The property was stunning. Tate was very helpful.

We held a surprise birthday party at the property and my family had nothing but glowing reviews. I highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of holding a function here.

Waters Wedding

Wonderful, historic property! We thoroughly enjoyed being able to have the family in one house to spend time together before and after the wedding. Ravine Gardens was the wedding venue. The park is so close and beautiful.

VOW RENEWAL

We renewed our marriage vows after 22 years of marriage (pandemic forced us to miss 20 years). Had family and friends attend. Renewal took place on a boat and then we all stayed at the house overnight. Absolutely beautiful home and the host is wonderful.

A Timeless Treasure

Our family stayed in this wonderful inn for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding in Pomona Park. Everyone loved the inn. We enjoyed the warm greeting and tour by our host, Tate, and appreciated learning about the history of the property. Everyone slept very comfortably in their rooms, and we enjoyed gathering in the parlor and dining room for family conversations. It was a unique experience for our family, one that my in- laws are still talking about. Thank you, Tate, for preserving such a gem for others to enjoy. It was truly delightful.

Blown Away

We rented the INN to host a murder mystery party for me/my wife's birthday. The INN is aesthetically amazing and the amenities were fantastic. Our guests were blown away by the setting it created for the party. I'm sure they will be talking about this for years to come and we plan to come back and do this again, it was a huge success. Tate, the owner, was accommodating, responsive, and kind. He gave me and my wife a tour of the INN before guests arrived and shared the fascinating history and (secret) details of the property. 10/10 experience. Cannot recommend it enough. If you are considering doing something similar here, you will not be disappointed!
