I love the little hamlet of Jenner. Such a blissful oasis. I stayed at Starlight and wanted to stay longer. The views from the room, balcony and bathtub and worth every penny. I will be back!

It is a beautiful setting on the Russian river. We found that the television didn't work as it should. We went to the person we checked in with, who said he would come see what was wrong. He never showed up. We found rat poop on the carpet in different places. Not something you should find at a place that costs what it does.We found the breakfast bag that they give you to be belowthe quality of what you would expect from a place like this. The kitchen wasn't very well equipped. We had 2 spoons, 2 forks, and 2 knives. Glad that there was only 2 of us. Lighting in the kitchen is a joke. Also very few extra coffee pods and no way to clean the sink area, no sponge, etc.The sliding glass shower doors had no handles on them to open or close. Challenging with wet hands. Also there is a very strong smell of natural gas at the parking area. Could be dangerous, should be checked out. We won't be back. We stayed in the Monte Rio.

Most family of 3 and our dog had a great time staying. We loved our room and how convenient the location is.We will go back again.

I’m so sad to write this review. My husband and I booked the Treehouse cabin. It was recently ‘renovated’. I was so disappointed. The construction was substandard, thrift store furniture, missing handle on drawer, broken microwave and toilet paper holder, sitting area by the balcony had 1 chair only, renovations done cheaply and shoddy. When we arrived, we were given a bag consisting of gas station convenience store groceries representing‘breakfast served daily’ as a hotel amenity even though the facility has a full kitchen and dining room (closed). It was like staying in a third world home stay. All this for $550.

There were 44 steps up the hill to get in to the "Waterfall Cottage." Be advised, it's not good for people with asthma, bad joints or weak backs. You'll need to be in tip-top shape to haul your bags up. Reservations indicated check-in is between 4pm and 6pm. When we got there at 4:30, our room was not ready; and told to wait 30 minutes. (Another person arrived after 6pm, and couldn't get in since the Inn's office was closed.) In the cottage, views of the river (not the ocean) are limited. There's a small room off the main floor living room with a full bed, likely a converted parlor facing a locked, glass double door entryway. A set of narrow steps (more!) leads upstairs to a converted attic with 2 beds. There's a twin bed set against the wall, under the slanted roof ceiling where my friend bumped her head more than once. It was cold downstairs but hot up there. Each guest receives a bag with day-old muffin, a fruit and yogurt cup for breakfast. The restaurant is closed (looks permanent) but you'll need to go thru it to use the bathroom (after pleading for permission). Next time, we'll stay at the place up the street where I suspect promotional pictures were taken.

I walked in at 5:55p to book a room today. The lady at the desk told me she had rooms available, but she closes at 6 and she already shut down her computer, so she couldn't help me. She told me to drive back to Bodega Bay. She could have said all she had available was a $300 cottage and we'd have booked it. She knew I was panicked and still refused to help. The customer service leaves something to be desired and put a horrible taste in our mouth.

This place is wonderful! One reviewer said there is no wifi which is inaccurate! They have great wifi. But if that isn’t your thing, no need to use it.This place has class, elegance, and is an absolutely wonderful place to stay with amazing views. 5/5!

My trip was a little too short. I love the lobby lounge area at the Jenner Inn, especially if you’re looking for a little social interaction and the cottages offer a great private deck. I stayed in Gray Whale & Pelican Inn. Both are great, but if you have the extra budget, having a kitchen was great! It’s also a lot of stairs, to most of the cottages but with that, you get a private home feel. Next trip, I’d like to try River restaurant but the Tasting room across from the general store is so fun! Live music and perfect hangout spot! Jenner Inn is a great getaway!! Take advantage of off season, less crowds are nice.

Gorgeous views from the Monte Rio room. The room was large as was the kitchen. For $500 + / night they could have had more amenities ( guests robes, for example). The second day the internet was down all day and the staff were not helpful. We had to stay in touch with family, so we skipped the second night.Food & drinks: Make sure you go to the River’s End restaurant. Terrific views and amazing food!

We paid $350/ night for a DUMP! The only redeeming quality was the view which was beautiful but the place is gross. Creaky, nails sticking out, exposed wood loft covered in spiderwebs, peeling paint, thermostat did not work, some lights didn’t work, drains made weird noises, very dirty couches. The bathroom was really gross, we even bought some throw away sandals to shower in their shower bc it had old dirty looking grout. Barf. We feel we got ripped off AND THEN, upon checkout, the weird landlady stalked us to make sure we were checking out and then to scold us about our dog which we OBVIOUSLY made sure to book a pet friendly room. She told us our room was not pet friendly, which is their fault since they asked us at check in if we had a dog and we said yes. So they’re idiots and slum lords and do not deserve your booking. Don’t do it.

No cell phone service. Does have Wi-Fi. Beds are not the cleanest, seen some black hairs and black specks of I don’t know what. Small stain on white pillow case. If you like old houses and the smell of a old house this is your place enjoy! For me I’d keep driving until I came to a civilized town. No places to eat here bring your own food.

We'd heard that the Jenner had been renovated, but apparently they forgot to renovate ALL the cottages. Billed as "the jewel of the property," the Waterfall Cottage is a place you might rent on Halloween, or Friday the 13th, for someone you don't really like. It's a dark, strange, musty old house that gives off someone-died-here vibes. They describe it as "rustic," which would be great if it wasn't creepy and rundown. There are stains on the carpets, lamps that don't work, and the kitchen is lacking the most basic tools, like pot holders and decent pans. No basic amenities, either - we assumed there'd at least be some oil for cooking, or maybe some tea? but none to be found. We were excited about the fireplace, which seemed a charming touch -- but found it broken, the pilot light out. Jenner itself is amazing; the house has a view of the night sky and glimpses of the river, but for $400/night, we definitely wouldn't stay here again. There are nicer airbnbs for less in the area that give you more.

Just spent our 20th anniversary there. We booked the Milky Way room and it did not disappoint. The soaking tub was huge and we had an amazing view from the tub, the deck and the bedroom. It was wonderful. The woman at the front desk was so friendly . It was all in all a perfect stay.

Just spent our 20th anniversary at the Jenner Inn. We used to come most every year . This was the first time since the remodel. We used to love the hottubs, so this time we booked the Milky Way room. I was a bit concerned that the tub might not be big enough( from the website photos ) . What a great surprise. It was very big and we loved the room and the very spacious bathroom and the large deck. It was perfect. The woman at the front desk was super nice and we were able to check in a bit earlier. We will be back to the Milky Way room for sure.
