"Built as a single family residence, Thornewood is now a gracious country inn that has been lovingly restored.
Walk through the halls where Presidents and dignitaries walked. 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.
Enjoy watching remarkable sunsets from the hand tiled lakeside patio. Medieval stained glass window insets adorn the manor as well as antique furniture and paintings. Whatever your choices, we will pamper you and make your stay with us a special memory.
Thornewood Castle, history and fairy tales are made from such as this. The ""house that love built"" continues to this day to enchant visitors from far and wide. It stands as a tribute to a man, Chester Thorne, who gave a whole new meaning to the term ""built to last"". The building materials brought around ""the Horn"" from England carry whisperings of the Renaissance past. Materials from the Northwest crafted 100 years ago by workman, who produced only the best quality, mark a labor of love. Wishes from the native American workman who built this grand house on the Pacific Rim whisper ""Goodwill to all who pass this way and protection for the house"" as evidenced by the wish bone sticks hanging around the perimeter of the basement. Love is felt everywhere upon the property and in the house built for Thorne's bride. As years have past, restoration and repairs have continued by Wayne and Deanna Robinson, the current owners. The mood, mystery, love, and history continue on as each guest passes through the 500 year old castle doors. Spend the night as a Bed & Breakfast guest in this romantic, refreshing, renewing setting. Be a part of the history in the ""House that love built"".
400 year old Elizabethan manor in England was purchased by Mr. Thorne and dismantled and shipped brick by brick from England to be included in the building of Thornewood. The famous architect, Kirkland Cutter, was in charge of this most interesting Tudor Gothic project. The crystal windows were made in England. Stained glass panels and chard’s are inset in the window and date 1300 to 1750. You should be looking through them when the snow is falling, magnificent! The staircase as well as the doors were hand hewn from ancient English oak and are held together by wood dowels. Be sure and read the description page for insight into the man who built and the history of this wonderful home. Located on American Lake in Lakewood, WA., Thornewood is only a short drive from Seattle or Tacoma and will make any vacation/trip complete. For those in the Northwest, ""a trip to England"" is only a short drive from home and only requires a reservation.
The sunken ""Secret Garden"" is truly English in every way. Find the gates and you will feel you are stepping into the novel ""The Secret Garden"". The garden was designed by the Olmsted Brothers and exi |
