    In Jacksonville at the turn of the century, 50 mansions lined Riverside Avenue in an area known as "The Row". Today, only two of these fabled homes remain. The Riverdale Inn is one of them. For those that desire a nightcap, the "Gum Bunch Pub" is available for beverages. With all the available amenities of the Riverdale Inn, your stay will be a memorable experience

    Great Place to Stay

    April 23, 2013

    The Riverdale Inn more than met our expectations. The rooms were bright and well decorated with comfortable beds. We peeked in all that were vacant. The breakfast was superb and served with smiles and great conversation. Were within walking distance of restaurants, shops and parks. Short drive to Avondale and city locations. We'll visit again!

    Weekend Getaway in Jacksonville

    March 31, 2013

    We loved our stay at Riverdale Inn. The relaxed atmosphere made us feel so welcome in this vintage B&B. Our room was beautiful, and the food was excellent. We walked to dinner Friday night and to a farmer's market the next morning. Later, we explored Jacksonville and found everything from antiques to trendy shopping to fine dining. Our experience was wonderful, and we'll definitely go back!

    5 star historic charm

    March 21, 2013

    This Inn is very large and historic. The area is beautiful, nestled in historic Jacksonville, right next to the St. John's River. The Inn is immaculate, professionally cleaned. The vacant rooms are left open and we enjoyed looking around. There is a fully stocked bar on the back of the Inn, which was wonderful and convenient. If we come to Jacksonville again, this is the only place we will stay. Jeanna Bryan
