The space Cottage 9 - The Eagle's Nest Find a wonderful retreat for a couple or a solo traveler at The Eagle's Nest, a studio-style cottage at Whidbey Island's Fort Casey Inn. It's the perfect setting for days spent hiking, beachcombing, and lingering outside on your porch to sip drinks in the golden hour light. 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 beautiful 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 cottage 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. There's a welcome simplicity to this studio, as it focuses on the essentials for a memorable stay. You'll have a kitchenette (with a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker) for storing and prepping drinks and snacks, a comfortable bed, a bathroom, and complimentary WiFi throughout. There's no TV to distract you here, so you're free to immerse yourself in your serene island surroundings. Things to Know Check-in time: 4:00 p.m. Check-out time: 10:00 a.m. There is no washer/dryer.
