Great House in a Great Town
My wife and I loved our stay at the Captain Calhoun House in Port Townsend! It's very cozy and warm for an older house. Everything's updated, especially the fully equipped kitchen which was perfect for us (we cook a lot!). We repurposed one sunny upstairs bedroom as an exercise/yoga studio. Outside features a large fenced-in private yard with grill and patio. Bonus features were a working wood stove and giant claw foot bathtub. The house is impeccably decorated with art, sculptures, and historic books which makes it feel truly lived in.It was perfect for my 10-week remote work stint. The office provided a large and sturdy desk/chair setup suitable for my dual-screen workstation, with door for privacy during calls. Internet service was fast and reliable.The location is ideal in the quiet historic "Uptown" area with shops and restaurants nearby. Just a 10-minute walk to the beach, harbor, and downtown. Downtown is full of quaint shops, bars, and restaurants, and the town is blessed with numerous parks and green spaces. Port Townsend has an extensive military/maritime history so walking through the shipyards or along the beach were some of our favorite evening strolls. Clear days offer stunning views of Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier.Weekend getaways are convenient, with Seattle, the San Juan Islands, and Victoria, BC all accessible by ferry.The Captain Calhoun House lived up to its description, and we would gladly return for another extended stay.
