Why Riverside Inn

Cincinnati has plenty of hotels. What it does not have, inside the city, is a quiet 1869 mansion on six and a half private acres where the innkeepers know your name, breakfast is cooked to order, and the loudest thing you hear in the evening is the river.

Riverside Inn is close enough for a spontaneous Friday drive and far enough that the week actually lets go of you.

The drive, in plain terms

From downtown Cincinnati it is about an hour southwest along I-71 and US-42. From Hyde Park roughly 50 minutes, Mason about 60, Anderson Township about 55, and the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky International Airport about 45. I-71 access is fifteen minutes from the front gates, so you are settled in your suite with a glass of wine within an hour of leaving the city.

An easy two-night escape from the city

Friday. Leave Cincinnati after work, arrive in time for a porch sunset, then dinner at Jewell's on Main in Warsaw or Mia Vejo in Carrollton.

Saturday. Gourmet breakfast, a morning on the grounds, then an afternoon on the Riverside Wine Trail or at a Kentucky bourbon distillery. Dinner at Sunset Grill on the river or 19 Steak at Belterra.

Sunday. One more breakfast, a slow walk to the river overlook, and home by early afternoon.
