The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a brunch on Sundays. The Doe Run has 11 rooms, along with a cabin where guests can stay overnight. Some of its rooms have four-poster beds.
The Doe Run Inn building was originally known as Stevenson's Mill. Part of it was constructed in about 1780. Each wall is more than 24-inches thick and includes limestone from the area. After shutting down as a mill, it reopened in 1901 and became a popular destination for guests, who came to drink sulfur water considered to have healing powers. Some of the pumps used to draw sulfur water are still on the grounds. Discount rates are available for groups and catering can be requested.
