The space Newly appointed room with all new king mattress, linens & pull out sofa bed. There is a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. And the room is restocked daily with coffee, tea, and toiletries. We’ve been busy making updates to this 1940’s motel since February 2021, and working to implement more sustainable business practices. The rustic nature of Anchor Inn is part of its charm, but it’s not for everyone. The doors are tricky, the 80 year old windows are far from energy efficient, and the cedar trees provide a constant cool dampness. The size of our tight bathrooms hasn't changed since the 40s.
