Rider's 1812 Inn

Rider's 1812 Inn

792 Mentor Ave
Painesville, OH 44077-2516
United States of America

(440) 354-8200
 

Circa 1812. In the days when this inn and tavern served the frontier Western Reserve, it could provide lodging and meals for more than 100 overnight guests. Restored in 1988, the pub features an original fireplace and wavy window panes. Most of the inn's floors are rare, long-needle pine. A passageway in the cellar is said to have been part of the Underground Railroad. An English-style restaurant is also on the premises. Guest rooms are furnished with antiques. Breakfast in bed is the option of choice.

I recently went to Rider's Inn to attend a wedding reception. Even tho our party was small compared to your average wedding, only about 25 people, we received all the service of a large party. Kudos to the chef, our chicken cordon bleu was amazing!

This Inn was the most comfortable and inviting place! Elaine, the Inn Keeper, took me on a tour of the facility and shared all its wonderful history with me. My room was cozy and I slept very sound. This facility also has a full service restaurant on property for lunch and dinner, plus a full Pub for a night cap once I came back from exploring the area. All the staff was friendly and went out of their way to be sure I have a great time on my stay! I would recommend Rider's Inn for anyone traveling.
