My wife and I stayed in the larger unit and really enjoyed our stay. The separate bedroom allowed me to sleep in while my wife watched tv. We are tea drinkers and the kettle on the stove was perfect. The kitchen was very well equiped in this unit and we had everything to cook a meal. The tongue and groove ceiling, stained glass window and beautiful river rock fireplace make this a cozy cabin experience.

Although the location is right on Hemlock I did not hear traffic. There are a few restaurants [Doogers] close by and the beach is just one block away. Checking in at the Cannon Beach Hotel two blocks south is easy and the staff was great.

My daughter and I stayed at the Hearthstone for our yearly Mom and me weekend. The room was large with a kitchenette and table. It was very comfortable and clean. We found it very cozy considering fall was in full swing during our visit. I highly recommend the Hearthstone or any of the other Cannon Beach Hotel lodgings (McBee, Courtyard and main hotel).

We booked three nights and had planned on cooking at least two meals a day. The unit is advertised as "fully equipped kitchenettes", which was far from the truth! The main appliances worked fine but there was very little cookware or utensils for cooking anything. It was impossible to cook even pasta because of only having a small sauce pan and no way to strain it. There was NO cheese grater, measuring devices, serving bowl, peeler, or most anything else you may need to cook anything. Apparently, no visitors are allowed due to there only being two eating utensils: two forks, two spoons, and two knives, with no large preparing spoon or fork. Within one hour of checking in at the Cannon Beach Hotel lobby, which is where you must go for the Hearthstone Inn property, I requested a pasta pot and a large spoon. The receptionist went to the now de-funked restaurant within the hotel and found a very large pot, which would not even standup on the stove burner because of being so out of shape, and a bent-up spoon. She said she would leave a note for the day person to act on our cookware needs. Needless to say, when we returned the next afternoon to the hotel lobby, no real attempt was made to supply us with cooking essentials as requested the day before. We spoke with the general manager who was NOT the least bit apologetic but did finally offer to buy or scrounge up what we needed. (We heard from some of the Cannon Beach store owners that the manager is one of the least liked people in town). She definitely has no clue about customer service! We asked for a refund for the last two nights so we could stay elsewhere but she would only refund for the final night. Anywho, by the second evening we finally had what we needed to cook pasta but left the next day to stay at Sea Breeze Court which was wonderfully equipped to cook meals. My advise is to stay away from any of the Cannon Beach Hotel properties: (Hearthstone Inn, McBee Cottages, ......) and Highly recommend Sea Breeze Court.

This was our second stay here. The 1st time we stayed in a "Grand" room which has a little more room and a couch. This time we stayed in a "Classic" which was more private and a better value all things considered. The management will email special offers to you during the year once you stay there and again are a good deal. Dog friendly and clean. Take note if you plan to cook, there are exactly enough dishes for two. But it's a good little kitchen set up.
