Loose Sandhills

For generations of Pacific Northwest families, convention attendees, music buffs and those seeking refuge in the coastal environment, Salishan Lodge was the resort of choice for more than 40 years. Built with one man’s vision, the resort evolved into a coastal icon and became known world-wide, garnering numerous awards including the prestigious Mobil 5-Star honor. Those honors would disappear as corporate executives decided they had a better idea following the 1996 sale. On the sand spit separating Siletz Bay from the Pacific Ocean, Salishan’s oceanfront homes sit on sand dunes and await the next combination of a winter Pacific storm and high tide to further erode those fragile dunes.
