Woodstock Inn reopened in June, 2011, under new management. Continuing a tradition of excellence, the Inn enjoys a stunning 2011 interior renovation. We introduce on-site hostess Pam French. Ms. French loves to cook and pamper guests. Kim Morgan, owner and part-time hostess of Woodstock Inn, is a teacher, writer, filmmaker, and adventurer. She works in Italy and travels the world, bringing back treasures from far-flung places. These treasures, stories, and pictures are reflected in the unique character of the rooms and suites.

 The Inn appeals to both those coming from out of town, and those in town. Come and enjoy the Inn as we strive to develop a new center for activity and entertainment in the city of Independence. This summer we launched a series of events that will continue throughout the year. Our summer series of events included a luxury weekend, a Best of Independence and Kansas City weekend, a writers/ filmmakers/Hollywood weekend, and an Italian weekend. In addition, many former guests have stayed at Woodstock Inn for anniversaries and honeymoons, and they have enjoyed returning to the Inn.  Whether for fun or romance, the Inn is a cozy getaway for all.
