About The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast Monterey

A whimsical Craftsman inn inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast is not just a place to stay—it’s a storybook brought to life. Set in a 1911 Craftsman home overlooking Monterey Bay, this seven-room inn draws inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, with playful touches and period charm in every corner. From stained-glass windows to antique furnishings, the house feels equal parts historic and imaginative.

Each day begins with a complimentary gourmet breakfast, often highlighting seasonal flavors. Evenings bring guests together over wine, hors d’oeuvres, and homemade cookies. The gardens, complete with a koi pond and sun terrace, provide quiet spots to unwind, while the property’s proximity to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium makes it an ideal base for exploring.
