The look of the facility!

Stayed in August 2025

The rooms are clean and cozy, providing a comfortable stay. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, beautiful views, and delightful conversations with fellow guests over wine and hors d’oeuvres, as well as the delightful breakfast. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Location is close to pier and aquarium, quite street, easy parking, lush gardens, well lit without being harsh

The only feedback we have is about how steep the driveway was. Each time we tried to park in the private lot, our car (which is just a regular sedan) scraped on the bottom. We opted to park on the street because of this, which was never a problem because there was always ample parking and the area felt safe, but it would have been nice to use the lot when loading our vehicle. Although, this would not deter us from coming back.

We appreciated the ease of communication via text with the staff about breakfast, hors d'oeuvres, housekeeping, etc. We also appreciated having the option to enjoy our breakfast in the comfort of our cottage. Everything was clean, well-stocked, and welcoming. We were given clear instructions on how everything worked and felt very at home. We loved how conveniently located the house was from many attractions like the bike path, aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, various restaurants, etc as we were able to walk to many of these locations. The house itself was beautiful and felt secluded, even with the sound of cars going by on the street, and the cottage provided the perfect amount of privacy.

Very friendly and accommodating hosts. The breakfasts were great. The hot tub in the room was awesome.

We enjoyed the entire experience!

The breakfast was superb. We loved both the savory and sweet breakfasts. There is great pride in the presentation as well. As for food, we had hors d'oeuvres on 2 afternoons including wine. This was almost a meal and really ruined our dinner appetite (a good thing!). This may be the best afternoon hors d'oeuvres we've had in this or any other country. Really! There was little about the facility that we did not like. The decor, the grounds, the spaciousness, the comfy sitting rooms were all wonderful! Our hosts were great to talk with. Rick afforded a great deal of time to help us with suggestions and talk about the area. He was a delightful host.

If you have a problem with stairs or hills, this would not be the place for you. Other than those two issues this is an absolutely wonderful B&B.

We love everything about Jabberwock. It is ideally located for touring, Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel. The facility itself is so magical, welcoming, quiet, and comfortable. Beautiful views of Monterey Bay and delicious creative breakfasts every morning. We love morning walks through the neighborhood, and we're pleasantly surprised to see wild deer every day!

What’s not to like! An absolutely wonderful place to stay, so much surpassed our expectations. Beautifully decorated, well thought out communal areas, comfy rooms, wonderful staff. Super little complimentary quirks such as fresh cookies and tea 24/7, filtered water in rooms which you can swap in when empty, brandy in rooms for a night cap and a rabbit hole full of soft drinks for guests to help themselves to,

We loved absolutely everything about this place.

The atmosphere was wonderful and the room was beautiful. The service and staff were wonderful and we couldn’t ask for anything more.

The room that we had, had a fantastic view. Breakfast was very good. It was quite tasty. The grounds were very well kept and fairly good size. The owners are very hospitable and shared the history of the Inn.

Stayed in March 2024

The location is great. It is a very short walk to Cannery Row, although somewhat hilly. They offer very comprehensive advice for places to eat, as well as things to do locally. The breakfast was restaurant quality, and the hospitality hour refreshments were excellent. And they also had cookies all day. The brandy in the room was an unexpected touch.

Wonderful place to visit Monterey

The owners met us and they were extremely friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast was superb and individually prepared.

Stayed in December 2023

I stayed for a conference since the conference hotel was booked and I’m so glad I did. My room had a cozy fireplace and a stunning view of the bay. The whole property is charming, as are the staff. Plenty of nooks to settle into in the public areas, too, though I didn’t have time for that. This is a lovely inn, and I’ve already rebooked for next year.

Nothing, I loved it!

Rick, Suzanne, Dorothy and Ruth were all great. I have never had such a personal feeling experience at anywhere that I have stayed before. Rick and Suzanne knew my name and called me by it every day. Breakfast was excellent from the stuffed french toast to the Phantasmagoria to the wonderful Jabber Juice, everything was perfect. I did not join for the wine and hours dourves but was checked on every evening by Dorothy to see if I was going to join to make sure that there was still time. All in all a great stay and I am looking forward to coming back again in the near future.

We had a wonderful visit to Monterey and loved staying at the Jabberwock. The Inn was great, the people, the food, everything.

Stayed in July 2023

Our room was small with no closet. Fairly expensive but it was a holiday weekend.

Old Victorian house, everything was quaint but beautiful. Based on Alice in Wonderland. Very nice people willing to do anything you asked. Delicious breakfast and appetizers for happy hour.

Very nice room with a fire place. The Maitre D was very friendly

Giving my room keys back to (Rick)the owner!

Peaceful gardens and water fountain to just sip tea, read the local paper and relax as a family of deer makes good use of the pond and foliage. Main house views are amazing as well as the Staff (Especially Dorothy)Knowledgeable and very helpful for dining suggestions or travel destinations. Start your day 8-9am, Pick a table for a Wonderfull breakfast, then out for your adventures. 5 min walk to Cannery row and most restaurants. Come back by 5-6pm to enjoy the tasteful selection of wine and appetizers nightly. Another 5 min stroll for Dinner, then back to the property to enjoy the views before retiring to Bed which was very comfortable! Great Couples retreat!!

Didn't realize when booking that the bathroom wasn't connected to our room - but it was private so it was fine. Could have been that I missed it, or may need to be a little more obvious in posting

All the food was great! Dorothy & Rick were incredibly friendly and accommodating, also the garden around the house was incredible!
