute change. We chose to sit in the green room because it was very earthy, decorated with plants, and had small water fountains. Here is what's inside the modified Queen tea set meal: Appetizer -2x Ginger scone -2x Lemon scone -English Tea -Side of sugar cubes -Side of creamer Entree -Croissant sandwich (Ham, cheese, tomato, leafy greens, mustard, mayo) -Egg sandwich -Curry chicken salad sandwich -6x cucumber cream cheese sandwiches *no mayo* -2x crusted egg quiche -Green grapes -Chocolate dipped tangerines -2x Chocolate crunchy dipped strawberries -2x Chocolate drizzled strawberries Dessert -2x Strawberry ice cream cake -2x Oreo cheesecake My boyfriend got a whole Croissant sandwich since the other sandwiches contained mayo. He ended up not liking it because he didn't know there was mustard in it so he just wiped it off and didn't want to ask for a new one. Most tea places I've been don't usually add mustard into their sandwiches so maybe next time I should've said no sauces or all sauces on the side. Their website menu didn't have any details of the sandwiches, it was very vague. I'm kind of sad he wasn't able to enjoy the other sandwiches with me so I wish there was more no sauce sandwich options or self serve sauces in the future but that's what I get for dating a picky boyfriend lol. I really enjoyed everything and loved the decor of the house! But I felt like the menu had too many sweets. I would be fine with just the scones, dipped strawberries, grapes, and oreo cheesecake but the extra dipped tangerine and strawberry ice cream cake were too much. Maybe I suggest make the strawberry ice cream cake and oreo cheesecake to be bite sized. It would be nice if there was a good ratio of savory like maybe add chips, soup, cheese cubes, or other charcuterie board savory snacks. I still recommend this place! Great place to bring your family and friends to enjoy for a fancy stop over from a long days road trip :)

This…read morecharming bed and breakfast and spa is absolutely breathtaking, with some of the most beautiful and impeccably maintained gardens I've ever experienced. My family and I have attended several of their tea and brunch events, and every single visit has been exceptional. The service is top-tier--thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Kim and Wess, the wonderful couple who run Endincott Gardens, pour so much care and love into everything they do. Every dish is handmade and absolutely delicious--easily some of the best food in the county. Beyond the incredible food and setting, the atmosphere is calm, relaxing, and truly restorative. You can feel how much they value their guests and the experience they create. As a local resident, I'm especially grateful that Kim and Wess open their space to the community for events and spa services, even for those of us who aren't staying at the B&B. That generosity makes them true treasures to Gold Beach. We are already looking forward to our next visit--and are eagerly hoping their future dinner offerings become a reality! Endincott Gardens is a gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

See my other review for details. Dining is about 25-30 minutes away by car.

For anyone looking for a romantic getaway, an opportunity to connect with nature (or reconnect with your loved one) this is it! Wi-do clocked in with a good speed if needed, but no TV on site to distract from the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend staying here if you roll through this area.

    The best word to describe this place is.... Whimsical. If you are looking for "unique" this is the…read moreright place for you. It starts at arrival where you park, grab a key, and use a cart to take your belongings on a short walk into the woods. The cabins are close proximity to each other but are situated in a way that allows privacy. The guest cabins are thoughtfully decorated and equipped with plenty of extra like a wine opener, a lighter for candles, plush bath robes. The romantic ambiance is easily set if that is your goal. Another short walk up a trail leads to the Guest Hall which is a comfy setting with an amazing view of the ocean. Here you will find a full kitchen at your disposal complete with cookware, spices, and some common items in the fridge. Share a meal in the spacious setting or out on the deck. When you head back to your cabin don't forget to check out the extensive DVD collection. We found everything from classics like "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" to popular Rom-Com and new releases. We borrowed several 80's classics that we hadn't seen in forever! The DVD collection can be found in the bathroom, which might sound weird but you will see when you get here that there is no space wasted in this thoughtful eco-friendly lodge. While in the bathroom be sure to check out the sink. Another detail of imaginative whimsy that depicts the creativity of the owner. Oh, do not forget to flip through a table book that recounts the history of WildSpring. It is a story filled with romance, dreams, and heartache that includes pictures of life realized. And, I cannot forget the attraction of the spa and gazebo! Set amidst the trees and driftwood sits an open air hot tub overlooking the tree line and ocean. The truly amazing thing is that it requires an appointment, meaning it's not overcrowded, you get the luxury of enjoying the relaxing experience sans strangers. It's a simple text to the host to check for availability for an hour soak. Other amenities are EV charging, radiant heated floors, roomy shower, a decent continental breakfast spread, and priceless peace and quiet amidst the old growth forest. The whimsy of the place comes with the decor spread through the walking paths. Hidden among ferns are sculptures, a walking labyrinth, meditation alcoves, creations of all sorts. Everywhere you look is a whimsical touch that makes you feel the great pride and artistic talents of the owner. It's awe inspiring if you take the time to appreciate it. One thing to note: not a great place to get work done, although I'm not sure why anyone would want to. There is wifi, but we found that most of the time it wasn't enough service to even send a text message. But, we were cool with that! This is a place to enjoy being unplugged. We have stayed here twice. In the same cabin, by chance, and have loved it. This last time, in October, we had the place to ourselves in the middle of a classic coastal storm. The wind howled at the Guest Hall and we stood and howled with it. We also got the privilege of thunder and lightning that rolled off the cliffs and gave a haunting view of the forest and sea. Truly magnificent!

It was decorated with cute whimsical items throughout the room, including little bowls and plates with agates (that I suspect were found locally from Agate Beach?). I had to tuck some of the breakables safely away so our golden retriever's wagging tail wouldn't knock anything over! I would recommend this place as a retreat if you are looking to get away from it all. Bring a book, lie in the hammock, walk through the forested short walking trails on the property and enjoy the little sculptures and other whimsical art throughout the grounds, reserve a time to soak in the hot tub and look out at the ocean and listen to the sound of the waves. At night sit out on the deck near the hot tub and look up at the night sky- so many stars, you can see the Milky Way! As I was walking to breakfast in the morning, I was surprised to see a buck just 50 feet away from me! He looked at me and I looked at him and then he sauntered away. That was cool. We paid the extra fees so that our 2 adult teen daughters could join us, so we had 2 extra pull out twin sofas for them to sleep on. They were pretty comfy for pullout sofas! But I will comment so others know- 4 people and a golden retriever is pretty darn squishy for one cabin! It also gets expensive with the extra fees for 2 extra people and a dog! Having said that, my young adult children loved this place so it was worth the squishing. They loved that they could hang out in the guest habitat (is that the right name for it?), which was the main room where breakfast is served. They have games and chess and checkers and relaxing music playing. It's secluded and quiet and I don't think they ran into any other guests while they were there. Breakfast was a very simple offering of bread (choice of bagels, croissant, or English muffin), jam, peanut butter or Nutella, hard boiled egg, instant oatmeal packages, yogurts, juices, tea, coffee, and cereal, and some basic fruit (apples, oranges, bananas). Snacks were just microwaveable popcorn and some Hershey Kisses and little mints. I appreciated their to-go bag every morning that had protein bars, a granola bar, mandarin oranges, some chocolate, and babybel cheese. If I had to offer any suggestions, I would have loved a little more variety with the breakfast and snacks (uh-for the price that we paid . . .). Maybe some fresh muffins and pastries, and a fresh fruit salad for breakfast, maybe some fresh baked cookies for snack? I just kept looking around their nice, super organized kitchen area thinking that there must be something else to nosh on! Got a cup of tea instead. And just to share an alternate perspective, my husband felt that there was not much to do here, breakfast was too basic, and Port Orford was too quiet. He also had read all of the dog rules and felt very constrained by them and was afraid to let our dog go anywhere or do anything for fear of losing the $200 security deposit. He was super careful and we got our deposit back, but I took a star away because of the way my husband felt about the place. (Bring your girlfriends and leave the husband and dog at home?)
