Wow! We had a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to coming back! The rooms are all beautifully decorated in unique styles, staff was helpful in planning our meals, activities, and avoiding ferry problems! Breakfast was amazing and delicious. My husband was always trying to jockey for another scone. We loved sitting on the front porch enjoying a glass of wine, and the beautiful view of this amazing town. This is a hidden gem of a place. I am so glad we found it!

We just had a great weekend at The James House! It has a fabulous location and a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Our room was lovely (we stayed in a big suite-like room downstairs). I loved the charming decor and loved having a big sitting area, bedroom, and separate entrance. The view of the water, sailboats, and ferry boats was amazing. The scones are the best we've ever had, loved the souffle', and chocolate chip cookies. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

My partner and I spent three nights at The James House this past month and were so pleased that we just had to write a review to let others know about this inn. It has a great location where you can just park your car and walk, and we really appreciated that aspect. The views are amazing from the inn and the whole place is amazingly and lovingly maintained. We had a wonderful breakfast, and had a chance to meet some really nice folks from all over the country! The nice thing about this inn is that if you want privacy...you can have all you want. If you want to be social, there is opportunity for that. We liked having the balance between the two. The James House feels very upscale without being stuffy and cold. Quite the contrary, we found it to be very inviting and comfortable. We felt that it was a very good value and we will highly recommend it to our friends.

A friend and I (a couple of old ladies) stayed in the Gardener's Cottage and were delighted. We don't climb stairs well any more, and this provided a good way to avoid them, with a flat pathway to the separate building, which also had a covered outside patio. Breakfast was sumptuous, very good, and generously and willingly packaged to go. Highly recommended.

Our rooms were in the basement (living room and bedroom - both huge), and had a separate ground level entrance. What is lacked in view it more than made up for in space and comfort. There is a selection of movies and our room had a TV with a built-in VCR (the TV was small). At breakfast we were given no choice, but the quiches served on the two mornings were tremendous. One of the staff chased down a dinner reservation for us one evening and also provided a great recommendation for a second meal. We will stay there again.

My husband and I stayed in the Bridal Suite at the James House Bed and Breakfast for two nights during the Port Townsend Victorian Festival. We loved the authentic old fashioned atmosphere very, very much! We couldn't believe how lovely the views of the bay were from the many windows in our room and our separate sitting room! We could see the pretty gardens from our room with the many daffodils, hyacinths and camelias in bloom. Our own fireplace kept us cozy at all times. My husband enjoyed reading while reclining on the chaise lounge by the window. The two breakfasts that we had were very delicious and filling! The friendly innkeeper is a fantastic cook and gave us excellent service. She told us many stories about Mr. James and his house. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the James House and can't wait to return! Port Townsend is a darling Victorian town and very welcoming to tourists. I recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone wishing to enjoy peace and quiet, great food, comfy rooms and lovely antique surroundings!

Outstanding in every way. Port Townsend is a great place to spend time and this is the place to stay. I have stayed in many places in Port Townsend as this is my favorite getaway spot, and The James House is by far my favorite place to stay. Great views, it is within walking distance of everything, and it is impeccibly maintained. The staff is warm, helpful, and very professional. The breakfast is delicious and something I look forward to every time I come. It is just a great experience in every way!
