Charming Accommodations & Thoughtful Amenities

Each guest room and private cottage at 1777 Americana Inn has been decorated in period-inspired décor while offering modern conveniences—from plush bedding to stone-tiled fireplaces. The acclaimed Tranquility Cottage stands out for couples seeking romance, boasting a heart-shaped or standard jacuzzi that “was to die for,” along with a white noise machine to drown out Main Street or neighborhood sounds.

Gourmet Breakfast & Specialty Dishes

Each morning at the Americana Inn begins with a chef-prepared, multi-course breakfast designed to delight—and surprise—you. House-made favorites range from fluffy quiche tarts and pumpkin bread to the much-lauded caramel apple French toast. One guest declared it “truly the kind of breakfast you wouldn’t cook yourself,” while another raved that “everything bagel sausage egg and cheese bake” was “the best ever.” Though early reviews once mentioned a cold muffin here or a missing butter dish there, the kitchen team has since fine-tuned every detail, ensuring each plate leaves the table warm, fresh, and brimming with flavor.
