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 lovingly restored by the Mirau family.

Walk through the halls where Presidents and dignitaries walked. President William Howard Taft spent the night in one of our rooms. Roam the grounds and lovely 1/2 acre sunken English perennial garden, or beachcomb, eagle watch, swim, fish, or boat on the beautiful American Lake.

Enjoy an extensive library while watching remarkable sunsets from the hand tiled lakeside patio. Antique stained glass windows adorn the manor well as antique furniture and paintings. Whatever your choices, we will pamper you and make your stay with us a special memory.
