Our second great stay here! After coming for a winter ski weekend we couldn’t wait to come back and enjoy the river in warmer weather … and it didn’t disappoint. It was so peaceful listening to the river to fall asleep at night!

I absolutely loved this place and the staff. Everything exceeded our expectations! There was a restaurant on site that I was not expecting and made this over the top wonderful for our stay. Wonderful location, beautiful view, suburb food, atmosphere was delightful and wished we had stayed more than a night.

This is a family-run property and you can feel that in everything! The staff is welcoming, the public areas are beautifully appointed with period furniture and artifacts from the inn’s history, and the storybook setting right on the banks of the river can’t be beat! The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The one thing I wish there were a bit more attention to is the balcony furniture - it would have been nice to have a more comfortable chair and little table for morning coffee.

Room was very clean, quiet and peaceful. Shower temperature adjustment was impossible. Was in the older section and it felt it. Breakfast was fantastic. No TV or coffee maker in room should've been noted. Overall experience was good but could've been better. Will request newer section next time, but we will be back.
