Pacific Grove, CA 93950
United States of America
Innkeeper(s): Susan Flatley Wheelwright & Ed Flatley

Circa 1886. Imagine the picturesque and romantic setting of Seven Gables Inn in Pacific Grove, California with waves crashing along the rocky shoreline of the Pacific Ocean. Sea otters and whales are viewed regularly from this elegant inn. Sunsets accent the surrounding mountains. The natural beauty is complemented by an eclectic selection of comfortable accommodations and furnishings in a cluster of seven historic buildings. Stay in the three-story 1886 Main House, Arbor Garden Cottage, Carriage House, Seaview Cottage, Guest House, Jewell Cottage or the Beach House. Savor a bountiful breakfast and gather for afternoon wine and cheese. Munch on homemade cookies served with milk in the evening. Outstanding service and hospitality make this inn an especially delightful retreat.

Built in 1886 this elegant inn offers an abundance of charm.The sunset upon the surrounding mountains and sunrise on the sea,what more could one ask for.The soothing sounds of the waves crashing while relaxing in the romantic suites filled with antiques of the era make this Inn a great Honeymoon retreat.

Just spent three days at Seven Gables. Actually a group of several buildings, some newer, some older. All exceptionally clean and well cared for. Knowledgeable staff. Convenient location. Watched otters and seals in the morning from breakfast room. Only negative was gray weather while we were there.
