My family, friends, and dogs had an amazing time at The Driftwood Lodge in Jenner, CA. The lodge provided the perfect escape from our busy lives with its breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. We brought our two dogs with us and were pleasantly surprised by the pet-friendly accommodations provided by the lodge. The owners were friendly and accommodating, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The lodge was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, making it perfect for our large group. We had 8 children in the group and they were running around outside having an amazing time enjoying the outdoor activities, including hiking from the lodge to a creek, hanging out in the hot tub, playing sports on the big lawn. Which gave us adults the chance to sit back and relax. There is a little convenience store that is a quick and easy walk to. They even had a movie playing one evening for the children to enjoy. Overall, our stay at The Driftwood Lodge in Jenner, CA was a memorable experience. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with their family and friends.

We love the Driftwood Lodge! It's an escape, an adventure, a breath of fresh air, an opportunity for stargazing, unwinding and exploring. It's a special place that brings our family together in a way that's spacious, expansive, and cozy at the same time. The pigs and chickens down at the barn, s'mores at the campfire, and the hot tub with a view were extra treats during our second visit. We'll be back!

Fantastic property with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. Rooms are very clean, fully stocked, and the on property amenities are great. Hot tub and gas firepit got a lot use. Kids had plenty of creative ways to play outdoors and go hiking up a small creek. The owners were very attentive and interested in helping out however they could. Will definitely be going back.

What a gem! I attended a meeting for our professional travel club at Driftwood Lodge and was blown away that a place like this exists. Well worth the drive from SFO. My favorite is the backyard views. Hoping to return soon.

This a great getaway location for adults, kids, families, groups of friends… anyone! It’s perfect for any holiday, reunion or larger event. It’s also an amazing retreat to disconnect and recharge… writers, yoga, etc. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible weekend at The Driftwood Lodge. Our room was large, comfortable for the whole family, and had picturesque views of the Pacific. The deck off the main living room is the perfect place to drink wine and watch the sunset. Our son was in heaven playing in the hot tub and exploring the onsite creek.

We enjoyed a FABULOUS weekend at The Driftwood lodge. The accommodations were comfortable and relaxing - perfect for any retreat. Each room included a fireplace, jacuzzi and sauna along with a mini kitchenette - again, perfect for our needs. We hiked the local trails and took in the extraordinary views along the coast. This is a truly special location that will lift your spirits!

Driftwood Lodge Driftwood Lodge is a spectacular and unique coastal experience… modern and rustic, funky with lots of charm, private escape with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean from almost every room in the house. The property is set up sort of like an upscale motel, with a communal living room and kitchen space. Our room was very spacious with our own hot tub and sauna and a dreamy view of the ocean. The bed was very comfortable and the room was nicely appointed and very clean. (Keep in mind that this place is in the middle of the woods, so you are going to see critters here and there.) The living and dining area had a cozy fireplace and large dining table, and the kitchen was very well stocked. The floor plan is original and a bit funky, but I think that just adds to the charm! The back porch of the main house was my favorite spot, with a glass wind-break and heater to keep me cozy (even in November!) while listening to the sound of the waves. It just doesn’t get any more relaxing than this. The backyard fire pit was beautiful and kept us comfortable for late night stargazing, which was some of the best I’ve ever seen. But the sunsets are the true shining star at this place. Just mind blowing! The drive in to Driftwood is beautiful, and you have a few routes to choose from depending on your preference. We took the windier route so we could see more of the coast and it was nonstop views. There’s a great little store a block from the driveway where you can get everything from charcuterie and snacks to adult beverages and local souvenirs. There are several beaches within a few short miles. There’s just so much to do in the area that it was impossible to check it all out in one weekend. We can see that this property is a labor of love and is continuing to be developed by the owners. We can’t wait to go back to see what they do with the house and to do some more exploring. Driftwood really was the perfect magical weekend getaway!
