Everything was perfect, amazing and great. The food was so good. French toast casserole, phenomenal. It’s off the beaten path but not so far out you can’t get to town quick. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jim and Janelle were more than accommodating and wonderful hosts for our stay.

Gorgeous Inn!

Beautiful home with wonderful host/hostess. They went above & beyond to make our stay special (coffee/tea/hot chocolate, little truffles/chocolates, & a “goody” bag…were waiting when we arrived) A wonderful home cooked breakfast was served before we left that morning. Can’t say enough about how beautiful everything was at this Inn….wish we had stayed more than 1 night!

Great Place with Great Hosts

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The folks were friendly and accommodating, and the house is very neat. Please note that there isn't much for eateries within 20 minutes, so, if you're going to be checking in later in the afternoon, it would be a good idea to have dinner before you arrive (unless you don't mind spending another hour in the car!)

Quaint, comfortable, and welcoming.

The property is a quaint home with great accommodations. Southern hospitality abounds from the hosts from welcoming you as you arrive to seeing off upon your departure. Property is an easy drive to then many caves and caverns within South Central Kentucky.

My wife was quite pleased to spend her birthday weekend at Rocky Hill Inn. The decor was charming and quaint. Check-in was a breeze. The owners were very kind and took great care of us. Breakfast was delicious and filling. While the nearby railroad was hard to ignore, it was the only hiccup in an otherwise delightful time.

Our stay at the Rocky Hill Inn was truly memorable and it is a great home base from which to explore the area. The proprietors are welcoming, gracious, attentive and go the extra mile to insure guests have a positive experience. They have all kinds of interesting anecdotes and historical facts to share about the area and are fun to talk to. The inn is clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts delicious, sumptuous and beautifully presented. We can say enough about the Rocky Hill Inn and recommend it without hesitation.

Great stay!

We loved our stay at the Rocky Hill Inn. Our hosts were kind and gracious. It was my birthday, and they gifted me the most beautiful and most delicious piece of carrot cake I've ever had. They even gave a slice to my partner so I wouldn't have to share. Our only wish for change is that we had stayed longer.
