Pro tip: don't try to find this place in the dark! We were lucky to find someone who could point out the street to us. Little to no GPS or cell service in the area so download your directions and room info ahead of time.
Inn was lovely. Beautifully restored and maintained. Breakfast was self-serve and adequate. Rooms were beautiful and beds were comfy. We had a little trouble finding our rooms due to the lack of cell service so couldn't pull up the email. Had to wake up the poor owner at 10 at night as info sheet wasn't posted on the door.
Would stay there again.
Great place to stay with nice owners. Came during an off-season and the owner was very accommodating. We stayed in room #1 the bed was comfortable, essential toiletries were provided, and everything was clean. Convenient spot for multiple hiking trails and parks. I would stay here again if in the area.
Great stay in a quiet spot. We loved it and the you can’t ask for better hosts.
For a great spot to eat try this store that serves great food, Cool Springs Park.
The River House Lodge is charming, unique, and very comfortable! The owner was also wonderfully accommodating of my late arrival. Would love to stay there again.
Actually didn't see anyone until we were loading our car !!! Tim came out, and gave us a little history on the place. Comfortable Bed, and excellent Water Pressure.
Our family had a two night stay. In the beginning we were surprised at how old and antique feeling the lodge had. But we had a very comfortable stay. My 12 yrs old said the hotel bed is the most comfortable one he ever had in a hotel. The help-yourself style breakfast has many thoughtful choices. People in this little town are very friendly and the scenery nearby is so beautiful and peaceful.
Very clean, right beside river, quiet, and mattress was a 10/10 comfortable. Room even came with soaps, tooth brushes/paste, and lotions, everything you'd ever need for a nice trip.
The only thing I would have added to room would be a small personal refrigerator for left over foods or deli meat to make sandwiches or food. Eating out constantly gets expensive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I was a bit hesitant when I arrived at the age of the house, it’s old. But the rooms are clean& the beds were very comfortable. We did tear the continental breakfast because it was all package muffins & high carb choices.
If you like old style charm, you will love this place. The town is extremely quiet, so we arrived with a personal note on the note addressed to us, front door unlocked, and key in the door of our room. It was an early century 3 story house so clean and comfortable, we felt very cozy and safe. The proprietor has everything ready for you and has a phone number to call if any questions or issues. The table is set with a good continental breakfast, no charge, coffee and juices. This was set up each morning. We enjoyed our stay, very reasonable, and comfortable.
Loved the historic nature of the property. Antique items and original woodworking etc made it a very unique location. The pictures are a bit deceiving and make this look like a large mountain lodge (one even with a pool, though that is not listed as an amenity) but it is just a three story home. But that was fine, the only major issue was that they used window AC to cool the rooms. Our two rooms were very hot and the window ACs took a long time to make the temperature bearable. It did cool off nicely around 2am. Breakfast wasn’t much, not many options and nothing of a low carb variety. Wasn’t too concerned about until we realized there was literally no where to get anything to eat between the lodge and Camp Dawson. (Should have ate the muffin!) can’t really speak to the friendliness of the staff as I never met any during my entire stay (we had a late check in) But we had everything we needed so I have no complaints (except there was no hair dryer, it had one listed so my wife didn’t bring hers.) It’s no Ritz Carleton so don’t go expecting that, but it is a very neat place that you will remember years down the road (unlike a Comfort Inn!)
The room was dirty when we got there. Urine in the toilet, hair in the tub, used towels on the floor, the bed obviously slept in. I called and let them know, to be fair they came and cleaned it.. sort of. The tub still had hair in it, and the paperwork meant for the previous guests was still in the room and a stink bug was still on the dresser. Add to this we had to go somewhere else and wait, after driving… to come back to it still not done. Basically it tainted the entire experience. If this is their room cleanliness.. how is the breakfast part? Hard pass- we left early in the morning. Definitely not worth the drive or money.
