Gavin’s Irish Country Inn’s recent upgrades and renovations:
2019 Anticipated Projects: We hope to continue to renovate our “standard” rooms into “suites.” We anticipate converting rooms 32-35 into two large suites that will make the area across from the pub our “suite section.” Stay tuned for more renovation updates. Thank you again for your support during our renovation process. Your repeat business and continued support over the years have been tremendous! Our Inn has been operational since 1923, Irish-American owned since 1950 and owned by the Gavin Family and now the Palmieri Family (as Bernadette Gavin-Palmieri married her husband Brian in 2007), and they have been the Innkeepers since 2012. Bernadette and Brian have four children — Gavin, Anna, Maggie, and Patrick. The family loves living the USA but also of course embrace their Irish heritage! Bernadette’s grandparents came to the USA and started their life here working as a cook and and a ditch digger, and were able to live their dream when they became resort owners. It is a big legacy to continue and Bernadette and Brian strive for excellence and look forward to meeting you or welcoming you back soon.
