The Inn at Penn Cove
-
The historic Jacob Jenne House (1889) in Coupeville, WA, on Whidbey Island, is the home of the Inn at Penn Cove and The Cove Thai Cuisine.
Janjira Rattanasint and Aroon Saivaree (kneeling) are the proprietors of The Cove Thai Cuisine, housed since July 2008 in the Jacob Jenne House, home of the Inn at Penn Cove. The Buddhist monks standing behind them had just performed a traditional Thai blessing ceremony for the restaurant when this picture was taken.
The Blue Room has a calm decor and is off the main street.
The quilt on the main bed in the Wisteria Cottage was handmade by innkeeper Gladys.
The Blue Room's bath provides quite an imposing backdrop to several morning routines.
The Wisteria Cottage has a small but very functional kitchenette with coffeemaker, toaster oven and microwave.
Jacob's Room is oriented to the morning light.

At the Inn at Penn Cove, we aim to provide you with a thoroughly restoring experience in our cozy Victorian oasis. The rooms are rich in the confident elegance of the Victorian era, but with touches of simplicity and modernity. The decor mirrors the Victorian love of detail and the exotic, without the smothering excess the Victorians favored. The calming effect of our Victorian oasis is enhanced by the off-street patio between the Jenne House and the Wisteria Cottage, and the presence of The Cove Thai Cuisine on site. Come to the historic seaport village of Coupeville, where you can still visit the past on beautiful Whidbey Island in the heart of Puget Sound "where the sky meets the land and the sea".

Business traveler. Love Coupeville gorgeous seaside town with outstanding scenery. quiet and remote ! The concierge concept was alien to me- the concierge was very very nice and helpful, but i did not expect to have to meet someone to get into my room- scheduling this was a bit awkward as i did not anticipate having to meet someone at an exact time (though he was quite accommodating- the problem was on my end). also i had wanted a "BnB" experience- parlor, commune with fellow travelers, breakfast together etc. None of tat here - just a nice solo cottage. The Breakfast coupon he gave me was useless for business traveler since the breakfast place didn't even OPEN till 9 or 10 ! Nice place to stay in coupeville though and i would stay again, just with different expectations.

The owners of this facility are maximizing their income, while minimizing their costs, at the expense of their guests comfort. The cottage had three (3) electrical violations (IE. bare wires where an electric baseboard heater was removed, etc.); an access pannel between the front bedroom and the kitchen had screws sticking out about 1" (that could cut you, or snag and rip your clothes); The soap-shampoo-conditionner dispenser in the bathroom was not properly fastened to the wall (it's just sitiing on the tub, and you have to lift a heavy, bulky despenser with one hand while you push the dispenser button(s) with your other hand); the only way to ventilate the cottage is to prop open the one operable window with two sticks (the other seven are painted shut); also (female travelers take note) this window has no lock on it, so at night while you are sleeping, or during the day when you leave the room, it as not securable; the second bed is a cheap metal framed folding futon, sutiable only for small children; the kitchen had a thin film of grime on all surfaces (yuck), the kitichen also had a microwave and hot plate, because the built in stove is inopperable; the purple, blue, and black linens and bedspread look like they were "goth" teenager hand me downs; the two "reading" chairs are folding sling chairs that are almost impossible to get out of once you sit down; and finally the vinyl covered MDF furniture and cheap daylight flourescents that cast a surgical green glow throughout give the cottage a early 60's boarding house feel. The only saving grace was the breakfast coupons the the manager (reluctantly) provided us, to eat down the street at the Knead & Feed Cafe. We think that BedandBreakfast.com should seriously consider de-listing this facility. Al K

We stayed in the patio room and had a wonderful experience. The bed was comfortable, the room very clean and loved the opportunity to sit on the patio in the evening with some cheese and a bottle of wine. The value is wonderful!

August 28, 2011
The Inn at Penn Cove was perfect for a night away. The patio room is cozy, but has everything you need. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a private bath. It's a very quick walk to downtown Coupeville, much closer than I'd imagined, and the breakfast at Kneed & Feed was great. My favorite part of the stay was having a private entrance which attached to a patio. Mike was kind enough to mention how great the stargazing from the patio was, and we truely enjoyed it! I would stay here again.
2.2 out of 5Bed and Breakfast without the breakfast
May 12, 2011
The patio room where I stayed was very adequate for my needs since I was attending a weaving school and did not spend much time in the room. It was quiet. I never saw anyone the whole time I was there except when Mike picked me up from the weaving school. There was no TV or refrigerator or any other amenities. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The patio was delightful with its many blossoming trees around, except that it was cold and rainy except for one day.
4.4 out of 5Off season gem.

If you're looking for a quiet, private stay, this is the perfect place to stay. However, there is no "breakfast" in the b&b. The Thai restaurant that is attached is FABULOUS!

We took two rooms at the Inn. The manager provided a courtesy ride from our airport shuttle stop to the Inn. In the Blue Room, the hot water is plentiful and fast, but when you turn on the cold water, it runs very hot for a few minutes before you actually get cold water. We were surprised to learn that this B&B does not provide breakfast, but the nearby Knead & Feed restaurant has a great breakfast. After checking out, I notice this website mentions a card for breakfast at Miriam's is included; this is a surprise. Had we known, we would have looked for Miriam's and given it a try. The Thai restaurant on the premises is awesome for lunch or dinner.
