Historic Exterior & Grounds
A Legacy of Hospitality
Stay at the Vevay Swiss Inn, where your visit is not just a getaway but a journey through the oldest operating inn in Indiana, first established in 1832. Located at the heart of Switzerland County, the inn stands as a pillar of Vevay’s vibrant history and local pride.
Deep Historical Roots
Originally known as the LeClerc House or the "House of Candles," the inn was founded by Swiss settlers Robert and Julie Elise Le Clerc in 1833. It became legendary for its French cooking and a unique trust-based hospitality where candles were left for travelers to find their own way to bed.
Economic Heartbeat & Community
By choosing to stay here, you directly support Vevay’s local economy. The inn is a central hub for annual traditions, such as Shop Small Saturday, where guests are encouraged to frequent neighboring businesses for a chance to win local prizes. We are active in local causes, including supporting the Historic Hoosier Theater and other regional community initiatives.
As a key partner in the Swiss Wine Festival—celebrating the home of the first commercial winery in the U.S.—the inn serves as a gateway to Switzerland County’s unique viticulture and riverfront culture.
Experience the Charm
The inn offers meticulously maintained guest rooms, each with a private bath and modern amenities like free Wi-Fi and smart TVs, while retaining 19th-century elegance. Whether you are here for a corporate retreat or a quiet weekend, you are part of a 190-year tradition of hospitality that keeps the spirit of Vevay alive.
Plan your stay at the Vevay Swiss Inn and discover why this historic landmark continues to be the "Home of Candles" for modern travelers.
