"Great location, clean, comfortable bed, quiet and friendly staff. We even jumped in the hot tub outside which was great. Really happy we stayed here and wouldn’t hesitate to go back if in the area. The Jack London Saloon was a great place to grab a feed and have a beer. Enjoy"

"There was good service, but the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly and there was a huge spider web in the shower that was very obvious and should have been cleaned and removed but otherwise than that it was a great place to stay."

"I love this bar. The bar staff are amazing and super fun. Drinks are great Ian makes a rocking cocktail. Erin, Ian and Chantel are just happy with great vibes. The menu left a little to be desired seems pretty small. The bigger is yummy though. Nice back area with pool table and beautiful outdoor patio near the creek."

"I practically grew up here, and I’d hate to see it get too busy — it’s such a nice, relaxed bar/pub. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy a drink by a small river while soaking in the beauty of Glen Ellen, I highly recommend stopping in. The food is always amazing, and they often have live music and more; I believe there’s even a chess group that meets on Thursdays right now. The prices are fair too, especially..."

"Very quiet lodging, everything was spotless clean. We also had a conversation with a nice lady on the front desk, she let us check in early. I guess it is a family business so they are taking a good care of their customers. Lodging has a nice and well maintained outdoor pool and area for small picnic. There is a pleasant restaurant on premises, so give it a try. Market with homemade food and local wines is walking distance (about..."

"Glen Ellen is a beautiful small town in the heart of wine country. The Jack London lodge is a great place to stay. Clean and comfortable beds, the only downside was the bathrooms need to be renovated. The pool and gardens are perfect. The saloon and garden at the rear are fabulous and the food really good. We tried two lovely restaurants nearby, Poppy and the Glen Ellen Star. Pascals patisserie a stones throw from the Jack London lodge is..."
