Visiting SPIRE Academy or Institute in Geneva, Ohio? Stay at our adults-only boutique hotel in nearby Madison, with eight rooms, lakefront dining and breakfast.
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
A meet, a tournament, a campus visit or a training program may bring you to SPIRE. Give yourself somewhere to enjoy the rest of the trip. Our family-owned boutique hotel has eight adults-only rooms on Lake Erie, a restaurant and a wine bar at the same address. Visiting parents staying without children, coaches, officials and adult spectators can settle in for dinner, try our estate Cabernet Franc and wake to breakfast cooked to order. If you only have time for a meal, the restaurant welcomes visitors who are not staying overnight.

Make time for the stay
A stay worth planning around
Plan the room around your time at SPIRE, then leave some time for the lake. Whether you are here for swimming, track and field, basketball, volleyball, wrestling or another campus event, Vincent William gives the adults on your trip a place for dinner and an overnight stay in nearby Madison.
Spend the day at SPIRE. Have dinner by the lake.
Make dinner part of the reason to stay near SPIRE. Executive Chef Jeff Gable’s menu brings together American cooking and the Italian and Irish family tables behind Vincent William, with fresh pasta dishes, stone-fired flatbreads and seasonal plates. After a meet, tournament or campus visit, sit down in the dining room overlooking Lake Erie or choose the patio when weather allows. You are welcome to dine here even if you are staying elsewhere.
Our kitchen buys in season from Ohio growers including West Orchards, Bonner Farms and Rainbow Farms. Ohio’s growing season limits what is available locally throughout the year, so our approach is to buy from nearby farms when we can and use their produce across the changing menu. Look for those seasonal ingredients in our fresh pasta dishes and other plates.
Plan your table around the event schedule: lunch and dinner are served noon to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, with Sunday brunch until 2 p.m. The wine bar serves the full kitchen menu, estate wine and cocktails. Order tasting glasses and ask our team about the wines. Reserve dining separately from your room; lunch, dinner and drinks are additional. See the current menu.
Choose your room before choosing your dates.
Stay in a queen room or give yourself more space in a king suite. Suite 205 has a private rooftop patio over Lake Erie. Suite 206 has a private in-room Jacuzzi, while Suite 101 has a clawfoot tub and steam shower. Every room has a private bath. Check-in begins at 4 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m. Minimum stays vary by room and date; Suite 101 has a two-night minimum.
Make time for breakfast—or plan for an early start.
The standard cooked-to-order breakfast, coffee and juice are included from 8:30 to 10 a.m. If you need to reach SPIRE before breakfast begins, plan that meal separately. When your schedule leaves room for an afternoon here, the 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.
Stay another night in Ohio wine country.
Visit Grand River Valley wineries or nearby lake towns between events, or spend the evening at the estate. Our inn is adults only. Visiting parents traveling with children and youth teams will need different overnight accommodations; adults can compare our rooms and choose the stay that fits their schedule.
Compare the rooms or reserve a table. For campus details, consult the official SPIRE event schedule and our SPIRE visitor guide.
