COVID-19
We have taken enhanced health and safety measures to offer a safe haven for you, our guests, and our innkeepers. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and those with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By visiting The Fountain Inn, you implicitly assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and its variant strains. Please help keep each other healthy.

We will not enter your room for refreshing or cleaning during your stay. We feel this is best for you and for our staff.
