    The Gridley Inn managed all the vintage charm with none of the inconvenience. Everything seemed newly installed/painted/decorated. The breakfast was unexpectedly different.. Dutch Babies! (a fancy variation on pancakes, with apple.) I would...

    Wonderful B&B. Small-town location that makes a great jump-off point for exploring the area. Breakfasts were lovely and Steph was a wonderful host. Nice that it’s within walking distance of several restaurants.

Company info

Originally from Omaha, Nebraska. I went to school for Culinary Arts at SUNY Adirondack, and worked as a chef in Saratoga Springs, before teaching culinary. In Oct of 2016 we purchased The Gridley Inn, and have been working on making wonderful experiences for our guest ever since. In my spare time, I admit, I am a gamer, and also enjoy Japanese Ricci Mahjong.

Property info

The first time I stepped foot into this house, I knew it was more than a home, it was a living experience. The antique character and style of the architecture, harkens to a time when things were built with great thought and care. My wife and I knew, that this home was a place where joy, company, good food, and music were meant to be.

Neighborhood info

Waterloo has been a kind and warm place, the neighbors are sweet, and have been regulars at the popular Acoustic Thursday concert series we hold from Jan to Mar. The history is amazing here too, and you can’t go a half block without discovering a fascinating story that shaped America, or at least this little piece of it.
