Time to dream a little! Have you taken your vacation this year? If not…

This getaway for writers is in Inverness, CA, and it is truly inspirational. The Blackthorne Inn will take you out of reality to a magical place where you and nature are only seperated by a pane of glass. The property resembles a tree house, and there are several rooms where you look right out into the forest. In the morning, savor your buffet breakfast in the glass solarium or outside on the 3,500 square foot deck at the base of the building.

If you are going to visit, stay in the “Eagle’s Nest” tower room or if you prefer a balcony, try the “Overlook” room. Both have a great view. Point Reyes National Seashore wilderness park is right there, and the property is only an hour from Napa-Sonoma wine country.
