If you are looking for a getaway place where the entertainment consists of the sound of gulls or watching tide come and go, come to the Baker Bay Retreat. This charming Craftsman cottage is snuggled in a cove between the Port of Ilwaco and Cape Disappointment State Park in Ilwaco, Washington on the scenic Long Beach Peninsula. You can sit for hours in front of the floor to ceiling windows of the common room, listen to the sounds of wind and water, and watch the shorebirds running back and forth.

Look for elegant herons or timid deer or the local fishermen bringing their daily catch in. There is a soothing timelessness in the expanse of tidelands, where the only drama takes place in nature. Enjoy the simple but elegant comfort of the four guestrooms, with precious antiques and opulent bathrooms with stained glass windows and tiles made by hand by a local artist. Soak in the jetted tub after a day of exploring the neighboring Cape Disappointment State Park. Coffee and tea are available all day long, and guests are invited to enjoy a gourmet breakfast at the nearby Shelburne Inn.
