  • Inn Details

    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!

    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.

    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.
