Property Description
Nestled on four acres at American Lake and dotted with old growth fir trees is Thornewood Castle. Built in 1911 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. Stephen King's "Rose Red" mini series was filmed here, as well as the move "Dairy of Ellen Rimbauer, My Life at Rose Red". We have lots of interesting stuff about the movies. 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. Medieval stained glass window insets adorn the manor as well as antique furniture and paintings. Whatever your choices, your stay with us will be a special memory.
