    Escape to a bygone era at The Gables Inn, a beautifully restored Victorian mansion sitting on three acres in the center of the spectacular Sonoma Wine Country. Built in 1877 and known as the Gables since its early days, the Gables Wine Country Inn is a striking example of High Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. Three Italian marble fireplaces, a spectacular mahogany spiral staircase, and soaring twelve foot ceilings grace her interior while fifteen gables crown the unique keyhole shaped windows of her exterior. Each spacious guestroom has been furnished and decorated to reflect the historical detail found in only the most elegant Victorian mansions. Antique armoires, period artwork, and luxurious goose down bedding grace our quaint but spacious rooms. All guestrooms feature a private bath with an antique claw foot tub. Separate from the main house is William and Mary’s Cottage, a cozy little hideaway an extra large Jacuzzi bathtub, loft queen bed, kitchenette, and wood burning fireplace. A wonderful gourmet breakfast of homemade breads and pastries, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a delicious entrée made from fresh local ingredients awaits you each morning in our lovely dining room. Stretching in all directions around our inn is the charming, diverse oasis of the Sonoma Wine Country. Take a drive out to the Pacific Ocean, relax along the Russian River, or visit one of the hundreds of local wineries. Mild winters and sunny summers make this a perfect getaway any time of year.

    A slice of heaven

    May 09, 2013

    I've stayed at the Gables several times and have always loved it, but this was my first visit with Pam and Larry as the new owners. They are wonderful and the house is just as beautiful and well taken care of as ever. If you are coming to the wine country, and want a luxurious, yet comfortable stay, I highly recommend this bed and breakfast as the best!!

    Amazing Place!

    February 27, 2013

    I booked this for my parents and they had an amazing time. The Gables is just down the street from me and I thought it was the perfect get away. The room was nicely decorated and very clean. There was an amazing view of the hills and nice garden of lavender to check out. They were very friendly at check-in and gave me a quick tour. I would definitely send people back who come into town. It's close to town, restaurants, wine tasting, stores and anything else you'd need on your trip.

    Just Terrific!

    February 18, 2013

    My girlfriend and I were looking for a quaint place to stay near Sonoma State University where my daughter plays on the softball team..and we stumbled on The Gables via a search for "Bed & Breafast Rohnert Park". Let me tell you...this place is so lovely and so outstanding that we would have stayed here even if it was not near SSU! This is a homey, comfortable and rustic-like place with owners/proprietors that make you feel like one of the family. The two breakfasts we had on Saturday and Sunday morning were insanely good...while enjoying it in the dining room with a lovely pastoral view of the outside farm. We reserved a room called "The Library Room"...and it was so pleasant that whenever we left the room to go to my daughter's games...we did so quite reluctantly! We will DEFINITELY be back! By the way...I don't ever post reviews...but this place deserves the time I'm spending in writing it. And for you cynics out there...no...I am not affiliated with The Gables in any way, shape or form other than as a more-than-satisfied guest.

    Charming, fun and every so yummy.

    January 19, 2013

    The Gables Inn is fortunate to be in the capable hands of its new owners Pam and Larry. Pam is the baker and Larry is the chef. The food is yummy...cookbook worthy. (Pam’s cookies are the perfect treat after a strenuous day of shopping and touring the area.) The hosts are engaging people who are well suited as keepers of this charming inn. Their light and lively conversation is a nice way to start the day. International travelers and semi-local visitors seem to blend congenially in the common areas. The innkeepers are well-informed as to where to visit in the area. We enjoyed walking their property. Wild turkeys were our greeters when we left the cottage for breakfast. Ophelia, the owl, was the demure hostess of the old redwood barn. In the barn we enjoyed reading the names of dairy cows – long gone - on the milk stanchion. Learning about this former ranch was fun. The living history of the area is here at the Gables Inn. There is so much more to California than palm trees and starlets. In northern California we have redwood trees and real stars. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it our friends. A fire place was a "must have." The Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. Being night owls, we loved the fact that we weren't bothering anybody. We enjoyed watching "The African Queen" (one of many videos available) and snuggling on the sofa. The cottage has lots of windows for enjoying the daytime views. From the excited wild turkey chatter, the unofficial morning greeters, to the haunting cry of Ophelia, the barn owl, announcing that night is surely here, The Gables Inn is a fine place to be.

    Everything about The Gables Wine Country Inn was wonderful. We will definitely to back to visit again. Pam and Larry are wonderful hosts and made us feel at home. Our room was very lovely and comfortable. The food was great, and we were treated to a three couse breakfast each morning. The house was beautifully decorated for the Holidays. It was a very pleasant experience.

    Pam & Larry were wonderful hosts! They were very accommodating for early planned adventures, by packing us a breakfast! It was great! They both made us feel very comfortable, by asking about our day when we arrived. They also make a great breakfast and have a thorough explanation about the grounds upon arrival. This stay made our honeymoon just wonderful.

    The Best Ever B&B!

    September 21, 2012

    This was truly the best weekend of our two week California trip. We stayed in many other places but this was the most memorable. The house and our room were delightful and charming, the food exceeded any other B&B experience and without a doubt, the hospitality shown by Pam and Larry was outstanding. They went out of their way to accomodate everyone's needs (taking special requests, providing information on wineries and restaurants that suited your needs). Happy Hour on the weekends was a most appreciated touch and a great way to not only get to know them but also fellow guests and to share adventures of the day. The homemade cookies upon arrival and coffee station was an added bonus. We would only stay at this B&B when we return to the area. Terrific value!

    One of my favorites!

    November 12, 2011

    My daughter and I stayed here for a little getaway, and we had the best time. The room was beautiful and so clean. Loved all the amenities. The innkeepers are so nice and helpful. The breakfast was gourmet and plentiful. Can't say enough wonderful things about this B&B! Highly recommend it. :)
