Lock in a great price for The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast - rated 9.4 by recent guests.

to get started.

The room is comfortable and inn keepers are so kind. Staying there is enjoyable.

Varience, USA

Incredible hospitality and attention to detail. The breakfast and evening snack was awesome. Loved the personal touches and our host told us the story well. Great experience. Main thing is it was pretty expensive and not sure would spend that much in the future. Also, the room was quite small (but well laid out and incredible view) and there weren't pictures on the website. Each room is quite unique.

Fred, USA

Clean and nicely decorated.. Friendly and helpful staff.

Izumi, USA

The owner Rick and his staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Laurie, USA

The Inn was within easy walking distance of Cannery Row & it's attractions & the streets feel safe. The staff were attentive & had great recommendations for places to eat & things to see.

Elysse, Australia

The staff, the food, the view and the home/building were all excellent! Very beautiful

James, USA

Very interested in how quality of building was better than homes built since after WWII. Great views and would book a lifetime in this great home! Learn history by booking stay so you can view how quality of home building was built before Corporations and subdivisions cheapened home building. You will not be satisfied at your present home after you see what true quality in homes built that were custom built not mass produced. GO SEE!

Kerry, USA

Wonderful inn with long history. The host is very nice to show us around. Classic decoration. I will definitely visit again when I will be there.

Yisong, China

We loved our stay. It was a wonderful 2 days and we met some great people. The owners were wonderful along with the staff. We would/will come back again. Oh, also Delicious Breakfasts!

Sou, USA

Lovely location, very accommodating host who upgraded our room for us (& meant no steps!) but too short a stay

An inside look at The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast

Set on a half-acre of fanciful gardens, our 1911 Craftsman bed and breakfast has fabulous views of Monterey Bay. Named after the Lewis Carroll poem Jabberwocky, the ambiance of our inn is light-hearted, warmly comfortable and decidedly upscale. In the evening, join us for wine and hors d'oeuvres on the enclosed sun porch. Here our guests mingle and discuss the day's trending topics and of course their dinner plans. Ready to settle in for the night, you'll find comfy and inviting historic beds with cozy sheets and down comforters. Three romantic rooms include Jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces. Wake up to a striking sunrise or perhaps the soft sounds of the bay muted by the morning marine layer. Fresh coffee and a scrumptious breakfast await you. Lively conversation and shared adventures make it easy to plan your day's journey.

눉The walk back to the Inn from Cannery Row does include a steep hill, but Monterey is well serviced by uber, so if you are less mobile getting back still shouldn't be a problem.
눇The Inn was within easy walking distance of Cannery Row & it's attractions & the streets feel safe. The staff were attentive & had great recommendations for places to eat & things to see.

눉The location on the side of the hill was a bit of a challenge to walk up. At least a 15% grade and while this affords the great views, it was tough after being stuffed at the great restaurants nearby.
눇The staff, the food, the view and the home/building were all excellent! Very beautiful
