An adults-only 1869 estate built for the kind of weekend you remember years later.
Dates fill quickly for peak weekends. Check live availability or speak with our innkeeper.
The best romantic getaways in Kentucky aren't on a downtown block. They are off the highway, down a tree-lined drive, where the Ohio River does the talking and your phone stops buzzing.
Riverside Inn is five suites, 6.5 acres, and one slow weekend at a time. Couples come for an anniversary, a Valentine's escape, or simply because they need each other back.
Friday. Arrive by 4pm, settle into your suite, walk the gardens. Dinner at a riverfront restaurant in nearby Carrollton, then a nightcap on the porch.
Saturday. Slow breakfast, drive the Riverside Wine Trail, stop at a bourbon distillery, unwind with a treatment at our on-site spa, return for a sunset on the lawn.
Sunday. One last breakfast, a walk along the river, and the drive home, already planning the next visit.
Spring blossoms in the orchard, summer river sunsets, autumn color along the bluffs, and a Christmas season where the inn glows by candlelight. There is no off-season for a getaway here.
"We didn't realize how badly we needed quiet." "The breakfast alone is worth the drive." "We've already booked our anniversary for next year." Read more in our journal entries on slow weekends.
Romance weekends fill quickly between February and November. Check live availability for the next two months and reserve your suite tonight.
