The Thornton House is a real find! Only two rooms in the main house and a Carriage House in the garden so you're not mingling with lots of guests. We stayed in the Carriage House in the garden and it was a weekday off-season so we were their only guests. We were served a magnificant breakfast and lingered over conversation... More

Barb and Charlie made us feel at home. Great breakfasts, beautiful, clean room and bath. Lovely garden, nice neighborhood. Best B&B we've stayed in. More

Barbara and Charlie are perfect hosts! Their home tastefully combines Victorian charm with modern amenities. The bed and bedding were wonderful and I had a great night's sleep. The location is also convenient, just a few blocks to a street with stores and coffee and then not far to walk into the main part of town. Plenty of parking on... More

We stayed 2 nights at Thornton House and from the moment we met Charlie & Barb, we felt like we were home. The location was perfect - quiet yet close to town with a beautiful garden created and maintained by Barb. Much to their chagrin, the deer like it too. We stayed in the cottage which was spotless and fresh... More

We stayed at Thornton House in Port Townsend for our anniversary. We were very familiar with Port Townsend because we normally camp there during the Spring and Summer. However, an anniversary is special, and so is Port Townsend, so we decided to pamper ourselves and stay at a Bed and Breakfast. It is always nerve-racking to stay someplace new on... More

Nicest owners on the planet! Charming Inn and tasty breakfast. Spent a couple of hours wasting time on their balcony drinking their port, eating their freshly made bake goodies and watching the clouds float by. More

Charlie and Barbara are the best hosts from start to finish! We felt totally welcomed, the weather was gorgeous for our first trip to Port Townsend. We had the run of the upstairs as our friends had the other room. We sat out on the upper balcony for coffee in the morning before breakfast, the front porch in the evening... More

My husband and I spent a most enjoyable and relaxing weekend at Thornton House. The sitting rooms are inviting and comfortable; you feel at ease to put your feet up and unwind. The Garden Room was homey and spacious, and we slept well in the comfy king bed. There was a variety of magazines to choose from, and a bright... More

A great choice for our 1st visit to Port Townsend. Charlie & Barb are superb hosts, and it felt like we'd made good friends by the time we checked out. The location is perfect as easy to explore all activities in the historic district. Charlie steered us to great dinners at Silverwater & the Fountain Cafe; but we can't say... More

It goes without saying from reading the other articles, but Thornton House was an amazing place to stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and quite amazing cooks. The morning breakfasts were truly gourmet. Every amenity was covered during our stay. They have chocolates, wine at night for their guests, soda, cookies/brownies or some other treat and tea's 24/7. We would... More
