First day of summer 2023. Photo by Bryan Diehl

Greetings from Port Ludlow,

Happy July Everyone –

Hooray!!! Summer is in full swing now. This is that short period of time we get each year where I love getting used to waking up each day with the warmth of the sun shining down, that period of time when you don't have to wonder "is it going to be nice out today" of course there are exceptions but for the most part we should see the big yellow sun and blue skies for a bit.

If you live here in the Northwest you already know this can the best time for a staycation. No better time to explore the Olympic Peninsula than mid-week, whether you just want to get away and relax in our well appointed guestrooms, explore and dine from some of the greatest farms, spend the day on the water with our variety rental boats, or maybe a round of golf then happy hour at the Inn.

You can experience all of these activities and a whole bunch more. I have put together a list of days that we will offer a 25% off rate just you our newsletter readers. There are only a handful of rooms available at these rates so book soon.

Cheers,

Dan Ratigan

General Manager
