I had spent an entire month in Mt Vernon, Ohio this spring - watching my son play a spring sport for Kenyon College, which is very close by. After meeting the woman who owns the property, I decided to give the Mount Vernon Inn a try when I needed to stay a night during my return trip to pick up... More

I stayed here a few yrs ago for a church event and it was wonderful. We had a 3br suite and it made me feel right at home. Breakfast was great (I still crave it...lol), and the gardens are beautiful. There's not very much to do in Mt. Vernon, but Mt. Vernon Inn was one of the most peaceful, relaxing... More

Based on previous tripadvisor reviews, I chose to stay here while my daughter attended an Admitted Students event at Kenyon. I agree with the "glorified motor court" description, because the room I stayed in was quite dated and tired, though very clean. On the other hand, I also have to note how lovely the staff is, how very hard they've... More

Usually stay at the Kenyon Inn when I visit my son but they were booked last weekend. Took a chance on Mount Vernon Inn and was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are simple but have everything you could want including a fridge stocked w/ a few goodies, microwave, coffeemaker and plush robe. Didn't have breakfast but breakfast room looked lovely. Great... More

Based on prior reviews and photos on the website, I expected much more charm. Our room was located outside the main house, across a lovely landscaped patio, in a row of rooms that was really just like a typical motel. Our room was a decent size with 2 queen beds and a table with chairs. The armoire for the tv... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Mt. Vernon Inn while visiting Kenyon College. We absolutely loved our stay. Our room, the White Ash Room, was lovely. It had very recently been remodeled, and everything was in pristine condition. All of the touches are of the highest quality: plush towels, high quality bed linens, and lovely furnishings. Everything was immaculately... More

We stayed at the Mt. Vernon Inn while touring Kenyon College. Got the recommendation from the already full inn in Gambier. Was an excellent recommendation: ten minute drive from the school, nicely redone room, hot breakfast included and incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. The only criticism I could make would be it's location being across the train tracks and a... More

When I made this reservation I was under the impression that we would be staying in the main house. However, when checking in was told that our room was "outside and around the corner." At first I thought...really? But was pleasantly surprised. First, that the room was very nice and clean, second, that I was charged $10 less than I... More

This was my first time staying here.. the room was nice, everything was clean, here is what my problem...first, there were no clear markings as to where the front door was to walk in.. to get your key/check-in, etc, and once inside the door, again no clear way of knowing where you had to go to check in, maybe some...
