    Meatlovers pizza at Gold Dust Pizza in Sutter Creek

    My wife and I returned to The Inn at 161 again this year.Kerry and Mary are such great hosts and care about making your stay the best experience that they can.We had a different room, #3 , which not only had a fireplace, but a claw foot tub/shower!!! Once again the accommodations were excellent, well maintained rooms and out side areas.The continental breakfast was very accommodating, coffee, cappuccino, espresso?? They offer a great breakfast area, bagel station, fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, and great seating areas to enjoy your choices of each! We were able to walk to the downtown area and a couple of wine tasting ( olive oil as well) locations.Tried a couple of new restaurants, and still favor Teresa's Italian, hard to beat for food and ambiance! We did try a great local pizza restaurant, Gold Dust......one of the best pizza ever!! We enjoy everything about The Inn at 161 and their attention to detail, we promise to return as soon as we can--until then we wish you Blessings galore!! Ron and Debbie

    This is one of those cute places off the main road that we have driven past for many years. For our anniversary this year, my husband booked two nights here. It's not only beautiful, but the managers were so friendly and fun. They made everyone feel at ease! They have a lovely wine and charcuterie each evening, and a nice light breakfast bar in the morning. The decor is beautifully Victorian. It was so quiet! Most of us staying here we're middle aged, but there was a wedding party of cute younger people who were very respectful. I have to say, we have never stayed in a cleaner place. Everything down to the floor was spotless. We will definitely return many more times! Loved our stay!

    May I say, AMAZING!! My husband found this little piece of heaven online for a really good price! We stayed 2 nights during the week and once we arrived the host greeted us right away and got us all checked in! The room was so fresh and clean and just beautiful. Like home away from home! I wasn't even scared to sleep on the sheets or use the pillows or blankets provided because the lien's were so clean and fresh (I typically bring my own pillows and sheets and blankets on any trip I go on. Yes I know, I am weird but I am a germ freak lol). In the morning, she provides a nice Continental breakfast to all her guest. The breakfast consists of yogurt parfaits, boiled eggs, bagels, and cream cheese, oatmeal with brown sugar and cranberries, and a nice hot cappuccino. Boy that was such a nice start to our day! My husband couldn't even wait for breakfast to come in the morning the night before. That's how good it was. Now the ONLY suggestions we have is, maybe providing a two-step little bench for the bathtub because it has such a high side to it that it's kind of hard to get into the tub because you don't have anything to really grab on to or hold on to getting in and then when your exiting the tub, the floor is a bit far down so you kinda lose your balance as getting out of the tub if you're not prepared for it. I did loose my footage and caught myself by the sink. Thank goodness. Now we stayed in room #3 and the bed was super and I mean super soft and you sleep in a indentation in the mattress where others have slept over and over so maybe it's needing a new mattress or maybe a flip. One last suggestion, maybe putting a small radio in the dining room on low playing some Frank Sinatra or some oldies but goodies for breakfast so it kinda breaks up the silence in the room and helps people fill comfortable carrying on a conversation with each other. These are just a few suggestions we thought we would share. We just want to say from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU so much for the wonderful stay and we will be back very soon to enjoy your beautiful Bed and Breakfast!!

    This was the perfect Valentines getaway! The host is amazing and upgraded our room! The inn is within walking distance to downtown Sutter Creek and many wine tasting rooms! We had a King room with a fireplace! The bed was super comfy, and the fireplace added the ambiance! Breakfast was outstanding, it's the best continental breakfast I've ever had! We will definitely be coming back!

    My son and I stayed there for two nights over the weekend and it was marvelous! I work very hard, long shifts in healthcare and I'm in graduate school. I rarely get time away, let alone an entire weekend. The staff at the inn made our stay very special. They were so welcoming and attentive. The afternoon reception and charcuterie tray was a nice touch and the breakfast spread was great. I'm sure the wine was lovely too-I just don't drink. In the morning the staff made espresso drinks to order (which is more up my alley) and the bagel toaster was really neat. The house itself is gorgeous as was our room. My absolute favorite part (and my sons) was the working fireplace in the room (it had a gas insert which worked very well). I would recommend going in the cold months so you can take advantage of this cool feature. I loved the k-cup machine in the room too. All the rooms have flat screen t.v.'s equipped disney+ and Netflix accounts (awesome, right?) and the wifi works well. There is only one drawback it's the fact that you can hear everything going on in the adjacent room. I could clearly make out what my neighbors were saying, particularly when they were in their bathroom. I believe much of the sound was coming through the vents. I wonder how they would have felt knowing someone could hear what they were saying lol! Awkward...We were in a downstairs room and it got pretty loud when the people were moving around upstairs. Especially when they were getting ready at 5:00am in the morning and packing their bags. That's the price you pay for hardwood floors in all the rooms-there is no sound insulation between the floors (maybe bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper). So between the upstairs neighbors and the people next to us it got pretty loud, but I didn't care. I don't mind knowing there's people and life around me. If I wanted sound insulation and a padded stuffy room with gross wall-to-wall carpeting and no character I would go stay at the Best Western. The inn is located very near downtown Sutter Creek and we walked to Main Street several times a day for brunch and dinner. I love strolling around historic Sutter Creek and looking at all the beautiful buildings and Victorian homes. The inn is located directly across the street from the sweetest little white chapel and I loved looking out the window at it and transporting myself back in time. We also strolled down to the creek and spent time in the lovely little park down by the water. We walked to the coffee shop Backroads every day and had the best home baked cookies I think I've ever had. The inn also has charming grounds and gardens which I imagine are lovely in the spring and summer. Our weekend getaway to the Inn at 161 and Sutter Creek was a memory I will cherish forever. My son is growing up so fast and these special time together are invaluable to me. Thank you.

    Cute B & B off the main road going into town/shops. Totally gives you that small town vibe. Parking is on a first come basis for the lot but you can park on the street. Ck-in and ck-out was easy; key pad to enter but a key to get in your room. Wine and a charcuterie board were available from 4-5 p.m. the room was clean for the most part. Towels were the only thing missing but that was quickly taken care of and they were super apologetic. The bed was SUPER comfortable and loved how they had Netflix-no need to log into your personal acct. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants.

    Awful!! Picture of tub after spitting out chunks  Not clean, or sanitary. Zoom in.

    We have stayed in Sutter Creek before and always enjoyed it, but the Grey Gables is really a great place to stay.

We truly love exploring Gold Country which is always rich with history. The Imperial Hotel is a hidden gem and I can't wait to come back. Built in 1879, but restored several times over the years the Imperial Hotel was a perfect place to grab lunch. We will definitely have to consider staying the next time we are up this way. We sat outside on the most perfect day that was a little breezy but with the perfect amount of sunshine! They have a great outdoor patio with fire pits for cooler days. We ordered the Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich with lettuce, pickled onion, aioli, and herb fries. Delicious! The chicken was really tender and the aioli was on point. We also ordered a harvest salad that had beets and sweet potatoes. It was also really flavorful. We ordered a Sauvignon Blanc and the Cinsault Blend. Both were wonderful and even better since we were able to try these local wines.

It's located in a charming off the beaten path historic Gold Country town in Amador Co. that exudes charm in every direction. Amador City is rural and hasn't changed much in many years. The Imperial is a historic hotel with overnight rooms to rent and a dining room/bar. I came for dinner and am so glad I did. Although I made a reservation, it didn't seem necessary, but I would, just in case. The interior is so warm and cozy, and the historic elements make for a beautiful backdrop. We had a nice table for two against the brick wall that was intimate and yet connected to the ambiance of the room. Our server, a delightful woman, was friendly and professional. I started with a Pick Axe Freezer Martini with gin, and oh my gosh, it was a powerhouse of flavor and exuberance. It had a delightful wallop. It comes with a round cut glass side tray of things to add- olives, onion, etc. for one's individual taste. We had the bread service with warm, freshly made bread and a sun-dried tomato, basil, and garlic sauce for spreading or dipping. DELICIOUS! For the first course, I had a bowl of the clam chowder that was superb, creamy, delicate, and nicely mixed with bacon, carrots, croutons, etc, yet seemed devoid of clams. I won't hold it against them as the soup's consistency and taste were magnificent. There were two specials, a rack of lamb or a tuna poke bowl. I had heard that the scallops were very good, but they were substituting shrimp that day. I chose the lamb, and my dining partner had the poke bowl. Both were excellent. The lamb was fresh, nicely crusted, and cooked perfectly. The only criticism is a couple of times I tasted a small clump of salt, similar to Kosher salt. Since I use little salt in my own cooking, it really hits me when it's not well integrated into a dish and/or overpowering. Overall, the meal was excellent. It was relaxed, interesting, and an adventure into history, too. This place really has it down, and I highly recommend getting there for a very nice meal amongst the historical delights.

    (1 review)

    I am going to update this review when I check out this weekend. For now, let me tell you this--The…read moreBungalow is a wonderful little house that accommodates two very comfortably. It is very well appointed and the owner did not skimp on the appointments. The sheets are at least 600 thread and the house is fully stocked. I found this gem on Air BNB and the owner, Robert, was very patient and accommodating with me. And let me tell y'all that I can be a pill when making business deals. So I looked for a place near Jackson, CA a month ago because I knew I was going to be on assignment there for a week. I did not want to stay in a hotel because I love being home and since I could not travel back and forth to my house in Sac, I decided to get me a place where I could at least cook when I wanted to and take a long, hot shower at my leisure. And I did not want to be looking for a wireless signal through the walls of a hotel. Bottom line I wanted my own space bigger than a postage stamp. So I looked at a few places and settled on The Bungalow because it looked cute and rustic and was 10 steps away from downtown & Main Street. From the beginning Robert was VERY responsive. He was also two things that are a challenge to be with me--PATIENT & ACCOMMODATING. I asked questions from the beginning about where the house was, what was provided, what was included, and could I get a reduced rate because I was staying a whole week. He patiently answered all my questions and then went on to accommodate me by telling me about the city/town where I would be staying. He also relayed that I would be the first one to stay in the house and that I could check in early and check out late if need be. Also, he gave me a rate! So I kept in touch but did not book. A week before I was due to come out I texted Robert about booking. He was PATIENT & ACCOMMODATING again and was very amenable to my terms. I even added a guest at the last minute and it was not a problem. I did; however, change my check in time and wanted to arrive early. He accommodated that as well but told me he would be in San Francisco and would leave the key for me at his Inn. I booked and it charged me the full rate. I contacted Robert to let him know and he graciously worked out the kinks as we were both new to Air BNB. He asked me to give him time and what else could I be but PATIENT & ACCOMMODATING y'all! Great, great guy. So I get to the house and it is cute. Perfectly represented online but no key. I went to the Inn and it was not there either. Turns out that the housekeeper had left the key in the house and the back door open for me. No worries. Get to the house again and Amazing it was! Beautiful. Robert calls on the house line to make sure I am good and that did it for me. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because there are two ceiling fans in the house that are old and the shakes hard when used. Plus they do not go with the decor of the house. This house is a great mix of modern and antique and it looks great. Ceiling fans are old and seem a little loose but they work. The second bedroom does not have a ceiling fan and could use one as well. What is also awesome about his space is that every last need is catered to. Both showers, oh yes did I mention two en suite bedrooms? Both showers included soaps, shampoos, and conditioners. The kitchen has EVERYTHING! Down to the seasonings for food in the cabinets! The kitchen is fully stocked, even with wine glasses! This is wine country and Robert thought of everything, or Mrs. Robert did I am sure. There are extra towels, a washer and dryer that comes with detergent and bleach y'all! Outdoor seating is provided on the front and back porches and there is private parking for one car in front of the house. One other complaint is that there is no choice to pull a shade down on the front door. The front door is beautiful and has a beautiful glass insert that looks out into the street and you can see in. I had to put up foil to cover it as I like to move around and do not like knowing someone could be on the street seeing me thusly. The Bungalow is so beautifully appointed and well thought out that these few mismatched things are of no issue. It does not come with housekeeping and I am not the type to even want housekeeping when in a hotel. Hence the reason for me wanting a private home. This home is not lived in and is rented and that is a great thing. I love The Bungalow and will be back to explore the town and stay there. Robert has not come over to meet me as of yet but I will make sure that I go and meet him before I leave. Great property, great owner, great week. I will update this review when I leave.
