The owners of Captain Whidbey on Puget Sound’s Whidbey Island, brothers Matt and Mike French, tapped architect Eric Cheong to refresh the 112-year-old resort. Join us for a look at the end result.

While most of the renovation was cosmetic, the public area in the main lodge was opened up quite a bit to make it one large space.

The main lodge has 12 cozy guest rooms, each with an ensuite sink, and shared bathrooms.

Across the street are 14 suites, each with a private bathroom and lagoon views.

The founders tasked four Pacific Northwest tastemakers to outfit each of the four cabins overlooking Penn Cove.
