Introducing The Escape Hatch — Your Inside Look at Escape Lodging!

We’re excited to introduce The Escape Hatch — our new blog where we’ll share stories from across our family of hotels and restaurants. Think of it as a behind-the-scenes peek into what makes each of our properties special — from the coastal charm of Cannon Beach to the cozy country feel of The Dalles, and our newest venture, the Manzanita Oceanfront Inn, set to open after a full refresh in 2026.

Here, you’ll find updates on what we’re working on, events happening at our properties, team highlights, community stories, and a few fun surprises along the way. Whether you’re a business partner, a longtime guest at one of our hotels or restaurants, or just discovering Escape Lodging for the first time, The Escape Hatch is your place to stay connected to all things Escape.

And there’s no better way to kick things off than with a beloved fall tradition at one of our community’s favorite spots — Driftwood Restaurant & Lounge in Cannon Beach, where the annual Pumpkin Carving Contest is lighting up the season (and the deck!) once again.
