Our Story

Hickory Road Inn is owned and managed by Jim and Jennifer Black. They are the second owners following the Bennett family, who retired in the summer of 2018. Our speciality is hosting craft retreats of all kinds with our Inn especially designed for craft groups. The Black family is committed to offering the same all-star craft retreat service and accommodations our guests have come to know and expect.
The Blacks have two children and a resident dog - a Shih-Poo - named Percy who will be excited to greet you as well.

We are conveniently located halfway between Cincinnati and Indianapolis, about 7 miles north from Batesville Exit 149 off I74.

Thank you for visiting our website - we hope to see you in person real soon!
We now provide 2 locations! Tree City Craft Retreats will be open for Craft Retreats starting March 4, 2025. Click "Learn More" for information about our mid-century style retreat facility located in Greensburg, Indiana.
