Greenock House Inn

At Greenock House Inn, you will stay in a restful, relaxing setting and enjoy gourmet meals and genteel company. Greenock is a beautiful Victorian home dating from the 1880’s. The house sits on five gorgeous acres, which secludes it from the town. We love to share our passion for food with our guests. You can sit on the wraparound porch to enjoy the country breeze along with your evening hors d’oeuvres. Experience a candlelit Prix Fixe dinner in our formal dining room. In the morning, indulge in a gourmet breakfast including one of our Pastry Chef’s sinful desserts.
