We would give it 10 stars if we could! The individual inns are spectacularly decorated, the spa is a magnificent property on its own with wonderful services and staff and the pools are amazing! The restaurants are amazing too plus the sommelier is very, very knowledgeable and Michael the bartender and server is one of a kind as is the server who will give birth to her first child in November. Lou who cooked for us at Aurora Cooks is a huge asset to the Inns of Aurora. Everything, and I mean everything, exceeded our expectations! Brava, Inns of Aurora!

This is quite possibly the best lodging experience I have had. Ever. The Four Seasons can learn a lot from the warm, welcoming, generosity we experienced. It was outstanding in every category. There is an appreciation for beauty and humanity at the Inns. We are coming back very soon. Thank you for a memorable stay.

It was the perfect summer getaway from the city. We rode bikes every day and visited the local wineries. The staff were friendly and very attentive to our needs. We spent a day at the spa which was amazing. We hope to return again next summer.

Inns of Aurora is a beautiful property, we stayed in the Zabriskie House and it was gorgeous. Beautiful room, the day bed for our 9 year old was ideal. We loved that we could have smores at the fire pit right outside the house. We took advantage of the kayaks and nature hikes on the property and both were great. We did try to rent bikes but they only had adult sizes (which I get because it's not really a family resort) so my son was too small to ride. He was bummed but it didn't ruin the day. Also worth noting that the staff is wonderful, everyone was kind and helpful. I hope we can stay again soon.

Fabulous Experience
Our stay at the Inns of Aurora ( Morgan House) was nothing short of superb! We loved the facilities, condition, cleanliness and of course the beautiful art and decor. Dinner at the 1833 Kitchen located at a neighbouring inn which is also part of Inns of Aurora was also wonderful. We plan to be back there soon!
