Grey Gables Inn, as
you see it today, was designed and primarily built
by owners Roger and Sue Garlick. The
couple, originally from England, fell in love with
the property 18 years ago during a visit to Sutter
Creek. They envisioned a bed and breakfast surrounded
by lush gardens, expansive guest rooms, comfortable
sitting areas ... and Sue's exquisite foods nourishing
their guests. Today guests come from all points around
the world to enjoy all that Grey Gables Inn has to
offer. Roger and Sue remain very involved with running
the inn, preparing the meals, and caring for their
new and return guests. (see more

The
History of Grey Gables Inn
During the mid-19th century, the little town of Sutter
Creek, in Amador County, California, bustled with
activity as hard rock miners made their way to and
from the many gold mines that dotted the surrounding
hills, Throughout the day, stage coaches and express
riders dashed down the dusty main street -- part of
the primary north/south road that wound its way through
a myriad of other  mining
towns along the Mother Lode.
In
the late 1870's, Bishop Patrick Manogue of the Catholic
Church in Sacramento purchased a number of lots in the
growing little town, and on one of these lots, at the
corner of Amelia and Hanford Streets, the Church built
a Catholic School. Upon the Bishop's death in 1895 the
property was willed to Patrick Riordan, Archbishop of
San Francisco, who later sold the property to Thomas
Grace of Sacramento.
While
the structure that sits today on this historic corner
bears little resemblance to its earlier predecessor,
much of the original building was retained as a core
for remodeling efforts. Today's Grey Gables Inn is truly
a union of old and new, combining old fashioned style
and charm with modern comfort and convenience.
