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.

We had such a great 4th of July on the Island. Ray and Danielle were great hosts and made the Island our own private get-away. The rooms (all have) different personalities and great views. The food was spectacular, and we felt very welcomed and informed. I got to pull the engine cord, and it started!!!!! So glad for the Innkeepers and this delightful gem right here in the Bay.

This place is amazing. Rae and Danielle are really taking it to the next level with their menus, hospitality, and charm. They both have such incredible talent for life, the sea, and the lighthouse! So glad they (are) 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!

A spectacular and unique way to spend a night in the Bay Area. We stayed in the Walter Room in the Foghorn house with all the machinery. The room was comfortable and felt very private with beautiful views. There may or may not have been a ghost…The main house has common areas with a dining room and a lounge plus a game room. The light house itself was always accessible... It's so cool to be able to experience such a disconnected place so close to the big cities and Silicon Valley. Rae and Danielle were amazing hosts - fascinating characters who offered excellent food, stories, and warmth.
