| WELCOME
TO JABBERWOCK INN! Our Monterey Bed and Breakfast
Inn was named after the Lewis
Carroll poem from his famous book, "Through
the Looking Glass." The ambiance of our seven room inn
is light-hearted, warmly comfortable, and decidedly upscale.
We enjoy meeting and caring for our local to international
guests. Many come for romance, others are in town for conferences
or business meetings, some come as a group for a family reunion
... many return often to re-experience the beautiful blend
of elegance and innocence that is woven into every aspect
of Jabberwock Inn! We look forward to meeting you and making
your stay a magical adventure ... John Hickey

HISTORY
This
Craftsman-style home was built in 1911 for Eva & Wilber
George.
In
1937 the Widow George gave the property to the Victory Mission
Sisters who held Catechism classes for all of the Catholic
youngsters in New Monterey.
In
1972 the convent was sold to a private party who then leased
it to several different religious groups for use as a popular
retreat over the next nine years.
In
1981 Barbara and Jim Allen purchased the home and converted
it into a bed and breakfast, one of the first on the Monterey
Peninsula. Jim Allen, a former volunteer with the Los Angeles
School District, fell in love with the Lewis Carroll tales
while working with the children. He brought "Alice's
story" to life at Jabberwock Inn. (click

The
inn changed hands in 1996, when it was purchased by Joan
and John Kiliany. They owned and personally operated the
inn until they sold it to the present owners/operators,
John Hickey and Dawn Perez in August 2007.

beverages on the enclosed sun porch overlooking Monterey
Bay and our estate gardens.
