Map & Directions
Directions
Take I-5 to the Thorne Lane exit (Exit #122B ) just south of Tacoma, Washington. Turn west on N Thorne Lane. Go three-tenths of a mile. Please mind the 25 MPH speed limit. Turn right on the first street to the right (N Thorne Lane).
Immediately after turning right off N Thorne Lane (3/10 mile from I-5) you will see the gate into Thornewood Estates. Drive up to the call box on the left.
Enter 023 on the key pad. We will answer and buzz the gate to open. (If you forget the code number to enter, it is shown on the call box, or just scroll the A-Z keys down until you see “Thornewood Castle".)
Enter into Thornewood Estates, following the private road around just past the first speed bump (about 1 block). Turn right down the next driveway.
Please Schedule Your Visit
Please do not come without an appointment or reservation (unless you are on the invited guest list to a scheduled function). We apologize, but as a private residence we need to space out our visitors, otherwise we receive too many walk-up requests to give adequate attention to our current guests. We simply do not have the time or staff to handle unexpected visitors or to preview the venue or overnight rooms before booking. We are also trying to be considerate of our neighbors regarding traffic.
