Downtown Port Townsend - Hillside Penthouse Vacation Rental

A Suite at the Fountain is your own private getaway--a penthouse apartment in the trees--but in the middle of the downtown.

Please visit our website for details, reviews, and local events and attractions.

Located in the heart of Port Townsend’s National Landmark Historic Downtown.
Park your car and say goodbye to it. You are steps away from the award winning Rose Theatre, intimate pubs and clubs, and restaurants that specialize in Northwest cuisine as well as exotic fare from around the world. The most eclectic assortment of shops you can imagine. Gorgeous antiques and local arts and crafts. Historic buildings, parks, beaches and hidden places to discover. The very best of Port Townsend's downtown accommodations.

Quiet, spacious, modern, comfortable—with all of Port Townsend's amenities within walking distance.

Our penthouse apartment looks out at a view of the Haller fountain from one bedroom, the other looks across to the historic Terry Building and Silverwater Cafe. Both bedrooms offer queen size beds and handsome antique furnishings. The bathroom is commodious and features a shower and soaking tub (bubbles provided).

The kitchen is glorious at first sight, and you will find it convenient for preparing the simplest to the most complex meal. Fully appointed, including Fiestaware for six and crystal wine glasses. The living and dining areas provide comfortable modern furniture, fabulous Port Townsend art, an entertainment center and cozy wood fireplace.

Enjoy a large deck nestled against the verdant hillside, outdoor furniture and Weber BBQ in total privacy. You won’t believe you are downtown Port Townsend.

High speed wireless Internet is available throughout the suite and, if you find that you must accomplish some work during your stay, step into the quiet, detached office, complete with computer and library.

This treehouse suite is so lovely. Such a private space in the center of town with restaurants, the theatre, and the water within a block, yet looking out the full wall of windows off the living room, you would swear you were in the woods. The suite has a mid century vibe to it with an open floor plan, fireplace for those chilly evenings and lovely private deck to sit on. We had deer every day off of our deck. I love the privacy yet proximity to everything. Our favorite place in Port Townsend.

Lovely property

My family of four had such a nice time here. It's a nice size, and the location is perfect. We walked all over town from there with little kids because it's close to everything. We loved the big windows overlooking the deck, where we could see a fuzzy little baby deer who visited every evening! Property owners were very easy to communicate with and even offered flexibility with check in/out times. I'd happily stay there again.

Excellent Location in Downtown Port Townsend

We enjoyed our stay very much as it was extremely convenient to walk to all of the shops downtown. Was fun to be able to look out the windows and see the activity on the street below. Bedrooms are a nice size with comfortable beds and apartment was very clean and well organized. Our hosts were communicative and provided easy to follow check in instructions with some flexibility on the check in/out times. The kitchen is well stocked and has fun colors of Fiestaware for meals. Note that if it's raining, the wood deck can be very slippery and though the description states hot tub, there was not a hot tub there. They do have a bathtub in a spacious bathroom. All in all would recommend for a lovely getaway! You are right in the heart of downtown and uptown is a quick walk up the fountain stairs, which the apartment overlooks.

Holiday Bliss

Our Thanksgiving holiday was better than we hoped for. The location was perfect, for spontaneous trips walking around town. We love being so close to the waterfront. We could spend time with our family on Thanksgiving and then have space to enjoy time with just my husband, daughter, and I. We especially love having a 2nd bedroom for our 9 year old daughter. The apartment was spacious and well appointed for all our needs.This was our best visit. an forhappy

Cozy, comfortable home in a perfect location

Wow - what a great stay for our annual vacation with our friends. We (4 in total) came to Port Townsend for the Kinetic Sculpture Race and found this gem right in the heart of the historic district. We are usually "in the woods" and "off the beaten track" vacationers so staying in town isn't our typical digs. No worries though. This spot is unique; a second-floor rental, tucked into a lush hill that offers privacy and an outdoor deck surrounded by green. And even though we were in town during a festival, the rental was quiet, making it a great place to unwind. The house offered everything we needed; comfortable beds, a well-appointed kitchen for cooking, and cozy spaces for visiting. A bonus was the separate office where I took a Zoom call without bothering others. The location is great. Everything we needed was within easy walking distance; the Wine Seller, Aldrich's Market, and more restaurants and bars than we could visit in one weekend. We especially enjoyed the Saturday Farmer's Market and strolling around town to look at all the Victorian Architecture. Initially, we were a bit concerned about the stairs to get to the unit, as one in our party was 6 weeks out from hip replacement, but the stairs are very sturdy with good handrails, so they presented no problem. On-street parking in front of the unit was also easy to obtain. We had a great time and this unit ranks as one of our favorites. Hoping to return in the future!

Fantastic

The penthouse suite was everything my friends and I had hoped it would be. The location was perfect, came out of the building and a block away from the main street. Also close to the Saturday Farmers Market. It was clean and had everything we needed. Dave, our host, was a great communicator and helpful in recommending places to eat. I look forward to the next time I can visit PT and stay there. Highly recommended it.

Mid Century Gem

The Suite at the Fountain is our favorite place to stay in Port Townsend, a hidden mid century gem in the heart of downtown. The fireplace is lovely on a cool night and the openness of the living room and kitchen to the deck gives the feel of being in a treehouse in the forest. Don’t be surprised to find deer nestled in the bushes off the deck. The Suite is just steps from the wonderful Starlight Theatre and delicious restaurants. Take the strenuous flight of stairs on the other side of the property to the uptown Farmers Market and gorgeous views of the Sound. Dave and Sheila are wonderful hosts and we look forward to many more trips to this delightful Suite.

Loved, loved, loved the location. So close to everything. We just parked the car and walked everywhere. This is a lovely older apartment that is well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with pretty much every utensil/dish you could need. The listing does say there is a gas grill...but there wasn't. That was really okay with us. It was a no cooking weekend. There are so many great places to eat out in PT.
