HISTORY

The Bay House has been an iconic Oregon Coast fine dining restaurant for 45 years.  Steve Wilson has been the sole owner for over 20 years. His wife, Maureen, joined him in partnership three years ago and together they have navigated the transition from the Oregon Coast to Dayton, Oregon.  Originally located on the shore of the Siletz Bay in Lincoln City, Oregon, The Bay House re-located in 2020 to the Salishan Coastal Lodge located in Gleneden Beach, Oregon.  We learned in March of 2024 that our lease would not be renewed and announced we would be relocating to wine country!  Our invitation to our last supper and Farewell Gala occurred on Saturday, October 19, 2024 and it was a day to remember!!  That afternoon, nearly 200 loving and loyal guests were in attendance and a wonderful celebration was enjoyed by all!
