  The Craftsman is clean and comfortable and a great bargain for the Oregon coast. Mike, the owner, is an excellent chef and very welcoming. We had a gourmet breakfast after sitting in the hot tub sipping port from his extensive collection the night before. The website gave us ideas on activities that were excellent and Mike sent us on a great hike on our day of departure. We were recommended The Delicate Palate, a gourmet restaurant across the street, and I had the best duck dish I have ever eaten. A wonderful experience at any price and even better and the very reasonable rates they charge.

  The Craftsman B&B is the nicest I have ever stayed at. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. the attention to detail that Mike put into restoring this beautiful old craftsman house is remarkable. Including heated bathroom floors, beautiful bed linens,bath towels and very comfortable bed. The restaurant across the street is fabulous, and not just because I was bicycling from Seattle to Florence, it truly is delicious. Highly recommend the Craftsman B&B whether you are biking or driving treat yourself!

  If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, and beautiful B & B on the Oregon Coast, you really must stay at the Craftsman B&B. This lovingly restored Craftsman home, near the beach and one of the finest restaurants on the Oregon Coast is a perfect stop for weary travlers. When we arrived to the smell of fresh baked brownies and Mike's excellent customer service, we knew we'd made a great choice and it only got better from there. We had a short walk to the beach and the the best dinner of our entire stay on the coast. The rooms are comfortable, and roomy, and the period tubs are delightful for soaking. Breakfast the next morning far exceeded our expectations and Mike's latte's are the best. We are already telling friends about this exceptional B&B and give the Craftsman our highest endorsement! Thanks Mike, Laura, and Oscar!

  Mike was a wonderful host!! Everything was very nice, clean, comfortable we felt right at home. The rooms were beautiful and the soaking tub and hot tub were a definite plus! Breakfast was absolutely delicious and better than anywhere dining out. The coffee was wonderful as well, great lattes Mike! There are several choices for dining within walking distance, the Bistro across the street was incredible! We love Pacific City and have discovered a new treasure in the Craftsman Inn. We will definitely return and bring our friends and family.

  My wife, friends and I rode out bicycles from Salem, Oregon to Pacific City. After a long ride, we rolled into the B&B and were thrilled. Mike was extremely friendly and helpful- and even going above and beyond to provide the best customer service. From making coffee for us, to setting aside some space in his garage for our bikes, to doing a load of laundry (bike clothes)- to shipping some items back to Salem - he did everything to make us comfortable. For the accommodations themselves- the rooms were really cute- and the bed, linens and towels- to die for. Everything was so soft and comfortable. Being able to sleep well is very important to us and the environment was A+. Breakfast was delicious and got us fueled for the ride back to Salem- and the coffee contraption was a hoot! Make sure to check out the book showing how the Craftsman was remodeled- amazing! When you visit- try the Delicate Palate- almost right across the street for some great food! With their new head chef- the food is excellent- like the Silver Grille in Silverton (When Jeff was head chef)! When we return to the coast- we will definitely be making another trip to the Craftsman. Thanks Mike!!!!

  Exactly what I wanted, quiet, dignified, easy walk to the beach and Pelican brewpub. I wanted, and got, a relaxing day away from the everyday routine. Breakfast was leisurely, and delightful. I would without hesitation recommend it to anyone.

  This was our first experience at a B&B and it couldn't have been better. The home was warm and inviting, the food was excellent, and Mike and Laura were wonderful hosts. We have stayed at many hotels along the Oregon coast, but the Craftsman B&B is by far the best overall value we have found. Our room was clean and comfortable with a large private bathroom. (We could even see Haystack Rock from our bedroom window.) The homemade breakfast and treats were amazing and prepared to meet each guest's specific dietary requests. Mike was very attentive and was always ready to meet any need that we had from itinerary planning to a hot cup of tea / coffee. We felt so much at home that it was hard to leave when Sunday morning finally arrived. It was truly one of the most relaxing getaways we have ever had. We will definitely be back and will be dreaming of cranberry scones and triple-chocolate brownies in the mean time.

  We stayed at the Craftsman initially for the convenience to a small airstrip. however, we discovered that staying here became one of our favorite experiences. The room was comfortable, the tub luxurious , the breakfast delicious and the hosts do an exceptional job. The extra packages they put together such as a picnic lunch with wonderful wine added to our stay. They are very knowledge about the area and the workmanship in the house is beautiful

  We just spent 3 nights at The Craftsman B&B and feel like we just had a "5 Star" experience! Everything was absolutely perfect for our stay. We were greeted by Mike & Laura, the owners and innkeepers. Their home was immaculate and beautiful. Mike is a master craftsman and he totally remodeled the home in the Craftsman style, paying attention to every detail...he even made the dining room chairs! Our room was charming and the bath came fully equipped with a color-changing nightlight, bathrobes, beach towels and flipflops! Both Mike and Laura were perfect hosts, but as Laura told us, Mike is the innkeeper! And what a chef! The breakfasts were outstanding and varied and included homemade scones, sticky buns, muffins, crepes, waffles, bananas foster french toast, fresh fruit...and more, all in our 3 day stay! The coffee was perfect and even though we could have served ourselves, it seemed that Mike was always ready when we needed another cup. We were there with our best friends and were left to chat on our own, but Mike always made his appearances at the right times to check on us. Each afternoon, upon returning to the B&B, we entered to the smell of a homemade treat of brownies or cookies. What we didn't eat that day, was packed in baggies for us to take with us on outings the following day. The little things set The Craftsman apart from other B&B's. Mike printed our boarding passes, had beach chairs on the porch ready for our day at the beach and had an extensive wine cellar so we could relax in the afternoons with a bottle of great Oregon wine. He was so knowledgeable about the area and we thoroughly enjoyed hearing all the details about the state. The restaurants he recommended were perfect and he even waited up for us when we returned each night to make sure that we didn't need anything before going to bed. And then, of course, there was Oscar Meier, the trusty weimaraner! He was well-behaved and really helped us emotionally when we were alerted that our own dog became very ill with meningitis while we were there. It took us 2 days to rearrange our travel plans to get home to Texas and Mike & Laura couldn't have been more concerned. Our Jesse is doing well, but Mike's & Laura's compassion was so reassuring. Our only regret is that this B&B isn't on the Texas coast. We highly recommend The Craftsman and will definitely stay there again if we are ever in the area.

  Half-way through our road trip down the Pacific coast, my husband and I stayed at The Craftsman B&B for one night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was cozy and inviting. Mike and Laura, our hosts, were warm, friendly and full of knowledge. Breakfast was delicious, and the freshly baked homemade cookies that greeted us at check-in was a great touch. I was particularly enamoured with Oscar Meier, the Rech's incredibly sweet and gentle dog. If Pacific City wasn't so far from home, we'd be regulars - highly recommended!

  Mitch, Laura and Oscar made my stay exceptional. This was my first time in a B&B but it won't be my last. I really felt like home with the warm welcome, comfortable room and fantastic breakfast. It was nice being greeted by Mitch and a wonderful cup of coffee and cookies. Breakfast was like eating with family and had wonderful conversation. On our way out to go home, Mitch sent us back with cookies for the trip home. How great is that! I plan on returning in the Fall for a longer visit.

  Mike and Laurie greeted us as we rolled up on our bikes and took our bikes for us. They gave us good dinner suggestions and even though it was late, Mike set the hot tub up for us. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. Great experience overall - Mike went out of his way to accommodate our tired selves.

  Wow, Mike and Laura really took care of us. Every time you came downstairs they would come out to greet us. Very hospitable and made us feel very welcome. The place was immaculate, the room was gorgeous, and being near the beach was another plus. They know all about their little town and are very active in it, so they can offer advice about where to go for fun or dinner. Breakfast was quite delicious, we were there on a savory morning and woke up to the smell of cooking bacon. Yum!

  Mike, Laura, and Oscar were extremely welcoming and helpful with suggestions of where to go and what to do in Pacific City. Our room was great. You could really see the love that went into making the place what it was. My husband and I especially enjoyed the fresh baked cookies upon arrival. We were also very impressed with the breakfast of warm scones, a berry souffle, and sausages. When we travel to Oregon again, there is no doubt that we'll stay at the Craftsman!
