Why Riverside Inn

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.

A two-night Kentucky weekend, planned for you

Friday. Arrive by 4pm, settle into your suite, walk the gardens. Dinner at Jewell's on Main in Warsaw or Mia Vejo in 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, dinner at Sunset Grill on the river or 19 Steak at Belterra, 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.

Frequently Asked

Questions guests ask

What makes Riverside Inn a romantic destination?

We are an adults-only historic inn on the Ohio River with five private king suites, no televisions in common spaces, candlelit breakfasts, an on-site spa, and a quiet 6.5-acre estate. The whole property is designed for couples.

What is there to do on a romantic weekend nearby?

The Riverside Wine Trail, bourbon distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, riverboat dining in Cincinnati, the Hops on the River brewery loop, and scenic drives through horse country are all within an easy day trip.

Do you offer special couples packages?

Yes. Our promotions page lists seasonal romance packages including Valentine's weekends, anniversary stays, and curated sip and savour experiences.

Is breakfast included?

A full hot breakfast is included every morning and served at private two-tops or in the garden when weather allows.

Are children allowed?

No. Riverside Inn is adults-only, which is part of why our couples come back year after year.

What do the suites run per night?

Suites are $235 to $290 per night depending on the suite and the season, with a full hot breakfast for two included.

Which suite should we request?

The Tulip has the best Ohio River views. The Linden is a guest favorite. The Oak is first-floor and fully accessible. The Magnolia and Chestnut are front-of-house with classic estate views. All five suites have king beds and private baths, and none have tubs, just thoughtful walk-in showers.

Where do guests go for dinner?

Jewell's on Main and West Side Diner in Warsaw, Sunset Grill on the river, Mia Vejo in Carrollton, and the dining options at Belterra Casino are all within 15 minutes. The full list with notes is on our dining page.
