Waking up inside a piece of Kentucky history at The Benchmark Inn 🇺🇸🏛️

Thank you to The Benchmark Inn in Augusta, Kentucky for hosting our stay. It was exactly the kind of escape we didn't know we needed.

Historic charm, cozy rooms with their own distinct personality, and the kind of unhurried hospitality that reminds you travel doesn't have to be complicated. ❤️

Built in the early 1800s when Augusta was a prominent river town on the Ohio, the inn's lobby was once a tavern — and you can still feel that warmth the moment you walk in.

Eleven thoughtfully designed guest rooms, freshly prepared breakfast in the morning, and a little riverside town just outside your door waiting to be explored at your own pace 🌊

If you're a slow traveler looking for a romantic, historical escape off the beaten path — save this one 🤍

She's here. She's beautiful. And yes… she costs about as much as a really solid used car. 🚗💸

Meet our brand new water heater and honestly, we've never been more excited about a giant tank in our lives. 😄

This past weekend was a tough one, and we owe a huge thank you to our amazing guests who rolled with the punches, took cold showers without complaint, and never lost their good spirits. You are the absolute best and we don't deserve you. 🙏❤️

A special shoutout to every guest who was kind enough to let us borrow hot water. You know who you are and we are so grateful. And to everyone we had to cancel on, we are truly sorry. That was heartbreaking for us and we hope you'll give us another chance to welcome you the right way.

To the incredible team that spent long nights troubleshooting, hauling, and getting this massive tank installed… you are rockstars. This would not have happened without you. 🛠️⭐

Hot water is BACK. The inn is whole again. Come see us soon. 🔥🛁
