About
An Oasis At The Edge of The WorldShip Harbor Inn is a quiet and relaxing alternative, located minutes from historic Downtown Anacortes, walking distance to the ferry terminal serving the San Juan Islands and Victoria BC via Port Sidney. Situated on six acres amidst mature cedars and firs, our guests often see deer browsing nearby, eagles or hawks overhead, and many other species supported by the Ship Harbor Wetland immediately below us.
All rooms have water views overlooking the wetland, the waters of Guemes Channel and Rosario Strait, the ferries, and the islands beyond.
We have a wide variety of accommodations, from single queens to full apartments, all with great views. Each room has a small refrigerator and microwave, and some rooms have full kitchens. If you’re travelling with friends, you may wish to consider a two bedroom apartment. The full living room and kitchen gives you a great place to congregate and enjoy the views.
We’re happy to accommodate special situations. We have BBQ areas for your use, and exercise room, and WIFI in every room. Remember to ask us about transport if you’re here for a special event in town.
If you don’t see the room you want, please give us a call. We may be able to arrange availability which is not apparent on this web site.
