Steeped in History, Restored to Luxury

The Inns of Aurora offer three distinctive properties, each with its own character. The Federal-style Aurora Inn is a refined country inn, featuring graceful white-columned balconies and lakeside dining. The Italianate stone E.B. Morgan House is a smaller property with stunning common spaces, broad lakeside porches and rolling lawns, and an innkeeper who’ll see to your every need. The Rowland House offers vibrantly-decorated rooms, pristine lake views, and whimsical touches of MacKenzie-Childs. Each property is sumptuously appointed with handsome antiques, complemented by an exceptional collection of art. They boast Frette linens, high-speed internet access, luxurious baths, and are just steps from the fine dining at the Aurora Inn.

Whether you visit us for a wedding or to learn a bit about organic farming, for a recreational cooking class or to enjoy an anniversary dinner, you’ll feel the genuine sense of fun and kinship underlying all we do. You’ll also witness our uniquely lived history, our profound ecological connection, and our lasting relationships with our guests. We invite you to be a part of it.

E.B. Morgan House

Henry Wells’ good friend and generous financial backer was the wealthy and prominent Colonel Edwin Barber Morgan. His residence, built in 1858, is now one of the Inns of Aurora. E.B. Morgan House features elegant appointments within the dramatic beauty of this historic stone mansion.

It offers seven large, sunny guestrooms, many with working fireplaces, an exceptional collection of modern art, and an innkeeper who sees to every need. Guests are invited to enjoy E.B. Morgan House as they would a private home with the comforts of its library, parlor, dining room, and generous porches overlooking the lake and rolling lawns.
