The resort’s 243 guest rooms and suites — many with private balconies and fireplaces — offer sweeping views of the Pacific and easy access to the beach. Guests can unwind at the indoor pool and spa, play a round at the 18-hole golf course, or enjoy family time at the on-site arcade and dining venues. With five restaurants, including the Rogue River Restaurant and Chinook’s Seafood Grill, there’s something for every palate. The nearby RV park offers another lodging option for travelers, with full amenities. Owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Chinook Winds combines warm hospitality with cultural pride, making it a distinctive coastal retreat. For a surf-inspired stay with ample activities, check into Surfland Hotel, a newly remodeled boutique hotel oozing with West Coast surf vibes. Head to the shore with direct beach access, or kick back in the hotel courtyard to enjoy fire pits, bocce ball and a beverage bar, or check out the on-site saunas, hot tub and pool. GROUPS AND EVENTS Whether you’re looking to host a family reunion or planning a large professional event, you’ll find plenty of stellar options in Lincoln City, including short-term vacation rentals large and small, and venues well-suited to host larger events. For large-scale occasions — whether a conference, retreat, or wedding — Chinook Winds Casino Resort offers professional event services and versatile spaces, including a grand ballroom and multiple meeting rooms that can adapt to any vision. Expert catering teams craft menus for everything from casual lunches to elegant plated dinners, with creative touches like build-your-own bars and themed buffets. The casino is a big draw, too, and private gaming tournaments can be arranged for groups. Wedding packages for 50 or more guests include everything from free Champagne toasts and basic wedding cakes to dance floors and romantic suite accommodation for the newlyweds. PET-FRIENDLY LODGING With a variety of pet-friendly accommodations in Lincoln City, there’s no need to leave your furry travel companion behind on a visit to the coast. Lincoln Sands Oceanfront Resort allows pets weighing up to 80 pounds (36 kg) to stay in many of its ocean-facing rooms, some of which boast full kitchens. Property highlights include an outdoor heated swimming pool, a hot tub and a sauna, plus free breakfast and cookies. Smaller dogs (under 25 pounds/11 kg) will feel right at home at the Coho Oceanfront Lodge, where bright, modern rooms feature luxe touches like French-press coffee and high-thread-count sheets. Many have sweeping ocean views, and a designated outdoor pet area makes it easy for your pup to stretch their legs. After a beach walk, unwind by the oceanfront fire pits or enjoy the indoor heated pool, hot tub or steam room. Dogs of all sizes are given the red-carpet treatment at the Looking Glass Inn, where every canine visitor receives a welcome basket with food and water bowls, special sheets and towels, dog waste bags and — of course — plenty of treats. An outdoor dog area — featuring a sprinkler shaped like a fire hydrant — adds to the fun, while crates and beds are available to borrow. Humans are well cared for too, with sleek rooms and suites offering kitchens, gas fireplaces, and water views, plus free continental breakfast, an outdoor fire pit, and a crab-cooking station for post-beach feasts.
