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.
Breakfasts are delicious and bountiful.
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.

Romantic and adventurous, Blackthorne Inn bed and breakfast awaits your arrival.
The Blackthorne Inn bed and breakfast is well-suited for group gatherings and retreats.
LODGING
Eagle's 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. After 10:00 p.m., the hot tub is private for Eagle's Nest guests. A private bath is located in a separate building across the skybridge.
Overlook
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. Overlook guests may open the living room balcony door and enjoy the warmth from the fire below. A private bath is located across the hall.
Lupine
On the third level is the Lupine Room, a cozy garretted room with a queen size bed, private entrance, and hillside path to the hot tub deck. A private bath ensuite.
Forest View
The Forest View on the first level is our most spacious guest room with private entrance, a queen size four poster bed, CD player, and separate sitting room. One wall is glass, and opens to a private redwood deck. A private bath is located just across the hall.
***For a foursome traveling together, the Forest View may be combined with the Hideaway to encompass the entire first level of the Blackthorne Inn and create a spacious two room suite with private bath for an additional $175. The Hideaway has a private entrance, patio, twin beds, and guest refrigerator.
