Sable Inn Bed and Breakfast is located in Foley, MN, run by Bill and Sandy Stevens. The inn is housed in a historic 1901 home — originally built by town namesake John Foley — that the Stevens rescued from demolition, relocated to their property, and spent a decade restoring. It features five rooms, a private 4-acre stocked pond with a beach, canoes, kayaks, a Finnish sauna, cross-country ski trails, and a full breakfast each morning. Unlike most B&Bs, the owners live next door rather than in the house, giving guests extra privacy.

Did you know that just down the road in Foley is a beautiful, quiet, relaxing Bed & Breakfast? You do know. Meet the Sable Inn, run by Bill and Sandy Stevens.
