  • Inn Details

    Acorn Inn offers three charming lodging options, all including a generous "continental plus" breakfast of homemade breads and fruit cobbler in season. The Cottage (kitchen/bath) sleeps a family of four comfortably, and is perfect for those seeking privacy. The Inn - once a horse stable, now a contemporary lodge filled with tapestries, masks, and international folk art - features ten cozy bedrooms, a skylit lounge with cathedral ceiling, soapstone fireplace, kitchenette and men's and women's baths/showers. An 800-square-foot meeting room (Reception Gallery), makes it ideal for corporate retreats, creative workshops, reunions or group events of any kind. The Farmhouse, home of the innkeepers, has two queen-bedded guest rooms, sharing a bath, and is open only when Cottage and Inn are occupied. Kathy is an accomplished photographer/printmaker and Martin is a world-class cyclist from the Netherlands.

    October in Nelson county is beautiful, and Acorn Inn was perfect! Kathy and Martin are very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable hosts. The rooms (stalls!) are cozy and comfortable, the bathrooms fine, the whole place is spotless. The towels even smell like a mountain morning. But the star of the place is the FOOD! We were totally spoiled by the variety of home made offerings each morning. If you are staying in Nelson county, forget the high-priced places. Stay at Acorn Inn.

    I rented the Reception Area for our Granddaughters Wedding Reception and we also rented the 10 rooms in the inn for family and friends. Kathy and Martin were so helpful, we couldn't have done it with out them. There was nothing we asked for that they didn't provide and help us with. I would recommend this Inn for Family events of any kind. We are going to plan more family get togethers there. Look for pictures coming soon on their web site we are planning on sending them. It was a wonderful weekend. They are the best Inn keepers and just wonderful people. The Breads were the best in the morning with our coffee. Can't wait to visit again. Kay and Bobby Knight

    My wife and I do the art and craft circuit. We found the Acorn in to be very reasonably priced, clean, and wonderful hosts in Kathy and Martin. We stayed in the converted stable so rooms were a little small and we had shared bathrooms. Very festive atmosphere as place is decorated with many art pieces of Kathy and those collected from their world travels. You will not find anyone more knowledgable about bike touring.

    I had a great experience at the Acorn Inn last fall. The innkeepers are very helpful, they cook the best bread and muffins in the area, and the coffee is remarkable! Very celan rooms and restrooms. This is a gorgous, quite place, great for a getaway.
