It's been a little stormy over here but storms are great to watch from the INSIDE of your cozy cabin. Roads are open and the temperatures are mild. It's perfect for staying in.

Turkeys and Giving Thanks

W. T. Purkiser
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

Well, it's officially November, the month of Thanksgiving. I was sitting in my office at the Chetco River Resort and took a moment from my diligent attempt at work to look out my window. There I saw a few wild turkeys, some of the many forms of wildlife that can be found at the resort. I thought that was quite an appropriate way to begin this month.

We still have a few off the water cabins available at the Chetco River Resort for the Thanksgiving holiday so don't panic if you haven't made a reservation left. But we are down to only a few so don't wait too much longer either.

Our November coupon is now available.

We hope to see you soon!

The fall run of King Salmon have begun and the season is officially open. There are plenty of charter and guide services available to help you catch that big one out there and the weather and water are pretty mild this time of year.

Our October special is still in effect. Print out your coupon and make your reservation.

We are filling up fast for the Thanksgiving holiday. If you are thinking of spending it with us don't wait to make your reservations.

We are also taking reservations for Christmas & New Years Eve. The weather's nice and mild here that time of year. Why not spend the holidays with us?

Season of Change

Fall is here and with it comes our 'summer'. This is the time of year we typically get our best weather. It's a beautiful time to be here and the drive over is spectacular with the changing trees and fall colors beginning to show.

Even better news is that our STAY 2 NIGHTS, GET THE 3RD NIGHT 1/2 off/FREE is back!

Use this month's coupon to get the 3rd night FREE on Ocean Front as well.

Come and enjoy OUR summer. See you soon!

View from water front deck at Chetco River Resort

Summer is finally here at the coast. We have been enjoying the sunshine at last. Interestingly, Chetco River Resort is just far enough upriver to most of the time be out of the coastal fog we get during the summer months.

We recently took at jet boat ride up the Rogue River at Gold Beach. They took great care to find wildlife for us to see: deer, osprey, otters. I thought to myself how lucky I am - I can see all of those things right in my own back yard at Chetco River Resort. We have a family of osprey that have made a nest there at the top of a tree in the harbor and come back each year to raise new chicks. In fact, their latest offspring is just learning how to fly and can be seen hopping from branch to branch testing his wings. We have a family of otters that live in the harbor. I watched one of them drag a salmon as big as he was onto the shore and start feasting. Because we are so close to the mouth of the river we are still in the tidal exchange so we get seals coming up to fish and this time of year pelicans as well. I recently took a picture of a deer outside my office window and cabin #9 isn't called Turkey Trot by chance. We get wild turkeys roaming the park as well. It truly is a fantastic and beautiful place to be.

Our August coupon is still in effect as is the stay 2, get the third night fee (Chetco only & not good for major holiday weekends). Why not see it for yourself?

One Tired Dog

 

 

Katiebug can often be found snoozing under the desk at the White Rock Office. If you happen to catch her there feel free to say hi. She is very friendly and loves to be acknowledged and told how cute she is.

The weather here is nice and cool with high coastal clouds in the morning that burn off to a spectacular afternoon and evening. It's such a relief to get out of the heat that even the morning clouds are welcome.

Check out this month's coupon. It's good for a discount off the Ocean View and/or Garden cabins.

See you soon!

The pelicans are here! July is when we get our first sight of these oh-so-fun-to-watch birds. Sitting on your deck, watching them dive bomb for fish or just doing their fly-bys is not a bad way to spend the afternoon.

Click here for some more pictures of the brown pelicans.

Also, July & August are great months for tide pooling. Check out this article from a couple of years ago about it - ARTICLE

Don't forget about our coupon. It's still good for any new reservation this month.

See you soon!
 

HAPPY B-DAY MATT!

Looking out my window I can guess that it must be 

where you are. Not here. Here we are nice and cool. 

This coastal marine layer will burn off this afternoon for a great evening and sunset. Yesterday's sunset was amazing!

If you want a break from the heat this is the place to be.

Here is this week's coupon. 

Hopefully we'll see you soon!

I feel a getaway coming...

Rock Garden at White Rock Resort

These are just a few of the mementos that guests leave in our rock garden. It's so fun to see the collection grow year by year and also to see how creative families have gotten in reminding us they were here. How fun to come back and find your family's rock still there, proudly displaying to the world the fun memories made at this place. We look forward to seeing our collection grow further still and hope you have fun carving your memories in stone, as it were.

We still have openings for this weekend. An ocean front cancelled so there is ONE now left. The weather is supposed to be great this weekend, all the azaleas are in bloom and it's shaping up to be a great time. Hope to see you here!

Springtime at the Coast

Spring is here and it's time to shake off the winter doldrums and get out of the house. What better way than by coming to the coast!

Get a cabin with a hot tub and walk the beach and you'll quickly find yourself in a much better place.

We are filling up fast for spring break. Don't wait too much longer if you are planning on visiting us then. All of our specials apply during spring break so don't miss out!

Spring is on the way...

Spring is already coming to the coast. It might still be a little rainy but all of our flowers are starting to bloom.


We are also having a record CRAB season this year and the crab boats are coming in daily with loads of fresh crabs you can buy right off the dock. They will even cook them for you.





Watch the Super Bowl heare with a bunch of fresh steamed crab. Doesn't get much better.

Snow at the Coast

IT SNOWED LAST NIGHT AT THE COAST!

Nope, we didn't paint our roofs white over the weekend. It actually SNOWED at the coast. While that sounds cold our snow will be gone by 10am or so this morning as it is already in the 40's - still quite a bit warmer than a lot of other places. It is a rare thing to behold though and a lucky happenstance for those guests that were here this weekend to witness it.

Don't forget to book early for Valentines Day and Presidents Day in February.

See you soon!
