East Brother Light Station Dinner, Bed & Breakfast

Description

East Brother Lighthouse, or more accurately a Light Station, is a beautifully restored California Victorian Lighthouse Dinner, Bed & Breakfast Inn perched atop an island in the strait that separates San Francisco and San Pablo Bays.

Located 30 minutes from downtown San Francisco, CA, the lighthouse Dinner, Bed & Breakfast is close enough for a weekend jaunt or as a unique complement to your San Francisco/Northern California visit. Once on the island, visitors take in the spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline, Mount Tamalpais, and the Marin coastline.

East Brother Light Station has been an active lighthouse for more than 133 years.  The Inn began operations over 30 years ago as a means of earning money for upkeep of the restored lighthouse and facilities.

Dinner is included in the service, as well as wine, champagne and hors d'oeuvres. The lighthouse offers the rare combination of a “lighthouse dinner, bed & breakfast” and an “island Dinner, B&B,” and is a unique California destination. It's a set menu. Though only a ten-minute boat ride to the island, the lighthouse inn seems to be a world away from the lights of the nearby cities. You can book for up to four consecutive nights (we're only open Thurs-Sun.)

Though the Marin room is the only room with a shower in the room, we can arrange access to a shower for guests staying multiple nights in the other rooms as well. Park at the Pt. San Pablo Yacht Harbor, though it looks a little worn, is a very safe place. The owner is a former member of the US Special Forces, and takes pride in keeping a sharp eye on everything in the harbor.

No children allowed unless you book the whole house and/or special arrangements are made in advance, we are an adults-only establishment for overnight guests.  Because of the communal dinner we serve, children at the table would really change the atmosphere.  We hope you understand.

There is no wired phone service at all on the island.  Cell coverage can even be spotty (even with Verizon).  We don't have computers or internet available for guest use -- coming to East Brother really is like going back in time!  All there is to do is enjoy the food, the views, the wildlife, and the company.
