“History abounds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

A favorite get away of ours Ft Worden offers a step back in time set along the rugged coastal beauty of the entrance to the Puget Sound. Most of the military facilities were constructed in the early 1900s and reamin in excellent condition. Officers and NCO quarters and barracks have that authentic late Victorian feel. The Park offers many interesting historical artifacts, from coastal gun batteries placed stategically in defense of the Sound to the old Light House. Long walks along the beach, hiking up and along the gun implacements and touring the park's museums provides unique and interesting adventures.

Check in was efficent and the park's staff friendly. Prices are a little on the high side but understandable considering the environment you are surrounded by. We will return.

“True Bliss”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in the "Bliss House" at Fort Worden State Park. My two daughters (ages 7 &9) had an incredible time. The house was perfect for what we were looking for. There was a one bedroom and then a separate room with just a single bed where my 9 year old slept. The kitchen and living area were very spacious. Best of all was the AMAZING view. We were on the bluff over looking the most beautiful coast (the Admiralty inlet). Sunrise was a sight to see. The birds in the morning were aplenty.
Bring your flashlights if you have kids. My girls explored every battery in the park. One day we biked and the next we hiked. After stop at Waterfront Pizza downtown Port Townsend. Good Stuff!

“Worden is Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Three of us stayed in the three bedroom unit 336 for two nights and it was very spacious and clean. The house is right next to the hiking trails which gave it a woodsy, faraway feel. The grounds of the state park are beautiful, with great views every where you look and deer coming through in the morning. The lighthouse is a fun walk, and the beach is perfect for sunset strolls. Port Townsend is a ten minute drive, with lots of places for eating (if you don't bring food) and shopping. Overall, we loved our time there and hope to go back soon.

“Fort Worden Houses are Not that bad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2009

They are old, but they are wonderful !!! If you stay in the officer row ( besides the brick house) you will have 2 bathrooms. Don't be afraid of dated furniture,,, The park has much more to offer then it's furniture. Fort Worden is such a nice place to go to !! Wonderful surroundings, just a great place. If you can not afford to stay at the park, then pitch a tent or stay in town.

“Castle is ridiculously overpriced - strangers walking in on us”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2007
1
person found this review helpful

I love the Port Townsend area and the Fort Worden location is outstanding. However, do Not stay at the Castle unless you don't care about strangers peering directly into your windows, taking pictures of you through your windows and even opening your front door and walking directly into your dining area. There is no indication for the large numbers of tourists that walk by that the property is at all private - this is not what I'm willing to pay $200 per night for.
