I was lucky enough to spend a week at the riverside bed and breakfast. I was treated as a friend, not just a guest. It was one of the best experiences that i have had at a bed and breakfast. The hostess, Nita, makes her home warm and inviting to all that past through the doors. She provides more ammenities than any other b&b where I have stayed. There is an upstairs deck which overlooks a beautiful back garden. What a wonderful way to end a busy day -just sitting with a glass of wine watching the sun set. The house is filled with beautiful interesting antiques. I truly recommend staying at a place where you can feel at home no matter far you have traveled from your own home

It's Nita who makes the visit so much fun. She has a great personality, great food, & lets her guests come and go. She knows the history of the Riverview and the River Historic District. I always learn (and laugh) at the Riverview Guest House.

Wonderful location in a leafy-green neighborhood. Nicely appointed rooms in a 100+ year old house. The best part was our friendly and gracious hosts who went out of their way to make our stay special and memorable.

September 04, 2011
This is a very good place to stay, we only had a day to spend in Kankakee which is a shame as this is a very nice place to visit. Our host is very friendly and good to talk to, her home is full of a wide variety of treasures and interesting artifacts. As a guest you are made very welcome. The breakfast was excellent served on the patio were you can enjoy this charming surrounding. We are a couple visiting from the UK and we left pleased to have spent our time here.
