Established in 1892.

Susie was running a small Culinary School in Los Gatos, CA and I was in Marketing when we met. Two months later we started talking about things we could do together, & work this hard for ourselves. Since we were sipping wine in her backyard, I mentioned a B&B. She said «I’ve never stayed in one.» On Saturday we drove up to Napa & talked to Caroline Roberts, our Realitor. She said there are 3 in the area– 2 in Calistoga and 1 in Napa. We drove to Calistoga– they were cute little 4 bedroom places w/​lace and teddybears.

Meet the Business Owner

Ken and Susie P.

Business Owner

Ken started as an Electronics Engineer and moved into Semiconductor Marketing in Sunnyvale, CA. Susie had been in hospitality and was running a small Culinary School in Los Gatos, CA.

They met and within several months purchased the Cedar Gables Inn. Before they purchased the Inn they read the books and found out that there were three things that were required to make a Bed and Breakfast run successfully.

1. Someone needs to know how to Cook (That is Susie– She is fabulous in the kitchen and has started cooking classes)

2. Someone needs to know how to fix things (That is Ken– he can fix almost anything)

3. Both people have to like being around people (Ken & Susie both came from big families and love visiting in the Old English Tavern in the Cedar Gables Inn)
