Historic Bed & Breakfast and Wedding Venue on the Ohio River.
Adults-only romantic stays and intimate boutique weddings at an 1869 riverfront estate in Warsaw, Kentucky, less than an hour from Cincinnati and about an hour from Louisville. Winner of the 2026 Best of Kentucky Wedding Venue and Booking.com Traveler Review Awards.
A historic riverfront estate for romantic stays and boutique weddings.
Riverside Inn is a restored 1869 mansion set on six and a half private acres above the Ohio River in Warsaw, Kentucky. The estate holds five individually appointed guest suites, a formal dining room where a gourmet breakfast is served every morning, wide porches lined with rocking chairs, gardens, a gazebo, and a carriage house. It is an adults-only inn, which means evenings stay quiet and the river is often the loudest thing you hear.
The location makes it an unusually easy escape. Warsaw sits midway between Cincinnati and Louisville, roughly an hour from each and about forty five minutes from the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky International Airport. The Ark Encounter in Williamstown is about forty minutes south, the Creation Museum in Petersburg about forty five minutes north, and Kentucky bourbon distilleries, Ohio River state parks, and riverboat casinos all sit within a short drive. Guests who book directly with us receive attraction tickets on multi night stays, along with the best available rate.
The same grounds host our weddings. Couples reserve the whole property, marry in the gardens or under the gazebo, dine beneath chandeliers in the tent or carriage house, and sleep in the same house where the day began. Elopements for two, boutique celebrations up to fifty guests, and Signature weddings up to one hundred fifty guests are all priced transparently, with no hidden service fees and no forced gratuities. Whether you are coming for one quiet night or a full wedding weekend, the estate is yours to slow down in.

"What an unbelievable experience. We spent two days at Riverside after opting for their top elopement package. The decor was amazing and the place was spotless. We got lost walking around looking at everything when we first arrived. The grounds are beautiful sitting right on the Ohio River. Our wedding was just the two of us and was exactly how we imagined it. They were genuinely happy and excited to be a part of it. We had a fun time walking around the grounds with the photographer and we had our cake and toast waiting for us when we were done. Our 4-course private dinner was fantastic. We’re sitting in the dining area looking out at the Ohio having a candlelit dinner. Each course is arriving with perfect timing. Breakfast both days was outstanding and left us stuffed. The level of service Chad and Rachel provide is unmatched in all of our traveling. Our two days made us forget that there was a real life we had to get back to. Thank you for the memories."
