On a hillside perch, the rambling wooden inn is like sleeping in the treetops” Sunset, August 2005 Blackthorne Inn bed and breakfast is nestled in a wooded canyon near the charming village of Inverness, California an hour from San Francisco and the Napa-Sonoma wine country. The Blackthorne Inn bed and breakfast provides intimate overnight accommodations in a beautiful rustic setting adjacent to the magnificent Point Reyes National Seashore wilderness park in northern California. This unique structure resembles a giant elegant treehouse. Crafted from redwood, cedar and a 180-foot Douglas fir cut and milled on the site, the Blackthorne Inn bed and breakfast rises through fragrant bay trees to sunny decks on four levels. A generous buffet style breakfast is provided each morning. Guests may dine privately or together on the 3,500 square foot deck which surrounds the main level, or inside in the glass solarium whose walls were once doors in the old San Francisco railroad depot. The adjoining living room houses a great stone hearth, and is comfortably furnished for fireside evenings with a good book or music and friends. The Eagles Nest -This tower room with full size bed affords its guests a spectacular view of sky and trees. For those who enjoy being greeted by the dawn, or the moon and the stars, the Eagle's Nest is "magical" according to Simon and Schuster. A private bath is located in a separate building across the skybridge. Also located on the third level is the Overlook; a light airy room with a queen size bed, stained glass windows, and two small balconies; one that overlooks the main deck high in the tree tops, the other overlooks the main living room.
