Grey Gables Bed & Breakfast Inn

The Grey Gables is fabulous! Every inch of the place is beautifly decorated and maintained. The garden is lovely with many charming places to sit. Afternoon tea in the sitting room was a wonderful respite from the 100 degree heat. The wifi connection was strong. We stayed in the Wordsworth Room and it was a dream. Everything was fresh and clean – new bathroom, fresh wallpaper, and linens. I’ve visited Sutter Creek for 15 years but avoided the Grey Gables because it seemed too far from town. However, the owner told us the bast way to walk into town was by the back road. It was a quick and interesting walk. I can’t wait to go back!

Grey Gables taught us a valuable lesson. Never, never, NEVER stay at old charming inns which allow small children.
This is a charming, expensive 100+ yr old B&B. No telephones. No televisions. Classical music plays softly in the parlor during the morning. Nice morning breakfasts. Afternoon tea. Wine and cheese in the evening.
Sounds like a perfect, quiet charming place for a couple to enjoy a wine tasting weekend getaway, right? WRONG!!!
The innkeepers rented the room adjoining ours on Saturday night to a young family incl a 2 or 3 yr old. Yelling. Loud games. Drama. Ya know — typical 2 or 3 yr old child behavior. This (incl self-​centered, insensitive parents) is perfectly normal at a roadside motel — but at $ 200/​night B&B with old creaky floors and thin walls???
We had a nice, quiet stay the first of our two nights here. Would have assigned 4.5 stars at that point. Night #2 SUCKED simply because the innkeepers allowed a 2 or 3 yr old in the adjoining room. So much for peace and quiet. From now on — we never (NEVER!) stay at B&B’s which allow small children. (Expensive) lesson learned.

We just had a fabulous stay at Grey Gables. Sue was a great hostess and very accommodating. We had wine and cheese in their True English garden (which was quite a feat with CA water rationing this year). Their rooms are truly victorian and decorated beautifully. Breakfast was gorgeous and tasted the same! Cudos to Sue and Roger for maintaining such a beautiful B&B!!!

Wonderful place with amazing people that own it. You won’t be disappointed if your looking for a cozy place to stay. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Grey Gables! Thank you Sue and Roger.

As a wedding present we were gifted a stay at the most wonderful Bed & Breakfast in Sutter Creek of Amador County. The owners, Sue and Roger, are charming, warm and friendly. They make you feel at home and were incredibly accommodating. My new bride spent an afternoon talking with Sue over tea and absolutely adores her. This house is fabulous! The rooms are beautifully appointed in a quaint Victorian style with the Byron room having a claw foot tub. The property has numerous garden areas in which to relax and enjoy the beauty, peace and serenity of this haven. They have an English tea time and cake in the afternoons with a wine hour in the early evening. Breakfast was delicious! Each meal was expertly prepared, perfect temperature and delectable. They give a great deal of attention to the preparation, presentation and service of the meal. Sue gave us restaurant recommendations for our evening meals and we had two exceptional nights of dinner. Taste Restaurant alone (of Zagat U.S. top 100, James Beard honor and Wine Spectator honor) is worth the stay here for a romantic getaway and superb dining experience. We were also given exceptional recommendations for the wineries in the area. There are additional cute, little towns nearby for antiquing and exploring. Plenty to do in addition to the wine country. My wife and I highly recommend a stay to this establishment. We’ll be returning to further enjoy the inviting warmth of the owners and the charm of this beautiful home.

Love this place! It is so beautiful! The innkeepers go out of their way to make your stay pleasant and the food was wonderful! Short walk into town and all the restaurants are fabulous. Rooms were very clean and comfy and spacious. Loved the bathroom in the Tennyson room.

The cutest B&B I have stayed at. Definitely fits in with the vibe of the town. Sue and Robert were great hosts, providing us with Wine and Cheese hour in the parlor and an incredible breakfast. Read more about my experience on my blog at

Took off on an adventure with no reservation and stumbled upon a jewel of a B and B. Drove into Sutter Creek, only to see a lovely, inviting inn. Gray Gables Inn afforded us the opportunity to meet Sue and Roger, owners. Warm and friendly, they know the area well and were great to visit with. The room had a lovely fireplace and was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Best of all was a breakfast presentation was a work of art. The blueberry, croissant puff was to die for… accompanied by a beautifully displayed variety of fresh fruits… we will make this a regular destination!

What a wonderful place to stay. It is so relaxing there and the rooms have the high ceilings. It felt like visiting my Great Aunt in Kansas. Thank you.

Just returned from our first visit to Sutter Creek, where we stayed two nights at the Grey Gables Inn, and we are already trying to figure out when we can go back. It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay! We had the Rosetti room, which is the only room on the top floor, so it felt very private. The whole inn was clean, inviting, and in excellent condition, and it had nice updates to provide modern comforts (good plumbing, hallway lights on motion detectors, self-​igniting gas fireplaces, etc). Breakfast was delicious, with generous servings of fresh fruit, coffee, orange juice, and muffin-​like cakes. They also had a hearty egg-​based dish each morning: a blueberry «bread pudding» on our first day, and an artichoke-​and-​salsa frittata on the second. To top it off, they graciously served our breakfast in our room, rather than requiring us to join the other guests in the dining room. We only met one of the innkeepers, but she was warm, helpful, and hospitable without being intrusive. I don’t think a B&B can get much better than that!

Everything at the Grey Gables is done with love and you can feel that all over the place. The rooms are wonderful decorated with all the antiques and everyone has a special theme. They are clean and neat so we fehlt at home immediately. What a fantastic Bed & Breakfast! Sue and Roger are great hosts. We enjoyed our stay very much.

My wife and I have stayed at the Grey Gables several times, and we have always really enjoyed our visit. Roger and Sue both are very attentive to their guests and really make their visitors feel at home. The property is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens overlooked by an architecturally pleasing building that brings the antiquities of old to the modern day. It was a delight to stay there!

Lovely, charming B&B with excellent hosts and a nice wine and cheese hour. I would totally stay here again. Very nicely renovated home with beautiful spacious rooms at a decent price.

Came here for a birthday getaway, and it was really great. The inn is very well kept; we stayed in the Bronte room, which was spacious and had a nice walk in shower, as well as nice decorations.
We enjoyed the wine hour, afternoon tea and breakfast (all of which were included in the price). Sue was particularly nice, and let me take a tea pot out into the garden to read.
Sue, the inn keeper, was happy to make recommendations about vineyards and places to eat. We LOVED Taste, where we went for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner. However, Sue’s (the local eatery) was… so-so…it felt overpriced considering the food and service.
Will definitely be back :)

This inn is a find! Immaculate, charming, and friendly. Roger and Sue were very kind to us. The breakfast, OMG! Just like being in England. Make sure you take a walk down Spanish Street to get to the shops and restaurants. This street is right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. You may be thinking that staying on the main downtown area is a good choice, but we noticed how noisy it would be staying there. This inn was quiet and peaceful the whole time. We appreciated the two nights or the price of one. We will return to the Grey Gables again for sure. Thanks for making our stay a memorable one! Don
PS Bellotti’s Italian Restaurant = wonderful! Check out my review. Also, Pizza Plus! Great!!!

We had a lovely two night stay here. The room was spacious and comfortable. Roger was a great host (Sue was out of town). We were comfortable and well fed. No TV was great, but nice to have Wi-​Fi. We will be back. Nice getaway for our 15^th Anniversary.

We had a wonderful stay at Grey Gables for our anniversary. Sue and Roger we’re so friendly and helped with everything from directions to recommendations for local places to see and eat. The tea time and wine hour are nice additions that you don’t find at most places. Everything was perfect and we would love to stay again sometime.

A beautiful place for a special get away. The owners, Roger and Sue are most attentive to detail in every thing that they do, from the rooms to the food to the evening wine. They enjoy interacting with their guest and make you feel welcome in their home. Highly recommend it for some place special for two.

Wonderful get away
Beautiful accommodations
Our hosts were helpful and know how to treat you well. Be sure to enjoy the tea and evening wine and cheeses. Walk to everything in town and just be ready for a quiet enjoyable retreat.

Wow!
We visited here based on reviews elsewhere and the fact that our first choice in nearby Volcano was closed. And we were glad! We felt spoiled.
The host and hostess were awesome! From the initial phone call three days prior to arriving (November), to the recommendations for dinner and local color, to the purposeful conversation during afternoon tea and breakfast. We received winery recommendations (and cautions), instructions on how to schedule the day, etc.
The house and grounds are immaculately kept up. Our room was wonderful even though the hosts we saying it needed an upgrade. I thoroughly enjoyed the room and colors.
