Whidbey Island is emblematic of the American West: the heart-stopping panoramas surrounded by the Pacific, the hope and promise of a fresh start and fertile soil, the reverence for the land and its inhabitants. Whidbey Island is 14,000 years old. It’s approximately 55 miles long along the road, or 37 miles as the crow flies, and the history of the island has been written primarily by those who’ve lived it, with impeccable documentation and a deep devotion to historic preservation, primarily via citizen historian volunteers and oral histories.
Captain Whidbey itself sits nestled among old growth fir trees on the shores of Penn’s Cove, built from hundred year old madrona logs, or maybe fir logs (keep reading). Arrival by ferry is the recommended way. It sets the tone for the functional, utilitarian beauty of the Island and the Inn, where the exalted views are built into the design and regarded as an essential human need. First glimpses of the Island deliver changing landscapes.
Fully reimagined 6-acre waterfront property on Penn Cove with 30 historic rooms, suites and cabins.
Private lagoon and dock, the latter with sail and seaplane access.
Chef's garden, library, 112-year-old fireplace, cocktail phone, bicycles, row boats, lawn games and more.
