"You don't have to go very far to feel that you are a world away from the stresses of everyday life . This is truly soul food! "

Gazing out over the sparkling waters and snow capped mountains of Puget Sound, it is easy to understand why Francis James chose this premiere property of Port Townsend to build his exquisite Victorian mansion in 1889. Perched on a bluff, with a sweeping view of Port Townsend Bay, the romance and elegance of another era still lingers here.

You will find beautifully maintained parlors and guest rooms rich in history and charm, yet maintained with the modern amenities which discerning travelers have come to expect in a first class inn. Our guests are important to us and we pride ourselves in details which make a stay at The James House a comfortable and truly memorable experience. There is something very special about a place where you can truly relax and enjoy the kind of craftmanship that is rare in the fast paced world in which we live. There is good reason that The James House has been named the best inn on the Olympic Peninsula for 13 consecutive years, and voted "Best of the West" by readers of Sunset Magazine.

There are ten rooms available for rent in the mansion, each with a queen bed and private bath. Every room is different and unique. Each is painted in contemporary colors and decorated with beautiful antiques, providing an inviting and comfortable setting to enjoy this beautiful mansion. And yes, wireless internet connection is provided to our guests at no extra charge. A Bungalow and Hideaway on the Bluff are adjacent to the inn, offering a bungalow style lodging experience with the same breathtaking water and mountain views. Homemade cookies are baked daily, sherry is available as an evening aperitif, and a delicious full breakfast is served in the morning.

The outside of The James House is as beautiful as the inside! From early spring until late fall, you can sit quietly enjoy beautiful perennial gardens as well as picturesque water and mountain views. Whether enjoying your morning coffee, reading a favorite book, or sipping on a late afternoon cocktail, you will find that this is indeed, a very special place!

There are so many reasons to visit Port Townsend, but we have listed a few of our seasonal favorites in Special Events.

We look forward to seeing you!
