Old world opulence blends with new world convenience. Secluded on a 160-acre estate Rowenas Inn on the River has two identities: The first is a 1920s colonial feel. The inn, once the home of the Pretty Family, is now a grand, English-style boutique resort facing the Harrison River. The rooms offer waterfront or garden views. Large windows bathe the European-infused elegance in natural light and the furniture exemplifies a timeless stylishness. The second identity is our 1 bedroom rustic classic cottages with jacuzzi tubs, heated floors, and wood-burning fireplaces and our nature luxury series cabins which come in 1,2, or 3 bedroom layouts with larger living spaces, smart TVs, and kitchens .
