Four spacious guest rooms and friendly inn keeper welcome you to this Victorian mansion, begun in 1867 and taking nearly a decade to complete. Sprawling porches filled with ferns and white wicker furniture in the summer and changing seasonal decorations throughout the year are framed with gingerbread from Stick Style architecture. Antiques abound with Victorian decorations. Walk off your breakfast to the downtown shops just two blocks away, or take a short drive to the nearby Antique Mall, golf courses, Kent State, Hiram and NEOUCOM Universities, Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom Park, Aurora Premium Outlets, Parks and other attractions.

5 out of 5Excellent place to stay in Northwest Ohio
March 22, 2013
My wife and I recently stayed at the Rocking Horse Inn for one night and really enjoyed ourselves. While there is not much in the town of Ravenna, the Inn is conveniently close to places like Cleveland, Kent, Youngstown, Canton, Cuyahoga Falls, etc. The rooms are very nice, there are ample snacks available 24/7, and the continental plus breakfast is a great deal. The breakfast is nice and you don't have to pay the much higher cost of staying in a B&B with a full breakfast. We were in town for a running race, so it was perfect for our needs. Bob, the owner, was very kind and attentive. We highly recommend the Inn.

Owner was very attentive but not intrusive; accommodations were clean, comfortable, and there was much attention to detail. Very relaxing! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

I spent two nights there and was very impressed. The Inn Keeper could not have been nicer and kinder. The room was Victorian in looks only, with lots of modern amenities -- comfy towels, new sheets, both hard and soft pillows. The array of snacks and beverages offered throughout the day was phenomenal. I'd go back in a heartbeat!
5 out of 5Comfortable, quirky, charming

We had a large room with private bath and access to another bathroom (with a sunken tub!). There were snacks and drinks available all the time, as well as a lovely breakfast in the morning! Highly recommended.

3.2 out of 5Little things add to pleasurable stay
August 15, 2012
I would definitely go back to the Rocking Horse Inn. Little amenities such as a snacks and beverages 24 hours a day added to the value. Okay, you won't get an omelette or other hot breakfast, but its "continental breakfast plus" is plenty. Just baked (still hot) banana bread, oatmeal, cereals, fruits, even hard boiled eggs... The owner, Bob, is very cordial and fun. It was very clean; even had sanitized-wrapped drinking glasses in the bathroom.

Landscaping looking like a page in a garden book. Library at our disposal.Large fully stocked refrigerator. Coffe, tea. and hotchocolate available 24/7. Offstreet parking.
4.2 out of 5Great value
February 27, 2012
The Rocking Horse Inn was a great value. We could have lived for a week off the variety of snacks available 24/7 in the kitchen. The Hot Tub was clean and a great way to relax. The Barrel Run Winery was a short 12 minute drive away. The exterior of the house is in need of a paint job as well as some minor cosmetic work inside but nothing that took away from our experience. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again.
