A family-owned country inn built in 1821 by husband & wife team, Mark Hampson and Stacey Marcin.

  • Located between the Cornwall Covered Bridge & Kent Falls State Park 💦
  • Continental breakfast each morning (no lunch or dinner)
  • Their Country Lodge is a separate building with 8 pet-friendly rooms
