A family legacy of hospitality.

Book your getaway

A memorable, family-owned alternative to big-chain hotels.

Warmly owned and operated by the Eves family since 1973, this beloved property harkens back to both the heyday of midcentury Americana and the midwest’s stagecoach roots.

In 2001, Sandy and David Eves renovated and relaunched the property as Kirkwood Inn, seamlessly blending design elements from the original 1970s-style roadside motel with the colonial charm of the refurbished Historic Kirkwood House (c. 1799). 

David A. Eves passed away in 2008 leaving the legacy of Kirkwood Inn to his wife and family. Today, Sandy and her children—David Eves Jr., Kristina and Andrea—continue to embrace and build upon the long-standing tradition of providing comfort and warm hospitality to guests. 

Nestled in the heart of Warren County, Ohio.

Whether you’re planning thrills at Kings Island, a bike ride along the scenic trails, or a quiet escape—we’re here to make every stay memorable.
