Riverside Inn Joins Select Registry: The Newest and Only Member in the Cincinnati Area

October 8, 2026 · Rachel Ely

We have some news we are proud to share. Riverside Inn is now the newest and only Select Registry member in the Cincinnati area, and roughly halfway to each major city around it.

Why this matters to us

Running an inn is a long list of small decisions: how a room smells when you walk in, how breakfast is timed, how a wedding day is paced so nobody feels rushed. Most of them go unnoticed when they are done well. Select Registry is a recognition that those details are being noticed by people who know what good innkeeping looks like.

"We have spent the last two years revitalizing this 1869 estate, the house and the grounds around it, and caring for the people who stay here. Joining Select Registry is a way of saying that standard matters to us, and of making it easier for a couple who has never been here to trust what they are about to book." Rachel Ely, Innkeeper

What it means if you are planning a wedding

Choosing a venue from photos is a leap of faith. A membership like this does not replace seeing the place, but it gives you one more reason to feel confident before you do.

Here is what stays the same: a boutique, hands-on wedding on 6.5 acres above the Ohio River, with the gazebo, the gardens, the grand tents and the historic house all on one private property. We still cap our weddings small so that each one gets real attention.

If you are weighing venues, read our guide to how to choose a wedding venue you can trust, then request a wedding tour and see the property for yourself.

What it means if you are planning a stay

Riverside Inn is an adults-only bed and breakfast with five distinct suites, a full breakfast, and a porch built for slow mornings. If you are looking for a quiet getaway within easy reach of Cincinnati, the Rooms & Suites page is the best place to start, and our midweek couples retreat is a popular way to try the Inn for the first time.

Roughly halfway to everywhere

Warsaw sits on the Ohio River at a useful midpoint. Cincinnati is less than an hour away, and Louisville, Lexington and Columbus are each a comfortable drive. For wedding guests traveling in from different cities, that central location can make the day easier on everyone. Read more about wedding venues near Cincinnati.
