COVID-19 Update

Hello to all friends and guests of the Sweetwater Branch Inn.

As we know, the COVID-19 virus is of concern to all of us. The safety of our guests and of our employees is of utmost importance.

The Sweetwater community have always prided ourselves on keeping the highest level of cleanliness. We have taken the following precautions to ensure that all our guest will have a safe and comfortable stay:

  • Our staff is sanitizing throughout the property. This includes wiping door knobs, light switches, tables, countertop surfaces and more.
  • As routine protocol, we always hot-water sanitize dishes, plates, silverware and glassware, and will continue to do so.
  • All linens and towels are thoroughly sanitized through our laundry system.
  • We ask all our guests to please wash their hands as often as they wish at one of our sinks or hand-washing stations in the breakfast kitchen, hospitality suite in the McKenzie House, or our main office.
  • Our staff is required to wear masks and do daily temperature checks before arriving to work for the health and safety of themselves and our guests.
  • We will not be offering stay-over housekeeping services. Your room will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before and after your arrival, but in order to minimize exposure we will not be entering guest rooms while they are occupied. If you need more towels, toiletries or would like access to your own cleaning supplies, please contact the front desk and we will be happy to provide those items for you.
  • We are providing guests with to-go breakfasts, as well as a portable hot breakfast. Ample seating areas are available indoors and outdoors to have a sit-down breakfast experience while socially distancing, if desired.
  • We are currently offering a to-go wine and cheese hour for all Sweetwater guests. Between 5pm and 6pm guests may come to the front desk and receive one to-go glass of wine and prepackaged cheese and accompaniments, which they can enjoy in their rooms or at one of the property’s outdoor seating areas.
  • We are still hosting weddings and events at Sweetwater Branch Inn. We ask inn guests to please avoid walking through those events while on the property. We have implemented extra safety measures to ensure the safety of event guests, inn guests and our staff, including extra sanitizing protocols and requiring all staff members to wear masks. However, event guests are not required to wear masks. That is up to the discretion of the event hosts. Please be aware of events going on in our garden, and keep a safe distance from other guests.

The Sweetwater Branch Inn is open for business and we are happy to host you!

We continue to stay up to date with information as it pertains to this situation. If you have any questions regarding your reservation or event please call us at 352-373-6760.
