The worst-kept secret on the Northern Coast is Jenner Inn, a gallimaufry of individually designed and decorated houses and cottages along the coast and inland along the Russian River. Couples from the Bay Area who want to stay along the coast for a night, but dread the long drive to Mendocino, wend their way here. Most of the houses are subdivided into suites, while second honeymooners vie for the ultraprivate oceanfront cottages. Wicker furniture, wood paneling, and private bathrooms and entrances are standard, though each lodging has its own personality: Some have kitchens, while others have fireplaces, hot tubs, or private decks. The private cottages overlooking the Pacific are the priciest, but for about $170, most people are content with one of the smaller suites. A complimentary breakfast is served in the main lodge. In addition to the B&B accommodations, the inn rents vacation homes within Jenner Canyon or overlooking the ocean.
