Mary Jones and Jeff Schons, Owners/Partners, Nestucca Ridge Family of Companies
Both native Oregonians, Jeff and Mary moved to Pacific City in 1990, intending to stay for the winter, and never left. In addition to running and growing their family of businesses, Jeff and Mary are committed to investing in the community and contributing to the quality of life in Pacific City. Their greatest desire is to share their businesses and all Pacific City has to offer with their guests. Mary enjoys the serenity of living by the water, and in her free time kayaks and teaches cooking classes. Jeff takes full advantage of the outdoors. He’s likely to be found crabbing, flying, climbing, fishing or hunting.
Jennifer Nelson, General Manager
Jennifer became interested in hospitality at a young age with entertaining family and friends. In her twenties, she spent time in Alaska working at a fly-fishing lodge and at several restaurants in Portland. She pursued her passion for excellent service and guest experiences at boutique hotels, as lodging manager of Brasada Ranch, general manager of the Oxford Hotel and general manager of the Inn at the 5th in Eugene. In addition to her accomplished career in hospitality, Nelson has served on the Travel Lane County board and the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association’s board of directors.
Pacific City is the only wintering spot in the world of the Semidi Island Aleutian Cackling Geese. Each year, the geese fly south more than 2,000 miles from their small Alaskan nesting islands to Oregon’s North Coast. Every evening during their annual Pacific City stay, they leave the grassy pastures in the Nestucca Valley and soar across a mile of ocean to roost on Haystack Rock—the
same towering monolith that Headlands guests can see from their rooms and cottages.
Our logo is reminiscent of these special birds because they capture our Headlands spirit: rugged, beautiful and ready for adventure. We feel the same way about our geese
as we do about our guests—eagerly awaiting their arrival, cherishing their stay with us and looking forward to their eventual return.

businesses including Pelican Brewing Company, one of Oregon’s fastest-‐growing craft beer brands. Headlands is locally
owned and owner-‐operated, employing 60 people from Pacific City and the surrounding area.

For dining options outside of the lodge, guests don’t have to venture far. The only beachfront brewpub in the Pacific
Northwest, Pelican Brewing Company is right next-‐door. There, award-‐winning brews are paired with refined beer
cuisine. Stop in for a pint, a taster tray and a bite. Across the street is the newly remodeled Stimulus Coffee + Bakery,
serving espresso, fresh pastries and breakfast and lunch options.
Spa and wellness For relaxation and escape, the spa at Tidepools offers everything from facials to hot stone massages. In the serene
setting, guests can enjoy their treatments, steam room and an outdoor hot tub with ocean view and fireplace. When it’s
warm, large windows open to let the ocean add to the experience.
In addition to the spa, the Tidepools wellness offerings include an airy fitness studio with free weights, treadmill,
elliptical, Peloton bikes and Precor equipment. Complimentary exercise classes range from beach yoga to meditation to
Pilates.
“We want our guests to be able to actually pursue an adventure, whether it be learning to surf or fishing from a dory
boat, or enjoying the outdoor hot tub, a fitness class or a spa treatment,” says Jones. “We strive to find special ways to
motivate our guests to experience the myriad of things we love that make Pacific City such an amazing place, whether
for a visit or a lifetime.”
To achieve that goal, Headlands has developed a unique Adventure Coach program. The three on-‐staff Adventure
Coaches are experts in everything North Coast. They are available to plan a personalized itinerary for any experience,
from food, beer and wine to biking, hiking and crabbing, or any mix of activities a visitor could desire.

and sculptures by Michael Schlicting, Liisa Rahkonen, John Stahl, Maya Kabat, Norm Eder and Kevin Shluka.”
Headlands is the perfect place for small weddings, groups and corporate meetings and retreats. The two dynamic
meeting spaces, Longitude and Latitude, can accommodate up to 32 people, and are outfitted with state-‐of-‐the-‐art
audiovisual equipment. An accessible, outdoor courtyard joins the rooms.
Dining options
Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, Headlands’ restaurant and bar, Meridian, is located in the main lodge.
Customers can savor their food in the stylish oceanview dining room, which seats 40, surrounded by exposed beams,
Oregon hardwoods and sky-‐high windows. The welcoming bar seats an additional 16. Guests can also enjoy their food
and drink fireside in the unique indoor patio with accordion-‐style windows that let the ocean air in, or take it to go down
at the beach.
Meridian’s menu focuses on Northwest coastal cuisine, with ingredients sourced from the ocean, local purveyors
including Nevør Shellfish Farm, Jacobsen Salt Co. and DeNoble Farms, and Headlands’ own Mary’s Herb Garden. An early
favorite from the dinner menu is the Black Cod, with Oregon black truffle, parsnip mash, escarole and truffle jus. Custom
cocktails, such as Thor’s Well (Bulleit Rye, Absinthe, Peychaud’s Bitters, Brown Syrup), pay homage to famous North
Coast locations. An extensive wine list focuses on Oregon wines with featured selects from Washington and beyond. On
tap are beers from Pelican Brewing Company, located just steps away down the beach. A full vegan and vegetarian
menu is also offered. Private dining options for large parties are available on request.
“At Meridian, my goal is to cook locally and seasonally,” says Executive Chef Andrew Garrison, formerly of Salishan Spa
& Golf Resort and the Jory at the Allison Inn & Spa. “Menu items will come and go as ingredients come in and out of
season, so the menu will be constantly evolving and growing. I see it as an ongoing conversation with our staff, guests
and suppliers.”
Craving breakfast in bed? Headlands will deliver an in-‐room picnic of fresh pastries, coffee, juice and specialty breakfast
cocktails. For the more adventurous, boxed lunches for hikes, s’mores for a beach bonfire and picnic lunch baskets are
available. For late night or any-‐time-‐of-‐day snacks, every floor of the main lodge has a gourmet pantry, stocked with
Oregon-‐made treats from Alma Chocolate, Albina Nuts, Betty Lou’s and Tillamook County Creamery Association.
Designed by Scott l Edwards Architecture (Portland, Ore.), the oceanfront lodge features interior design by EDG (Bay
Area, Calif.), landscaping by Coyote Gardens (Tillamook County, Ore.) and is managed by Kiwanda Hospitality Group
(Pacific City, Ore.). Guests are welcomed to the lodge in the grand lobby with a wood-‐burning fireplace and luxurious S-‐
shaped leather sofa. The first floor includes Haystack Hall, guiding guests through Headlands’ offerings with breathtaking
views of Haystack Rock, an adventure center to plan the perfect Pacific City experience and a European-‐style bathroom
with a living plant wall. The lodge logo evokes the Semidi Island Aleutian Cackling Geese, which winter every year in the
grassy pastures of Nestucca Valley and roost at the cape. The geese motif is seen throughout the lodge, greeting guests
at the reception desk, on custom wallpaper and the in-‐room service buttons.
Pacific City is a hidden gem off Highway 101 on Oregon’s North Coast located just a two-‐hour drive from Portland. It has
many locally owned businesses and extensive recreation opportunities. Visitors can surf, run, bike, hike, visit the
tidepools, stand up paddleboard, kayak, river or ocean fish, crab, bird watch and more.
Guest amenities
All of the guestrooms at the lodge are oceanfront, and have views of the Pacific Ocean and iconic Haystack Rock, with
private balconies to get even closer to the sand, surf and fresh ocean air. Guests can choose from king or two-‐queen
options for rooms, all have pillow-‐top mattresses and custom Pendleton blankets. Rooms also feature an HD flat-‐screen
TV, mini fridge, Bonavita brewing system with freshly-‐ground coffee from Flag & Wire, Smith Tea and kettle, Bluetooth
lantern speaker, in-‐room safe, in-‐room iPad, gas fireplace, bath products from Thymes, linens, toweling and boxer-‐style
hooded robes from Frette, and custom bike and surfboard racks. Select rooms have cast-‐iron soaking tubs. For the
perfect night’s sleep, guests can pick the pillow of their preference from a pillow menu with options ranging from fine
goose down to wool fill. The Headlands app, with details on lodge amenities, coastal adventures and dining options,
allows guests to plan their stay before they arrive, and enhance their experience while there. The Headlands team
knows dogs are part of the family, so certain rooms have also been designated as dog-‐friendly.
“With the rooms and throughout the lodge, we wanted to showcase and support the wonderful artisans who are our
North Coast and Oregon neighbors,” says General Manager Jennifer Nelson, formerly of the Inn at the 5 th in Eugene.
“We have beautiful custom cutting boards from Hardenbrook Hardwoods in Redmond, trough sinks from Cement

Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa now open in Pacific City, Oregon The first luxury hotel on the coast in over a decade is now welcoming guests
Pacific City, Ore. – After two decades of planning and more than a year of construction, Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa opened its doors to guests January 12. The lodge celebrates hospitality, Oregon-‐style, offering visitors luxury amenities against the backdrop of Oregon’s beautiful North Coast. The 33-‐room lodge, with 18 adjacent cottages, features Meridian, an ocean-‐to-‐table restaurant and bar; Tidepools with a full menu of spa treatments; and an innovative indoor and outdoor wellness program. At Headlands, guests are invited to “Stay In” and relax in the comfort of the lodge, and “Head Out” to explore the rugged nature just outside. “From the first moment we looked at the property, we knew it would be an amazing challenge to design something worthy of the spectacular site,” said Mary Jones, founding partner in Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa. She and husband and business partner, Jeff Schons, moved to Pacific City in 1990, intending to stay the winter, but fell in love with the small coastal town and never left. “We spent 20 years designing and redesigning the lodge in order to best take advantage of the incredible views of Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock, and the proximity to amazing tidepools and the dune. We wanted to make sure the design fit into the natural landscape, which meant using materials like cedar shingles and natural stone.”

NEW AND NOW ON THE OREGON COAST:
Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa offers luxury, and a unique brand of
Oregon hospitality
INSIDE: Travel Special Section
SPONSOR CONTENT PRODUCED BY OREGONIAN MEDIA GROUP’S MARKETING DEPARTMENT
Perched on a bluff overlooking Pacific City beach and Cape Kiwanda sits a breathtaking new hotel.
Opened in January, Headlands Coastal Lodge and Spa is a new shiny gem on the Central Oregon Coast, and a longtime dream of owners Jeff Schons and Mary Jones.
Schons and Jones brought their respective
backgrounds in property development to the Oregon Coast nearly three decades ago. “We moved to Pacific City for a winter get-away in 1990 and never left,” says Jones. In the time since, the pair has done much to put Pacific City on the map. They founded the Pelican Pub and the Inn at Cape Kiwan-da, among a host of other businesses.

Schons is the first to admit that, though the fi-nancial challenges weren’t easy, wait-ing until now to bring the hotel to life was worth the wait. “It took us all of these years to figure out exactly what we wanted,” he says. Jones adds, “We redesigned the hotel over ten or twelve years. We tried really hard to get things exactly right.”Get things right is exactly what they did. The result of their intensive de-sign and build process is not only a stunning hotel, but one uniquely and specifically positioned to help guests truly experience their environment and get the most out of their visit to Pacific City.
Headlands’ 33 Oceanfront Lodge guest rooms and 18 Oceanfront Cot-tages each look out over the Pacific Ocean and Haystack Rock. Private balconies are outfitted with wind-pro-tecting panels and comfortable wood-en chairs. Rooms are appointed with cast iron soaking tubs, gas fireplaces, pillow-top mattresses, and even a bike or surfboard rack to keep your toys tucked easily out of the way. As much thought went into the restaurant as the hotel. Meridian Restaurant and Bar is framed by mas-sive windows overlooking the beach and Pacific City. The light and airy space embodies an immaculate fine dining destination yet still holds the casual, friendly feeling of an Oregon Coast destination. Chef Andrew Garrison, formerly of Jory Restaurant at the Allison Hotel in Newberg, has created a well-round-ed, simple menu based on farm- and
-sea-to-table local foods. “Everything comes to us so fresh,” he says. “All we have to do is season it lightly and cook it properly and it’s delicious.”The hotel is so comfortable and lovely that it would be easy to stay in and relax, which Jones and Schons and the rest of the Headlands staff encourage. But for the developers, a primary goal of Headlands was also to encourage guests to easily be able to immerse themselves in the plentiful outdoor activities that Pacific City is known for. For Schons and Jones, Pa-cific City is about fishing, hiking, crab-bing, dory boating, surfing, beach-combing and more. “We wanted to really help people have adventures here,” says Jones. Rather than just offer a brochure to guests about the opportunities that
surround them, Headlands takesthings a few steps further. AdventureStaff are on duty at a kiosk in the ho-tel lobby, armed with books, maps,bicycles, connections to local guides,and much more. And they’ll do morethan simply point the way. “Our staff will actually take you wherever youwant to go,” says Traci Still, Adven-ture Experience Manager. Just aboutany custom activity you can imaginecan be curated and organized fromHeadlands. “All we’re doing is taking advantageof what is here,” says Jones. What is there is stunning, from thesandy beach of Pacific City to the lux-urious interior of the hotel to the ad-ventures to be had all around.For more information see www.headlandslodge.com.
