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!

I’ll start with the positives. It is super close to the Pinnacles National Park. It is only 10 miles away from the west entrance of the park. It is a very quiet location. The rooms are spacious and the inside of the rooms are clean.

Now for the negatives: there is zero cell reception on the property unless you have Verizon. The office was closed most of the time so it’s hard to let them know when you need something. They ask you to text them when you need something but you can only text off the property about 20 minutes off away. They leave “breakfast” in your room the first night which includes coffee, OJ, milk, danish, banana and orange. The second night we only got overly sweet danishes. It was more like donuts, we got a bear claw and a Cinnabon roll. We asked for a different breakfast for the last morning like yogurt, eggs, or fruit. They said no to our request. They stated that they provided guest with a list of breakfast items they provide beforehand and that we must have overlooked it. I included the messages and emails as reference. We are healthy people that like to hike and eat healthy food hence why we stayed next to the national park. We paid $1,200 for 3 nights but the service and breakfast were awful. We ended up buying food/ breakfast for the last day. Best Western provides a better breakfast than this so called bed and breakfast. The owner kept making excuses that she was ill and had a family member take over the inn. Well we paid for a service and expect quality. Here the costumer is not always right. I read a previous customer experience and they had a similar situation where they only got breakfast on the first day.

What a little gem close to the west entrance of the Pinnacles National Park..literally less than 10 mins drive. The location is so gorgeous amongst acres of vineyard! Perfect getaway from the city noice and lights.
The room was perfect ..comfortable bed, kitchen stocked with everything you need. Attention to detail was so much appreciated!!

Beautiful sunset and sunrise and after a long hike to come to a place like this and be served wine and cheese was a treat!

We will be back many many times! Thank you Jan and John and Krissy and stripe for making our stay so memorable!

Inn at the Pinnacles, which is located in the middle of a winery and just a short drive from the west entrance of Pinnacles National Park, is a perfect hideaway for when you simply want to get away from it all. Each suite has its own entry, a small kitchenette, and access to the common areas, which are thoroughly relaxing. Each night during our stay, our hosts, Jan and Jon, held a wine tasting. On Saturday night, we had the privilege of tasting the wines from their winery. Suites are comfortably furnished and the kitchenettes fully appointed with a few cooking utensils as well as dishes. This might not be for everyone, however, because you must either bring your own food or drive 25 minutes into town. Also, the only TV is in the great room in the main house. If you're looking for peace and quiet and easy access to Pinnacles, you won't find a better option.

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!!!
