Inn at the Pinnacles - Soledad, California

Absolutely charming, romantic, and beautiful! The hosts are lovely, the views are wonderful. The rooms are comfortable and nicely decorated. The pool is heaven after a day of hiking. And the Inn is practically in Pinnacles National Park - which is also wonderful. If possible, stay over a Sat. evening and enjoy a wonderful wine tasting in this spectacular setting. We loved it, and we highly recommend both the Inn and the wine!

This was a top memorable stay of my travelogues! I’ve traveled to 70 countries and Inn at Pinnacles will always bring a smile to my face when I think of our time there. ||The West entrance to the park is about 5 minutes away by car. The grounds are stunning with beautiful rooms that have everything one needs for a beautiful escape! ||Please be prepared to bring groceries so you can utilize the grill on the deck. There are not many restaurants around and it’s about a 30 minute drive to get food. Our time here was incredible and we had the whole place to ourselves. We enjoyed the pool, wine on the terrace and fabulous home cooked meals. Thank you Krissy for the magical stay!

We were visiting Pinnacles National Park over Memorial day weekend and we were glad to have chosen this Inn. Only 1.5 miles from the west entrance of Pinnacles NP, you can afford to sleep in and still get to the park before 9 am for the coveted parking closest to the trails. Not only was the location great, but it is in the middle of a 160 acre vineyard so it is peaceful, serene, and from our rooms we have the view of the valley and the vineyards. Every room has a jacuzzi tub, which soothed our muscles after a long day of hiking. We BBQ'ed on our private patio. Everything was provided by the host so we didn't have to pack anything besides the food we want to cook. A lovely basket of continental breakfast (juice, milk, croissants and jam, muffins, banana, yogurt) was available each day, and the complimentary wine and cheese socials hosted by the owners allowed guests to socialize. The saline swimming pool was great, and we also enjoyed our spacious room with luxurious bedding and toiletries. The hosts were gracious and answered our every needs.

The location is perfect for visiting Pinnacles National Park and that is why we chose it. The drain in the bathroom was slow and took forever to clear. (yuck) The back patio was not clean and the mat by the back door was not clean at all. Windows out to the front seemed like they had not been washed in ages. No gourmet breakfast as pictured (and should be a nice breakfast for paying over $300/room per night. Continental breakfast left in room on arrival but nothing for the second night...found out had to ask for it but we were not told that on check in. Had wine one night which was nice. Rooms were quiet and beds were comfortable. Check in was in their kitchen which was pretty much cluttered. Enjoyed the long horn bulls and the three sheep. Vineyards were beautiful and had a nice stroll around the grounds. Stated in the website there were trails to hike, but it was just a small dirt road around the vineyards...10 mins stroll. Would not consider it a good value for your money, but the best place to stay near the West entrance of Pinnacles. No restaurants nearby so you need to bring food for you dinner. Covid was on a decline and when we stayed and they could have easily had a nice breakfast served.

We recently stayed in the Manzanita Suite and loved it. The setting is beautiful, very quiet and relaxing with great views. The Brosseaus are very welcoming and do a great job even with the pandemic restrictions. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends. It is very close to the West entrance of Pinnacles National Park and convenient even when going to the East side as well. Overall a good find and a pleasant place to stay! You do need to consider your evening dining plans however as they are limited in Soledad as well as for grocery options. King City has a Safeway grocery/deli and there were a number of decent Mexican restaurants there. We found La Potranca de Jalisco has delicious burritos! Other than being prepared about your evening meal plans, this place is a perfect place to stay when visiting the Park.

My husband visited this delightful bed and breakfast 10 years ago, and I have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity when I could also stay there. To say that it lived up to expectations is really an understatement. If you want an oasis of calm with stunning views, luxurious accommodation and excellent hiking close by, this is the place to go. The wine and cheese get together in the evening enables all the guests to meet one another - and the local wines are amazing. I have happily come away with their late harvest Syrah - really an excellent port wine in disguise. |The provisions left in our room for breakfast were so abundant that we were able to have them for dinner too. The nearest town for groceries is 20 minutes drive away so it best to pick up supplies before arriving at the Inn. There is a grill for each room as well as good sized fridge, microwave and plenty of crockery and silverware. If you need a swim after hiking for the day in Pinnacles National Monument Park, you can do so in the salt pool overlooking the vineyards. Guests have access to the main house living and dining rooms if it is too cold to sit out on the terrace. Cell service and WiFi is sufficient for basic communication but not much else - the panoramic sunsets are more than compensation.|Jan and Jon are warm and friendly hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing in a small part of their dream.

We stayed at the inn at the pinnacles this weekend and it was fantastic! Jan and John were the most delightful hosts.

As soon as we arrived, we were invited to a wine tasting event at the pool. We met other friendly folks staying here as well. It was like staying with family.

The setting was beautiful, upon the hilltop amongst rolling vines. It was so quiet and serene. The Wi-Fi wasn't great, but it's probably for the better... Take a break away from technology!

I think we brought too much food though since the room came with a large basket of goodies for breakfast. It also came with a grill which we didn't use. Pretty fully stocked for preparing a meal, which is good because the nearest restaurant is 20 mile away.

The jetted hot tub is also good. And the stargazing!!!

High on a vineyard covered slope overlooking the Salinas Valley is a not-to-miss place to stay if you wish to see the Pinnacles National Park (westside) and enjoy proximity to an otherwise popular hiking destination. Inn at the Pinnacles is a quiet, well attended accommodation in a vineyard with exciting views, pleasant pool area, relaxing rooms with kitchenette and bath facilities. The proprietors have thought of everything for a couple seeking to be near the Pinnacles and away from the afternoon crowds that can limit access to the National Park. (California's newest)||||This is a small place, so book ahead and be sure to read the e-mail fully because there is a code to enter through the closed gate off of the dirt road ( improved ) leading to the facility off of the road to Pinnacles west.
