The Black Heron Inn located adjacent to the magnificent Point Reyes National Seashore wilderness park is an hour’s drive from San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Napa-Sonoma wine country. The Black Heron Inn perched upon a gentle bluff provides guests with sweeping views of the majestic Inverness Ridge and Tomales Bay.
Located one mile north of Point Reyes Station and five miles from the villages of Inverness and Olema, each guest room at the Black Heron Inn provides breathtaking panoramic views. Sunsets are spectacular!
The Black Heron Inn’s wildlife pond is home to herons, bass, lily pads, turtles, mallards, murres, and an elusive river otter family. Fox, rabbits, and deer wander through on their daily rounds. The Point Reyes National Seashore is a birder’s paradise with over 400 species flying through.
The Black Heron Inn is perfect for those who want to be on their own in a peaceful, quiet setting. The Black Heron Inn is also a great place for group retreats and family gatherings.
Wildlife Pond at the Black Heron Inn
Both the Black Heron Inn and its sister property the Blackthorne Inn were inspired by the Sunset book on “How to build a deck” and the “Handmade Houses~A Guide to the Wood butcher’s Art”. Creative craftsmen using redwood, cedar and Douglas fir built this tall structure taking advantage of the views in all directions.
Originally an artist’s studio, the Grand View suite now provides guests with 270 degree views. All of the Black Heron Inn’s bed and breakfast guest rooms provide views reminiscent of the Impressionists’ paintings. Just steps away, our guests may enter the Point Reyes National Seashore wilderness park and experience Mother Nature in all her glory.
Perched upon a gentle bluff, the Black Heron Inn,
is home to stunning views.
On clear nights, the magic of the sky lights up with the stars and the moon setting over the Inverness Ridge. Experience nature’s planetarium from your own deck, view the constellations and see the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, and Orion. Listen to the crickets, the Great Horned Owls, and the tree frogs as you drift off to sleep.
