The Inn at Oneonta is a historic location in Melbourne, Kentucky that is perfect for a gorgeous river-view wedding! Be our guest and celebrate your special event surrounded in elegance and divine, natural beauty.

This amazing treasure has truly withstood the test of time and element. Once a part of a small river town, this historic home was the only structure that defied the 1937 flood. The town never rebuilt, but this home remained for the packet boat and stagecoach travelers in the area. David Hosea and his family restored this 3-story brick mansion and has elegantly appointed it throughout with wonderful artwork depicting its heritage on the Ohio River. Also present are stunning antiques from around the world that compliment the original wood floors and punched tin 20 foot high ceilings.

Sitting on almost 26 acres, there are so many options to enjoy at Oneonta. Explore the many walking trails, go fishing in the stocked onsite lake, walk down the rock stairway to sit and watch as the Mississippi Queen paddles by playing its beautiful calliope music, play pool or arcade games in the custom-built arcade which resembles an old-fashioned train station...or marry your one-and-only in our chapel or with a serene riverside setting in our gazebo. The Inn also has a stunning cathedral wedding tent complete with bandstand and hi-tech lighting just waiting to welcome up to 300 guests to dance the night away!

This stunning riverside retreat feels like you are thousands of miles away from home, yet it's just 20 minutes from Cincinnati and Newport on the Levee.

Amazing Wedding Weekend

My daughter wanted her dream Pinterest wedding, when we toured The Inn not only was my daughter and her fiancé wowed, so was her soon to be mother-in-law and myself. We choose the weekend package, my daughter lives in the area but most of the wedding party and parents lived an 1.5 hour away or more, so this worked perfect for us since the venue can sleep over 20 people.

The venue is gorgeous, the details and upkeep are exquisite. Travis and Michelle are amazing to work with. Any question we had all we had to do was call or shoot an email, they were very responsive and helpful giving ideas that we would have never thought of.

The food... Be Creative Catering which Travis owns was hands down some of the best food I've ever eaten. They served our rehearsal dinner as well. So trust me you will not be disappointed with the food.

Our experience was wonderful, Covid-19 made it questionable as if there would even be a wedding but thankfully we was able too, the weather was iffy wedding morning and afternoon, by ceremony time it was beautiful. I have to say my daughter got her Pinterest dream wedding and more!!! We love this venue!

Breathtaking, No Worries, Superb, Hardworking, Very Experienced

I put this review off because it was just too long, but I cannot help it. I am totally being honest and speaking from my heart and experience.
It was such an unforgettable weekend. The Venue is beyond beautiful and unique. It brings you back in time. A fairytale come true. From the rehearsal dinner, casual laid back Pig Roast at it's best, to a very elegant absolutely phenominal wedding reception. Meeting the guest with wine and champaign, hor d'oeuvres, cocktails to superb salmon, filet and all the trimmings.
Travis & Michelle I cannot brag enough about. Their crew all worked together with smiles and very sufficient.
Honestly, 5 stars is not enough. The Venue was immaculate, clean, beautiful and in good taste. They went above and beyond to make our weekend stay running smoothly, enjoyable and fun. Our guest are still raving about it. I heard it many times that this was the Best Wedding by far and they will never forget it.
It was hard to say goodbye, they were like family.
I have the utmost respect for them. They work so hard and it shows. Travis and Michelle really love their place and they love what they do. Their passion shows and they wear their heart on their sleeves...
Travis, Michelle and crew was absolutely incredible. They made my Son and His New Bride Dream Come True 💘
Sincerely,
Terrie
