Stephanie Inn & Dining

About

Stephanie Inn & Dining stands regally in Cannon Beach, framing breathtaking views of the iconic sea stacks and the boundless Pacific Ocean.

The inn was the brainchild of Cannon Beach hospitality family Jan and Steve Martin. They sought the "ultimate beach house" where relaxation and elegance coexist. They purchased the facility in 1993 and named the inn after their daughter.

Over the years, Stephanie Inn & Dining has carved out a reputation for stunning Pacific views and showcasing the region's bountiful products. Chef Aaron Bedard brings his passion for farm-to-table cuisine and crafts inventive and familiar entrees that celebrate the Pacific Northwest's best.

Stephanie Inn & Dining sources from their Public Coast Farm, which grows blueberries, heirloom tomatoes, apples, pears, peach orchards, and hops. Add the apiary (beehives!), and it's an epicurean playground for Chef Aaron! Daughter Stephanie assists with the farm and also co-owns the sister eatery with husband Ryan, Public Coast Brewing Co.

Only one eatery will suffice when your Cannon Beach getaway requires fine dining: Stephanie Inn & Dining.
