Booking & Payment
A 10% non-refundable booking fee is collected at the time of booking for the room, tax, and any requested enhancements. The remaining balance is billed upon arrival. Whole grounds rentals or 3+ room rentals require payment in full 30 days in advance. All rates exclude a 10% tax covering Kentucky sales and local transient room taxes. Only rates booked directly through the official Riverside Inn website are guaranteed.

Check-In & Check-Out
Check-in is between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Please make no calls after 9:00 pm. Early arrivals must be pre-arranged, and guests must remain outside the building while the Inn is prepared. Check-out is by 11:00 am. Unauthorized late check-outs will incur a $50 per hour fee.

Smoking, Alcohol, & Fire Safety
Riverside Inn is a historic building. Smoking, incense, and candle burning are strictly prohibited in guest rooms and on the grounds, except in explicitly designated outdoor areas. Smoking inside will result in a minimum $500 remediation fee. Cigarette butts left on the property will result in a $25 cleanup fee per item. Guests may not bring outside alcohol onto the premises. All alcohol must be purchased on-site and consumed on the property in compliance with state regulations.

Historic Property & Liability
The Riverside Inn is a privately owned historic property. Guests assume all inherent risks associated with the standard use of the grounds and facilities. Liability for loss or damage to guest personal property is limited in accordance with Kentucky law. Guests are financially responsible for all nights reserved regardless of actual arrival or early departure.

Guest Conduct, Children, & Pets
We cater to a quiet environment designed for adults. The Inn is not appropriate for children under 18. We do not accommodate guest pets, with the strict exception of trained service animals as defined by the ADA. Emotional Support Animals are not permitted. Only registered guests are permitted on the property. Outside visitors require prior Innkeeper approval.

Damages & Property
Booking guests are financially responsible for any damages, missing items, or broken property. By booking a reservation, guests explicitly authorize Riverside Inn to charge the credit card on file for the replacement cost of damaged items or any special cleanup fees required.

Standard Cancellation
Cancellations made 10 or more days prior to the scheduled arrival date will result in a refund of the initial boooking fee, less a $30 administrative processing fee per room per night. If the administrative fee exceeds the initial deposit, the refund amount will be zero.

Late Cancellation
Cancellations made 9 days or less prior to the scheduled arrival date require payment in full. By booking, guests explicitly authorize Riverside Inn to charge the credit card on file for the remaining balance of the entire reservation. If the LLC successfully rebooks the room to another guest, a prorated refund will be issued. We enforce a strict policy of no exceptions for illness, weather, or personal emergencies. We strongly advise guests to purchase third-party travel insurance to protect their travel investments.

Group and Holiday Cancellation
Bookings of two or more rooms require a minimum of 30 days notice for cancellation. Cancellations made prior to this deadline will be refunded the initial deposit less the $30 per room per night administrative fee. Cancellations made past this deadline are subject to the late cancellation terms and the card on file will be charged the full remaining balance. Whole grounds rentals, weddings, and special events are governed exclusively by the specific fee schedules and cancellation policies outlined in your signed venue contract.
