Thornewood Castle Inn and Gardens Review
Spread over four 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. Among the exquisite details inside are medieval stained-glass windows, gleaming wood floors, large mirrors, antiques, fireplaces, and hot tubs. From the lakeside patio and sunken garden you can meditate on the spectacular sunsets.
