The Greenstone Inn has twenty brand new, earth-friendly* units. Every one of them with a breathtaking ocean view, a private balcony overlooking Nye Beach, and stair access to the shore.

Greenstone Inn is three stories high plus underground parking. Yes! There is an elevator. You can rest easy in a structure fully secured by Onity electronic key-card locks.

Every unit has a gas fireplace. All have microwave ovens, mini refrigerators, and coffee makers. Greenstone accommodations include Direct TV and WiFi. No land-line phones.

Choose from studios for 2 or 4, or one-bedroom and two-bedroom units for up to 4. In addition, some units can be conjoined (studio plus one-bedroom unit) to accommodate up to 6 or 8.

An Earth Friendly - Green Facility

*Earth Friendly. Thinking globally - building locally. The new complex incorporates "green" technology such as: Solar-generated electricity Our Place in the Sun Greenstone Solar Energy Production Online Records Hot Water Conservation Falling Film Heat Exchanger Tankless, on-demand, condensing water heaters Energy Conservation Management by key-card docking

Solar Panels by Solar Ki

Greenstone has Energy Star appliances, low-energy compact florescent lighting, and water-saving showers and water-saving dual-option toilets in every unit.

Charging stations for twenty-first century electric vehicles are planned.

The entire project has been conservation mindful. Tear-down materials from the old cottages were recycled as far as possible. Wooden members were salvaged for reuse; if unusable due to mold or deterioration, old wood was disposed of by chipping. Asbestos was responsibly removed and disposed of. The Greenstone Inn blogspot has more photos of the teardown/recycle phase of construction.

Wherever possible, renewable and/or recycled materials were used to build and furnish Greenstone:

• recycled structural steel
• wood-clad doors and window frames
• certified renewable-forest wood used throughout
• low volatile-organic-component (VOC) paints
• Itegra Fabrics: drapery and upholstery fabrics from renewable and recycled materials such as plastic water bottles
• Northwest Carpets new carpeting from recycled materials
• Wood Castle top quality sustainable furniture manufactured locally

Local contractors and labor have been employed in every phase.

Even our Web site is "green!" GreenGeeks is an environmentally clean Web hosting service, powered by Wind generators and feeding the grid at three times the electricity consumed by their servers!

About us. For decades the Viking's Cottages were a favorite of vacationers in the charming Nye Beach section of Newport, Oregon. These picturesque cabins closed for good in December 2007.

The Viking's Cottages have been replaced by the Greenstone Inn, opening May 21, 2010. The Greenstone Inn is a dramatic new complex of 20 units, each with unobstructed ocean view and convenient beach access.
