Kintner House Inn, Corydon, Indiana, Christmas of 2023
The Inn's history
The
Kintner House Inn
was built in 1873 and restored in 1986 and was an integral
part of revitalizing downtown Corydon, IN. We decided
to stay at this Inn instead of a standard hotel to see this
historical building. It was an amazing place to see,
especially at Christmas time.

Rooms at the Inn...
Walking through the house was so comforting. Each room
was designed with historical pieces and modern amenities.
I was very happy to be able to take a peak into each room and
see the varied decor. Some had fireplaces and some even
had a clawfoot tub!

The Inn's decorations...
It's Christmas time at the Inn! The entire Inn was
decorated in beautiful seasonal cheer. I had a lot of
fun walking through and taking pictures of all the ornaments,
Christmas trees, and decorations. They really did a
fantastic job with everything. I wish I had the skill
to decorate trees like that!








Details around the Inn...
I noticed that there were a number of glass decorations and
lamps at the Inn. I forgot to ask but I am willing to
bet that at least some came from
Zimmerman's Art Glass in
Corydon. I remember going there when I was a kid on
field trips. It was one of my favorite places to go.
My sister said it burned down but they rebuilt it.
I am really glad they did because they make such
beautiful glass art!
Other details around the Inn were a nice touch too. All
the door signs were unique. The amenities in some rooms
such as the shave table and desk were an added bonus.
One of my favorite parts of the experience here was the
breakfast. The Innkeeper was there bright and early and
made us all a hearty breakfast. They served toast,
fresh fruit, omelettes with cheese, hashbrowns, fresh coffee,
and fresh orange juice. Needless to say, I didn't need
to stop for lunch on the way back home.
Overall, I thought it was a great place to stay for the night.
I can't wait to stay there again and see how they
decorate it for the respective holiday or season. 😊
