Find a glimpse of Whidbey Island as it was at the turn of the century here at the Fort Casey Inn, where this duplex home sits in a lovely position overlooking Admiralty Bay. It's a wonderful home base for days spent hiking, beachcombing, and exploring the island's countless beauties.
The Fort Casey Inn dates back to 1909, with its cottages once serving as quarters for non-commissioned officers at neighboring Fort Casey. Today, the adjacent Fort Casey State Park is one of the most gorgeous spots on Whidbey Island, with its bunkers and batteries, a lovely lighthouse, driftwood-strewn beaches, and awe-inspiring sunset views of the Olympic Mountains across the water. You can walk to the Coupeville Ferry Dock (which connects to Port Townsend) and drive to the Ebey's Landing Bluff Trail (three miles) and picturesque downtown Coupeville (four miles) in a matter of minutes.
As part of the inn, this two-story home enjoys access to grills and picnic tables on the grounds. If you're traveling with a group, the meeting space at Garrison Hall is even available for gatherings and retreats.
As you come home from a day of activity, pause on the front porch and linger with a cold drink and a sweeping view. Inside, you'll be greeted by a comfortable living room warmed by a gas fireplace, an eat-in country kitchen, and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Without a TV present, you'll be free to truly get in touch with your surroundings - although WiFi is provided for your convenience.
