Gables Inn

Absolutely deeeeelish!!! I got the Lumberjack Steak and the hostess (Carolyn) was kind enough to poach my eggs with hollandaise and a side of smoked salmon. I’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Gables Inn over Valentines weekend. The inn is perfectly situated near the Stowe Ski resort and the Stowe town area. The rooms are clean and charming. Everything you would want from a nice Bed and Breakfast.
Randy the innkeeper was fantastic. He was friendly and very helpful. He also had great tips on delicious places to eat. It was such a treat to have his delicious soup and cider after a day of skiing on the mountain.
They have a great breakfast menu with lots of options for different tastes and everything we tried was really good! The breakfast was hands down the best breakfast I’ve had at a b&b!
We can’t wait to plan our next trip to Stowe and The Gables Inn!

If you’re looking for a inexpensive but quality option to stay at when visiting Stowe, The Gable’s Inn is a great choice. Randy the owner is very attentive and caring. Breakfast is served every morning and it’s some of the best you’ll find in Stowe.
The location is perfect, it’s right in the middle on Mountain Road. Just a short drive from Stowe Resort and close to all the restaurants and bars.
And as a bonus Mickey the Inn’s dog is there to great and hang with you throughout your trip!

Five stars to the person that wrote the fiction that described their breakfast options, three stars for the reality. There were no specials, the menu was basic and the food itself was fine but nothing special. We had better in Stowe.

I come up to Stowe several times a year and I always stay here. Randy, the innkeeper, is super nice and accommodating and cooks a fantastic breakfast. Actually, my bf used to come here for breakfast as a kid. Randy also has the cutest new addition to his family: his gorgeous Béarnaise mountain dog, Mickey, who greets guests and loves attention.
The location is great. It’s within walking distance to a bunch of good restaurants and bars. The hotel itself is cozy and has the old school b & b vibe that I love. In talking with other guests, it becomes readily apparent that many are repeat guests, which reflects well on the inn.
The staff is helpful and accommodating — once we wanted a midday snack between lunch and dinner but the kitchen was closed. However, Randy let us borrow knives, cutting boards, and plates from the kitchen and sit in the dining room and eat our midday snack. Randy also makes homemade soup and apple cider everyday at around 5 pm for all the guests to have an aprés ski snack!
The rooms on the first floor are the best I think (besides the back house), with wood floors. Part of the charm is how nice and helpful Randy is. Do ask him for restaurant recommendations, as everyone knows him in town and he can suggest the best places.
Also — BREAKFAST IS AWESOME. Even if you don’t stay here, do come for the amazing breakfast/​brunch, now served until noon! Great choices, delicious well executed poached eggs. My favorite is the Greek omelette-​full of yummy veggies! The Gables Garden is also a favorite.
Did I mention breakfast (for 2) is included in the price of your room?

Upon making reservations at Gables Inn in anticipation of attending an old friends birthday celebration, it occurred to me that I recklessly neglected to check their cancellation policy. I called the inn directly and was treated with the upmost of courtesy by Randy, Gables Inn’s congenial owner/​all-​round-​good-​guy. When I explained why I needed to know as there was a very real possibility of my having to cancel, he could not of been nicer or more understanding. For this alone, Gables Inn gets my highest rating, great customer service! What a concept! I was able to attend, was given a lovely room (with a fireplace!) and a fabulous mattress, which really matters when traveling long distances via automobile. Breakfast was sublime, I indulged in Eggs Benedict one morning which was perfectly executed. For some reason many restaurants never get the egg right and you end up with hard boiled egg on English muffin with curdled Hollandaise sauce. Not so at Gables Inn where their Eggs Benedict is done to perfection. The second day I had standard (perfectly cooked) eggs over easy with bacon & home fries. Gables Inn takes their coffee seriously, the Johnny-​on-​the-​spot servers make sure you never get below the half way mark before offering more perfectly brewed Java. The menu was varied and by the looks of the crowd that gathered to wait, Gables Inn is obviously the local favorite. They even had Matzo Brie, something I have not seen on a breakfast menu since I moved out of New York & certainly never in New England! I love Gables Inn & hope to have the opportunity of returning, next time with my husband for a romantic «Weekend in New England!»

We slept at the Gables Inn last weekend to attend the Hot Air Balloon Festival, which was a short walk away.
The overall experience was good but the breakfast service in the morning was extremely slow.
When we arrived Saturday afternoon, we were greeted by the owner’s mother and some other guests who were sitting in the living room. (There are no TVs in the bedrooms, but they did have good Wifi.) There were a couple of small dogs running around, including a very cute newborn puppy that urinated on the living room rug (which was quickly cleaned up, but still…)
Our bedroom had a lot of old-​charm character, and it was very clean with a good air conditioner and clean bathroom.
The only real complaint I would have was the breakfast service in the morning. It was probably the busiest weekend of the summer because of the Hot Air Balloon Festival and there were only two servers. We had a half-​hour wait, and then waited another 40 minutes for the food. The food was free because we stayed at the inn, and it was delicious. The employees were also very friendly.

Great breakfast, perfectly cooked eggs and pancakes. Had the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise had a different tang flavor that I liked. My boyfriend had simple over easy eggs and bacon and toast and said it was also perfect

My husband and I had breakfast at the Gables Inn this morning. We had wonderful omelettes and great coffee! We will return.

I recently took a ‘beercation’ to VT where I checked out several different breweries and drank my fair share of great tasting local beer. I chose to stay at the Gables as it was reasonably priced and was in a great location for where I wanted to be. I shall start by saying that the Gables will make you feel like you are home. On more than one occasion, I chatted with the owner Randy and his mother Susan who were extremely friendly and accommodating.
I booked a master bedroom but was upgraded to a suite for no extra charge! The room was spacious with it’s own bathroom, bathtub, couch, tv, and nice sized bed. Breakfast every morning was truly a treat. The omelettes are massive, bacon, and sausage are delicious and everything is so fresh tasting.
I was so sad when I had to leave the Gables as it was such a stellar experience. I will definitely come back to VT again one day and I don’t need to think twice about where I’ll be staying.

Great place for a reasonably priced, simple breakfast. Blueberry pancakes were great!

Very clean, great breakfast! Can’t beat this lovely Vermont inn. I stayed at the end of October and felt comfortable and safe while traveling alone. I hope to make a trip back someday!

Just returned from a recent stay at The Gables and felt compelled to write a review not only for the inn itself, but for Randy the owner and his staff, which deliver on the quintessential Vermont bed & breakfast-​style experience, with great proximity and location to Stowe Mountain Resort. The Gables offers quaint and cozy farmhouse-​style accommodations with a spacious communal living room and restaurant, with plenty of comfortable seating and wood-​burning fireplace perfect for those cold winter afternoons and nights. We were impressed with the cleanliness all around, and our room well-​suited our needs with fresh towels and linens, while we were out. We stayed three nights and was blown away by the all-​around hospitality received. From homemade soups and walnut cake every afternoon, to Randy’s time spent offering activity and dinner recommendations, we were guided to what delivered on being a very enjoyable trip. Don’t think twice in booking your stay here; the quality of breakfast alone makes this one of the best values in Stowe and we’ll certainly be back. I assume our next stay will feel more like returning to an old friends’ house, as this speaks to the first-​class establishment Randy is running. Well done!

Delicious breakfast in a super charming setting. Best food we found in Stowe, highly recommend!

The Gables gets an automatic 4 * for Randy and crew’s hospitality. It’s like staying with friends of friends when traveling. That is if it’s your first stay; we met people who’d been staying there at xmastime going back years. For them it’s staying with friends! It’s super down to earth and friendly, plus Randy makes soup every afternoon (winter only?) and a hearty New England breakfast. I bump it up to 5 for the value, proximity to the mountain and village, and the connection to the community you’ll get.
Don’t go there looking for a posh spa experience. Go there to chill among families, couples, and singles who use it as a home base for mountain activities and Vermont culture. Be as gregarious or introverted as you feel. Just don’t be snobby.

Gables Inn offers a tasty, local breakfast in a quaint, charming setting.
Along with good, well-​rounded coffee, and delicious pastries, Gables has a traditional breakfast menu that features simple, flavorful combinations. The food is nicely prepared and made from fresh ingredients. A few standouts: eggs benedict, coffee cake, and french toast.
The service is accommodating and friendly, albeit a little slow. Since the hotel is small, the dining area is often understaffed. This area includes both an indoor dining room and a closed-​in porch. Try to get a place on the porch: it’s a great morning spot.
Needless to say, a perfect locale for Sunday brunch in Stowe.

On Memorial Day 2014, we stopped by for a quick breakfast at this nice and quaint B&B. I would highly recommend the place. The hostess Sheree Lambert was very accomodating. The server (and service) was quite good. Prices were reasonable. And most importantly, the coffee, omelette, toast and eggs benedict were excellent.

Exactly what you would want from a Vermont B & B.
Randy, the owner, runs a great place. Our room was big and spacious with a great fireplace, and he got us a room that allowed our dogs.
Soup in the afternoons and they lent my wife a blow dryer.
It is centrally located in Stowe, but you feel like you are out on your own.
If we ever go back to Stowe, we will definitely stay here again.
They run a breakfast restaurant out of the B & B and the food there was excellent.

Randy runs a warm and wonderfully friendly inn; we have stayed here the past two years and the Gables has become the kind of place where when visiting you go out to eat in town with the owner and you meet guests who return year in and out and do the same and consider Randy to be a friend who happens to own the inn they vacation at.
Extremely reasonably priced with a great variety of rooms and only a short ten minute drive to Stowe Mountain Resort, the Gables is the place where travelers who want an authentic Vermont experience while avoiding the sometimes ostentatious side of Stowe. An added bonus of staying at the Gables is that breakfast is included, and I mean like you have a variety of options to choose from and Randy really knocks it out of the park. And as a final bonus after you’re day of activity return in the late afternoon to find a big complementary pot of homemade soup simmering next to a pot of hot apple cider.

Good pancakes and great service. Nothing to complain about. We were there on a Monday and it wasn’t crowded at all. I’ve heard weekends can slow down the service.
