Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The Inn surrounded by interesting gardens. Very good outside spaces. Location very quiet on a hill overlooking the Bay. Inn was well managed, engaging hosts. While reading Steinbeck's Tortilla Flat, I could look out the window and easily imagine his characters rolling around in the trees outside.

United StatesWish we could give this 11/10, property was amazing and in a great location. The Inn was so lovely and welcoming and we loved all the little touches like the wine and hors d’oeuvres hour, the brandy in the room, the games corner, the sun porch, the cookies, the breakfasts… the hosts were fantastic, so happy we chose to stay here and wish we had stayed longer!

United KingdomFantastic historic property providing great hospitality and really well located just a short walk from Cannery Row and the aquarium. Comfy rooms and delicious inventive breakfasts. The complementary afternoon cookies and early evening canapés and wine is a really nice touch. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. One of the best B&B's I've ever stayed in, would definitely stay here again next time I visit Monterey.

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.
After twenty-seven years in the Hotel business Suzanne and I (Rick) discovered the fun and joy of the Monterey peninsula. Originally from New Orleans, our family moved to California in 2005 and we have lived on the Peninsula since 2009. In taking over the inn we have decided to make beautiful Monterey our permanent home and, we look forward to welcoming you and making your stay a magical adventure!
- Rick and Suzanne
The Jabberwock is five short blocks above John Steinbeck's Cannery Row. Visit Doc Rickett's Lab, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, or perhaps a wine tasting room. Old Fisherman's Wharf is just around the corner and there are over 25 restaurants in the area.
The Monterey/Pacific Grove recreation trail, offers a wonderful walking, jogging, and biking path with stirring views of the bay and its marine life. Perhaps you will discover the tide pools of Asilomar beach or kayak at Lover's Point. Enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells while pondering the history and lives lived here. Watch for a whale…there she blows! Or explore further to Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach, Point Lobos and Big Sur.
