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
craftsmanship 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 15 consecutive years, voted
"Best of the West" by readers of Sunset Magazine, and is
the Olympic Peninsula's top rated lodging in "Northwest Best Places".
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 your favorite 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.
Please check back frequently as we are constantly updating our list!
We look forward to seeing you!
