Anchorage Inn
2 reviews for Anchorage Inn
Stayed here for the Whidbey Island Marathon , it's an OK place. People that run it are really, really nice and will bend over backward for you....BUT, I really don't care for the cluttered, quilt filled, B and B look....There is no place to sit and mingle with other guests (piano takes up the living room), no hot tub (which I could have used! LOL)...And I guess I'm just burned out on these Inn's that all look alike inside. It's a matter of taste right? Older women will love the decor...I'm ducking now....LOL
On the positive side the breakfast was very nice, and the view from the property(porch and some rooms) is great !
The double threat of a great Victorian with stellar views of the town combined with the endless hospitality (taken several notches above what you'd expect, and absolutely lovely!) of Dave and Dianne combine to make the Anchorage Inn a knock-out in the broad world of B&Bs. This is the first time we stayed in Coupeville, and we will never stay anywhere else. We stayed in the Crow's Nest room, on the third level. Since Coupeville restricted building heights just after the Anchorage Inn was built, the views from the Crow's Nest are not only the highest in Coupeville, but all-encompassing and singularly spectacular. Make sure you see at least one sunset, as they are awe-inspiring. The room itself has the typical B&B charm, but Dave and Dianne go one further by offering free refreshments in the mini-fridge. The magic starts as you enter the front door ~ you're personally greeted and given a tour of the home, and Dave's dry wittiness only adds to the great experience. The Anchorage Inn combines the best of the old-world charm while incorporating modern aspects. Rooms come with cable and a VCR, and the inn supplies a video library in case you feel like cozying up in your room next to the fire. Below in the main rooms, they offer additional refreshments in a mini-fridge, as well as popcorn and hot beverages. Breakfast is simply divine; Dianne provides a nourishing hot meal complete with assorted breads to start, and a fruit cup as a precursor to the main event. In our case, it was a delectable stuffed French toast. One of the highlights of breakfast was when our hosts joined the guests and chatted in the dining room. All in all, light-years beyond expectations of a typical B&B, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here for a visit!
