One more "Must See" Christmas photo from 2011!

2012-01-04T13:14:00.000-08:00

This is Callie and we LOVE it when she comes to visit!

Come back soon Callie! You are soooo cute!

Here is the note her mom and dad left for us:

Just wanted to send you a picture with Callie in her Santa coat. Enjoyed our trip there again. Room very nice again and the weather was great. It was great to meet Rain too. She will be a great joy in your life. Have a great New Year and I am sure we will see you soon in the new year. Thanks too for Callie's Christmas gift. She picked it out when we checked out. It was the little moose and she sleeps with it in her bed. Thanks again!

Why is there a cat in our lobby, our dog guests have asked today!?!

2011-12-23T11:54:00.000-08:00

Well, there is a story involved but first you must meet Annie Strayler Hofer.

Here she is pleading with her Dad to not make her pose in front of the Dog Christmas Tree

we have here in the lobby.

Once some of our guest dogs came in the lobby and saw her, she seemed to get into it and started to pose in front of their tree.

I think she was showing off in front of the dogs and trying to make them think she's Santa and responsible for all the toys and treats under the tree!

Annie Strayler is pretty special!

To make a tender and somewhat long story short, we don't take cats at the Looking Glass, only dogs, but this cat was a stray kitten found on the property that we cared for until just the right people came to rescue her from the elements and give her an amazing home.

We named her Strayler thinking she was a stray from a trailer up the street. :)

And then one day, some of our guests, Gary in the photos here (and his wife Dianne,) met the kitten during a visit of theirs and after they left and drove all the way home, nearly 6 hours away, they came back!

They came back for the kitten!

Makes me cry!

They call her Annie but we call her Annie Strayler. :)

Did someone say rain?

2011-12-23T11:13:00.000-08:00

Beautiful in Lincoln City for a couple months now, sunny every day, moon and stars out every night and yet in the lobby is RAIN!

Meet RAIN!

This is Mary Ann's new Labrador puppy! Mary Ann, the one who said she was never going to get another dog again, that Mary Ann!

Had to share this photo.... her 1st bath - Rain in the water she now loves!

She's 10 months old now, pretty small for a lab but growing up fast.

Here are a couple more super cute puppy photos.

She loves riding in the car!

Isn't she cute!

Merry Christmas from Baxter!

2011-12-22T15:13:00.000-08:00

Baxter stays here all the time, just about weekly and
he wanted to pose in front of the dog tree too!

Merry Christmas Baxter! See you soon!

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-22T14:59:00.000-08:00

Here is a picture of Paco by our Dog Christmas Tree.

This is our 9th year celebrating Christmas with our guest dogs via our Dog Christmas Tree!

All of the Looking Glass Inn dogs seem to know that Santa Claus comes by in December and leaves dog toys and treats under our pet tree. How does Santa always know what each dog wants?

PS - Paco works at the Looking Glass. He works at the Front Desk!

Shasta Rocks!

2011-11-08T12:56:00.000-08:00

Thank you, we had a great stay! Here is Shasta enjoying the beach and the couch!

See you next time!

This particular picture we posted in an employee area here at the Looking Glass since we love this one so much! You rock Shasta!

Welcome to the Looking Glass, Can I Help You?

2011-11-08T12:32:00.000-08:00

This is Paco! Paco is our newest member of our staff and in training but hard to find unless he happens to be in the chair when you arrive. He's usually cuddled up under a blanket on his bed, hiding from all the guests.

Peyton Has Made the Looking Glass Famous!

2011-11-08T12:27:00.000-08:00

We recently stayed at your lovely hotel with our two dogs and one of our dogs photos at the beach made it into our local newspaper and he was wearing one of your bandanna's that we purchased from you!

Wow Peyton, how do we thank you?!

THANKS PEYTON!

Meet Skye - a Beautiful Chocolate Lab!

2011-09-20T14:21:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of my dog Skye on our recent stay at the Looking Glass Inn. We had a blast and I just love your place! We will definitely be back!

Tender Good Bye Time - Meet Kira

2011-09-20T13:51:00.000-07:00

From the family of Kira:

Hi there, we want to take this time to thank your staff for taking good care of us during our years of stay. As some of you may know our family pet Kira, has been sick with cancer. As a result we decided to put Kira to sleep to allow her to go to the better place, free of worries, sicknesses and leashes. She enjoyed her recent last stay with you. She felt at ease to come back and we believe that she stayed strong so that she would have the chance to come back to Lincoln City. Though she has left us physically, she is always with us in spirit. We will have Kira's ashes in over a week's time and at that point we will make arrangements to come back to your hotel. It will be hard for us but we really feel that it is our little special place. Please do us the honor of posting her picture on your website or in your lobby photo album as it would really mean a lot to us. Thank you to the staff for all your kindness and support. We will see you all really soon.

What a Beautiful Dog you are Kira!

From Presley...

2011-09-20T13:14:00.000-07:00

Hello! I am Presley, I'm a 7-year old Shepherd/Lab mix and I stayed at the Looking Glass Inn with my mom Janine on Friday August 5th. It as our first time at the Inn and we'll definitely be back!

I felt so at home and welcomed at the Looking Glass. I knew we had found a great place to stay when we walked into the office and noticed the stack of dog beds and doggie baskets filled with treats and other doggie necessities that came in super handy! I also got several treats while mom was checking in, sweet!

This is me and the picture below is the basket they gave me!

I also loved the screen door for the room. Mom left the door open while she unpacked so I could watch what was going on outside without getting tempted to wander outside, pretty neat! The neighbor dog, a yellow lab, liked it too and so we'd be watching all the outside activity, side by side, each of us in our room looking out through the screen.

Mom and I hung out at the beach for awhile in the early evening. We watched the seagulls dive for fish and catch some! I had fun "doggie watching," there was a poodle named 'Lucky' who got into the water to get nice and wet, then rolled around in the sand afterwards, crazy! We laughed so hard at that! But the best part was the tummy rub I got while I took a snooze in the cool sand.

These are pictures of me again!

Well we had a great weekend! Thank You!

PS: Thanks for suggesting the Drift Creek Falls hike to my mom, we really enjoyed the well-maintained trail, the suspension bridge and the falls, pretty neat!

This last picture is of me and my mom on the suspension bridge!

Meet our guest Piper!

2011-03-16T09:58:00.000-07:00

This is Piper enjoying the Looking Glass and the beach!

And here is note from her Mom and Dad....

This was Piper's first time at the ocean and she had lots of fun and met new friends. The Looking Glass is one of the best places we have stayed. We loved that it is so dog friendly! I'm sure we will be back again. The Tsunami scare added a little excitement and we were glad to hear that it didn't hit hard there.
Thanks so much for the early warning.
We will be sure to recommend the Looking Glass to our friends!

My people and I had a lot of fun, despite the weather.

Thank you for helping us enjoy our time there.

Also thank you for the special basket just for me!

I had so much fun climbing on the driftwood.

I think I see seals out there.

Dad and I on the beach.

I had a great time running on the dunes.

Sure is nice to relax after a run on the beach.

Mom and I enjoying some quiet time.

Chance!

2011-03-16T09:18:00.000-07:00

What a beautiful photo Chance! Thanks for sending it!

Here's a note from the family of this beautiful dog...

We have been visiting since Chance was 1 year old. He just turned 3 on February 28th 2011. The Looking Glass is his very favorite place to go. The staff all make him feel so special and like one of the family. We are all looking forward to the next time.

See you soon!

Introducing Barney and Clyde!

2011-03-03T08:59:00.000-08:00

Barney is on the left and Clyde is on the right and they had a great time during Clyde's first visit to the Looking Glass Inn. Can you tell who the land-dog is and who is the sea-dog?

Thank you Looking Glass for everything you do for us dogs and our people!

Fondly, Barney and Clyde

This is not your average dog!

2011-02-11T21:24:00.000-08:00

Meet Stella! Stella is a very special guest of the Looking Glass and has sent us this picture of herself relaxing around her own home. She doesn't seem to want her picture taken while she stays with us. Not yet anyway.

Milo is 2!!

2011-02-11T21:19:00.000-08:00

This is Max and Milo and Milo is on the right.

Milo and his brother Max came to spend his birthday with Us!

Here are the comments Milo's family left us after their recent "birthday stay".... "it was such a special weekend for all of us, very nice that the time was taken to make Milo the nice birthday greeting. He also had a comfy doggie bed, treats (which he was nice enough to share with his brother Max.) We always love spending time at the Looking Glass with our boys, I know we'll be up that way again before too long."

Meet Eddie!

2011-02-11T21:00:00.000-08:00

"Edgar" has stayed at the Looking Glass Inn many times but these are his first "public" photos on our Dog Blog.

Come back soon Eddie!

U R SO SPECIAL!

From the family of "Dexter"...

2011-02-11T19:27:00.000-08:00

In October of 2010 we were blessed to adopt our boy Dexter.

He's a minature American Eskimo who fit right into our family. My children and I take a beach weekend trip every February and we were worried that we would have to leave Dexter at a kennel when we took our annual trip, which would have made us feel like a family member short.

Luckily, we found The Looking Glass Inn! When we saw that you were dog friendly and directly across the street from our favorite Mo's Clam Chowder location, we were in heaven.

The whole family, Dexter included, loved every second spent there together.

He loves to stand on the chair near the window and watch the people coming and going from the beach, or take walks on the beach with the family. Thank you for making our family beach trips memorable for all of us and allowing us to bring our best friend along.

We recommend you to all our friends with dogs and will continue to return for many years to come.

A HUGE thank you to the Martin Family! For the kind words, staying with us, letting us meet Dexter

and have him as our guest and for recommending us to others! Looking forward to your next visit!

A Special Tribute to a Special Dog....LUCY

2011-01-15T14:54:00.000-08:00

Lucy has been coming to The Looking Glass Inn for the past 6 years with her family with September 2010 being the most recent trip. Unfortunately, she passed away on November 8. She is missed dearly. We loved bringing our WHOLE family to The Looking Glass ... including Jared, Melanie, Rebekah, Jennah, Emilie and Heath ... and our other dog Calamity Jane (Callie). We look forward to our visits every year, but we must say the next one is going to be a little bittersweet. Lucy has been a part of our family for 11 1/2 years and we miss her everyday. MaryAnn, the manager at The Looking Glass, has been a blessing to us in this very difficult time. She offered much support to us after going through her own loss of Joelle. We are going to miss seeing Joelle when we come to visit. Thank you again for all the support and we hope to see you soon.

Love and Blessings,
Melanie

This is Lucy!

And this was a difficult post for me to make. This little gal is not only special but she belonged to a special family also. A family that the Lord God intrusted to care for her. The loss of a dog is so difficult to bare, truly a struggle that changes us as much as having a dog in our life to care for does.

Mary Ann

Motel Manager

We miss our little Tripod Friend!

2010-10-27T15:17:00.000-07:00

This is Lyla and we haven't seen her in awhile. She only has 3 legs and is sooooo special!

Come back soon Lyla!

Something we forgot to post from Colby...

2010-10-25T10:18:00.000-07:00

The room was wonderful and the view! It was super clean and very nice. Can't thank you enough that you are very pet friendly and accommodating. Will stay there again and recommend you to others. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.

Gorgeous Henley

2010-10-25T10:11:00.000-07:00

Henley is a beautiful Golden Retriever and this is her little friend Lilly she met when she stayed with us at the Looking Glass. Henley's family says we provide a unique service here! :)

Meet Max

2010-10-25T10:05:00.000-07:00

Max hasn't been back to the Looking Glass in a while now and we miss seeing him. He is soooo cute!

Stoli says...

2010-10-25T10:03:00.000-07:00

I'm so tired, I played on the beach to long I think.

So tired from playing on the beach...

2010-10-25T09:55:00.000-07:00

Meet Porter!

Thanks Mindy McPug!

2010-10-24T16:15:00.000-07:00

Mindy Abair McPug loves it at the Looking Glass and has been telling all her friends in Renton Washington!

Mindy and Mom!

A Heartfelt Goodbye to Mia

2010-10-23T15:25:00.000-07:00

These are the fine parents of Mia! With their two amazing children they went camping to Lopez Island in the San Juan's this past summer. This was their last family vacation with Mia. :(

Mia has been a guest of the Looking Glass pretty much from the first day we opened the doors. She passed away in August of this year. Mia had such a gentle and calm spirit, truly one of our favorite dog guests here. We already miss seeing her! :(

Winter is Going..... :(

2010-10-23T14:13:00.000-07:00

This is a special photo of my puppy Winter.

She is looking out at the ocean from the grasslands

she loves the most.

This amazing German Short Hair Pointer is being relocated to live with a very special family in Lebanon Oregon. A family with 2 little boys and that wants to hunt birds with her.

Winter is a hunting dog and a family dog that needs a lot more attention, challenge and exercise then I knew of. I purchased her before researching her breed and now that I know more about her, I know she will be happier with this special family from Lebanon. They pick her up on Tuesday, October 26 and at just 4 months old it will be very difficult to say goodbye to my special puppy but I believe it is the right thing to do.

Mary Ann

This is Callie!

2010-10-23T14:03:00.000-07:00

Callie was our guest this past September. She is special and looks so cute with her Looking Glass Dog Scarf on. Her and Winter had so much fun together!

This is Winter admiring Callie, how beautiful she is.

Winter is Coming!!

2010-07-27T13:53:00.000-07:00

Check this little girl out!

Her name is Winter and she will join the staff at the Looking Glass Inn in mid August as the Manager's new dog! She's a German Shorthair Pointer bred at 2vkennels in Wallowa Oregon.

You can check out these fine folks at http://www.2vkennels.com/ and you can meet Winter at the Looking Glass any time you stay after mid August!

Hi! My name is Rosie!

2010-07-26T14:33:00.000-07:00

We spent our 1st weekend in Lincoln City over Memorial Day and had a wonderful time staying at the Looking Glass Inn.... so did our 9 month old yellow lab, Rosie. She really enjoyed her first hotel visit. From the welcome basket, the dog friendly areas around the hotel, to the quick walk to the beach, it was the perfect place to bring her. Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend!

We'll for sure be back for another visit soon!

A Note From The Camillo's & Noodles

2010-07-26T14:13:00.000-07:00

I just want to thank you for such a wonderful time when we stayed with you in May. My husband and I had stayed with you before, but we brought along our Pembroke Welsh Corgi this time around. He had a blast and really enjoyed being papered while he was there. Here is a couple of pictures for your doggie blog. He enjoyed staring out the window and seeing the ocean and then also resting in the sand on the beach. Thank you again for such a wonderful time and we will be back. Noodles, our corgi, especially enjoyed eating his Beggin' Strips for breakfast on Saturday morning. Thank you again!

Jake was here in June!

2010-07-26T12:48:00.000-07:00

Here is Jake with his new Looking Glass Inn bandanna!

He even took one back home and gave it to his neighbor and best girlfriend! How sweet is that!?

His parents said that they tell everyone they know about the Looking Glass Inn and they asked us to never change. Sounds like they had a great time too!

Say hi to Sadie!

2010-05-29T13:25:00.000-07:00

We want to thank you so much for the comfortable and very enjoyable stay at your establishment and that includes our little 1 year old puglet Sadie. She loves sitting on my lap and watching the sun set from our beautiful view room. Speaking of Sadie, here is the picture I took of her next to the flowers by your office. It really turned out great! Thank you again for making us feel so welcome. We'll see you again next year.

Pug Hugs, the Avery's

This is Button!

2010-05-04T09:10:00.000-07:00

Button is a new guest of the Looking Glass and his 3rd visit with us will be in July.
We sure look forward to having him back!
He is special!

This is a note his parents sent us: "Thank you for a wonderful time. The room we had was great. We and our little pug Button truly had lots of fun. We enjoyed the location and the breakfast. Everyone was very helpful and so kind. We are already planning to return after just leaving. We had a great vacation because of people that care about people. You are all very gracious hosts." Thank you!

Meet Mr. Goliath Peterson

2010-03-28T19:15:00.000-07:00

This is Goliath and he went to Heaven to meet God and be with all the other animals in Heaven on 3/26/10. He was a big boy, a "big man dog!" He lived with his two best dog friends, Boo Boo and Ruby and was surely the "man dog" of the house. Boo Boo and Ruby couldn't even eat until Goliath said so. Goliath ruled.

He loved to wear sun glasses! When he had his sun glasses on you'd better watch out, cuz he guarded them like they were food. When he had his sun glasses on, you couldn't hardly touch him and you definitely couldn't touch his sunglasses. He was special and this is a tribute to him.

He is terribly missed by his mom Amy and his dad Jim. They're stellar people who took stellar care of Goliath! Don't forget you guys.... God spelled backwards is Dog. That's how cool God is!

Below is Mr. Goliath Peterson with his mom Amy and his Gramma Harriet!

Dogs stay FREE March 7 - 11, 2010!!

2010-03-02T16:44:00.000-08:00

"Remember me, my name is Bailey. I am a Bichon-Poodle mix. My folks and I stayed at your place in room 201. We all had a great time. Since then I have told all my dog friends about how nice your place is and how you get dog treats, a basket, have bandanna's and even have a pet area! We can't wait to come stay with you again!"

Email from "Kate"

2010-02-26T11:21:00.000-08:00

Would you believe "Kate" sent us this email?

"Hi, I stayed at the Looking Glass with my slaves Bob, Mary and Kelly. I would like to be in the pet photo gallery (now our Dog Blog). I will be back I hope.
I loved it and had fun running on the beach!"

Shasta Knows How to Relax!

Did you know every 4th of July there is a fireworks show right across the Siletz Bay from the Looking Glass Inn? We still have a few rooms left this year if you are thinking of coming down for the celebration!

Say hello to Elvis and Dory!

2010-02-24T12:35:00.000-08:00

Elvis and Dory not only enjoyed the beautiful beach but they also took a hike up to Drift Creek Falls, just a few miles away from the hotel. They even took a walk along the nature trail on the other side of the Siletz Bay across from our Inn. They definitely know how to "explore the area."

Shelby Chandler

2010-02-24T12:17:00.000-08:00

This is Shelby, a border collie and guest of the Looking Glass Inn! We hope Shelby comes back real soon!

Lucy and Grandma Doris

2010-02-15T19:48:00.000-08:00

Lucy and Grandma Doris really had a fun time at the Looking Glass Inn and they will be coming back for another visit very soon. If you are looking for a "dog friendly" place to stay in Lincoln City you don't need to look any further ... your dog will be treated like the special family member they are at the Looking Glass Inn. They even provide them with a basket of goodies. We look forward to visiting the beach next month.

Meet Lucy!

2010-02-15T19:15:00.000-08:00

We come to the Looking Glass many times a year and we love it there!! We have one dog named Lucy. She is a miniture daschund and she LOVES the Looking Glass. She loves all of the things in the doggie basket and she loves going for walks on the beach. We have been going to the Looking Glass since it first opened and we love coming back every year.

A note from Mia!

2010-02-15T14:05:00.000-08:00

Mia is a regular guest of the Looking Glass Inn and here's an email she sent to us a couple of years ago. It was so cute, we want to share it!

"Hi, thanks for having me back again this year. I really liked the room we had this visit. It was cool looking out of the window. Thanks also for the extra dog treats. I needed them after the walks on the beach. My only complaint is that the water from the hose was cold. My baths in the parking lot were chilly. It was great meeting Joelle. See you next year!" Mia

P.S. "Don't tell my dad I used his computer. He gets upset with nose prints on the screen."

Meet Bo!

2010-02-13T13:46:00.000-08:00

This is Bo sitting outside our lovely Inn on one of the benches. He used to always come here with Mike and John however Mike passed away in 2008. ALL of us here at the Looking Glass really miss seeing Mike and we ALL hope to see John and Bo real soon!

Welcome Cody

2010-02-10T17:56:00.000-08:00

After losing Riff we were torn on getting a puppy, an older dog or even having a dog again at all. After much soul searching we decided we couldn't image life without a friend. We started looking and we came across Cody, a 1 1/2 year old beagle who soon started filling the void in our hearts and has proved to be a loving and loyal companion.

Riff remembered

2010-02-10T17:24:00.000-08:00

Riff our 16 1/2 year old Beagle became very ill and we had to put him to sleep while on vacation at the Looking Glass Inn on Memorial Day, 2008. Words cannot express our appreciation for the kindness we were shown by everyone at the Looking Glass Inn at that most difficult time.

Maggie!

2010-01-28T12:45:00.000-08:00

Maggie was one of our recent guests! She told us (through her owner's,) that she loved the doggie basket and treats we gave her and also that she loved being made to feel so welcomed!

Some sad news... Joelle is no longer with me.

2010-01-28T12:17:00.000-08:00

For those of you who knew my dog Joelle, its time to say that she has gone to heaven. Not only was Joelle terminally ill, but she suddenly developed an eye infection in both eyes that took her eyesight. It was time to say goodbye, so with much difficulty I did so this past December. Thank you for the love and kindness so many of you always showed to my special dog. Sincerely, Mary Ann - Looking Glass Inn Manager

Christmas at the Looking Glass Inn

2010-01-28T11:47:00.000-08:00

Each year at the Looking Glass we display a special Christmas tree for the dogs to enjoy. Every dog with us Christmas morning gets to choose a special present from under the tree!
