The Historic Red Rooster Inn was a destination! It has been beautifully renovated and updated. A great deal of attention to detail and much love has been put into the property. We loved the bar/restaurant as well. The game room downstairs offers all manner of entertainment. The owners and staff were wonderful and kind. It is difficult to convey with mere words how much we enjoyed our stay and sojourn in Hillsboro. We strongly recommend anyone looking for a country getaway to reserve a stay at the Red Rooster Inn! Well worth it!

It was a very enjoyable stay. My only regret was, I was feeling poorly, and not up to trying the restaurant, but that is a good reason to return.

Have stayed at The Red Rooster many times over the last 40 years. Love the beautiful restorations to grand old place! Bed was comfortable and enjoyed the early morning Sunday church bells. Hope to stay again sometime next year.
