The Gables Inn was a historic inn in Stowe, Vermont, United States. Located on the Mountain Road, Vermont Route 108, [1] it was built in 1840 and was converted into an inn in 1938. [2] It was demolished in 2020, having closed two years earlier. [2] [3]

The main inn consisted of twelve bedrooms, while two annex buildings (the Carriage House and the Riverview Suites) contained four and two rooms, respectively. [4] (In 1994, the New York Times stated the inn had nineteen rooms, not eighteen.) [5]

The last proprietors of the inn were New York natives Randy Stern and Annette Monachelli, who purchased it in September 1999 from Sol, Lynn and Josh Baumrind. [6] Shortly afterward, Stern posted an advert in the Stowe Reporter saying: "The leaves will change; The Gables will not." Stern became the chef for the inn's restaurant, which had been noted for its breakfasts, [7] [8] and Monachelli was the inn's hostess. [9] Monachelli, a former attorney, died in 2013, of complications following a cerebral aneurysm she had around a week earlier. She was 47. [10] [11]

In 2019, Stern sold the inn to Eric and Robin Gershman and moved to Waterbury, Vermont. [12] [11] After consulting with an engineer, the Gershmans decided that the building's substandard condition meant it was more prudent to raze the structure rather than renovate it. [3] As of 2022, the site of the inn remains vacant. The Carriage House, [4] which was built by the Baumrinds adjacent to the inn to the northeast, is still in use, as are the Riverview Suites a short distance to the southwest, on Meadow Lane.
