The Jack London Lodge  

On the tree-lined banks of Sonoma Creek in Glen Ellen, a boutique Sonoma Valley hotel set amid vineyards and botanical gardens. Minutes from Jack London State Historic Park (about 1.2 miles), Benziger Family Winery and Quarryhill Botanical Garden, it’s a perfect base for wine-country escapes.

This intimate lodge has 22 air-conditioned rooms—King and Double Queen options—with flat-screen TVs, private baths and some superior rooms with pool or garden views. Rooms include mini-refrigerators, coffee/tea makers and rainfall showerheads. The property’s tranquil garden, outdoor patio with Valley of the Moon views and creek-side setting keep the vibe relaxed and slightly edgy.

Dip in the year-round outdoor pool, soak in the hot tub, or unwind on the patio overlooking the valley. On-site arcade/game room, picnic area and a massage room add variety. Free self-parking and concierge-assisted tours make winery hopping and local adventures easy—wake up to creek-side mornings and wine-country air.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, an elevator for easy access, and concierge services to help with bookings and logistics.

The historic Jack London Saloon on-site serves brunch, lunch and dinner with a bar and lounge for evening drinks. It’s a convenient spot to refuel after tastings at nearby wineries.
