Stay on a different stretch of Lake Erie from Sandusky: an adults-only winery inn in Madison with eight rooms, dining 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
A getaway from Sandusky can keep the lake you love and give you a new place to enjoy it. At Vincent William, a wine estate and eight-room inn share the shore. Spend the evening over dinner and a glass from the wine bar, then wake up in the same house for breakfast. Stay two nights if you want to see the Grand River Valley; book a shorter visit when the room, restaurant and lake are the whole plan.
On the estate
What’s waiting when you arrive
Your room, dinner and the wine bar share one estate on Lake Erie.
Stay
Eight rooms, adults only
Every room has a private bath and one king or queen bed. Choose a private rooftop patio, an in-room Jacuzzi or a room with a separate living area. Standard breakfast is cooked to order and included each morning.

The inn
Find the room you want to come back to
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
Make a Sandusky stay about time at the property first. If you add a second night, set aside an afternoon for Grand River Valley wineries and return for dinner.
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.
Give yourself another day
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 in summer only. 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.
