RELAX. REFRESH. RENEW.

A STRESS-FREE VACATION

Is your to-do list too long?

Are you spending too many hours in rush hour traffic? Take some time for yourself, to give your body and mind a rest and simply “be” without stress or a schedule. We have lovely options for personal tranquility, from finding a secluded spot on the beach, walking a trail, enjoying some retail therapy or having a quiet meal. Port Townsend is the perfect place to unwind, unplug and chill out.
