    We stayed here while visiting family in the area. What an awesome inn! We enjoyed our spacious room, coffee on the veranda, and Pat's sharing of local history. She is one of the best hostesses I have met in my years of staying at B&B's. She is also an excellent cook! She is very organized and always willing to help. The location across the street from the park is perfect. I walked in the mornings and enjoyed the beautiful view of the river.

    We stayed at River Park Inn for three nights the last week of 2011. The stay was exceptional. Pat is a perfect hostess and the inn is impeccably maintained. We will stay there again, guaranteed.

    We decided to get married in the park Gazebo about two blocks from the Inn - so, I contacted Pat for a reservation. She was a very gracious and wonderful hostess. Not only was the room fantastic - but her breakfasts are the very best that I have had at a B&B. Our stay was private, relaxing and very convenient to the locale of our wedding. A++++++

    Scouting for an Outing!

    We came as a family for our daughter's fourth birthday and to make up for a rained out Dec school fieldtrip to St Augustine. My son is a scout and we came to check out a local popular camping area for a future scout visit also. Pat and Dale welcomed us like family and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of completely. They suggested great tips to local areas, directions, recommendation to local restuarant and offered great conversation in general. The rooms and home are beautiful and historically accurate decorated but also comfortable and inviting!! It was a great trip and we will return soon! The scouts may camp next time we are in town...but I'm staying "at home" with Pat and Dale!
