Nestled on four acres at American Lake and dotted with
old growth fir trees is Thornewood Castle. Built in 1908 by Chester A. Thorne, this 27,000
square foot manor is of the Gothic Tudor style and is the only one of its kind on the west
coast. Built as a single family residence, Thornewood is now a gracious country inn
that has been lovingly restored.
Walk through the halls where Presidents and dignitaries walked.
Presidents William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt spent the night in our presidential
suite. Roam the grounds and lovely 1/2 acre sunken English perennial garden, swim, fish,
or boat on the beautiful American Lake.
Enjoy watching remarkable sunsets from the hand tiled lakeside
patio. Medieval stained glass window insets adorn the
manor as well as antique furniture and paintings. Whatever your choices, we will pamper
you and make your stay with us a special memory.
