An Unforgettable Visit

Whether you are coming to relax, get outdoors, shop, create, or a combination of all of these, we've got you covered. Only fifteen minutes from Berea and less than an hour from Lexington, there are plenty of options to make your stay memorable.

One thing to keep in mind, we are in a dry county. Berea, which is fifteen minutes away, has alcohol sales in some restaurants, but you cannot purchase alcohol at a store within about thirty minutes from our Inn. If you would like to enjoy a bottle of wine or other drinks, you may want to purchase them prior to your visit. We will be happy to refrigerate anything you bring, if needed.
