Homes For Sale In Jenner 95450

As the Russian River crashes over rocks and slides on by meandering ducklings it is headed to Jenner where it meets the magnificent Pacific Coast. The mouth of the River remains open for a good portion of the year so the water travels up through Jenner to Guerneville and beyond. Every once in a while in the winter you can catch a glimpse of a seal or otter floating up the Russian River due to this. Jenner is a small community with a population of about 136. Properties for sale in Jenner range from elegant Ocean Front homes to small cabins for sale with a view of the ocean.

The Jenner Inn

The Jenner Inn is a retreat center and Inn. It originally began as a lumber mill supplying lumber to rebuild Santa Rosa and the San Francisco bay area after the great earthquake of 1906. After that it was a lodging office, general store, post office, tavern and a family fish house before it became what it is today. The Jenner in is often looked at as a very romantic spot for vacationers to get away as well as for weddings and other celebrations to occur. 

Fort Ross

Originally Russian explorers sailed into Bodega Bay looking to claim the land from the Kashaya Pomo people. They later returned to their country with beaver skins and 1,160 otter pelts. In an attempt to gain more through the trade of these pelts they returned here only to realize that there were significantly less otters than there had once been. The Kashaya Pomo people had named the area Metini and the Russian’s decided with their modest anchorage and abundant natural resources this would become their Russian settlement of Fortress Ross. The name was derived from the Russian word Ros meaning Russia. Fort Ross was established as an agricultural base from which the northern settlements could be supplied with food and trade could commence. Fort Ross is a historical landmark lending explanation to how the river once known as Metini became the Russian River. Today Fort Ross is a Historic State Park that many people visit in order to learn the history of our area.
