When we received an email from Deborah Sakach of iLoveInns.com stating the Inn on Crescent Lake was in the running for their Top Ten Romantic Inns for 2022 we were ecstatic! Then, right before Valentine’s Day the email came in – we had made it and we were at the top of the list!
The Review Process
Deborah and the judging committee scour thousands of entries each year and take weeks picking the final ten. She was “especially excited for this year’s list because these inns are superb choices for new lovers, old lovers, and everyone in-between.”
Announcing the top 10 is an almost 30 year tradition and in all those years the Inn On Crescent Lake is only the sixth Missouri inn to be chosen! Deborah added, “ All of the inns have fabulous reviews, wonderful properties with all the romantic touches guests look for and an online presence that make them worthy of the award.”
Which means we owe a debt of gratitude to our guests who have written public reviews. Thank you for taking the time to support our small, family-owned business!
The Write-Up
Enter the gates to the 22 acre, 1915 Georgian colonial property where icons like Walt Disney, Harry Truman, and Thomas Hart-Benton were said to spend time. Stroll to “kissing point” on the walking trail, snuggle with that special someone at the pool, or take the boats up the lake. Spa services, indulgent packages and themed suites add to this relaxing hidden gem. The adult-only (except for special events) inn is surrounded by two lakes that seem to be hugging the grounds. You’ll feel the essence of the warmth and intimacy of a hug as soon as you walk through the front doors. Multiple packages and romantic indulgences are available to add to any reservation.
Our Promise to our Patrons
We will continue to strive for greatness with daily maintenance and improvements to the grounds, along with great respect and an emphasis on the incredible history of this property and the town of Excelsior Springs! Guests tell us regularly how important this place is to them and we never want to underestimate the charm and warm, romantic ambiance that oozes out of these century-old bricks!
