Two Capes Lookout, a new glamping retreat on the Oregon Coast, is set to open this winter. Situated between Cape Kiwanda and Cape Lookout, the 58-acre property offers a secluded experience while remaining just minutes from Pacific City and less than two hours from Portland.
The retreat features 15 geodesic domes and four mirror cabins spread across a landscape of towering Sitka spruce trees, a historic quarry with a year-round waterfall, and nearly two acres of wetlands. Forty acres of the property remain untouched, preserving native ecosystems and providing a natural habitat for wildlife. Environmental stewardship is a priority, with efforts focused on protecting sensitive wetlands, managing invasive species, and limiting vehicle traffic throughout the property.
Guests can choose between two distinct lodging options. Mirror cabins, designed with floor-to-ceiling reflective windows, offer expansive views and come equipped with heated floors, a wet bar, and private bathrooms. Geodesic domes, available in various sizes, include accessible options and are furnished with high ceilings, heating, sinks, and refrigerators. Dome guests also have access to modern, private bathhouses.
All accommodations feature Oregon-made bath products, coffee and tea selections, outdoor seating, and WiFi. Shared amenities include two large fire pits with views of the coastline and custom-designed furniture for guest use. Initially open Thursday through Sunday, the retreat plans to expand to full-week availability in spring 2025.
The development of Two Capes Lookout involved a team of experts to ensure the vision was brought to life with precision and creativity. The project partnered with renowned professionals, including Studio Campo for landscape architecture, KPFF for engineering, and Office Untitled for architecture. Interior designer Max Humphrey contributed to the cozy yet modern aesthetic, while branding studio Cognoscenti Creative helped shape the guest experience. Construction was handled by I&E, and Q Hospitality Management will oversee operations, ensuring a seamless experience for guests.

Co-founders Anna and Kevin Gindlesperger and their partners Jami Costello and Justin Mueller, Beata and Jae Ko, Katharina Lorenz and Jason Howard, and Karolina and Adam Machnicki envisioned a retreat deeply connected to the land. The five families, who have eight children among them, wanted to create a space that was family-friendly and environmentally conscious, drawing inspiration from their own experiences with the Oregon Coast.
“Tierra Del Mar is more than just a beautiful place to us. It’s where our hearts feel most at home,” shared Anna and Kevin Gindlesperger in a press release. Their passion for the area’s serene beauty and lush forests fueled the transformation of an abandoned quarry and logging site into a retreat where guests can relax and connect with nature.
