Four historic 1890s cottages nestled along the Ohio River, forming the heart of our community cluster.
Ravenswood represents the crown jewel of our SILK Homes portfolio—four magnificent cottages built in the 1890s, each carefully restored to preserve their historic character while providing modern comfort for our guests.
These homes don't just sit side by side; they form a true community cluster where our live-in innkeeper oversees daily operations, guests naturally connect with one another, and our victory gardens create shared spaces for gathering and growing.
