If you've ever driven up the Great River Road, the stretch of the US Scenic Byway that follows the Mississippi as it ambles just north of St. Louis, you've seen Tara Point Inn.  It maintains a commanding presence atop Tara Point, a bluff that faces the Mississippi and Illinois rivers where they meet in Grafton, Illinois.

Perched like an eagle on the edge of the river bluffs, Tara Point is known by all who visit Grafton .

And now, we'd like to share our breathtaking vistas with you.  Come stay with us.

We are open year round. 

All rooms feature in-room TV and VCR, private baths, king-sized beds and continental breakfast.  Most rooms are actually suites with separate living areas, and all offer beautiful views of our rivers. 

For more about the amenities, you should decide whether you wish to stay in the main house, pictured above, or one of the romantic  private cottages also on the property. 

You will find many spots of quiet reflection all over the property.

Far from the demands of everyday life and yet so near, there is a spot so beautiful, so serene, it will take your breath away.  Escape to what some call the most pleasantly memorable & romantic get-away experience in the Midwest, where love ones can relax, refresh and enjoy precious time together while making memories that last a lifetime!

When you stay at Tara Point, no matter where you are from, you feel like you are far away from home.

Come, rekindle the romance in that special relationship.  This couple found a moment to remember always on our deck.  (Photo by Condray Photography, used by permission.)
