Overnight Accommodations >> Farmhouse | Granny's | Cabins

Imagine drifting to sleep in a cozy forested setting, in a 19th century farmhouse under a comfy quilt and waking to morning birdsong and fresh country air! Our overnight accommodations for up to 29 people (more if couples share a bed) include the newly restored Farmhouse, Granny's, and three personal retreat cabins in the forest. Tent camping is also available. Additional off-site lodging is available within walking distance of Chinook for up to 45 people, and may be arranged through Guest Services.

The Farmhouse has seven bedrooms offering nine comfortable beds and shared baths (one three-quarter and one full bath) on the second floor, accommodating up to eleven guests. On the first floor is a full kitchen, phone access, living room with wood-burning stove, dining area, and a half bath. In addition, guests have access to a wood-burning Finnish sauna for an additional fee. For details, click here

Granny's, a five minute walk from Berry Hall, offers a homey charm. It has two bedrooms and one full bath on the second floor and three bedrooms and one ¾ bath on the first floor. This provides a total of eleven beds and can accommodate up to twelve guests. On the second floor there is also a full kitchen, dining area and living room with wood-burning stove.

Personal Retreat Cabins Personal Retreat Cabins are located in the forest, close to the Farmhouse. Small and comfortably rustic, all have electricity and heat. "Bag End" includes a small wood stove and meditation loft. "Hermitage" and "Heron" each have a double bed. Showers, restrooms and an outdoor kitchen are provided in a separate building a short distance away. For details, click here

Dining at the Whidbey Institute Chinook Center is a community experience that celebrates the culinary pleasures of food in an atmosphere conducive to conversation.
