Make the trip from Cincinnati for a winery stay on Lake Erie: eight adults-only rooms, dinner on the property and breakfast cooked to order.
Our family spent eight years finishing this stone and slate mansion before opening it to guests in 2024. Today, the house brings together our boutique hotel, restaurant and wine bar, with Lake Erie beyond the north windows. Estate Cabernet Franc is grown, pressed and poured on the property; the 2022 vintage received Double Gold at the 2025 Ohio Wine Competition. Read our story.
Worth the drive
Why stay with us
Give a long weekend from Cincinnati a place to settle. At Vincent William, the room, restaurant and wine bar belong to the same family-run property on Lake Erie. You can spend an afternoon exploring Ohio wine country and return to a table with the water beyond the windows. Reserve three nights if your calendar allows: the extra morning leaves time to enjoy the inn as well as the places around it.

A private patio, an in-room Jacuzzi, a separate living room or a queen bed by the water. Compare the room details, then check current rates and availability.
Make time for the stay
A stay worth planning around
For a Cincinnati long weekend, keep your arrival evening on the property and give the following day to the lake. Save a second full day for Grand River Valley wineries or nearby towns.
Arrive for an evening at the winery
Check in from 4 p.m. and settle into your room before dinner. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner, and the wine bar serves the full kitchen menu. Start with a glass of wine made in Madison or choose a cocktail, then let the evening stay on the property. Meals and drinks are purchased separately from your room.
A full day on Lake Erie
Breakfast is cooked to order from 8:30 to 10, with the standard menu, coffee and fresh juice included. Spend the day exploring Grand River Valley wineries and nearby towns, or stay for the estate shoreline. In season, the heated pool and shared outdoor hot tub are open to registered, checked-in guests from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., May through November, weather permitting. Ask about arranging a massage when you reserve your stay.
Choose the room for the occasion
Suite 205 has a king bed and a private rooftop patio overlooking Lake Erie. Suite 206 pairs a king bed with a private in-room Jacuzzi. Suite 101 offers a clawfoot tub and steam shower on the first floor, with a two-night minimum. The queen rooms give you another way to stay by the water. Every room has a private bath; upstairs rooms require stairs because there is no elevator.
