Take in all the natural beauty and adventure Astoria has to offer.

This 288 sq. ft. studio is stylishly decorated and very comfortable with a queen size daybed, stocked kitchenette, smart TV, Wi-Fi and a floating wood countertop for dining, working or hanging out.

The unit is through a gate and up a few stair steps from there with a cozy private deck, a café table and chairs.

In case you're new to the area here's a couple ideas for things to do around town:

Astoria Sunday Market (https://www.astoriasundaymarket.com/about): A combination of a farmer's and artist's market every Sunday downtown during the warmer months.

The Sea Crab House (https://theseacrabhouse.com): A local favorite for seafood.

Mo's (https://ilovemoschowder.com/mos-astoria): Another local favorite for seafood

Thai Me Up by Patta (https://www.thaimeuporder.com/): Good Thai food

Fort George Brewery (https://fortgeorgebrewery.com): Local brewery to unwind at after your northwest adventures, if you like IPAs try the Vortex.

Buoy Beer Company (https://www.buoybeer.com/): Another local brewery but this one is out on the pier.

The Astoria Column (https://astoriacolumn.org): For an incredible view stretching from Saddle Mountain to the Washington coast take some time to climb the column or hike to the area on one of the trails. FYI, a parking pass is $5.

Long Beach, WA (https://smalltownwashington.com/things-to-do-in-long-beach-wa/): Fly a kite, take a surfing lesson or just drive down the nearly 30 miles of beach until you find your perfect spot. This is roughly a 30 minute scenic drive from Astoria.

Bowpicker Fish & Chips (https://bowpicker.com/): I'm not a giant fan of fish & chips but I have friends who rave about this place.

Pelayo's Taqueria (https://www.facebook.com/taqueriapelayos/): A nearby taco truck with good food and good selection.

Hwy 101 (https://www.oregoncoasttravel.net/): The Oregon coast is very scenic all year long. Take a drive and explore some of our natural beauty and small coastal towns. A few places to check out are Seaside, Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, Oswald West State Park (the short hike to Short Sand Beach is nice).

Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area (https://myodfw.com/jewell-meadows-wildlife-area-visitors-guide): This is a little out of the way but it's a scenic drive and you are pretty much guaranteed to see a large herd of elk beside the road if you arrive near sunrise or sunset in the cooler months.

Fort Stevens State Park (https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=129): Check out an old ship wreck and enjoy a view of the ocean.
