The Tokeland Hotel was built as a private residence over 140 years ago and transitioned into a boarding house for weary travelers shortly thereafter. It was remarkable at that time to even have indoor plumbing and standard to have a few shared bathrooms amongst guests. Today the Tokeland Hotel's bones stay largely intact and so too does the layout. There are 4 bathrooms on the second floor to be shared by guests. 2 with standing showers and 2 with claw-foot bath tubs with showers.

An adventure! You can think of Tokeland as a big fancy barn; plenty of isolation from the world at large, but not so much from your fellow guests. The walls can be thin, but the Brooklinen sheets on the comfy new mattresses will keep you sleeping cozy until the smell of breakfast comes wafting under your door. If you are lucky enough to be here during a winter storm, the walls might creak and sway, all part of the charm and experience of staying in this one-of-a-kind hotel. Welcome to Tokeland!

We sit right on Willapa Bay, with sweeping views to the south and east, and there are beaches to explore just minutes away.

Open most of the year! We take a holiday break from November 24 to December 25, and from Labor Day to June 20 the hotel and restaurant rest on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We’re open every day December 26 through 31. Walter’s and Penelope’s cabins can be booked every night. Some of our best memories are stormy winter nights with everyone gathered around the fireplace.

Well, that’s for you to decide but whatever kind of ghosts we have here are most definitely the playful and friendly type!
