East Brother Light Station Bed & Breakfast Inn

Built in 1873, this beautifully restored California Victorian Lighthouse Inn - perched atop an island in the strait separating the San Francisco and San Pablo Bays - provides a unique California destination.

Our Lighthouse Inn

The island is the perfect choice for an intimate overnight stay or a special weekend event. Each of our five rooms features nautical décor and a beautiful bay view. We look forward to welcoming you soon! 

Epicurean Table

Dinner is four courses of delight, accompanied by wine, a unique and delicious experience you will share with up to four other couples at a community table. Breakfast is no less a work of culinary art.

Impeccable service

Our innkeepers live on the island to ensure you get everything you need. They also provide an overview of island's history and information about restoration efforts.

Location

With the island an hour's drive from downtown San Francisco, relaxation has never been easier. You can immerse yourself in the island's history while enjoying spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline or Mount Tamalpais.

This place is amazing. Rae and Danielle are really taking it to the next level with their menus, their hospitality and charm. They both have such incredible talent for life, the sea and the lighthouse! So glad they arrived to be the next generation lighthouse keepers! Make a reservation. We stayed in the Marin Room - great views on 2nd floor. Downstairs were charming as well. If you are looking for something unique - from the time you arrive to when you leave - you will NOT be disappointed. It was great watching the tides, birds and sealife from our window. Great place to relax - no TV, music or other distractions!

Literally the best thing we've ever done. We were like two nerd kids in a candy shop, and we had such a fun, interesting and interested group of guests to share the island with. I would say we were lucky, but many reviews mention how wonderful all the guests are, so I expect this B&B attracts a certain type of crowd. Rae and Danielle were gracious, knowledgeable and hilarious hosts. It felt like we were at the best summer camp ever. This morning when Rae asked the group if anyone wanted to pull the rip cord on the diesel engine to fire up the old foghorn, I just about thought everyone's head would explode from excitement. Thank you for everything! We will be back!

We had an AMAZING time this weekend! The innkeepers were so nice and made us feel very welcome. After we got to the island, each couple received a DELICIOUS charcuterie board and champagne or sparking cider. Later, they served us a 4 course dinner...with as much wine as we wanted. In the morning, the fruit and homemade quiche were amazing, We stayed in Walter’s Quarters in the old fog horn building, and the view from the room was BEAUTIFUL!!! Overall, our stay was PERFECT, and beyond our expectations! Highly recommended!!!
