Anchorage Inn

Three friends & I recently stayed at the Anchorage Inn B&B, in Coupeville, and very much enjoyed our stay. Dianne & Dave were so accommodating — we had a late check-​in time, and Dave was still there to greet us. The rooms were Victorian-​cozy, and the lobby & dining area were warm and welcoming. We had an early morning seminar to attend, so could not partake of the breakfast offered by the innkeepers, but we were able to relax with a cup of coffee, at the breakfast table, before we left. Thanks Dianne & Dave for a wonderful home away from home!

Loved our time in this beautiful B&B. We stayed here because we couldn’t find anywhere farther south on the Island, closer to the Langley event we were attending, as everything was booked up… but sometimes that works out well, because we wouldn’t have discovered this lovely spot or enjoyed strolling in Coupeville otherwise!
I only wish we’d had another day there. I wanted to spend some time sitting on the porch reading… then relocate to the living room to peruse magazines… and also spend time sitting up reading in the cozy nook in my room. As it was we had time to wander and shop in town, and had coffee and pastry at a nice little shop on the street.
The most COMFORTABLE bed I’ve ever slept in, warm welcome and hospitality, beautiful dahlias and other flowers in vases everywhere, and a delicious breakfast with convivial guests.
We will be back! :)

In a Victorian style house finished in 1991, Anchorage Inn B&B is a warm and friendly place. We stayed one night, since there isn’t much to do in Coupeville, and enjoyed our time on Front Street and relaxing in the room.
The wi-​fi worked fine and having a private bath was nice. The TV cable package is a basic one, but who goes to Coupeville to watch TV? They had lots of DVD and VHS movies available.
The breakfast was very well presented, and was good, but not great. If they had a granola with yogurt course option, it would have been complete.
This place is the closest of the B&B’s on Main street to Front Street. With such a tiny old-​town, you’ll be finished looking and shopping within two hours.
I think we’ll return during a deep and dark December day.

I was worried when I couldn’t find other accomodations on the island and when I left I’m so glad it worked out that way.
The owners have accommodated a lot of racers in the past and know the marathon drill. I stayed in the Crows nest suite which is the highest point in Coupeville. Wonderful view, private bath, large movie collection to choose from with new movies to stay in and watch, gas fireplace, new amenities, and the inn keepers are gems.
If I do the Whidbey island marathon again, I will be booking this one asap.
I will also stay an extra night and enjoy the place a little more as there is so much to take in from this town, the shops, the views, the hot quiche breakfast here at the B&B.
I thought the inn was really old and possibly a «fixture» to the area but found that it was only 25 years old and they had to follow the towns regulations to build it… it is amazingly done. The crows nest is HUGE, with two sitting areas and a dining nook.

Good food, warm friendly hospitality. Made me feel like we were visiting an old friend. Inn is clean and well maintained

My husband and I went to Whidbey Island for an overnighter getaway and if you want quiet, no city noise, uninterrupted time together, there are many places here that are great for day trips by WA Ferry or road trips for overnighters (enjoy while gas is still affordable) We sure did! The accomodations were nice and affordable, clean and comfortable. We will definitely recommend the Anchorage Inn to our friends and come again!

This was my second time staying 3 nights at the Anchorage Inn. The Binders give an art student discount which makes staying there very affordable. There are lots of special touches (hot tea/​coffee available 24/​7, fresh cookies, popcorn etc). The rooms are quiet, the location great and the hosts very accomodating, especially to my myriad of food allergies. The breakfasts are fabulous and rumor has it they don’t repeat for 14 days.
Generally I am not a big fan of B&B living. I hate being cheerful in the morning!!! B&Bs remind me of dorms for adults, but if one has to stay in a B&B you can’t do better than this.

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!

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 décor… 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 !
