Getting here

Dillsboro sits on US-50 in the rolling farm country of western Dearborn County, past Aurora. From the hotel, follow Eads Parkway (US-50) west through Lawrenceburg and into Aurora. Beyond Aurora the highway leaves the river valley, climbs into the hills and winds through farmland the rest of the way. It's about 15 miles door to door and roughly 22 minutes in normal conditions.

Driving in from Cincinnati or the airport? Many travelers find it easier to spend the first night near I-275, then make the last stretch to Dillsboro in daylight the next morning, especially in winter or when deer are active at dusk. IN-62 also starts near Dillsboro and heads southwest toward Madison if your trip continues along the river.

Why do Dillsboro visitors stay in Lawrenceburg?

Dillsboro is a small town of roughly 1,400 people, laid out in 1830, with churches, local businesses and farms all around it. When the whole family comes home for a wedding, a funeral, a milestone birthday or the holidays, there usually aren't enough spare bedrooms to go around, and the nearest cluster of hotel rooms is along US-50 in Lawrenceburg.

Staying about 22 minutes away means you can be at a Dillsboro church service or the family dinner table in under half an hour, then come back to a quiet non-smoking room, an indoor heated pool and a free hot breakfast the next morning. For relatives traveling a long way, being 2 miles from I-275 and 15 to 20 minutes from CVG makes arrival and departure days far simpler than driving the back roads late at night.

What brings people to Dillsboro and western Dearborn County?

Most trips out this way are personal: family visits, visitations and funerals, estate and farm sales, reunions at a park shelter or a church hall. Others are working trips, with road crews on US-50 projects, utility and agricultural contractors, and home-health staff covering the rural west end of the county.

For crews, the hotel's group room blocks and large lot help keep everyone together; ask the front desk about truck and trailer parking before you arrive, and ask about weekly rates if the job runs longer than a few days. Every room has a desk, microwave, mini-fridge and coffee maker, and the guest laundry handles work clothes mid-week.

If you have a free afternoon, US-50 continues west from Dillsboro toward Versailles State Park in Ripley County, one of Indiana's larger state parks, with hiking trails and a lake. Closer to the hotel, Aurora's historic downtown and Hillforest Victorian House Museum are right on your way back.

What should I know about the drive between Dillsboro and the hotel?

US-50 west of Aurora has hills, curves and long stretches between gas stations, so top off in Lawrenceburg or Aurora before you head out. Deer are common at dawn and dusk, and the hilly sections can turn slick in snow or freezing rain, so add a few minutes in bad weather.

Coming back late after a visitation or a long family evening is no problem: the front desk is staffed 24 hours, so there's no cutoff for arriving. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. For an early service, breakfast runs until 9:30 AM on weekdays and 10 AM on weekends.
