Which ';whale'; B&B would you recommend?

We%26#39;re going to be spending a couple of nights in Depoe Bay in mid July as part of a longer trip up the coast from Cali to PDX and have had two inns suggested to us. One is Whales Rendezvous, which is ranked #1 for Depoe here on TA. The others is newer, Whales Cove Inn and is owned by the same people who own Channel House. Can people in the know comment on these two inns? Would you recommend one over the other? Any and all info most appreciated. Thank you!

Which ';whale'; B%26amp;B would you recommend?

Given that I have not stayed in either one, I think there is one big difference and that is the location.

Whale Cove Inn is about 1-2 miles south of Depoe Bay, sitting on the edge of Little Whale Cove. In other words, it is not located actually at Depoe Bay itself.

I%26#39;m not familiar with Whales Rendevous, but from the photos, I can tell it is located within Depoe Bay.

If you like to stroll around outside your lodging and walk around town, then the Rendevous would be more desirable.

You%26#39;ll probably want to eat at Tidal Raves restaurant - do book *well* ahead in July!

Hi airedale!

Was Channel House booked?? I%26#39;ve stayed there twice now, cheaper than both inns you mentioned, and absolutely delightful. Right on the ocean and several of the rooms/suites are right on the channel so it%26#39;s fun to watch the boats coming in and out of the harbor beside watching for whales. Plus, the breakfast can%26#39;t be beat plus definitely within walking distance of everything in Depoe Bay. Whereever you end up, I wish you a terrific time on our Oregon Coast!!!

Regards,

I%26#39;m not at all familiar with Whales Rendezvous, and haven%26#39;t stayed at Whale Cove Inn, but my wife and I did stop by for a look-see earlier this year. From what we saw, the building%26#39;s front facade is the only thing about Whale Cove that%26#39;s not appealing. The interior is furnished in contemporary luxury, and rooms all look out over a beautifully maintained lawn to the cove below. By appearance, I%26#39;d rate it with the best of other Oregon coast lodgings: Stephanie Inn, Tu Tu Lodge.... Target market appears to be couples celebrating special occasions, and/or others seeking the private, quiet intimacy that seems to pervade the space. It%26#39;s on our list!!

Ummm... that should be Tu Tu Tun Lodge...

Whale Cove is nearly new, I believe. It%26#39;s an *upscale* lodging, and is on our list to try.

Earlier question regarding Channel House being booked needs your consideration.

If it%26#39;s available, I%26#39;d look closely at it. We stayed there a bunch of years ago, and it was VERY good. I don%26#39;t have any reason to believe differently today.

We stayed in ';Suite Salt Air';, and I%26#39;d LOVE to stay in that suite again.

Good luck!
