Inn Details

Tucker House is an 1840 National Register homestead that has been meticulously restored to its original simple beauty. Set upon five gorgeous acres which include woods, a spring-fed lake, the original stone springhouse, gardens and a huge in-ground pool, this brick, Federal-style farmhouse is only fifteen minutes to downtown and two minutes from a major interstate highway. Inside you will find the original cherry staircase and poplar-board floors, seven fireplaces, seeded-glass window panes, and rooms filled with antiques of the early 1800's. In the morning, you will awaken to the aromas of freshly-ground coffee brewing and bacon on the griddle. Your sumptuous breakfasts may either be served to you in the formal dining room on antique china, in the sunlit gathering room on Kentucky pottery, or on the deck overlooking the woods and gardens. We warmly invite you to come and enjoy the history, beauty and hospitality that await you here at Tucker House!
