Come from State College for an adults-only winery stay in Madison, Ohio, with eight rooms on Lake Erie, on-site dining and breakfast included.

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 State College weekend a room beside Lake Erie and enough time to enjoy it. Vincent William has eight adults-only rooms, each with a private bath, in a mansion shared with the restaurant and wine bar. A two-night stay leaves one full day for the shoreline or nearby wineries, while three nights allow a little more space around the journey. Bring a book, choose a room with seating by the water and let breakfast be the first appointment of the day.

Make time for the stay

A stay worth planning around

From State College, plan at least one full day between arrival and departure. Use it for a nearby winery visit or an afternoon at the inn, with dinner reserved for the evening.

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.

Compare the rooms, then plan dinner and explore things to do nearby. For help choosing a room, call (440) 428-1300.
