    Encompassing six scenic acres, Kirkwood Inn is conveniently located only minutes from Kings Island amusement park between thriving Mason and historic Lebanon, Ohio. This country inn offers privacy, beautifully decorated rooms and modern amenities. Kirkwood Inn is famous for its complimentary, hot, country-style breakfast buffet served in the Historic Kirkwood House (circa 1799), a dining experience that offers guests unprecedented colonial surroundings and bed and breakfast appeal. Guestrooms have wireless internet, cable television, refrigerators, guest laundry access and more. Experience the best of both worlds: the privacy of personal accommodation and the colonial ambiance of the historic home while enjoying breakfast. Swim in the immaculate outdoor pool, relax in the garden-side gazebo and explore the colorful perennial flower gardens and nature trail. The top-rated property, which accommodated stagecoach travelers in the early 1800s, continues to offer a unique retreat for couples, families, business travelers and other groups.

    Our Stay

    November 28, 2012

    We were very pleased with our stay at Kirkwood Inn because of the friendliness of the staff, Cleanliness of the room and facility plus the brunch was very nice. We were referred to you by our friends and we would stay again.

    Cozy little place off the beaten track...

    November 27, 2012

    The Kirkwood Inn is a nice place. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Quaint little breakfast setting. Decent food. Good price for what you get. Yes, the rooms do need some updating. Yes, it is a little misleading that you do not actually stay at the historic home, but in a small motel next to the home. Overall, I would visit again. We stayed the night before Thanksgiving and it was quiet and not crowded at all. Just what we were looking for. During breakfast I requested a recipe of one of the dishes they were serving. The ladies there were more than willing to share it with me. Four stars overall.

    Stayed for Miami U Family Weekend

    November 14, 2012

    Rooms were clean and comfortable. They are in a motel-style 2-story building. The original historic home is used only for the breakfast. The food was very good, and the staff was friendly. Would stay again.

    Nice but.........

    November 13, 2012

    I will start off by stating the overall stay satisfaction rate is 4 stars. The room was very clean and had plenty of room for a family of four. The room was quiet too, the Inn was full and we did not hear our neighbors. The breakfast that was served was incredible, great selection of freshly cooked food served with a smile, very nice!!!!! The staff was kind and friendly. My one and only complaint was the bed!!!! If you like a firm mattress then you have found the perfect place to stay, unfortunately my family and I are NOT into sleeping on a firm mattress so that killed the 5 star rating from us.

    Our stay was excellent. It was off season, so the area was very quiet. The breakfast and lady who prepared it very friendly. Would stay at this Inn again.

    Great Bed And Breakfast

    October 23, 2012

    This was our third time that we stayed at the Kirkwood Inn. It is a great place for a family to stay. It is located close to Lebanon and Waynesville. This makes it a great location for antiquing. The rooms are very clean and the breakfasts are exceptional.
