Plan your storybook escape with a two-night stay at The Starrett House—named 2025’s Best Bed & Breakfast in Jefferson County and one of Port Townsend’s most beloved Victorian landmarks. With its whimsical architecture, richly layered interiors, and a spiral staircase-turret-fresco combination beyond compare, The Starrett House offers a transportive and deeply restorative experience.

 

You’ll settle into one of the inn’s beautifully appointed rooms; antique details, cozy textures, and thoughtful modern comforts inform your warm and memorable retreat. Mornings begin with a full English breakfast featuring one of the signature Starrett House breakfast casseroles and house made jam. Your day and evening can unfold at a stately pace, allowing you to savor the common rooms of the House and the delights of downtown and uptown Port Townsend, all of which are within oh-so-walkable reach.

 

A highlight of your experience will be a themed high tea—immersive and artfully curated to blend tradition with creativity. Your choices depend on the dates you book—there’s September’s Practical Magic Tea, October’s Tea & Tarot, November’s Exquisite Corpse Tea, or December’s Winter Solstice Tea. Each event offers an array of teas blended just for The Starrett House, delicate finger sandwiches, and house made savories and sweets, all presented with theatrical flair and attention to detail.

 

Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or seeking a unique getaway, this two-night stay paired with high tea at The Starrett House promises a blend of history, hospitality, and indulgence. Choose from one of four Saturday-Sunday weekends:
