About this property

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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This rental is very nice. It is very clean, comfortable, quiet and beautifully decorated. The kitchen has everything you would need. There is a beautiful stained-glass window in the main bedroom and a fireplace in the living room. There are thoughtful touches everywhere. We enjoyed out stay very much.

Absolutely perfect location for a weekend in PT, walkable to everything and nestled into the hillside. Very minimal amenities across the board, would recommend bringing full toiletry kit & kitchen essentials. Dave was super responsive and helpful, even gave us a partial refund when the TV crapped out on us. We will definitely be returning and recommending this place to others!

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.

This place is adorable inside, loved how close it is to town and places to eat. We really enjoyed our time there. The only complaint was the bed. The main room should have a King bed or at least a Queen where you don't roll to the other end. We slept the first night together, but did not get a good night sleep so, we slept the other two nights separately so we could sleep. Once you have a King bed it is really hard to go back to a queen bed, I admit. The place is beautiful and is very well kept! My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

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.

My favorite place to stay in Port Townsend

I love everything about this place. The location is great, it's clean and comfortable. The kitchen is set up for actually cooking (salad spinner, usable knives, veggie peeler, two kinds of ways to make coffee and everything else you need!) We hope to come back again next year

Beautiful place to stay

Wonderful place to stay! The location is amazing, so close to the coffee shops, restaurants, and stores. The outdoor spaces are beautiful. The property is lovely and everything was clean and well-stocked. Communication with the owner was exceptional. We have little kids (ages 6m-8y) and felt very comfortable there. I would highly recommend this rental property.

Exceptional Port Townsend Accomodations

We are from the midwest and were touring the PNW with Port Townsend one of our stops. The Suite at the Fountains was perfect for our three days here, within short walking distance to the marina for whale watching tour and not too far from Olympic National Park. Shops and restaurants were steps away. The suite itself was very private, cozy, and comfortable for two couples. We plan on coming back to see more of the Olympic Peninsula and will book again!

Great Location to enjoy Port Townsend

The location is wonderful - easy walk to enjoy all activities, restaurants and water views. The patio provides a great place to relax and even barbecue if you wish. TV and internet work well. Only downside is the furniture is pretty beat - especially couch. We were able to check in early - so do ask if that would be good for you.

Birds eye view

Wonderfully appointed apartment. It's perfectly situated above the fountain so you look out the expansive windows onto the garden and fountain area or the hillside. It was easy to go up the stairs to uptown or stay in the downtown area. It felt like a little nest in the woods. We have stayed in Port Townsend many times and this apartment is our favorite.

Perfect location in Port Townsend

During our stay it was wild and windy but we were warm and comfortable in this well appointed suite, steps away from shops and restaurants. The kitchen is stocked with quality tableware and just about everything needed to prepare simple meals or a feast. Our host was responsive, thoughtful, and flexible. In the end there was an issue with the VRBO billing- our host quickly sorted it out and had a reimbursement issued. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila and Dave

Host profile image
We are an active and adventurous couple who love to travel and explore. Part of our enjoyment comes from creating our own “home away from home” wherever we go. We love to take part in the communities that we visit. But, we also enjoy returning to our “hidden refuge” for special moments that reconnect us. So…we like being in the thick of it, but we also like our privacy. If you find, as we have, that this experience is sometimes enhanced by having another couple as travel companions, we provide that opportunity…or bring your children and make yourself at home.
