Coyote Moon Riverside Inn | Historic River Retreat

Coyote Moon Riverside Inn is a lovingly restored 1792 river home nestled along the Ohio River in charming Augusta, Kentucky. Blending historic character, antiques, and modern comforts, the inn offers four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, 2.5 baths, river views, and expansive common spaces. Wake to river light, watch barges drift by, stroll Main Street shops and dining, or plan visits to Baker-Bird Winery and Augusta Distillery—then let the rhythm of the water set the pace. The space Coyote Moon Riverside Inn is offered as a private, adults-only whole-home retreat. Built in 1792, this historic Augusta residence has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its original character while blending modern comfort. The home features four uniquely named bedrooms — Hydrangea Hideaway, Riverbend Room, Magnolia Manor, and Ferryman’s Rest — each reflecting the river history and heritage of the region. Two full bathrooms (Canal Washroom and Belle Bathhouse), along with a half bath, serve the home. Throughout the inn, guests will find curated touches designed for connection and rest — including books, games, and puzzles thoughtfully placed in common areas and bedrooms for slow evenings and unhurried conversation.

Other things to note A PERSONAL WELCOME We are Jason and Amy Barnes. We have always been drawn to small, quiet, story-filled towns — the kind where porches matter, rivers shape life, and time slows just enough to notice it. Over the years, that love has led us to places like Corbin, Kentucky; Driggs, Idaho; Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas — and now, Augusta. Coyote Moon Riverside Inn captured our hearts not just for its beauty, but for its history. Built in 1792 along the Ohio River, this home has witnessed ferry crossings, generations of families, and the steady rhythm of life on Ferry Street. Family, faith, and gathering have always been central to who we are. Whether hosting friends around our own table or welcoming guests here in Augusta, we believe spaces matter. Homes shape conversations. Tables invite connection. Stillness restores the soul. Coyote Moon is offered as a private, adults-only retreat — created for rest, reflection, celebration, and meaningful time together. We have thoughtfully preserved its antiques and character while blending in modern comforts, hoping each guest feels both the history and the warmth. When you stay here, you are not just reserving a house. You are stepping into a story — and we are honored to share it with you. Welcome to Coyote Moon Riverside Inn. We are so glad you found your way here. “Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10
