Specialties

Glorious Food — Gracious Lodging

A small, refined Long Beach Island hotel and restaurant, The Gables is a meticulously restored Victorian inn combining the charm of a fine 1890s home with contemporary comforts and the finest food and service. Our award-​winning restaurant is a destination in itself, at any time.

An overnight stay in one of our five romantic guestrooms provides a rare break from everyday stresses and strains. Complete with period furnishings and fine linens, each has a working fireplace or a free-​standing iron stove — and also includes modern amenities like a luxurious marble bathroom, flat screen TV and WIFI. A gourmet breakfast is included.

History

Established in 2006.

The Gables has seen many changes since the structure was first built in 1892 to house the summer lifeguards. Known then as Kathlyn Cottage, the spacious front porch led to the foyer, parlor, and a large dining room. In the 1970s, The Gables became the island’s first bed and breakfast. One decade later, the inn had a new incarnation as Beach Haven’s first four star fine dining restaurant.

A full restoration of this historic landmark began in November of 2005. A warren of fourteen small bedrooms has given way to five luxurious guest bedrooms with en suite marble bathrooms and working fireplaces. The Gables has been restored with loving care and meticulous attention to period detail. It remains a vital part of historic Beach Haven, offering a warm welcome, gracious lodging, and glorious food.

Our talented chef carries on the Gables tradition of fine dining. Our menu draws culinary inspiration from the seasons, while showcasing local fresh seafood, produce and wine.
