Riverside Gables B&B This sprawling Victorian home was first built in 1868 by Berea’s first physician. Each of the four guest rooms has it’s own unique color scheme and decor, such as the vintage Creekwood or Ewing, which has Italian villa vibes. Gather in the red barn in the backyard to shoot pool or watch TV with fellow guests. Or if the weather’s right, lounge in a hammock or outdoor chair, enjoying your morning coffee by the small waterfall pond. Maribeth Ryan’s breakfast specialties are can’t miss, such as an open-faced BLT on a croissant with egg or apple pancake made in a skillet in the oven. And you probably won’t miss it, since she’s happy to cater to people’s busy schedules. “Breakfast is on-demand,” she says, “if you need it at 6:30 am, that’s when you get it.” 50 N. Rocky River Dr, Berea. (440)-829-6360, riversidegablesbb.com

Loved by our guests

"I rented the entire house for my out of town guests who were attending a family celebration and everyone absolutely loved this place. It was so cozy and comfortable. The furniture was beautiful and everything was very clean. Maribeth was such a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and well fed. I highly recommend staying here."
Kathleen Fox

Our room was fabulous| (very comfortable bed) , great kitchenette on second floor and wonderful breakfast in the morning. I would definitely stay hear again on a future trip."
Peter Bout
"My daughter and I stayed here for a visit at Baldwin Wallace. The B&B is very conveniently located. We loved the house and the town. They have thought of every detail and are very hospitable. Catherine, the owner, also remembered my daughter's dietary restrictions and made us lovely, delicious breakfasts. I hope to have the chance to stay here again."
Alice M
"Riverside Gables Bed and Breakfast was wonderful in every way. The breakfasts were especially delicious and offered at the time of our choice. The grounds outside were lovely with plenty of furniture to enjoy. The extra sitting room and common area were very convenient and comfortable with extra snacks and drinks. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet. The hostess was friendly and always helpful. We hope to stay there again someday soon."
Lorrie Reid
"We enjoyed two nights at Riverside Gables B&B this past weekend and plan to stay again when we return to the Cleveland area. We chose this location because EV charging is available, but found the B&B provided ever so much more. Our room was quiet, beautifully decorated, with a comfortable bed, a connected bathroom, and free wifi."
Susan Poulos
"This bed and breakfast is fantastic! Beautifully decorated throughout, the cleanest rooms, and incredible hosts! They were extremely accommodating of my late and ever changing arrival time since I was driving across the country. Fabulous allergy-friendly homemade breakfast with coffee and juice in the morning at a time of my choosing. Comfortable, luxurious beds, very clean, well-appointed bathroom with a large shower. I had everything I needed and more, all while my Tesla charged overnight on the property. I will definitely be back! A true 5-star experience."
