This beautiful, older-style property offers stunning views of the river and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Located near walking trails and a park, it’s also just minutes from town, giving you easy access to everything this quaint area has to offer. We especially enjoyed spending the evening at the on-site bar and relaxing on the multi-level patio while taking in the scenic surroundings. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road, there’s no through traffic—just peace and quiet. Check-in was a breeze, thanks to Sam, who was incredibly friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. As a local, she shared some great recommendations for places to visit during our stay. The room was simple and no-frills, but had everything we needed for a comfortable night’s rest—including a super comfy king-size memory foam bed and a clean shower. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for charm, tranquility, and local hospitality!

This property was fabulous. Amazing deck, rooms were clean and updated. Amenities (bar, breakfast, etc) were great. The only complaint that I have is that there doesn't seem to be staff onsite overnight as we were woken up at 2:30am by people screaming and yelling in an obvious fight right outside our door and no staff to be found and the front desk lobby was locked. Still giving 5 stars because the fight was not their fault.

We love this Inn. This was our second visit, but I won't book through Expedia again. The rate was much higher than if we had booked direct. The people at the Inn are very nice and personable and there is a nice little bar in the lobby with outdoor seating. The rooms are clean and decorated nicely. Thank you for another nice visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying on the grounds near the Ohio River. The band playing on the balcony was very entertaining and played just until 10 pm allowing for a quiet night of sleep. The spacious grounds were well manicured and the staff was very friendly.
