Our circa 1748 Waterfront Inn offers different sized rooms – some with Queen beds and some with King. Furnished with antiques, all rooms feature modern bathrooms, some with jetted bathtubs. Many of our rooms feature gas fireplaces seasonally. All rooms also include irons and ironing boards, hairdryers and toiletries.

Every morning brings stunning views of Oak Creek. And also a hot breakfast with seasonal fresh fruit, homemade croissants, and a choice of a savory or sweet hot entrée, such as French toast, savory pancakes or omelets sure to leave you with no room for lunch. Enjoy your breakfast in the dining room, or take a cup of coffee out to the terrace for a better view of the creek. We also offer complimentary beverages in the living room area.
