The Niagara Benchlands are a region of scenic beauty along the Niagara Escarpment where you can experience an abundance of lush green scenery, and there’s always plenty to see and do, no matter what time of year you plan your countryside escape. Located in the quaint village of Jordan, Inn On The Twenty is your destination for all the leisure and year-round adventure that the Niagara Benchlands have to offer while relaxing in the most beautiful accommodations available.
Spring in the Niagara Benchlands
Watch the world come alive with #BlossomWatch in May, when thousands of peach, cherry, and nectarine blossoms bloom, a sign of spring. You can also take in the stunning cherry blossom trees that line the streets of Jordan Village – a stunning backdrop to a boutique open-air shopping experience. If you’re an avid golfer, there are three fantastic courses in the Benchlands to enjoy, complete with club houses to relax after a long day on the green.

Fall in the Benchlands

Even as we move into cooler temperatures, there is still plenty to see and do in the Benchlands. Enjoy a sunset dinner at Inn On The Twenty Restaurant, where fantastic regional wines and gourmet cuisine meet.
Looking for a more relaxed atmosphere but with the sophistication of upscale dining? Try Jordan House Tavern, where we serve up elevated pub food, pizza and live music regularly. Then, grab one of our Fall Harvest cocktails and take in the cozy ambience.
Escape the chill by booking a treatment with Spa On The Twenty. As winter approaches, our skin and body often need a little extra TLC, and we’re happy to oblige. Our treatments include facials, massage therapy, manicure and pedicure, as well as body scrubs and wraps to keep you looking and feeling your best.
