Links and Guide
When you stay at Our Happy Place, with our great beach, park, volleyball, fire pit (wood provided), it is easy to forget the great things Lincoln City and the surrounding area have to offer. Within walking distance are restaurants and shops in the quaint Nelscott district. A very short drive north will take you to the Outlet Mall, and Chinook Winds Casino is just a bit further to the north. Devils Lake is in between, stretching inland with parks and trails to explore. To the south is the Taft district with more shops and restaurants and Siletz Bay to explore. Further south will take you on a beautiful scenic drive through Salishan and Gleneden Beach to Depoe Bay and Newport.
Following are some highlights and links to help you explore the area around Our Happy Place.
