In the late 1800s the town was a thriving seaport. Today, one of its preserved treasures is the Ann Starrett Mansion. A historic site, this Victorian bed and breakfast is open for tours in the afternoon. Talk about romantic history the house was built as a wedding present by George Starrett for his bride, Ann. Upstairs, traces of Ann's image may be found in the solar calendar painted on the domed ceiling.
Guests can stay in any of nine rooms, most of which contain original furnishings.
Located high atop the Mansion, the Gable Suite is ideal for honeymooners with its tub for two and king-size bed. The Master Suite on the second floor has a canopy bed and a Victorian fainting couch in the sitting alcove. It should be noted, however, that this is an old house. Some walls are thin and the rooms are close together. Port Townsend offers plenty for the couple seeking romance.
