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.

“With no noise except that of seabirds, morning hours pass with only the rustle of the wind and one’s own sighs as the fog retreats to reveal the fabulous view. This place is about quiet retreat.” — Louise Rafkin, San Francisco Chronicle, “96 Hours” Read entire article
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.
Awaken in the morning to an ever changing
view of Mother Nature’s choosing. Enjoy your breakfast,
overlooking the Point Reyes National Seashore from the privacy
of your guest room.
