The Inn at 161

This Inn is amazing! Incredibly comfortable bed, very homey feel. Extremely nice staff. I totally recommend this B&B.

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!!

Loved this place. My wife and I booked a king room for our anniversary. Kari checked us in and was very helpful. She gave us a couple of vouchers for local wine tasting (Rancho Victoria - check them out) and that didn't disappoint. She was also great the next morning during the breakfast served there. Overall the room was cozy and quiet and great proximity to town, which is walking distance away. We'd definitely stay here again.

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!

We absolutely loved this B&B! We were needing some down time and we spent four nights there. Our room was perfect and cozy! The sisters (owners) were very attentive and personable! The breakfasts were yummy and just the right size. We would highly recommend to everyone and hope we will be able to return in the near future! Bill & Kathy McNeil - St. George, UT

AVOID THIS PLACE!We stayed one night. That part was fine, although in truth it had been much better when we stayed in the past under different ownership. But HERE'S where you get a real sense of the place.My wife and I had to leave unexpectedly due to an extreme family emergency. We notified Mary very early at 8:30am on the morning of our 2nd day (PLENTY of notice to re-rent room if that's what they wanted), who told us that if it was up to her she'd certainly provide a refund for 2nd night, but it was up to Kerry, the GM, who'd be in later.Long story short, even explaining everything, providing early notice, a note, and a followup call from the road home, we were turned down flat. THIS PLACE FEIGNS CARING ABOUT IT'S GUESTS, BUT IT'S ALL A HOLLOW ACT. No real compassion, just a pretty craven money grab. I say this having owned several successful businesses. You can ALWAYS do right by your customers.So, in summary, we arrived at 5pm, left at 9am, hardly mussed the sheets, didn't even take showers, and were forced to pay for 2 nights. Needless to say, we'll never be back. There are too many other better alternatives. And, it really isn't about the money at all but the lack of empathy, caring and, most of all, class. I never write negative reviews, but I just had to this time. BUYER BEWARE with this place.

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

Excellent place to stay in Sutter Creek. The ladies that run the Inn are very nice and extremely friendly. The breakfast was excellent and the Inn is at a great location.

My husband and I have stayed in many a hotel, motel, Inn, and B&Bs and I have never posted a review until now (I am 65 so I speak from experience). The Inn at 161 in Sutter Creek, California was perfect. I have no suggestions for a better experience and nothing to criticize. I recently traveled with two of my sisters and we stayed only one night but would have liked to have stayed much longer. My husband was not with me for this trip; however, without a doubt he would have approved of this Inn (And he is not easy to impress). It was impeccably clean, Carrie the owner is such a gracious and personable hostess (and called me to tell me the room was ready for us earlier than the afternoon checkin). We stayed in the two bedroom suite with a full kitchen and living room. It was so quiet and peaceful. Both the King and Queen Beds were so comfortable. The breakfast and the breakfast room were perfect and so was my cappuccino. I will be back! Loved our stay.

Our stays with the Inn at 161 have been wonderful and relaxing! Kerry and Mary have always made sure our stay would be delightful. The Inn at 161 is perfectly and centrally located with a short walk to Sutter Creek. The breakfasts in the morning provide a nice selection of food to get your day started and a chance to meet fellow guest making their way to unkown destinations. We can't wait to make plans for our next trip to Amador County and, of course, to revisit Kerry and Mary again.
