The town of Jenner is set along the Pacific coastline in Sonoma County, California. The Russian River flows past picturesque Penny Island here and then makes its last bend before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. This once boisterous logging community is now a quiet haven for nature lovers and those seeking some fresh sea air. Wildlife abounds and many of the most popular area activities are focused around enjoying the splendor of nature. Lotus Kayak rents kayaks literally only a few hundred feet from the door of our home. Several dramatic beaches are only a few minutes drive away. By spending a few more minutes in the car, many other locations are accessible. To the south on Hwy 1, you can visit the bustling fishing community of Bodega Bay. Numerous restaurants there, in all price ranges, will satisfy your seafood cravings. To the North, the views of dramatic cliffs along the drive to historic Fort Ross, the Sea Ranch community and Mendocino will rival the destinations themselves. Further inland, the heart of Sonoma County will offer unforgettable experiences for you. Vineyards are plentiful in the Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys. Each micro-climate of Sonoma County offers fabulous wines, produce and dairy products. We can all reap the bounty of the county in a number of fantastic restaurants and world-renown wineries – most 1 hour or less from Jenner. The area is the gourmet’s and oenophile’s dream! Thankfully, most Californians can easily reach Jenner and the surrounding areas by car. The cities of San Francisco and Sacramento are about 2 and 3 hours away, respectively. Those from further away may need to fly into one of three Bay Area airports such as Oakland, San Francisco, or San Jose. Guests from Seattle and Los Angeles can fly direct on Horizon airlines into Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa. The links below will help you get your bearings and begin planning your trip. |
