Very good location but inside not great. Needs a clean out of old utensils, inadequate dishes and pans , huge collection of unnecessary cleaning supplies (2 irons and broken coffee equipment).Canât watch TV sitting up as no bed headboard; impossible loft,and ladder takes up entire floor space; unpleasant dining area, etc. etc. Generally a disappointment but could easily be improved.
Quiet, secluded location with bald eagles nesting high above the cabin. Cabin is charming however windows are fixed in closed position lacking fresh air on warm days/nights. No ac.
Great little cabin in a small grove of trees. Lots of wildlife and privacy. We watched a bald eagle eating dinner in one of the trees, walked to the bay, enjoyed hearing the frogs.
Nice weekend getaway. Great location, tons of things to do, and nice respite from the hustle bustle of regular life. Felt like deep in the woods, but also close to everything.
Very small unit. Dining table tiny and virtually unusable unless youâre a midget. Kitchen was adequate, upper bedroom impractical to use. Small details missing such as more than one washcloth, bathroom mat needing cleaning or replacement
This is a lovely place we will certainly look up again when spending time in the area. It comes with everything you need, is 10 min from everything you may still want, and has lots and lots of privacy. We arrived very late and probably woke all neighbors backing back out of their driveways; make sure you go slow enough down the street for your GPS to keep up in real time to find the right entrance. Absolutely no worries once you get there. Thank you for having us.
This cottage is cute and in a great location but without the water views suggested by the title Penn Cove Overlook and the views shown in the photos. The weather was warm while we were there, but the windows were in poor repair. One could not be opened at all and another could not be closed.without pushing from outside.
Wonderful, secluded little getaway! Tara Vacation Rentals weâre extremely helpful - we had difficulty with the front door access code, but received immediate help with a quick phone call! Canât wait to stay againđđ
Had a great weekend at the cabin! Had everything we needed and felt really comfortable. Location is great in Penn Cove and we really liked the ability to walk down to the beach as well as being so close to Coupville and Ebbeys Landing. Would book again!
Wow our cabin was amazing. Itâs tucked away and very quiet. The cleanliness was 5 star. We had Every amenity in kitchen, nice linens, extra throw blankets. We enjoyed the porch for hours. We even got to pick wild blueberries and made a jam. We were there for a wedding in Coupville and travel was easy. Thank you for a wonderful memory.
Cosy little hideaway, we totally enjoyed our time here. Pretty well equipped, except no tea towels, but there are quite a few design miscues that impacted our stay. Too many to list. Place was very clean although lifting a floor rug and then looking under the bed was a mistake. As it often is, I guess?
Cabin was cozy and clean. The yard was a bit over grown with bushes that have tons of thorns on them which made for a difficult time with kids. The kids did love the loft though.
The cabin is advertised as having beach access which is not the case. We would definitely go back though.
Check-in process was super slick. Got a text the place was ready and hadd the email with the check-in process. Super convenient way to communicate with the host, either by calling or texting. They were super responsive. Highly recommend staying here. We plan to try and schedule another trip. This place is smack in the middle of the island so it's convenient to make day trips to other locations.
We had a great time staying in this cabin. It had all essentials for a stay and also for cooking a light breakfast.
It was lil tricky to find this place.
But the property manager was helpful. The texting got me quick and prompt responses for my queries.
It would have been better to come in summer as it was cold to roam around and enjoy the beaches and lookout points in Feb first week.
Enjoyed the privacy of this little cabin. Close to main roads but you wouldn't know it. Amazing sunrise view from the covered porch. Enjoyed all the birdsong . surprised how much there was at this time of year. Cabin had cobwebs in doorways and some garbage outside of cabin. Could use better places to hang coats. But overall it was very nice.
We recently came to stay at the Penn Cove cabin. I cannot say enough about this peaceful and beautiful place! It was perfect for two! We enjoyed morning coffee and sunrise right from our porch and used the propane fire pit every morning. The propane stove inside is beautiful and cozy. The space is small, no false advertising here but they have made great use of every nook and cranny. The pond, the birds, the view-breathtaking! We arrived a little earlier than expected, gave them a quick call and were able to check in right away. Just an awesome experience over all and we would definitely stay again!
Our stay at this cabin was perfect. It was impeccably clean and had all the amenities you would need to feel at home. Very cozy with the fireplace and even though it is on the property with another home, it feels very private. And we also enjoyed the propan fire pit in the porch. We enjoyed exploring the beach near the house (you did have to walk alongside the bigger home and that felt ok since no one was staying there, don't know how it would be if there were guests) and it was close to Oak Harbor for dinner and Whidbey Island Farm and Market. Overall, our weekend was perfect. The hosts are very responsive and accomodating. Highly recommend!
We loved our little get away, close to coupeville. Itâs perfect for 3 people max I would say. It was very cozy and set amongst the tall trees.. beautiful birds and even a neighborhood eagle.
The only thing was the two blow up mattresses we noticed had holes in them ( we tried one, then the other with no luck) but we managed to share the 2 beds ok. ( The propane was out for the gas grille fireplace ) yes you have to walk through the owners yard to get to the beach but they are super friendly and at first it felt strange ( like intruding) but really it was fine)
This cabin was absolutely wonderful! Such a serene location abundant with nature. My only hiccups that I think would be beneficial for others to know: the beach access is awkwardly placed so that you have to walk through the main properties backyard. We lucked out and since there were no renters that weekend, we avoided some awkward interruptions. Also, the climb down is pretty treacherous and not for little kids or the elderly. The cabin also did not have much in the way of cooking. Salt and pepper yes, but no oil and no lid for the cooking pan. There was no first aid kit or band aids of any kind for that matter. I only noticed this because I cut myself in accident and had to drive to the store. No toiletries and most importantly, no dryer!! That's a big one for me, but luckily there was a wall heater I was able to use like a blow dryer...I know, desperate times call for desperate measures. That being said, it is definitely worth renting, just beware you need to be fully prepared or you will be running to the store quite often
Beautiful tucked away property. The trees held lots of birds and there were cute little bunnies running around. It was a really nice, peaceful weekend away.
