High up on a hill to see the Ohio River. Main street is filled with shops and eateries. Lots of antique stores. Easy walk from main street to park like riverfront.

Beautiful location: with one side having balconies looking over the town and hills around. Older Inn. Little extra touches in the room & bath. Not seen in most new hotels. Met guests who love the place enough to return many vacations. Employees (all) greeted everyone, and they were smiling!
