Fodor's Expert Review Thornewood Castle Inn and Gardens
8601 N. Thorne La. SW, Lakewood, Washington, 98498, USA
Spread over 4 lush acres along beautiful American Lake, this 27,000-square-foot, Gothic-Tudor-style mansion built in 1908 has hosted two American presidents (William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt) and surrounds current guests with medieval-style stained-glass windows, gleaming wood floors, large mirrors, antiques, fireplaces, and hot tubs. From the lakeside patio and sunken garden—designed by the Olmsted brothers—you can meditate on the spectacular sunsets.
PROS
- castlelike ambience
- lively events
CONS
- one of the more expensive properties in the area
- in a sort of no-man's-land between Tacoma and Fort Lewis
- often fully booked on summer weekends for weddings
